Jiang Ping An walked out of the room, preparing a selling point Dharma Treasure, and getting some ores for refining weapons.

Speaking of which, why hasn't his new master come back yet? It's been several months.

You won't die outside, right?

Jiang Ping An discovered a problem. Anyone who became his master seemed to have to go through some hardships.

Don't die now, he hasn't benefited yet.

Walking out of the room, I heard cursing coming from the corridor.

"You have the worst performance in the entire store. You have sold the fewest Dharma Treasures, and the Dharma Treasures you have purchased don't make much profit. How do you expect the store to make money? Get out of here!"

A monk in yellow robes was cursing at the maid.

Bao Zhi lowered her head, biting her red lips, tears welling up in her eyes. She would not deceive others, nor would she betray herself to benefit customers, nor could she make more profits for the store.

This was already the fifth store she had entered, and it was like this every time. Could it be that in this world, the only way to survive is to sell yourself?

"What happened?" Jiang Ping An walked over and asked.

"Who are you? This is a private area upstairs. Who asked you to come up here?" Zhou Yuan frowned and stared at Jiang Ping An with a look of dissatisfaction.

"He is the immortal master's new disciple." Bao Zhi whispered from the side.

"Oh."

Zhou Yuan suddenly realized that it was the handyman hired by the immortal master, "Master, what can I do for you?"

Although he knew that he was a handyman hired by the immortal master, on the surface, he was still the apprentice of the immortal master, so he still had to show respect.

"I just came over to ask what happened." Jiang Ping An said.

"I'm the manager of this store. I just kicked away a useless person who doesn't make money." Zhou Yuan said.

"Give me these three months' salary and I'll leave right now."

Bao Zhi fisted her skirt, lowered her head and whispered.

"You still have the nerve to ask for a salary? How much have you earned in the past three months? Moreover, these three months are a probation period. You have not passed the test, so you don't have a salary. Get out of here and don't force me to send you out personally!"

Zhou Yuan has no intention of giving these three months' salary to Bao Zhi. He went gambling some time ago, lost a lot of money, and borrowed a loan shark. The money has already been given away, and he has no money to give. This is why he drove this woman away, so that he could deduct these three months' salary.

Jiang Ping An said, "I happened to be looking for her to buy and sell a piece of supplies. The price exceeds one million Immortal Crystal. There will be a certain amount of profit for the store, so there is no need to fire her."

It doesn't matter who he buys or sells these supplies to. This maid had kindly reminded him before that his character was not bad, so it was not difficult to do a small favor.

When Bao Zhi heard this, he raised his red eyes and looked at Jiang Ping An with emotion. He didn't expect that the other party would help.

"No!" Zhou Yuan shouted immediately, "Leaving this kind of garbage here will only waste Immortal Crystal, and it has no meaning at all for the store."

The most important thing is that if this woman stays here, he has no money to give her and must be driven away.

"Then give her the salary. It's not easy for them to make money. They won't have much Immortal Crystal in three months." Jiang Ping An said.

Zhou Yuan said with a sullen face, "Master, can you please stop meddling in other people's business? The Immortal Master asked me to manage the store, so I will do my duty faithfully and resolutely safeguard the interests of the store. If you have any problems, you can tell the Immortal Master."

"Forget it, I'd better go."

Bao Zhi didn't want to cause a rift between the two of them because of herself. She was not related to Jiang Ping An, so she was very touched that the other party could offer a few words of help.

At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran upstairs, "Master Zhou! Master Zhou! Oh no, someone is making trouble!"

"Who dares to come to my Hundred Weapons Sect store to cause trouble? Are you tired of living?" Zhou Yuan said coldly.

"It's a customer, saying that our Dharma Treasure has quality problems, please go down and have a look!" the woman shouted anxiously.

Zhou Yuan was very impatient and walked downstairs.

Downstairs, a man in gray clothes with a sinister face dropped a broken knife on the ground. The huge sound instantly attracted the attention of the customers in the shop.

"Where is your shop owner! Look at the garbage you sell Dharma Treasure!"

The man with a sinister face shouted, "This is the sword I bought in your store a few days ago. After buying it, I entered the Demon Empress's Small World to fight with great interest. But as soon as I started fighting, the broken knife exploded. I almost died in it, what a piece of rubbish!"

Zhou Yuan came down from upstairs and said with a smile, "Friend Daoist, maybe the enemy you encountered is too strong, or you used a high-level Dharma Treasure, so this situation occurs. Since you bought it a few days ago, we can repair it for free."

It is very common for Dharma Treasure to be damaged. At this time, customers must be stabilized. If it is not handled well, it will be difficult for other customers to buy Dharma Treasure again, which will affect the store's business.

"I don't want any free repairs. Who knows if it will break down in the future, please pay me immediately." The man with a sinister face shouted.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to this, Zhou Yuan cursed in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist, give me the purchase receipt, and I will refund your money."

At this moment, another tall and thin female monk walked in, threw a broken whip on the ground, and shouted angrily, "What a broken whip, I only used it a few times, and it broke."

Immediately afterwards, an old man with scars all over his body and one missing arm stumbled to the shop, holding a broken shield in his hand, "You... the junk shield sold in your shop suddenly exploded... I almost died..."

