After Wei Hongfu finished talking, he paused for a bit, wanting to see what reaction the two had.
Ding Ling 'er seemed to be somewhat absent-minded, as if she was still angry. While Li Yunxiao savored the fragrant tea as if he did not hear what he said, immediately making him feel awkward.
"Uh, cough cough! Oh, right, City Lord Yunxiao, the previous tower lord of the Myriad Treasure Tower in the Fire Crow Empire, Master Xu Zizhuo, made me pass a message to you, saying that he thanks you for providing the Lesser Yang Essence Yang Pill formula. "
"Previous tower lord?"
Li Yunxiao sipped a mouthful of tea and gently put down the teacup, saying, "Master Xu Zizhuo no longer holds a position?"
Wei Hongfu smiled and said, "After Master Xu Zizhuo went to the Divine Transformation Sea, he was fortunate enough to advance to a Tier 6 great alchemist under a fortuitous encounter. Currently, he is continuing to cultivate in the Divine Transformation Sea, so he no longer holds the position of Fire Crow Empire branch lord. "
Li Yunxiao said, "Then I wonder who is taking over? Could it be that Lord Wei personally holds the position? "
Wei Hongfu chuckled and said with a smile, "How can I do it? Although I'm the financial envoy in charge of the Southern Domain branch, I rarely stay here and am completely unfamiliar with the Fire Crow Empire's internal affairs. After Master Xu Zizhuo left, only Yin Zhaoyang and Gan Deming were left to slightly hold down the fort. Gan Deming's strength is a Four-star Martial Ancestor, stronger than Yin Zhaoyang. Furthermore, his personality is calm and composed. He's indeed the best candidate. But … "
He looked at Li Yunxiao meaningfully, revealed a hint of a smile, and said, "But I heard that Yin Zhaoyang and City Lord Yunxiao have a pretty good relationship. This … really makes things somewhat difficult for me."
Li Yunxiao secretly cursed sly old fox, his face still smiling brightly as he said, "This is the Myriad Treasure Tower's internal affairs. Yin Zhaoyang and I do have some personal relations, but does this matter?"
"Of course!"
Wei Hongfu said with a straight face, "Measuring a person's ability, apart from his own strength and attitude in handling things, connections are also an extremely crucial factor. If Yin Zhaoyang can have a good friend like City Lord Yunxiao, then there's absolutely no problem becoming the Fire Crow Empire branch lord! "
Ding Ling 'er also regained her composure. Her eyes shone brightly. Wei Hongfu's words clearly showed that he was doing Li Yunxiao a favor. From the looks of it, he would definitely need to ask Li Yunxiao for help, but he didn't know what it would be. If it were her, she definitely wouldn't agree to it immediately. It wouldn't be too late to make a decision after pushing it around.
How could Li Yunxiao not understand this logic? However, he laughed coldly in his heart. Not to mention promoting Yin Zhaoyang to a mere Tower Master, even if he promoted Yin Zhaoyang to be in charge of the Southern Mountain Range, he would not accept this favor. He immediately smiled ambiguously and said, "Elder Yin is indeed very strong."
Wei Hongfu was startled. Her words were so vague that he didn't know what to do. He had a puzzled look on his face. This kid was so young, how could he speak so maturely?
Ding Ling 'er also looked at Li Yunxiao in surprise with a smile in her eyes.
Li Yunxiao chuckled and said, "However, Elder Yin has indeed given me a lot of help."
"That's good!"
Wei Hongfu clapped and laughed loudly. "Looks like Yin Zhaoyang's intelligence and foresight are still better than Gan Deming's. This is extremely important for a branch Tower Master. In that case, I'll recognize him as the Fire Crow Empire's Tower Master. "
"Haha." Li Yunxiao chuckled and did not say anything. He continued to slowly taste his tea.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Wei Hongfu had a bitter look on his face. This kid in front of him would respond to whatever he said. He was completely like a sly old fox. Unable to get anything out of him, he could only go straight to the point. "City Lord Yunxiao, I heard that you handed over all the entry crystals to the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce to auction?"
"Hmm?"
Li Yunxiao frowned slightly and said, "Why? Is there something wrong? "
Ding Ling 'er also frowned. She seemed to understand something, and her expression darkened slightly.
Wei Hongfu rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "More than a thousand entry slots to Mount Meru. Hehe, this cake is a little big. Although the people participating in the auction are all from the Fire Crow Empire, I dare to guarantee that a large number of crystals will leak out. Not only the other two empires, but even the geniuses from the other three domains will come. "
He gently sipped his tea and stared at Ding Ling 'er's eyes. He said indifferently, "This auction will probably not only shake the entire Southern Domain, but also attract the attention of the super factions on the continent. Can Miss Ding handle this situation by herself? "
A trace of anger flashed across Ding Ling 'er's face. She snorted coldly and said, "I have also considered this question. However, the iron rules of the Holy Region and Divine Capital are there. The people from the other three domains can only do things in secret. How would they dare to do it openly? "
She proudly sneered and said, "Although my Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce is not as strong as before, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. How can a mere auction not be able to handle it? Lord Wei is looking down on my chamber of commerce too much! "
"Haha, Miss Ding, don't be agitated."
