Chapter 552 Kidnapping a Half-Limit Douluo as a Bodyguard
Ye Nanxiao didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. No wonder his left eyebrow kept twitching even though he was jumping back and forth on the edge of the keyboard.
"A new member of the Sea God Pavilion? Holy crap! A future member of the Sea God Pavilion!" Xu Sanshi exclaimed in surprise, straightening his back abruptly.
This sudden movement caused Beibei, who was working together to move a large object, to be thrown forward. Fortunately, Beibei managed to steady herself by stepping forward with one foot.
"You bastard! Are you eyeing my collection of newspapers? Want to inherit them as soon as possible?" Bei Bei slowly put down the large object she was holding, turned around and slapped Xu Sanshi on the shoulder.
"No! Beibei! Nanxiao has entered the Sea God Pavilion!" Xu Sanshi said excitedly, as if the thick leg he usually clung to had grown even thicker.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Bei Bei turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, who was looking smug.
Sensing Beibei's gaze, Ye Nanxiao raised his hand, slowly pinched his cheek, and then shook his head.
Beibei immediately understood Ye Nanxiao's meaning, and reached out to Xu Sanshi's back, Dragon Claw!
"Holy crap!!! Beibei, why the hell are you pinching me?!" Xu Sanshi was in so much pain that he practiced long jumps on the spot, trying to reach his back to cover the painful spot with his hands, but he found that he was not flexible enough to reach the painful spot in the middle of his back.
Beibei nodded emphatically at Ye Nanxiao. "Looks like you weren't dreaming!"
"Wife! I've made something of myself again! Finally, we can change all the dishes on the cafeteria menu to meat buns!" Ye Nanxiao happily hugged Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan, picked them up one in each arm, and spun them around twice.
Since we're all from the Sea God Pavilion now, changing the menu in the cafeteria should be easy, right?
"So many people are watching!" Jiang Nannan was rather shy, and being able to hug and kiss lightly in front of everyone was the limit for her.
On the contrary, Ma Xiaotao wasn't shy at all. She hugged Ye Nanxiao's head and kissed him hard, saying, "No wonder I chose you!"
As a member of the Sea God Pavilion, Ye Nanxiao's name will once again resound throughout Shrek Academy, and even graduates will know that the new member of the Sea God Pavilion is such a young and promising one.
As wives, they are naturally very happy that their husbands are so successful.
Elder Xuan chuckled as he sipped his wine, walked over to Huo Yuhao, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao boy is the new one, you're from the next generation, so you'll have to keep an eye on this troublesome fox!"
"By then, no one will be able to stop Mud Sauce. The next Sea God Pavilion Master will be in trouble, don't you think, Elder Xuan?" Huo Yuhao laughed, and his hands moved much faster.
"Whether I have a headache or not, I don't know, after all, I don't intend to care," Elder Xuan said casually.
To outsiders, the Sea God Pavilion appears to be a group of elders and members led by its leader, managing Shrek Academy and Shrek City, and making silent contributions to the world.
In reality, the management system of the Sea God Pavilion is relatively relaxed. Each elder and member has their own duties to attend to on a daily basis, and in addition to their duties, they are also busy with their own chosen cultivation and research matters.
Aside from regularly reporting their duties to Elder Mu, they only appear when the Sea God Pavilion holds meetings. Otherwise, they generally don't appear at the Sea God Pavilion except for official business.
This is also the leisurely time that Old Mu spends idly basking in the sun every day.
Previously, when Ye Nanxiao was studying soul tools and drawing design blueprints in the Sun Moon Empire, Qian Duoduo had intended to propose at the Sea God Pavilion meeting that Ye Nanxiao be invited to join the Sea God Pavilion.
As the vice sect leader of the Tang Sect, Ye Nanxiao spearheaded the establishment of a cooperative relationship between the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, which eased tensions between the two schools and accelerated the development of the Soul Guidance Department. These two achievements are enough to serve as a stepping stone for him.
Ye Nanxiao also agreed with Qian Duoduo's approach. Being a member of the Sea God Pavilion not only allows one to enjoy the abundant resources of Shrek Academy, but also serves as a very convenient calling card.
As the number one academy in the world, Shrek Academy's graduates are geniuses that countries compete for every year. The attention of the three great empires allows Shrek graduates to travel all over the world, and even the royal family will send some members to study at Shrek Academy.
These Shrek Academy graduates, scattered across the three great empires, are an important resource in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, an incredibly vast network of connections.
Ye Nanxiao's status as a member of the Sea God Pavilion has enabled him to once again advance his grand ambitions, and his business ventures are now proceeding smoothly.
Ye Nanxiao had thought it over carefully. Although he owned the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, its influence was greatly limited by the various barriers between the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires.
It is true that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is a leading enterprise in the Sun and Moon Empire, but its influence declines sharply once it enters the territories of the three great empires, and its cargo transportation is often subject to surprise inspections.
The most troublesome thing for Li Yuanren and Ye Nanxiao was that the laws of the three empires were not interchangeable.
Adapting to the four laws is no easy task.
This made it difficult to establish a chain of influence, which troubled Ye Nanxiao for a while.
