Chapter 346 Half a Month

"Hehe, Tian Chu, Chu Tian, ​​it's just the opposite, but they are definitely not the same person..."

Ye Mingzhu chuckled and thought secretly.

Chu Tian naturally had no idea about Ye Mingzhu's thoughts at the moment.

However, even if he knew, he would not care.

After all, his appearance has changed drastically at the moment, and his cultivation is only half a step into the spiritual vein realm, so it is difficult to connect him with Chu Tian.

"Miss Ye, what happened to the previous Shen Yexing?"

Chu Tian suddenly asked curiously.

Ye Mingzhu smiled bitterly and explained.

Shen Yexing is the son of the governor of Xiongshan County.

The Shen family is currently the leading family in Xiongshan County. It operates a large number of industries in the county, mainly selling elixirs and developing minerals.

The Ye family is also a family of refining weapons that has been prosperous in Xiongshan County for many years. Its main industry is the sale of finished weapons.

Originally, the two industries have different focuses and have always kept to themselves.

But since Shen Sheng, the head of the Shen family, took the throne of the county governor a few years ago, his ambition has grown and he also wants to enter the weapons sales industry to share a piece of the pie!

Unfortunately, the Shen family invited several weapon refiners to join at a high price. After several years of tossing, they still could not pose any threat to the Ye family.

"The Shen family can't do anything to your Ye family, so they won't give up, right?"

Chu Tian smiled and asked back when he heard this.

Ye Mingzhu's face was gloomy, and he nodded and sighed: "Yes, half a year ago..."

Chu Tian listened carefully, and a trace of spirit gradually appeared in his eyes.

Half a year ago, the old head of the Ye family passed away due to illness.

After a series of open and secret struggles, Ye Mingzhu's father Ye Peng successfully took over and became the new generation of the head of the Ye family.

However, on the night when Ye Peng successfully took over, a major event that changed the fate of the entire Ye family happened!

Another elder of the Ye family who failed to compete for the position of the head of the family, named Ye Ke, actually quietly stole the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire and Water Spirit Mo Yan that had been passed down for many years in the Ye family.

When the Ye family found out that the spiritual fire had been stolen, it was too late!

Ye Ke stole the Shuiling Moyan and immediately joined the Shen family with several of his loyal men!

Since the theft of the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, the quality of the finished weapons refined by the Ye family has declined significantly.

As the product quality declined, sales naturally declined as well!

In just half a year, the various industries under the Ye family have shrunk by nearly half!

With the joining of Ye Ke, the Shen family's refining strength has skyrocketed countless times, grabbing a large amount of market!

Not long ago, the Shen family had already made a bold statement that they would completely squeeze the Ye family out of Xiongshan County within three months!

It can be said that the current Ye family is in a precarious period, and it is really possible that they will be squeezed out of Xiongshan Town within three months!

"If I am not mistaken, that Shen Yexing also has some improper thoughts about you, right?"

Chu Tian asked tentatively.

"Hmph, that guy wants me to be his concubine. Not only that, he also wants to forcibly buy all the properties of my Ye family at a 10% discount!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingzhu immediately gritted her teeth and showed hatred on her face.

"10% discount, this is too bold to think about!"

Chu Tian was shocked when he heard this.

Obviously, this Shen Yexing is definitely a ruthless character.

Not only does he want to occupy Ye Mingzhu, but he also wants to buy the Ye family's properties at a super low price and completely make the Ye family disappear from Xiongshan County!

However, if the Ye family agrees to this request, it will disappear quickly.

If they do not agree to the other party's request, they will go through countless painful torments and slowly disappear.

After a few breaths, Chu Tian suddenly thought of something and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Ye, even if three months later, I represent the Ye family to participate in the weapon refining competition and really enter the final top ten, can the Ye family be saved?"

"Yes!"

Ye Mingzhu nodded solemnly.

"First of all, you represent the Ye family in the competition. If you really make it into the final top ten, then the reputation of the Ye family will skyrocket, and the business will naturally soar!"

"Secondly, there is actually a young fire separated from the previous Shui Ling Mo Yan in the family. In the past six months, the masters of the family have been cultivating the fire with all their strength. In about three months, the fire will be completely mature!"

"Once the fire in the family is completely mature, the Shui Ling Mo Yan controlled by Ye Ke will automatically disappear, and all crises will be solved naturally!"

Ye Mingzhu's mouth moved and whispered.

"Hiss..."

After hearing this, Chu Tian took a breath of cold air and a trace of shock appeared on his face.

Before, he met the Xu family, a family of alchemy, and now he met the Ye family, a family of refining tools.

These two families are large families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, with a deep foundation, and some of their magical methods are beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

"Thank you Miss Ye for your trust and for telling me such confidential information!"

Chu Tian clasped his fists towards Ye Mingzhu, his face full of gratitude.

"Haha, if you really want to thank me, work hard on refining weapons in the next three months and strive to enter the top ten in the future refining competition!"

Ye Mingzhu smiled.

"Top ten... why not top three, or even... first?"

Chu Tian muttered to himself when he heard this.

The two walked side by side and soon came to the gate of a green mansion.

This mansion is the residence of the Ye family, which has a history of hundreds of years.

"Miss!"

When the gate guard saw Ye Mingzhu, he immediately saluted respectfully and gave Chu Tian a wary look.

Ye Mingzhu nodded and led Chu Tian into the mansion.

It happened that many elders of the Ye family were having a meeting in the meeting hall, so Ye Mingzhu simply took Chu Tian toward the meeting hall deep in the mansion.

In the meeting hall, the atmosphere was solemn.

A middle-aged man in purple robes with a cold face sat in the main seat, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

He is Ye Mingzhu's father Ye Peng, and he is also the current head of the Ye family!

"Master, in the past half month, the sales volume of the family's various properties has dropped by about one-third. The situation is getting more and more serious. If this continues, we can only support it for half a month at most, and we will be flooded by a large number of people. Debt is completely killing me!”

An elder in charge of finance said with an anxious look on his face.

"Half a month, how come it's so fast? Last time, didn't you say you could still hold on for three months?"

Ye Peng was startled and asked quickly.

The financial elder replied with a grimace: "That's normal. Now our suppliers are being forced by the Shen family, a big customer, and they are coming to demand their accounts. We really can only support it for half a month!"

"It's the Shen family again, damn it!"

Ye Peng's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his fists were clenched tightly.

It was obvious that the Shen family suddenly accelerated the pace of completely exterminating the Ye family!

If the Ye family cannot find a solution quickly, they may not even be able to survive for half a month!

Ye Peng couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that such a large family that had been passed down for hundreds of years would be destroyed in his own hands!
