"The Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce retreated?"
"What exactly is going on?" Li Yunxiao was shocked.
Ji Zhengde responded, "I'm not too sure either. If you want to know the details, you'll have to ask President Jinxuan. I didn't expect her to show up at the wedding. "
Li Yunxiao responded, "Since she's in Yongxiang City, she'll have to show some respect for the governor's daughter's marriage."
Ji Zhengde responded, "That's true, but it's not easy to meet President Jinxuan. She's so young, beautiful, powerful, and wealthy. She's a goddess in thousands of men's hearts. If you'd like to consult her, this might be a good opportunity. It'll be difficult to see her after the wedding. "
"I understand," Li Yunxiao responded.
Even so, he remained unmoved as he stood behind Ji Zhengde without saying a word. He was like the most ordinary person as well as a pebble on the roadside.
"Miss Jinxuan, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you look so worried? I feel sorry for you."
A handsome man with a smile on his face had unknowingly appeared in front of Jin Xuan.
The man's features were distinct as if they were carved by a knife. He had a domineering look on his face, and he wore a green herb robe. He looked confident and poised.
"Those who know me say that I'm worried; those who don't know me say that I'm seeking something."
The man recited a poem leisurely and waved a paper fan in his hand. He smiled elegantly and asked, "I wonder if I'm qualified to smooth the wrinkles between your brows for you, Miss Jinxuan?"
Jinxuan did not look good. She forced a smile when she saw the man. "Oh, it's the Company Commander."
The man chuckled. "What's making the beautiful Miss Jinxuan frown? I feel sorry for you."
Jinxuan responded sternly, "You must be joking, Sir. The Chamber of Commerce has been too chaotic recently, so I can't handle it. "
"Oh? Is it only about the Chamber of Commerce? "
The Company Commander kept his paper fan and smiled. "I'm quite knowledgeable about the Chamber of Commerce's operations. Why don't we discuss it?"
His two subordinates immediately moved a jade stool over and placed it next to Jinxuan. He sat down without hesitation.
Jin Xuan's expression changed. She stood up and pointed to the front. "Company Commander, your seat is over there."
The captain chuckled. "I'm not used to sitting alone. I wonder if I can invite Miss Jinxuan to drink with me? We can also talk about the Chamber of Commerce. I believe that with my ability, it is enough to solve all of Miss Jinxuan's headaches. "
Jin Xuan said, "My biggest headache right now is the Company Commander, please sit back down."
A servant behind the company commander angrily said, "Miss Jinxuan, our young master is the eldest young master of the Lian Family. With his status and background, can't he have a drink with you? Isn't Miss thinking too highly of herself? "
The other servant also said coldly, "Hmph, Miss, you should consider the consequences of offending our Young Master!"
The company commander's expression changed, and he rebuked angrily, "What nonsense are you two slaves spouting! Although this Young Master's family background is great and I have great power, I have never used my status to oppress others! What's more, Jin Xuan was such a peerless beauty. How could he be rude! You two dogs of a slave, hurry up and apologize, then get out and face the wall! "
"Yes, yes!"
The two of them hurriedly apologized to Jin Xuan. They even slapped themselves while blaming themselves for being talkative and begging for forgiveness.
The company commander said, "Miss Jinxuan, the servants don't know how to speak. If we have offended you, it is up to you to beat or kill us."
When the two of them heard that, they immediately knelt down in fright and desperately kowtowed to beg for mercy.
A wave of powerlessness surged in Jin Xuan's heart. She waved her hand and said, "Get up, all of you. Hurry up and return to your seats. The banquet is about to begin. Everyone is looking sideways. It is a bit unsightly."
The company commander chuckled. "Miss Jinxuan is right."
He sneered in his heart. His goal was to let everyone know that Jin Xuan belonged to him, the company commander. Whoever dared to have any thoughts about her would have to bear the wrath of the Lian Family.
As expected, the young masters who were fawning over Jin Xuan earlier all had ugly expressions on their faces.
The company commander sneered and said, "You two dogs of a slave, hurry up and help me move the jade stool back!"
"Yes, yes!"
The two of them trembled and hurriedly carried the jade stool to the seat of honor.
The company commander's seat was extremely close to the front, and he was only below the main seat. It was evident that his status was exceptionally honorable.
Xuan Hua patted Li Yunxiao and laughed strangely. "Your rival in love?"
Li Yunxiao's face darkened. "You're the rival in love, your whole family is a rival in love!"
Ji Zhengde's face changed. He covered his mouth with his hand and said secretly, "Sirs, you must be careful. Don't provoke the company commander. His identity and background are frighteningly powerful, and you might be killed and your family exterminated if you're not careful."
Li Yunxiao turned a deaf ear to him and did not take it to heart at all.
Xuan Hua laughed strangely. "Oh? May I know where this person came from? Tell me so that I can be careful so that he won't chase me all the way to his lair if I offend him unintentionally. "
Ning Kewei answered plainly, "Since his surname is Lian, I suppose he's from the Lian Family of the Three Eastern Cities."
"That's right!"
