After breaking off relations, I started living a supreme life!

In the nearby territories, the status of merchants is not low due to the existence of the Four-Party Chamber of Commerce.

But something like Xiao Yang, who directly and madly raised his business status, was unprecedented and will never be repeated.

Many people were talking behind his back, saying that Xiao Yang married a merchant's daughter, so he was confused and actually spared no effort to elevate the status of merchants.

Of course, Xiao Yang is no longer the same person he was before. Even the most blind person would not be stupid enough to say that he married into the Liu family.

But in fact, Xiao Yang himself really doesn't care about this at all.

"Ridiculous! What qualifications does he have to change the name of Tianshui City without authorization?"

Others just felt it was ridiculous, but the people from Tianshui Academy all expressed that they could not accept it.

The education they received made them more loyal to the royal family and very contemptuous of businessmen.

Hearing that Xiao Yang had arbitrarily changed the name of the city and brazenly changed Tianshui City into a shopping mall, this undoubtedly violated their bottom line.

"Everyone go back!"

Countless students angrily wanted to go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to protest and argue with Xiao Yang, but a helpless voice blocked everyone's way.

The old headmaster personally guarded the gate and wouldn't let anyone go out.

"This is impossible, let's just forget it! We will never compromise!"

Among a large group of students, someone roared angrily, and a heroic figure rushed directly to the old headmaster.

"Teacher! This is not what you taught us. Sacrificing one's life for the sake of righteousness is what scholars like me pursue!"

Zhao Jiuzhou, the academy's number one prodigy who specialized in Confucianism and Taoism, bowed to the old dean and asked loudly and reasonably.

"What do you know? Xiao Yang really doesn't care about your lives!"

The old headmaster just felt a headache, and he shouted out with all his heart, but it had the opposite effect.

"We are not afraid of death!"

"People's words are scary, can we kill them to stop them?"

Everyone was shouting excitedly, causing the old headmaster to completely lose his patience.

"Shut up, everyone!"

"I declare that no one is allowed to leave Tianshui Academy! Otherwise, it will be considered as treason against the academy!"

"Listen to me, I have received news that a group of Confucian masters from the Jixia Academy of the Great Qi Dynasty will come to our Tianshui City."

"At that time, a bunch of filthy people who are obsessed with money will naturally not be in the eyes of the great scholars and will not be able to survive for long!"

The old headmaster said an exciting news, and the other students were calmed down, but Zhao Jiuzhou frowned.

He felt that it was inappropriate to rely on external forces to deal with the affairs of Tianshui City.

Even though all Confucianists in the world are one family, he still felt a little repulsed and felt that he was too incompetent.

That night, Zhao Jiuzhou hurriedly slipped out of Tianshui Academy. He wandered around the city and was shocked to find that Tianshui City had undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time.

The whole city is filled with the atmosphere of commerce. The signs of Liu's Business are everywhere, and almost all the houses facing the street have been converted into shops.

Especially on the city wall, there are two huge words "Shopping Mall" hung blatantly, making people almost forget that this place was Tianshui City not long ago.

"That's unreasonable!"

Zhao Jiuzhou couldn't bear it any longer. He suddenly soared into the sky, swung the sword in his hand, and knocked those two words out from the top of the city wall.

Then he swung his sword again and left two lines of words on the top of the city.

He said that he would go to the Jixia Academy of the Great Qi Dynasty to seek refuge, and when he returned after completing his studies, he would seek revenge on Xiao Yang!

"Zhao Jiuzhou, stay!"

Then he left his name, let out a long and elegant whistle, and left in a hurry.

Under the cover of night, Zhao Jiuzhou rushed out for more than a hundred miles with great satisfaction. He suddenly felt heroic and shouted excitedly to the sky.

"Oh! You kid, you are really making a fuss!"

But at this moment, a familiar voice was heard, which frightened Zhao Jiuzhou so much that he felt cold all over and almost fell off the horse.

"Sir! You, how could you…"

Zhao Jiuzhou was stunned. He didn't expect that the old principal of Tianshui College would be blocking here.

"You are going to the Jixia Academy. This is exactly what I want! Come, come, I have prepared a treasure for you. It can be used as a gift for your audience. It is enough for you to enter the Jixia Academy smoothly!"

The old headmaster had a kind smile on his face. He waved at Zhao Jiuzhou and took out a small bag from his arms.

"How can this be so embarrassing? Sir, you…"

Zhao Jiuzhou was somewhat moved. He walked forward with a trembling voice and reached out to take the bundle.

"Why are you being so polite to me? You have been an orphan since you were young, and I brought you up personally..."

The old headmaster sighed, Zhao Jiuzhou reached out to take it, and he handed the bundle forward.

"puff!"

The next moment, under Zhao Jiuzhou's incredulous gaze, the bag in the old headmaster's hand exploded, revealing the dagger hidden inside!

The poisoned dagger penetrated Zhao Jiuzhou's body completely, and the latter was stunned.

"Why, why?"

Zhao Jiuzhou's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at the old headmaster in disbelief. He never expected that the senior whom he trusted and respected the most would suddenly assassinate him.

"Jiuzhou! Actually, I lied to you! You are not an orphan, but a great man in the past who personally handed you to me!"

Lao Shan sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Now Xiao Yang's power is already established, and no one in the entire Dafeng Dynasty can deal with him!"

"In order to stop him from causing trouble in Tianshui City and making the people suffer, I can only resort to this last resort!"

"Our ideals are the same. We must never let business rise! For our ideals, we should make some appropriate sacrifices!"

"You can understand what I did today, right?"

The old headmaster had a ferocious look on his face. As he spoke, he swung the dagger in his hand wildly, crushing Zhao Jiuzhou's body to pieces!

"you!"

Zhao Jiuzhou couldn't say anything anymore. He looked at his respected elder with a complicated expression, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Even though he died with his eyes open, he could do nothing about it.

"call!"

He killed with his own hands the disciple he had raised and who was also his most outstanding disciple. The old headmaster was covered in cold sweat and could not help but collapse on the ground, gasping for breath.

On the other side, Xiao Yang accompanied Liu Ye with a speechless face and came to the top of the city wall.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yang couldn't understand when he suppressed Confucianism and promoted business?

Where is this going?

He really didn't expect that in this ancient world, there would be such brainless martyrs.

"I'll have someone repair this place! Since he's already escaped, let it go!"

Liu Ye was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She did not take the matter seriously and thought it was just a child's mischief.