Three Dharma Treasures were damaged in a row, which made Zhou Yuan feel a little nervous and realized something was wrong. This might not be a problem with Dharma Treasure, but a premeditated frame-up.

Even if there is a problem with Dharma Treasure, it is impossible for so many to appear at once.

The customers in the store immediately started talking about it.

"The Dharma Treasure damage rate in this store is so high."

"I'm scared to death. I still won't buy it from this store. Dharma Treasure will die if there is a problem."

"Damn it, I just bought a sword, I'm returning it."

The guests are very afraid. The quality of Dharma Treasure is related to their own lives. No one will make fun of their own lives. Once something happens, thousands of years of hard work will be in vain, dao companion will run into other people's beds, and parents and relatives will be heartbroken.

Zhou Yuan shouted, "Don't panic, everyone, these people must have come from other stores to frame us! We, Hundred Weapons Sect, are the strongest weapon refining sect in the Immortal Realm, how could there be a large-scale quality problem?"

The man with a sinister face sneered, "You start to shirk responsibility when something goes wrong? I've already inquired about it. Your store just has a Hundred Weapons Sect brand. In fact, it's just a store opened by an ordinary Weapon Refinement Immortal Master among the Hundred Weapons Sect. It's not a store truly authorized by the Hundred Weapons Sect!"

The female monk holding a broken whip shouted, "Stop looking for excuses and return the money quickly!".

The scarred old man coughed up blood and said, "Not only do we have to compensate Dharma Treasure... but we also have to compensate for the elixir, cough~"

Some customers have begun to leave. They will not buy Dharma Treasure from a store with Dharma Treasure problems. They have saved Immortal Crystal for decades or hundreds of years. If they buy junk Dharma Treasure, they will cry to death.

Even this store is shirking responsibility and saying that it was framed.

Zhou Yuan was so angry that his chest felt clogged. He was sure that there must be other stores framing them, but there was no evidence.

The most important thing in doing business is image. Once a store has a bad reputation, it will be even harder to make money in the future.

Bao Zhi was watching a show next to her when a voice suddenly sounded in her mind, which shocked her body. After taking a look at Jiang Ping An, she bit her red lips, walked out, and asked the three of them, "Are you three together?"

"No, we don't know each other at all. Do you want to say that the three of us are colluding? Are you still shirking responsibility? What a rubbish shop." The man with a sinister face sneered.

Bao Zhi continued, "Since we don't know each other, why were the three of you Dharma Treasure damaged under the same Dharma Treasure?"

Everyone's attention was focused on Bao Zhi.

"What nonsense are you talking about again? What evidence do you have to say that?" the female monk cursed.

Bao Zhi raised his hand, pointed at Dharma Treasure, the three of them, and said to everyone:

"Look carefully, everyone, there are cut marks on both the broken knife and whip, and the old man who said the shield self-destructed also has cut marks on the shield. These are not irregular marks caused by self-destruction at all."

The old man who was vomiting blood suddenly stopped vomiting blood. After being stunned for a moment, he said, "I was knocked unconscious during the battle and my memory was wrong. It was indeed a shield that was chopped off with a sword. This also shows that there is something wrong with the quality of your Dharma Treasure! Moreover, why do you say that we were Dharma Treasure that were chopped off by the same sword? Don't you want to compensate?"

Bao Zhi smiled and said, "If you want to destroy Domain Realm's top grade Dharma Treasure, you need Dharma Treasure above Mystic Treasure level, and Dharma Treasure above Mystic Treasure all have the power of Great Dao Rules."

"After being attacked by this kind of Dharma Treasure, some Great Dao Rules will remain. As long as you look carefully, you can know whether you have been attacked by this high-level Dharma Treasure."

Bao Zhi suddenly shouted, "Someone is coming, close the door quickly, don't let them escape!"

After saying these last words, the expressions of the three of them changed, and they all ran away wildly outside, disappearing in an instant.

Bao Zhi pursed his lips and said, "Idiot, I lied to you. There is no Dao fluctuation left on it."

At this moment, the truth has been revealed.

Everyone suddenly realized that these three people had come here deliberately to cause trouble.

This maid was so smart that she easily defrauded this group of people and saved the store.

Supervisor Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The store crisis was finally resolved. If he was successfully framed, the loss would be too great and he would probably be driven away by the immortal master.

Jiang Ping An said from the side, "This maid is very smart and saved the store. I don't think there is any need to drive her away."

Zhou Yuan nodded, "I will reward you later."

It would be unwise to kick Bao Zhi away at this time and would affect people's hearts.

The Dharma Treasure fragments left by those three guys are also a sum of money, which can make up for the three months' salary of the maid.

He can also take this opportunity to draw a sum of money from the store's account as a reward, secretly keep half of it for himself, and give the remaining half to the maid.

Many maids looked at Bao Zhi with envy, never expecting that this usually dull woman could actually make meritorious deeds.

Bao Zhi looked at Jiang Ping An gratefully, her eyes flashing with tears. Only she knew that in fact, those words she just said were all told to her by Jiang Ping An.

If it weren't for this man, she might have been driven away.

This man is so smart and solved two problems easily.