Ji Zhengde said with a grave expression, "The Lian Family is extremely influential in the Eastern Territory, and they directly occupy the resources of three main cities. Moreover, they have a wide network of friends, and their influence can be said to be spread all over the Eastern Territory. Apart from the superpower, the Red Moon City, the Lian Family is definitely one of the few powerful aristocratic families!"
Ning Kewei added, "Indeed, apart from the Red Moon City, the Lian Family's strength is enough to rank in the top ten in the entire Eastern Territory."
Ji Zhengde glanced at Ning Kewei and said, "It seems like this sir has some understanding of the distribution of forces in the Eastern Territory. Although I know that all of you have extraordinary backgrounds, a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake. Many forces in Yongxiang City are clinging to the Lian Family."
Ning Kewei said, "As the Lian Family's eldest young master, this company commander can be considered a top-notch figure. As long as nothing happens, he'll be able to occupy a position in the Eastern Territory in the future. I hope he'll be lucky."
"Haha, I think it's unrealistic."
Xuan Hua chuckled. "His complexion looks terrible. His glabella is dark, and his face is ashen. He's most likely going to be in trouble."
Ji Zhengde was taken aback, and he quickly waved his hands. "Sir, please don't speak nonsense. There are crooks and honest folk mixed in here, and there are many eyes and ears here. If Young Master Lian hears about this, it'll be a huge problem. Even the Star Moon House can't afford to offend a local snake like him."
He was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Ning Kewei chuckled. "Sir Xuan Hua, don't scare him."
Ji Zhengde nodded as if he was afraid. He suddenly felt that the name Xuan Hua was rather familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before.
"Not only does Young Master Lian have a shocking background, but he's also extremely talented. He cultivates both skill and martial arts, and his technique and martial arts master have a great background too."
Ji Zhengde seemed to be addicted to talking, so he simply revealed everything. "His technique master is the renowned Master Hongyang in the Eastern Territory. Master Hongyang has been an Eight Star Peak Technique Master for a long time, and rumor has it that he recently broke through to Rank Nine. I don't know if it's true, but I think it's most likely true. "
Ning Kewei said, "I've heard of Hongyang too, but how did you know that he really broke through to Rank Nine?"
After all, any Rank Nine Technique Refinement Master was an all-powerful being. Even peerless powerhouses like them had to be polite to them.
Ji Zhengde explained, "Because Master Hongyang's master is a renowned and respected Allheaven Technique Refinement Master. Based on the Allheaven Technique Refinement Master's ability, it shouldn't be difficult for him to help his disciple break through to Rank Nine. "
Everyone was stunned. They turned to look at Luo Tian, and even the Red Moon City's Three Elders opened their eyes.
Luo Tian broke out in a cold sweat and said embarrassedly, "Hongyang has indeed broken through to Rank Nine not long before I went to Red Moon City. Your analysis isn't reliable, but the result is correct. But … I really don't know if he has such a disciple … "
Ji Zhengde was startled, then he exclaimed, "I knew it! A Rank Eight Technique Refinement Master is also an influential figure, but compared to a Rank Nine Technique Refinement Master, they're on a completely different level. This Company Commander's background is even more powerful now, so please don't provoke him no matter what. "
The fact that he used the word "no" twice showed how fearful he was.
Luo Tian sensed the people's strange gazes, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He took out a white silk handkerchief and kept wiping his sweat.
Chu Mujie chuckled and asked, "Who's that young fella's Martial Dao Master? He should be a powerhouse of the current era, right? "
Ji Zhengde replied, "Young Master Company Commander's Martial Dao Master is Sir Fu Yichun, one of the Red Moon City's Conference Elders. Not only is he extremely prestigious, but he's also an Emperor Jiuxing powerhouse, and he's famous!"
The Three Elders' faces twitched uncontrollably, and they seemed to have cold sweat on their foreheads.
Ning Kewei said, "Although Fu Yichun's a little rotten, he's still a good person."
"Ah!"
Ji Zhengde gasped out of fear. He was appalled. "Please don't speak nonsense. Sirs, I don't want to be killed by you!"
He was so frightened that he almost cried, and he sensed all kinds of gazes from all directions.
If the Star Moon House Commander heard the disgraceful words, perhaps the Star Moon House's branch would not be able to operate anymore.
Ning Keyun found it funny when he saw Ji Zhengde trembling in fear, but he comforted him, "Don't worry, we won't talk about it anymore."
"That's great, that's great!"
Ji Zhengde immediately shut his mouth and was determined not to say another word. He was afraid that they would speak irresponsibly again, which would cause a disaster.
Xuan Hua giggled and said to Li Yunxiao, "You're in trouble now. Your love rival has such a powerful background, you're dead for sure!"
Li Yunxiao's face darkened. "If you speak nonsense again, you'll really die today!"
"Hahaha!"
Xuan Hua could not help but laugh out loud. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but he quickly covered his mouth and snickered when he saw Li Yunxiao's cold eyes.
At that moment, the music in the hall suddenly changed into a high-pitched celebration. At the same time, deafening firecrackers were heard as though the wedding banquet had begun.
