The next morning.

As usual, Ye Xiu fed Xiaobai with dog food and brought him into the shop.

He had already promised to give Ban Feimeng some pointers. Even though he had said a few words yesterday, he still had to go take a look today.

When he arrived at the bookstore, Ban Feimeng was already waiting at the entrance. Today, she had tied her hair into a ponytail, making her look even more youthful and beautiful.

“Good morning, Senior.” Ban Feimeng greeted respectfully.

“There’s no need to be so serious. Have you waited long?” Ye Xiu replied with a smile.

“No, I should be respectful.” Ban Feimeng hurriedly said.

She knew that with Senior Ye’s methods, he definitely knew when she had arrived. She naturally wanted to show her sincerity, so she had waited an hour in advance for Senior Ye.

Ye Xiu looked at the jujube tree next to the shop. The jujube tree had shrunk back to its usual state, but it seemed to have become livelier. Even its leaves seemed to be shining. There were no weeds on the ground around the roots. It must have been cleared, and it was probably Ban Feimeng’s doing.

“This little guy has grown up quite a bit. You’ve done well.”

When Ban Feimeng heard this, she smiled. She maintained the smile on her face and suppressed her joy as she said, “You’re flattering me. It’s just a small matter.”

For a legendary mage like Senior Ye who could influence the laws of the world, even if it was just a simple compliment, to her, it was better than the praise of millions of people in the world.

Even though Ink deliberately tried to recover to avoid being noticed by other ordinary people, how could it avoid Senior Ye’s gaze?

It was likely that Senior Ye saw through its transformation and praised it like this.

Ye Xiu smiled faintly and walked over to open the shop door. He was a bit happy.

He put Xiaobai down and let it play in the shop. Ye Xiu turned his head and said, “You’ll copy the picture scroll this morning. In the afternoon, I’ll practice painting. You will watch from the side.”

After giving a few simple instructions, Ye Xiu didn’t bother with Ban Feimeng. Instead, he entered the shop and started reading some ancient culture books.

Ink wash paintings were one of the ways to earn money. The customers were also very important. If he didn’t understand some ancient culture, how could he chat with the fans of ancient culture who came to the shop?

A portion of the fans of ancient culture bought ink wash paintings precisely because they wanted to chat with him.

After receiving Senior Ye’s instructions, Ban Feimeng immediately prepared something and solemnly began copying.

When she practiced, Xiaobai would run to the desk and sleep underneath. Facing the Demonic Dragon Throne above, Xiaobai would continuously absorb the energy that flowed from it and transform its own bloodline.

Since Ban Feimeng wasn’t at that level, she couldn’t detect Xiaobai’s movements. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, was so engrossed in reading that he didn’t notice it at all. Of course, even if he did notice it, he wouldn’t be able to tell.

Ye Xiu was already engrossed in reading the ancient culture books. There were usually records of stories sung by wandering poets. The main characters were usually ancient legendary mages. Those untold stories brought him a trace of the ancient scenery.

A gentle breeze blew over. The leaves on the jujube tree were stirred up, as well as the corner of Ban Feimeng’s picture scroll. Xiaobai moved its tail under the desk and finally came to Ye Xiu’s side, turning the pages of the paper.

Time quietly passed, and it was a peaceful life. It seemed like there were no ripples.

Just like that, the days calmed down.

Ye Xiu also began his repetitive life. Every morning, he fed the dog and look after the shop. He had Ban Feimeng grind the ink herself. In the afternoon, he practiced drawing ink wash painting, and Ban Feimeng would watch him. At night, he went home to eat, sleep, and play with Xiaobai.

The jujube tree at the entrance grew stronger and stronger. If nothing went wrong, it might be able to bear fruit next year and harvest a batch of jujubes.

But what Ye Xiu didn’t understand was that it had been almost a month. Why hadn’t there been a single customer?

In the past, even if there hadn’t been any business, there would at least have been some customers who had come in to take a look because of the bookstore’s name. Now, there wasn’t even a trace of them.

