"Yes, yes, yes, this is between me and the Violet Cloud Chamber of Commerce. My Lord, please … Ah!!! … "
Liang Kuan hurriedly continued, trying to avoid the topic. However, he instantly felt a sharp pain in his thigh and blood spurted out. His heart sank. The pain in his heart was even worse than the pain in his thigh. He felt the world was spinning and there was no light in the world anymore.
Li Yunxiao said coldly, "This time it was your thigh, not your third calf. Next time, it will really be your life."
Liang Kuan hurriedly looked down. There was indeed a bloody hole in his thigh and blood kept spurting out. However, he did not feel any pain or grievance. Instead, he felt that the bloody hole was very cute. He heaved a sigh of relief and did not dare to put on airs in front of Li Yunxiao again. He hurriedly told him the whole story.
At the border between the two regions, the Southern Fire City's biggest resource was the Golden Fire Crystal. The several huge mountain ranges around it all contained the Golden Fire Crystal Mine. It was an unimaginably huge resource.
Conflicts arose around this huge resource.
One side was the foreign chamber of commerce. Led by the Thunderstorm Chamber of Commerce, many chambers of commerce came from all over the world. Originally, the arrival of the chamber of commerce had stimulated the activity of the local resources. However, these chambers of commerce were powerful in their own right. Apart from purchasing the raw stones of the Golden Fire Crystal Mine at a low price, they gradually intervened in the division of resources in the local mines.
On the other side were the local forces near Nanhuo City, such as the Bei Dou Sect and the New Moon Sect. Naturally, they wouldn't watch as their resources were forcibly taken away. However, the greater the profit, the greater the risk. None of the people in the Merchant Union were good people. In the entire process of fighting for profit, dozens of weak local forces were annihilated, never to exist again.
This caused a great crisis for the local forces. At this time, everyone joined hands and formed the Southern Fire Chamber to fight against the foreign forces. Only then did they reverse the declining trend of the local forces and achieve a certain balance with the Chamber of Commerce.
Neither side was willing to continue fighting. Although the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce was a huge organization, they would have to sacrifice a lot to completely eradicate the South Fire Alliance. Moreover, the Merchant Alliance was also in a turbulent and turbulent place. They had to protect their position and interests in the Merchant Alliance first. That was why they were developing peacefully.
The Merchant Union was led by the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce, while the Southern Fire Union was led by the Big Dipper Sect and the Sky Scorpio Sect. They signed a series of peace treaties, which finally eased the conflict between the two parties that had lasted for many years.
Although the enmity between the two factions had stopped on the surface, the battle in the dark had never stopped, and there was no less blood shed because of this. In the conversation between the leader of the New Moon Sect and Liang Ye last time, it seemed that the Southern Fire Union would also make a series of moves against the Commerce Union. When they were talking about the Chambers of Commerce in the Southern Fire City, they specifically mentioned the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce. It seemed that this Chamber of Commerce had fallen into an unprecedented crisis and could barely protect itself.
Liang Kuan heard this, but he didn't mind it. However, when he was selling the Netherworld Stones, he saw that the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce was so unfriendly to him, but was so friendly to a strange young man. He couldn't help but be furious when he thought of the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce's current situation.
After Liang Kuan finished his brief explanation, everyone's expression changed. They all ended their business and left in a hurry. They originally thought it was just the arrogance of a silly playboy, but they didn't expect it to be related to the Southern Fire Union's recent moves.
What they feared the most was a pig-like teammate!
Now that Liang Kuan had revealed this matter in public, the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce would probably receive the news very soon. The Southern Fire Union's plan would probably fail, and the New Moon Sect would probably have to bear the blame. Would the New Moon Sect let him go? This brat didn't know how to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. He spilled everything out in a moment of fear.
The maidservants of the Purple Cloud Chamber of Commerce all changed their expressions when they heard this. The interior of the Chamber of Commerce was indeed like the Southern Fire Union's analysis. They couldn't even take care of themselves. If the Southern Fire Union were to attack them now, they wouldn't be able to handle it. At such a crucial moment, the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce would probably be eager for the small merchants to be destroyed so that they could further expand themselves. Because the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce alone was enough to fight against the entire Southern Fire Union. They didn't need the small fries like them at all.
"Can you let me go now?"
Liang Kuan asked while trembling. He didn't know that he had revealed a huge piece of information, and the entire New Moon Sect would be affected because of this.
