Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 336 Visiting to Apologize
The next day.
Xiao Yi woke up to find himself lying on the bed.

He smacked his head hard.
Last night, he was dragged by Huang Baitao and others to drink all night, and those were strong liquors made from spiritual medicine. Even those with deep cultivation couldn't withstand it.
Xiao Yi only remembered before he passed out.
There was not a single person at the table who could stand.
"Damn, this feeling is so painful, I definitely can't drink with them again..." Xiao Yi got out of bed, only to feel his legs go soft, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Creak!
Huang Yuwei pushed open the door, carrying a bowl of hot porridge as she walked in. Seeing Xiao Yi's state, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Xiao Yi, you're finally awake!"
"Ah? Yuwei, how much did I drink last night? How come I can't remember anything that happened afterward?"
Xiao Yi scratched his head, sat at the table, and as he smelled the fragrant porridge, his stomach growled. He gave a thumbs up, "This porridge smells amazing!"
As Huang Yuwei served Xiao Yi a bowl of porridge, she said with a hint of reproach: "You still have the nerve to talk! Last night, my father, the First Elder, and the Second Elder were knocked unconscious by your heavy drinking, and they were still throwing up this morning. And you, you even dragged my father and the elders to swear brotherhood of a different surname..."
Xiao Yi's face turned embarrassed, "Really?"
Huang Yuwei rolled her eyes and said, "Could it be anything else? My father and they said they don't hope to be born on the same year, month, and day, but hope to die on the same year, month, and day. Do you know what you said?"
"What?"
Xiao Yi managed to swallow a couple of spoonfuls of porridge, and a warm sensation brought him some relief.
Huang Yuwei covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "You said... a bunch of old farts, and I am still in the prime of my youth, you guys are taking advantage of me. This got my father and the others to drink a few more jars with you..."
Xiao Yi's eyes twitched: "..."
He hadn't expected that so many embarrassing things happened after he got drunk.
Huang Yuwei said, "By the way, President Shi came to look for you early in the morning, but since you weren't awake, I asked her to come back later. However, she didn't leave and has been waiting in the guest hall!"
"Oh? Just her alone?" Xiao Yi asked.
Huang Yuwei replied, "There's also Deputy President Lin and Lin Bo!"
"Heh..."
Xiao Yi continued drinking his porridge, not even lifting his head, and said with a smile, "It seems she's a bit anxious. Let her wait a little longer, I'll see her later!"
"Mhm!"
Huang Yuwei sat across from Xiao Yi, resting her chin on her hands and quietly watched him.
......
In the guest hall.
Shi Feiya was meditating with her eyes closed, while Lin Yuejin, who was beside her, shook his leg impatiently, picking up and setting down his cup repeatedly, glancing toward the door now and then, but no one was coming.
Lin Yuejin glared at Lin Bo, who was kneeling before him with a bruised face, and kicked him hard, "Dammit, kneel properly!"
Lin Bo looked aggrieved: "..."
Conscience of heaven and earth!
He had been kneeling here since this morning without daring to frown!
And you just keep kicking me now and then.
Is that really necessary?
"Enough!"
Shi Feiya could not help but intervene.
Lin Yuejin, dissatisfied, said: "President, I think that Xiao Yi is doing this on purpose, just leaving us hanging..."
Shi Feiya helplessly said, "Even if we know he is deliberately letting us wait, what can we do? It used to be him seeking us, but now it is us who are seeking him..."
The wheel of fortune turns, she just did not expect it to turn this quickly.
"President Shi, Deputy President Lin, I'm terribly sorry for drinking too much last night and making you wait," Xiao Yi's voice came from outside the door as he walked in cheerfully, yet he did not glance at Lin Bo from beginning to end.
Shi Feiya and her companion quickly stood up, "Deputy City Master Xiao, you shouldn't say that! We've only waited a moment!"
Xiao Yi chuckled to himself.
They had arrived early in the morning, and now it was almost lunchtime.

A moment?
Xiao Yi rubbed his head, "Drinking is indeed harmful. The City Master still hasn't woken up!"
"We too didn't know that Deputy City Master Xiao had too much to drink. We should have come later to bother you... truly..." Shi Feiya began to say, hoping to lead into the main topic.
But Xiao Yi pretended as if he hadn't caught on.
He looked at Lin Bo with feigned surprise, "Isn't that Lin, Young Master Lin Bo? What are you doing kneeling here?"
Shi Feiya's eyes twitched.