It was so quiet that Ye Xiu thought that the customers had already abandoned him.

However, fortunately, he had earned three to four hundred thousand in a row. Even if there was no business this year, it wouldn’t affect his quality of life.

There was a saying that if you didn’t close any business deals for half a year, and when you are getting business again, it has to make up for half a year’s expenses.

It was acceptable to give the customers a bit of mental preparation. Even if it was growing chives, they had to be nurtured until they grew up.

Ye Xiu had been consoling himself like this recently to prevent his mentality from changing.

That afternoon.

After looking at Ban Feimeng’s copy of the ink wash painting, Ye Xiu nodded his head to confirm the results of her recent practice. Then, he brought Xiaobai home to prepare cooking.

Ban Feimeng went back to South City to eat by herself. She didn’t go with Ye Xiu.

After lunch, it was inevitable that he would feel a bit sleepy. Ye Xiu decided to return to the shop in the afternoon after taking a nap.

After sleeping until two o’clock, Ye Xiu washed his face and brought Xiaobai back to the shop.

Ban Feimeng was cleaning, but it was clear that she was distracted. The area she was cleaning was very clean, but she was still sweeping the same spot with the broom.

Ye Xiu asked curiously, “What happened?”

Ban Feimeng came back to her senses and hurriedly put away the broom. She replied, “When I went to eat lunch, I heard that there was a fire in South City, causing a lot of casualties. The Lin family was affected.”

Ye Xiu was slightly startled. He was a bit surprised.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Suxin had chatted with him before. Her home was in South City. Most of the area there was filled with her clansmen.

These days, there were actually casualties caused by fires, and it was even in the territory of a large clan.

It seemed like the homes of rich people weren’t particularly safe. After all, without a mage looking after them all year round, it was inevitable that they wouldn’t be able to react in time.

“Oh right, speaking of which, Lin Suxin brought me two customers. She also bought Xiaobai’s dog food. Lin Pingzhi is also a customer of mine. Do you want to pay them a visit to show my concern?” Ye Xiu thought of visiting them.

After all, he had earned 300,000 gold coins from this pair of father and daughter. If he maintained a good relationship with them, he might earn even more in the future.

Now that such a major accident had happened, perhaps they had also been affected by the fire. He should go over and take a look. Even if he didn’t go, he should at least send someone to take a look and send their regards.

When Lin Pingzhi visited the shop for the first time, he was received by Ban Feimeng. Lin Pingzhi was also intimidated by Ban Feimeng, so it was not ideal to send Ban Feimeng over.

But if she was left in the shop, she wouldn’t know how to receive the customers. If she chased the customers away, wouldn’t it be a loss?

Some of the customers who came to the shop had strange tempers. Who knew what kind of conflict they might have.

Ye Xiu muttered to himself. For a moment, he couldn’t make up his mind.

Ban Feimeng saw that Ye Xiu didn’t say anything and thought that he was thinking of a way to deal with this matter.

She knew a bit of the inside story. The Lin family had been attacked by a black mage. They told the outside world that it was a fire, so as not to cause panic among the ordinary people. After all, it had been a long time since a black mage had appeared in the lives of ordinary people, however, the Mage Alliance was already urgently discussing how to deal with it.

That time in the Magical Beast Forest, the black mage had already made a move. And now it has happened to the Lin family again. She didn’t know what those guys were planning in the dark, but the key thing was, every time those black mages targeted the South City, they would faintly point at it.

Senior Ye was living in seclusion here, walking around the human world like an ordinary person. If his plan was ruined, the entire magical family in the South City would be responsible.

The key point was that if Senior Ye leave because he didn’t want to be discovered, who would be able to find him in the future?

If he was really affected by this matter, then wouldn’t her opportunity be gone?

Thinking of this, Ban Feimeng was also a little anxious.

This time, she couldn’t let the opportunity slip by..
