Upstairs.

The teacher from Capital Metropolitan heard the commotion involving Scarlett Jennings and Violet Allen downstairs and deliberately looked at the teachers from Sea City and North City,

"People from the Mystical Sect should know that scaring ordinary people isn't very nice."

Sun, the teacher from Sea City, raised an eyebrow,

"Where's the scare? Taking a step back, if that kid keeps talking, he might actually attract a ghost."

Throwing a glass of wine at him to stop him from doing something stupid, isn't that considered preemptive ghost expelling?

The teacher from North City added,

"Violet is indeed from Life Impermanence, so it's not a lie."

As for scaring the other side into thinking she could draw a living soul, she didn't actually do it, just mentioned it, which isn't a big deal.

What's wrong with young people bragging a little?

Both teachers felt there was no problem, so there was no problem with them.

...

Downstairs, Violet Allen only looked at Scarlett Jennings with bright eyes after seeing the Carew family of three off.

If it wasn't for her just now, she would have been unable to resist taking action!

"Scarlett, have you really not considered coming to North City College? I just adore you!"

This time Scarlett Jennings rejected without hesitation,

"I'm not going."

Violet Allen immediately looked a bit regretful, "Alright, then I'll think of a way to transfer to Sea City instead."

Leaving North City, she could even escape her parents urging her to get married.

Violet suddenly thought that seemed like a good idea.

Over there, after sending off the Carew family's three members, her parents returned and thanked Scarlett with a smile before turning to Violet,

"We didn't expect that Carew boy to be like this, we must have misjudged him this time, but that's okay, the Houghton boy tomorrow will definitely be a good one."

Violet originally thought she could be relieved after this incident, but she didn't expect her parents would still not let her go, and immediately wailed,

"Mom, Dad! You both just saw, there's no good one, please stop thinking about finding someone for me, don't say I'm still young now, even if I'm thirty or forty, I don't have to get married!"

Violet sometimes really couldn't understand her parents' mindset, she was fine alone, why force her to get married?

A girl doesn't have to be married to be complete, her goal was to become the top sales in the Underworld!

In front of Scarlett, her mother couldn't really scold her too harshly, just lightly chided,

"Nonsense! If a girl doesn't marry when she's old, there won't be a single light on for her among the thousands of home lights."

Violet laughed at this,

"I just won't get married, it's not like I'm not paying the electricity bill."

If she wanted, she could even put out all the lights in a thousand homes.

Mother: ...

Not wanting to discuss her marriage in front of Scarlett, Violet quickly took her back upstairs, remembering the gossip she'd heard about Scarlett having a fiancé, and couldn't help but ask,

"You're even younger than me, how come you're engaged so young, is it also because of family pressure?"

Scarlett was taken aback by the question, then shook her head,

"They never forced me."

Even when her master gave her and Samuel Chalmers the Peach Wood Mark, it wasn't really forced upon her.

This fiancé, to be precise, was appointed by herself.

A fake engagement at first, but now...

Recalling what Samuel had just said, Scarlett was no longer sure.

In her mind, her mother's recent remark about the thousands of lights on flashed again.

If Samuel was her light.

Among the thousands of lights, he should be the brightest one.

That prospect didn't seem too bad either?

...

When Scarlett returned upstairs, she wasn't bombarded with invitations like before, it seemed everyone had come to a new consensus.

Donovan Jennings also heard about what happened downstairs, but since Scarlett managed it all, he didn't need to step out.

"Must be pride for Mr. Jiang to have such a talented Master in the family, right?"

This was said by Colton Yates from the Scarlet Gate Yates family, who was also one of Donovan's main targets this visit.

"Scarlett is indeed our family's pride."

When Donovan said this, there was unabashed gentleness and pride in his tone, but quickly shifted the topic,

"Though her excellence means there's very little the family can help her with, after all, many times businessmen can't meddle in Mystical Sect affairs.

That's why I want to cooperate with the Yates family."

Colton laughed heartily at this,

"Mr. Jiang is a straightforward person, I won't hide it from you, I am indeed interested in the Celestial Mist No. 5 you mentioned, although this product has not been out for long, it has already caused quite a stir in the market.

However, we at Vermilion Hall have never sold products using demon energy before; if we are to cooperate, we must consult the Demon Master behind it for research."

Not to mention using demon energy in talismans, even the method Scarlett previously used to integrate demon energy into talismans, several college teachers have not been able to replicate yet.

After all, this is something from a completely different domain.

In the past, the Mystical Sect and demons were adversaries, only in the past century have relations eased, and the establishment of the Mystic Regulation Office provided a standard for harmonious coexistence between Masters and demons.

However, if they could make further breakthroughs, the Yates family wouldn't mind being the pioneers of this innovation within the Mystical Sect.

By the time Scarlett arrived, Donovan and Colton had basically settled the intention of cooperation.

Hearing that Donovan was going to collaborate with their Celestial Mist No. 5, Scarlett was a bit surprised,

"Does Chase know about this?"

Donovan smiled, "He'll know when we return."

The implied meaning being he doesn't know yet.

Donovan has long been aware of Chase's collaboration with Braxton Weaver on that online store.

Chase was secretly working on it, hoping to amaze his family once it gained fame, and Donovan was curious to see what achievements he could accomplish.

However, since its launch, although it's gained some buzz online, it remains largely an internet celebrity product in the public eye.

If it continues on this trajectory, in the end, Chase might only manage to create a fairly successful online store.

Such results, let alone Chase being dissatisfied, Donovan too wouldn't be impressed.

Especially when the product clearly has more development potential, yet Chase was only focusing on packaging and gimmicky sells.

Just like the recently launched snail noodle-flavored Celestial Mist No. 5.

To which Donovan could hardly stand idly by.

Instead of letting him continue to struggle, Donovan thought it was better to open another path, which would also help the Jennings family pave a way in the Mystical Sect.

With the Yates' name out front, the Celestial Mist line could easily pursue a more formal and high-end route.

Donovan wasn't worried about Chase refusing.

Because, although he intervened, he had no intention of taking over, once he and the Yates family finalize the cooperation, the following processes would still be fully entrusted to Chase.

Just like when Scarlett initially enlisted him to assist Braxton Weaver,

Natural labor, should not be wasted.

And from what he's observed these days, Chase has been doing quite well.

Donovan, however, felt that he could do even better.

...

At this moment, far off in another part of Sea City, Chase Jennings had no idea of the arrangements being made for him.

After just being clobbered by Braxton Weaver, seeing people actually purchasing the snail noodle-flavored Celestial Mist No. 5, he felt the world truly was fantastical.

As for Braxton, watching the sales numbers continuously rising in the background, they proudly said,

"See, I told you the snail noodle flavor would definitely be popular, and you still insisted on contradicting me! Just listen to the rat in the future, you won't go wrong!"

Chase: ...

No, he wasn't convinced.
