Xiao Jianghu chuckled. "You mean … Leader Yun pointing out my identity is a reminder to us?"
"Yes. If he didn't point it out after seeing through it, we'd suspect his ulterior motives."
Lang Fantian said frankly, "Now that he's seen through it and said it on the spot, it's equivalent to giving us information and his attitude. This child has always been steady, neither humble nor arrogant. His actions are well-grounded, there's no need for him to show off. "
"That's true," Xiao Jianghu said after some thought.
Lang Fantian said, "As for his attitude just now, from what I can see, it's reasonable as well … We've cooperated a few times and the transactions are huge. On the surface, Yun Yang's side has the upper hand, but in reality, more than eighty percent of the benefits he's obtained are given to the Spirit's Grave to obtain the most valuable treasures. The General Commerce League, on the other hand, is the one who can easily obtain the best treasures."
Lang Fantian concluded, "Therefore, I think that such a collaboration is only beneficial to us. It can go on for a long time, and to do so, one of the prerequisites is to build a good relationship with Yun Yang. We mustn't trigger his resentment because of a momentary loss. Like this time, consecutive transactions within a short period of time are taboo for Yun Yang. We need to express our sincerity to make up for it later. "
Xiao Jianghu's gaze was thoughtful. After a long moment of thought, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "The spiritual Qi density of the Residence of Nine Supremes right now … I'm afraid it's not much weaker than the General Commerce League's headquarters, is it?"
Lang Fantian was taken aback and answered after a pause, "Yes."
"Fantian, haven't you realized the difference? The reason our league headquarters has such a spiritual atmosphere is mainly because of the middle-class Celestial Luck Banner, but the Residence of Nine Supremes doesn't even have a lower-class Celestial Luck Banner now! "
Xiao Jianghu said in a low voice, "If the Residence of Nine Supremes obtains the Celestial Luck Banner, the spiritual atmosphere within the mountain base of the Residence of Nine Supremes will definitely increase tremendously. It can at least be on par with the General Commerce League's headquarters. Does anyone here doubt this?"
"Indeed, there's no doubt about it."
"But here's the problem. Even if the Residence of Nine Supremes possesses a spiritual atmosphere equivalent to that of a middle-class Celestial Luck Banner after obtaining a lower-class Celestial Luck Banner, don't you think the commotion in front of us is a little ridiculous?"
Xiao Jianghu's thick brows knitted together. "I can basically say that as long as there aren't any major changes, the Residence of Nine Supremes will rise in the future and become a formidable foe to any sect in the Bound of Universe. The threat is huge … "
His words were filled with emotion.
Lang Fantian kept quiet for a moment before he spoke, "I think the Chief is worrying too much."
Xiao Jianghu tilted his head. "Oh?"
Lang Fantian thought about it and spoke from the bottom of his heart, "I have something to say that's stuck in my throat."
Lang Fanyun's way of addressing himself changed again and again. At this moment, he no longer addressed himself by his real name, nor did he address himself as' this seat 'or' subordinate '. Instead, he suddenly changed the way he addressed Lang Fanyun to' little brother 'during the conversation. This meant that the current conversation between the two parties had turned into a conversation between brothers.
"Speak," said Xiao Jianghu.
Lang Fantian coughed and cleared his throat before he said, "I think that big brother's current thinking is too utilitarian and has already deviated from the league's initial purpose of founding."
Xiao Jianghu kept quiet for a moment, only looking at him without saying anything.
"The league's initial purpose of founding is to convey its name and ambition. The General Commerce League is both the league's name and the league's ambition. Although there's the grand idea of accepting merchants into the league, it's still mainly about business."
Lang Fantian continued, "It's the word 'business' that determines the league's essence. The Bound of Universe is obviously inseparable from the business world. "
"Based on this principle, the league has developed rapidly, especially after going through the extreme hardships of starting a business. It's almost smooth sailing."
"The premise that we're the Commerce League has allowed us to have no fundamental conflict with other sects, aristocratic families, and sects. Since there's no fundamental conflict, they won't see us as a threat that must be eliminated. That's why we've come so smoothly until now."
"Even if we successfully ascend to the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner this time, the Commerce League will still be the same to us. At most, we'll have more protection and fewer people will dare to covet it, but it won't change the league's own principle."
"This is the only way we can ensure the league's continued existence."
"Perhaps the Residence of Nine Supremes will soar to the nine heavens in the future, perhaps it'll dominate the martial world … To the other sects and forces, it may be a threat or even an enemy that can't coexist, but to the league, it won't cause too much damage."
"We can even complement each other's strengths with the Residence of Nine Supremes and work more closely together. As the saying goes, a small clue can reveal a big picture. Based on the current situation, our cooperation with the Residence of Nine Supremes is already constantly increasing the commerce league's strength."
"In summary, this young brother thinks that the Residence of Nine Supremes is not a threat to us."
He had stated his meaning clearly, but he still came up with such a conclusion, making others feel that there was more to his words or that he had not finished. Finally, after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "In addition, this young brother thinks that there's a limit to the league's development."
"We, on the other hand, can't go beyond this limit. Once we go beyond the limit, beyond the limits of this framework, we'll be faced with a calamity. But if we restrain ourselves, we might be able to continue existing for thousands of years. Just like counting nine to five, the dragon soars in the sky, it is the supreme form. But counting nine to nine, the dragon will have regrets, it will decline from its peak. What we need to be is the dragon soars in the sky, not the dragon will have regrets. "
Lang Fantian finished his long speech in one breath, sweat already beading on his face.
Many of the dozen people who were listening by the side were sweating as well.
Lang Fantian was truly bold, to be so blunt with his words. It was truly a taboo …
Xiao Jianghu had been listening with a dark expression, not speaking for a long time. After some time, he finally asked, "If that's the case, then … where do you think the General Commerce League's limit is?"
Lang Fantian mustered up his courage and finally spoke, "Above the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner and below the Gold Class Celestial Luck Banner … There are many who have attained the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner, and this is where our development reaches its limit. If we go beyond that, not only will we draw the attention of many supreme sects, but we'll also be feared by the palace level. The end of the world will come, and there won't be many days left. "
Xiao Jianghu hung his head, falling silent once more.