Lin Yuejin responded stiffly, "Deputy City Master Xiao, my son lacks manners and caused trouble with Sha Ying, offending you and Princess Yuwei. I have specifically brought him here to apologise." He looked at Lin Bo, "Rebellious child, aren't you going to apologize to Deputy City Master Xiao?"
Lin Bo knelt on the ground, moving in front of Xiao Yi, "Vice City Lord Xiao, it was all my fault before, please forgive me!"
"Hehe, I dare not assume such a role!" Xiao Yi said with a composed expression.
Lin Yuejin slapped him hard on the head, angrily saying, "Is this the attitude you apologize with?"
Lin Bo's fists were clenched tightly, his teeth grinding audibly.
What humiliation!
When had Lin, as the young master, ever been subjected to such an insult?
However…
When he thought about how the powerful Sha Family had already been wiped out.
He could only submit.
Bang bang bang!
Lin Bo's head hit the ground, striking it repeatedly, his face earnest as he said, "Vice City Lord Xiao, I, Lin Bo, was blind and offended both you and Princess Yuwei. Please forgive me this time!"
At this moment, Lin Bo was nothing like his arrogant and domineering self at the Dragon Phoenix Tower.
The circumstances were stronger than the person!
Even his father had to tread lightly in front of Xiao Yi, what ground did he have to be arrogant and haughty?
Xiao Yi indifferently said, "Get up."
Lin Bo was stunned.
He had thought Xiao Yi would continue to humiliate him, but he was actually letting him stand up?
Yet Lin Bo didn't dare to move, cautiously looking towards Lin Yuejin.
Lin Yuejin said, "Vice City Lord Xiao told you to get up. Why are you still kneeling? Haven't you thanked Vice City Lord Xiao for sparing your life?"
"Many thanks for the great kindness and mercy of Vice City Lord Xiao!" Lin Bo quickly stated.
Xiao Yi waved his hand, and then turned to Shi Feiya saying, "President Shi, regarding the cooperation we talked about before…"
"Vice City Lord Xiao, my visit today is indeed for this matter. After our discussion, we felt that the previous contract was too unfair to you, so we have redrafted the contract."
Lin Yuejin presented the redrafted contract, and Shi Feiya continued, "Over the next ten years, the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide the Xiaoshanhe Institute with medicinal materials at no cost. You'll get forty percent of the profits from the slave market, and at the same time, the Slave Battlefield will cooperate fully with the Xiaoshanhe Institute."
Full cooperation mentioned here was clearly stipulated in the contract.
Should disciples from the Xiaoshanhe Institute come to the Beast Emperor City, the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce would bear all expenses, and victory rewards in the Slave Battlefield were guaranteed. For example, there were different rewards for ten victories, twenty victories, and so on.
And the reward standards were quite high!
Xiao Yi briefly looked over the contract; it was definitely full of sincerity!
Xiao Yi, narrowing his eyes, asked, "What about the restrictions?"
"There are no restrictions!"
Shi Feiya hurriedly said.
The contract involved a tremendous sacrifice from the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce, foregoing billions of silver annually. However, in exchange, they would have Xiao Yi as their powerful backer.
The slave market would be entirely in the hands of the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce.
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Yi said, "The terms of the contract are mostly fine, even that forty percent profit—I will take just twenty percent. But you must agree to one condition from me!"
"Hmm?"
Shi Feiya and Lin Yuejin looked at each other, surprised that Xiao Yi voluntarily proposed to lower his share of the profits; both said, "What condition?"
Xiao Yi said solemnly, "The targets for capturing slaves in the slave market need to change, prioritizing those who are extremely vicious and felons caught on battlefields, among others."
He vividly remembered Along's tribe, which lived on an isolated island in the Beast Emperor Sea.
Living peaceably and without conflict.
It was because of the Tan Family's slave captures that their whole tribe was uprooted.
He couldn't change the world, but at least within his capacity, he could make it better!
Xiao Yi added, "I will help you liaise with the royal family of the Great Qian Dynasty!"
The royal family had a substantial number of war criminals and extremely vicious felons.
As slaves, they were most suitable!
They looked at each other.
Shi Feiya nodded and said, "No problem!"
With the new term added to the contract, in duplicate, Xiao Yi smiled, "Pleased to cooperate!"
"Pleased to cooperate!"
Shi Feiya smiled as she took the contract, then said, "Vice Institute Head Xiao, the medicinal materials will be ready by tomorrow. Also, our people have already taken over the slave market. There are quite a few outstanding slaves there; would you be interested in taking a look?"
Xiao Yi was taken aback, arching an eyebrow and responding, "Good, let's take a look!"
