Yao Bailing glanced at him and said indifferently, "What do you think?"
The reporting disciple said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "My words carry little weight and I dare not speak carelessly. I can only pass on the Sect Master's words. The Sect Master said that you have two choices. First, immediately restore the pill to its original price and let bygones be bygones. Second, if you are unwilling, immediately scram."
"Impudent!" Yao Bailing wasn't angry, but he was still imposing.
The disciple's expression was calm, "Shopkeeper Yao, what's the point of being angry at a disciple like me? I'm just repeating the Sect Leader's words. Shopkeeper Yao, please make your own choice."
Yao Bailing was furious and said, "Could it be that your sect master has no foresight? I'm here to help you deal with the Human Devil. "
The disciple did not say a word and quietly waited for Yao Bailing's reply.
The Yin Yang Elder who had been bullied was secretly gloating. In the end, the Sect Master was still the best. He had been so arrogant and dignified, but in the end, he didn't even have the right to see the Sect Master.
How ironic.
Now that he understood the Sect Master's attitude towards him, Elder Yin and Yang was filled with confidence. He put on a fake smile and said, "Manager Medicine, our Tai Chi Sect's guest hall doesn't lack tea. Take your time to think about it. I guarantee you'll drink your fill."
Hearing Zhen Zhen's mockery, Yao Bailing became even more furious.
It was a plan that was almost in the bag, but before he could say a word, he was ordered to scram.
To think that he had acted mysterious in front of his colleagues, acting as if he had a card up his sleeve.
Now, he didn't know how to explain it when he went back.
"Humph! Don't be too pleased with yourself. This is just the beginning. I don't believe that your Tai Chi Sect can last until the end! "Yao Bailing felt deflated. She swung her sleeves and left.
Elder Yin Yang said eccentrically, "Manager Medicine, I won't see you out, I won't see you out!"
Seeing Yao Bailing leave, the Yin Yang Elder wiped away the smile on his face and revealed a look of hatred and disdain. "Ptui, who do you think you are!"
Under the propaganda of the Tai Chi Sect, everyone from the disciples to Elder Tian had a fundamental understanding of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
His disgust for them was not just a little.
However, just as Yao Bailing had said, it was still unknown whether the Tai Chi Sect would be able to last until the end.
Another five days passed.
When the upper echelons of the Taiji Sect met, the atmosphere was much more pessimistic than five days ago.
"There is less than half of the inventory left, and less than 20% of the prices in the market have returned to normal. 80% of the prices are still high. Many shops would rather close temporarily than lower their prices."
Hearing the conclusion, the group of Earth Elders was deeply worried.
The invisible confrontation had been going on for a full ten days, but the prices in the market showed no signs of dropping.
The new batch of daily necessities would need at least twenty days to enter the market and impact the current market price.
Now, the danger was apparent.
"What's the report from the people you sent out?" Su Yu asked calmly.
Apart from the group of people that Su Yu had secretly contacted, he had also sent a large number of Yin-Yang Elders and tens of thousands of disciples to the nearby civilizations to purchase daily necessities.
Due to time constraints, they were destined to not be able to travel to civilizations that were too far away. They could only search nearby.
"Clan Leader, according to the information we received, less than 10% of the people found anything, and they were all found in the desolate areas that have yet to reach the level of a Star Civilization. In total, it's less than what the Taiji civilization consumes in a day."
A day's consumption was a drop in the bucket.
"As for the other people, the daily necessities of the civilizations they went to were secretly purchased by the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce as early as a year ago. They are still purchasing them at a high price. Basically, they have snatched all the new resources that enter the market."
In other words, the majority of the people had gained nothing.
Everyone's hearts sank slowly.
"We can only hold on for another ten days at most. After ten days, the entire treasury of the Taiji Faction will be used up. By then, if we can't suppress the prices in the market, I'm afraid the daily consumption of the Taiji Faction won't be enough," the old woman Elder said in a low voice.
Right now, they were at a critical juncture.
If they didn't take action now, the Taiji Faction would fall into a dilemma.
At that time, the faction would be full of complaints and doubts about the ability of Su Yu, the new Clan Leader.
Before the Taiji civilization could fall into chaos and decline, the Taiji Faction would fall apart first.
After a moment of silence, the old woman said, "Why don't we use our strength to forcibly seize the resources of the big shots of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce?"
Su Yu didn't speak. The Taiji civilization was too peaceful. Even Elder Tian could say such things.
He asked, "If we use force, won't the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce? Based on my understanding of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce, there will be a strong man overseeing the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce in every region. If he takes action, who will deal with him? "
"This …" The old woman fell into deep thought again.
Mo Xiaochai was also gradually losing her patience because of her anxiety. She said, "What should we do? Do we just watch the situation get more and more dangerous? "
Some of the elders also began to doubt Su Yu's initial decision. Although they would slowly decline without doing anything, it was better than causing internal chaos.
Most importantly, the external help that the Clan Leader had mentioned had yet to be found!