After that, Qian Duoduo mentioned joining the Sea God Pavilion to Ye Nanxiao. With the golden name card of being a member of the Sea God Pavilion, Ye Nanxiao could create a brand new top-notch businessman persona and establish another "Aodu Chamber of Commerce".
After a brief moment of joy, everyone quickly helped Ye Nanxiao pack up the backup resources. Elder Xuan had his wine gourd taken away by Ma Xiaotao, so he could only agree to set off again at noon the next day.
For dinner, Elder Xuan stayed at the Tang Clan. Everyone sat around a large round table. Among the first generation members of the Tang Clan, only Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan were missing. However, Ye Nanxiao was locked in a small room, and everyone knew the reason.
Huo Yuhao, unusually, drank with Bei Bei tonight.
After dinner, Huo Yuhao followed Bei Bei and disappeared, arriving at the lotus pond in the backyard.
"You're busy everywhere, aren't you?" Huo Yuhao sighed softly.
Bei Bei glanced at Huo Yuhao and nodded, saying, "Nan Xiao is the busiest among us. Tang Sect also needs Nan Xiao's help. In a way, it's my fault."
"Senior Brother, do you mean that Ni Jiang is still busy with academy affairs?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Beibei was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "Yuhao, Nanxiao has to worry about far more than just the academy and Tang Sect; there's also the organization he established himself."
"Hey, you!" Huo Yuhao stared wide-eyed at Bei Bei, it was the first time he had heard about this.
"Yuhao, actually, there was a time when Nanxiao asked me to find a new deputy sect leader for the Tang Clan because he had too many things to do and couldn't spare the energy. However, Xiaoya and I didn't agree. Instead, we shared Nanxiao's official duties so that he could have more energy to deal with his own affairs."
"The Tang Clan was built by Nanxiao. We will not force Nanxiao to stay in the Tang Clan, because he will see a new world."
"But just lending your name to someone is a classic practice of Nanxiao's," Beibei said with a slight smile.
Huo Yuhao was surprised that Ye Nanxiao had already established his own organization outside, but why hadn't he mentioned it to him?
The latest novel is first published here!
Bei Bei seemed to see through Huo Yuhao's thoughts and explained, "Nan Xiao will face both light and darkness, but he hopes more on creating a clear blue sky for you so you can enjoy the warm sunshine. That's the meaning behind his efforts."
"Otherwise, do you think Tang Sect can always find good partner sects or chambers of commerce? Those have all been screened by Nan Xiao. Moreover, Tang Sect has risen rapidly, and it will inevitably attract the attention of various forces. Shrek Academy's reputation alone is not enough. Commercial competition alone can bypass the academy's rules."
"Actually, we've always been protected by Nanxiao!"
Beibei smiled happily, her eyes shining.
To have met a brother like Dao is a blessing in this life.
However, Huo Yuhao was greatly shocked and filled with guilt.
Ye Nanxiao has always been protecting me in secret, and I'm always the one being protected. When will I be able to truly share some of the responsibilities with Ye Nanxiao?
"Senior Brother!" Huo Yuhao suddenly called out.
"Hmm?" Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao and saw that his fists were clenched tightly.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head slightly, letting his bangs fall down to cover his eyes.
"What kind of enemies is he facing? I want to know!" Huo Yuhao's eyes seemed to burn with flames.
From Bei Bei's few casual words, Huo Yuhao could roughly judge how turbulent Ye Nanxiao had been when he was all alone.
From its inception, the Tang Sect was brought to an unparalleled peak by its first sect leader, Tang San.
Various unpredictable hidden weapons were sold, used by countless people, and killed by Tang Clan hidden weapons, leading to the destruction of the sect.
Even though the Tang Clan declined afterward because its true hidden weapons were not sold to outsiders, established sects that knew about the Tang Clan would still be wary of its real hidden weapons.
Bei Bei didn't expect Huo Yuhao to ask this question. To be honest, even he himself didn't know the specifics of the situation back then, because Ye Nanxiao had taken care of both the sales channels and the establishment of partnerships on his own.
He and Tang Ya were already overwhelmed with the establishment of systems such as sect management, operation mechanisms, and disciple recruitment. In the end, they even had to ask Xu Sanshi to refer to the various sect systems of the Xuanming Sect.
After they had initially perfected the system, Ye Nanxiao had completed his task and freed up his hands to help them fix the loopholes in the initial version of the system. His clone even took over the important task of recruiting disciples.
"Dark Night Guild, Overlord Blade Sect, Taibai Tower, Dream Star Terrace." Beibei counted on her fingers, recalling some of the sects that Tang Sect targeted when it was first established.
The more Huo Yuhao listened, the heavier his mood became. Although he didn't know much about these sects, just looking at their numbers, it was hard to imagine how powerful these sects, which dared to confront the Tang Sect despite the pressure from Shrek Academy, were.
"I don't know much either. I found this out by following the clues in the cooperative diplomatic records. So, even if Nanxiao establishes his own sect, we will wholeheartedly support him. If possible, Tangmen will share all resources except for hidden weapons, just because Nanxiao single-handedly supported half of Tangmen back then." Beibei said with a smile, her eyes full of sincere emotion.
The moonlight shone over the roof of the pavilion, skimming the eaves and falling on the two of them, dispelling the haze of the night and illuminating the resentment and guilt on Huo Yuhao's face.