Wei Hongfu explained unhurriedly, saying, "I am not looking down on your chamber of commerce. It's just that your chamber of commerce's main forces are not in the Southern Domain. The forces in Miss Ding's hands are very limited. Even if you mobilize them now, it's already too late. If anything goes wrong at the auction, not only will Yunxiao City suffer great losses, but the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce which is already in a precarious situation will also suffer a huge blow. Furthermore, to the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce which is already in a precarious situation, it will similarly be an unbearable blow. At that time, the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce's weakness will be exposed to the eyes of all the factions. "
Ding Ling 'er's expression changed slightly. There was indeed some struggle in her eyes. This auction was undoubtedly a huge opportunity, a chance to once again display the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce's strength to all the factions. However, if it failed, the outcome was indeed something she could not bear.
When Li Yunxiao presented this auction opportunity to her, she was so happy that she almost fainted. However, a series of problems immediately arose in her mind. She immediately sent a message back to the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce's headquarters, requesting for experts to be sent as reinforcements. She was afraid that they would not be able to handle the situation when the time came.
However, as Wei Hongfu said, it was already too late now. Most likely, when the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce's experts arrived, the auction would already have started. Right now, the entire Yanwu City was temporarily sealed off by the enchantments laid down by the three major factions. Everyone was gathered in Shangyang City. There were crooks and honest folk mixed in everywhere. If not for encountering and being discovered by Wei Hongfu today, she would not even know that the Mando Trading Association's people already arrived too.
Thinking about it, perhaps the other merchant alliances would also send disciples over. At that time, they would be eager for their Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce to make a fool of themselves and might even obstruct it.
Thinking up to here, Ding Ling 'er had an even more worried look on her face.
Wei Hongfu saw through her worries and was secretly delighted in his heart. He immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "If Miss Ding hosts the auction together with our Myriad Treasure Tower this time, then it'll be very different. Not only will absolutely not have any problems occur, but it can also transmit a vague signal to the world, making the world think that the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce and our Myriad Treasure Tower have a certain level of tacit understanding. To your esteemed chamber of commerce, this is also a tremendous benefit. "
Ding Ling 'er's face was full of struggle, becoming hesitant in her heart. While cooperating with the Myriad Treasure Tower had many benefits, the drawbacks were tremendous too.
She could not make up her mind for a moment and looked at Li Yunxiao somewhat pleadingly, wanting to hear his opinion.
But thinking about it, she smiled slightly bitterly in her heart again. Li Yunxiao was merely a genius youth who was astoundingly brilliant on the Martial Dao. This kind of business matters, as well as the scheming and scheming between factions, how could he, a 15-year-old youth, know these? He immediately shook his head slightly.
When Li Yunxiao saw her struggling expression, he immediately smiled and said, "This is pretty good. Find a few more factions to cooperate together. It's more stable."
Ding Ling 'er smiled bitterly for a while and secretly thought to herself: Indeed, this silly boy only knows how to cultivate. How can things be so simple?
Wei Hongfu's face immediately beamed like a flower and said happily, "Haha, what City Lord Yunxiao said is right. Working together, both sides benefit; divided, both harm. Haha. "
Li Yunxiao also laughed a few sentences along. The smile on his face suddenly retracted, and he said calmly, "But cooperation is cooperation. The primary and secondary still have to be made clear. The auction this time will be led by the Heavenly Essence Commerce Association, and your Myriad Treasure Tower will be supplementary. This point must be made clear! "
Ding Ling 'er's heart jumped, looking at Li Yunxiao in surprise, her eyes revealing a touched look.
This was also precisely the place where she was most conflicted. If they cooperated, it would definitely be with the Myriad Treasure Tower as the primary. At that time, the Heavenly Essence Commerce Association would be reduced to a vassal. How would it be viewed in the eyes of the world? But if it was proposed to let my Myriad Treasure Tower rank second, Wei Hongfu would not agree no matter what.
Sure enough, after Wei Hongfu heard, he immediately shook his head repeatedly in shock and said, "What? Impossible, absolutely impossible. My Myriad Treasure Tower is the head of the seven major merchant alliances. How can we rank second?! "
Li Yunxiao smiled slightly and said unhurriedly, "Relax. This auction, if the Myriad Treasure Tower wants to intervene, I won't let you guys settle for second place. "
"En? Then you mean …? "Wei Hongfu was a little stunned. Ding Ling 'er also had a puzzled look.
Li Yunxiao enunciated each word and said, "It's to rank third!"
He looked at the two people whose mouths could stuff a watermelon in and said, "Hearing what you said just now, I'm really afraid that things will be screwed up. So I plan on inviting Grandmaster Baili to mobilize the Arcane Refiners Association's power to participate and assist the Heavenly Essence Commerce. If the Myriad Treasure Tower also has this intention, I'll naturally welcome it very much. "
"This …"
Wei Hongfu was completely dumbfounded. He did not think that there would be unexpected complications. His words would actually attract the Arcane Refiners Association, this colossus. Although the Myriad Treasure Tower belonged to a powerful existence on the continent, compared to the Arcane Refiners Association, it was still not on the same level.
He said rather unhappily, "Why would the Arcane Refiners Association participate in this kind of auction activity?"
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said leisurely, "Lord Wei doesn't need to worry about this. You just need to consider if the Myriad Treasure Tower is willing to settle for third place and participate in hosting the auction this time."
Ding Ling 'er's heart stirred, agitated beyond words.
She knew that Li Yunxiao and the Arcane Refiners Association seemed to have a layer of mysterious relationship, but she did not expect that he could actually invite Baili Gongjin. Baili Gongjin was a Tier 6 Arcane Refiners, his status abnormally exalted. Putting aside that the Arcane Refiners Association itself was incomparably powerful, even if there was just Baili Gongjin holding down the fort, it was also enough to deter thieves and rascals.