Su Yu said calmly, "Let the people who are sent out continue to search for resources further away. On the other hand, try to contact the merchants you are familiar with and ask for their help. If this matter is resolved, you will pay them back double."
The former did not hold out much hope.
The latter still had the possibility of trying.
They were all high-ranking members of the Taiji Faction, and there were many merchants who tried to curry favor with them.
At this moment, the Taiji Faction was in need. If they were asked to take out their private stash to alleviate the current crisis, they might agree.
After all, the Clan Leader had personally promised that they would pay them back double after the matter was resolved.
Any shrewd merchant would choose to take the risk if they could double their profits in a short period of time.
"I will act now. I will also contact the merchants I am familiar with." Su Yu thought for a moment, then secretly left the Taiji Faction and went to the Genuine Jade Store.
Boss Peng of the Genuine Jade Store was one of the few big bosses in the Taiji Faction. He had been in business for many years and had a high net worth.
The amount of resources he controlled was already an astronomical figure.
If he was willing to help them, he would be able to alleviate the shortage of resources.
"Who are you looking for?" The Genuine Jade Store was now overcrowded. As one of the few stores that obeyed the edict of the Taiji Faction and voluntarily restored the normal prices, the waitresses were a little busy.
Su Yu pulled on his bamboo hat and said, "Is Boss Peng here?"
The waitress looked at Su Yu suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?"
Su Yu said calmly, "A friend of Boss Peng."
After a moment of silence, the waitress said, "Then please wait for a moment. Boss Peng has been very busy lately. Many bosses have come to see him."
Nowadays, the prices of goods in the Taiji Civilization were abnormal, and people were anxious. It was normal for bosses to visit each other.
Suddenly, Boss Peng walked out of the guest hall of the inner yard with a group of people.
Su Yu glanced at them casually and frowned slightly.
Those people were all famous businessmen of the Taiji Civilization. Su Yu even knew one of them.
It was Yao Bailing's right-hand shopkeeper, Li Weitong.
Li Weitong's face was full of arrogance as he was politely sent off by Boss Peng.
Watching them leave, Boss Peng let out a long sigh.
As he was about to go back, the waitress said respectfully, "Boss Peng, this person said he is your friend and wants to see you."
Boss Peng turned to look at Su Yu, who had his face covered by the bamboo hat, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Su Yu said nothing, and the Faction Master's token flashed across his palm.
Boss Peng's pupils shrank as he said, "Faction …"
"Boss Peng, you have a short memory. You even forgot about me," Su Yu interrupted him in time.
Boss Peng understood and patted his head. "Oh, it's you, Boss Zong. Look at my poor memory. Please come in."
The two of them entered the backyard. The waitress at the front desk stared at them and quietly crushed a communication jade pendant.
Inside the secret chamber, Boss Peng turned around and immediately knelt down on one knee. "Greetings, Faction Master!"
Su Yu waved his hand and sat down casually. "You don't have to be so formal with me."
Boss Peng stood up but did not dare to sit down.
Staring at Su Yu, who had taken off his bamboo hat, he felt that everything was unreal.
The owner of the wine shop in the past had now become the Faction Master of the Tai Chi Faction.
"Welcome, Faction Master. May I ask if you have any advice for me?"
Su Yu shook his head. "I can't say that I have any advice for you. I'm sure you have some guesses as to why I am here."
Boss Peng looked troubled. He sighed bitterly and did not say a word.
"Boss Peng, please feel free to speak your mind. I, Su, am not an unreasonable person."
Boss Peng said, "Who was the person who left just now? Do you know him?"
"Yes, he is one of Yao Bailing's people," Su Yu said. "So, your trouble is with them?"
Boss Peng said helplessly, "Yes! Li Weitong was ordered by Yao Bailing to ask me to do two things. First, immediately raise the price of goods to a high level. Second, I am not allowed to secretly provide daily necessities to the Tai Chi Faction. "
"So? You agreed? "Su Yu stared at him calmly.
Boss Peng smiled bitterly. "I'm sure Faction Master knows about Yao Bailing's background. The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce! I am just a small businessman. Many of my sources of goods cannot bypass the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce. If you don't agree, my career as a businessman will be over. "
Hearing this, Su Yu was calm, without the slightest hint of anger.
Businessmen valued profit over justice. No matter how good their relationship was, they would still choose profit over justice in times of crisis.
Moreover, he had only met Boss Peng once. Why would he force him?
"I have been rude. Farewell." Su Yu put on his bamboo hat and strode away without any hesitation.
Boss Peng chased after him and said, "Faction Master, please understand my difficulties. If it were possible, I would never agree."
"I understand," Su Yu said calmly.
He could understand Boss Peng's difficulties, but if he could get over this, he would ask Boss Peng to understand his actions in the future.
He would not deliberately hate Boss Peng, but he would not forgive him either.
After returning to the Tai Chi Faction empty-handed, the elders who had asked for help from the bosses they were familiar with also returned.
Looking at their faces, Su Yu already had an answer in his heart.
The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce had not only searched the True Jade Store, but many other shops as well.
He would make up for it tomorrow.