"Mm."
Li Yunxiao looked at him with pity and said, "Go. Good luck."
"Mm?" Liang Kuan didn't understand. He didn't understand what he meant, and couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it carefully.
"That's right, where's your Netherworld Stone? Give it to me. I have a use for it."
Li Yunxiao suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip. It was to purchase a large amount of materials, and the Netherworld Stone was undoubtedly one of the best materials.
Liang Kuan felt bitter in his heart. The other party was obviously extorting him, but he didn't dare to refuse. There was a flash of green light in his hand, and a light green stone appeared. He held it in his hand and handed it over.
Li Yunxiao's pupils dilated slightly, and when he saw the Netherworld Stone, he revealed a confused expression. He took it and played with it in his hand for a while. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he regained his normal expression. He put the Netherworld Stone away and waved his hand, saying, "You can go."
The four cultivators quickly let go of the seventh maidservant and ran away with Liang Kuan.
After Liang Kuan stepped out of the shop, he turned around and revealed a look of resentment. He glared at Li Yunxiao fiercely, and then quickly ran away. He didn't dare to stay for long, and he didn't dare to threaten him. However, he was unwilling to give up. Hence, he glared at him, and left a signal that said, "Wait and see.
"Thank you, sir, for saving me!"
The seventh maidservant came forward, and thanked him gratefully. However, it was difficult to erase the deep worry in her eyes.
Li Yunxiao said indifferently, "You're welcome. Bring me to see your president."
The seventh maidservant then led the way, and the other maidservants returned to their positions. However, the shop was already empty.
Li Yunxiao followed the maidservant through a few courtyards, and finally stopped outside a private room.
The maidservant went forward and knocked on the door, and said respectfully, "President, a sir is looking for you."
A woman's voice came from behind the door. "Got it. Let him in."
The tightly shut door opened automatically, and celestial music came from inside. There was actually someone burning incense and playing the zither.
The zither music was sobbing, like a curtain of resentment, like weeping and complaining. The music lingered in the air, and it didn't stop. The hidden dragon that danced in the ravine, the widow that abandoned the lonely boat.
"The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the crows fly south. What a beautiful poem of the bright moon, a graceful movement!"
Li Yunxiao praised with a smile, and strode in.
The zither music stopped for a moment, and then changed its tune. It turned into a clear and melodious sound, like a mountain spring playing in the mountains, giving off a gentle and beautiful feeling.
In the private room, a beautiful woman in palace attire was boiling water and making tea. In front of the tea set was a three-legged incense burner, and the fragrance inside slowly spread, refreshing the mind. Beside the beautiful woman was a white jade screen, on which there were simple carvings of mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds. The zither music came from behind the screen.
The beautiful woman in palace attire saw an unfamiliar face, and then looked at Li Yunxiao's cultivation level. She said in surprise, "Sir, what business do you have with me?"
Li Yunxiao said, "You're Wu Chen? I heard that the Violet Cloud Commerce is in danger, but it doesn't seem to be the case. President seems to be quite relaxed. "
"Oh? Just because Liang Kuan spouted a few nonsense words, Young Master believed him? "
Wu Chen smiled knowingly, and gestured for him to sit.
Li Yunxiao didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down across from her, picked up the cup of tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp. Immediately, a warm current flowed through all the meridians in his body, making him feel indescribably comfortable.
After drinking, Li Yunxiao put the empty teacup on the table, smiled, and gestured for Wu Chen to pour the tea.
Wu Chen was stunned, she did not expect him to be so impolite. This tea was priceless, and she rarely had the chance to drink it. She was even more reluctant to pour the tea for him, and asked curiously, "Sir, can you tell me where you came from and what you want?"
Li Yunxiao laughed, "How stingy, I only took a sip."
Wu Chen was angry, and said angrily, "Do you know what kind of tea this is?"
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly, and did not speak. Instead, he closed his eyes, and gently sniffed the fragrance in the room, and enjoyed it immensely.
Wu Chen was speechless. The incense in the three-legged copper stove was also very precious, but she could not put it out. She put down the teacup in her hand, and said coldly, "If you don't speak, I'll send you off."
Only then did Li Yunxiao open his eyes. He smiled and said, "The maidservant outside has to endure humiliation and humiliation. Inside, the president is burning incense and tasting tea, lying down and playing the zither. The way the president is behaving is too cold."
An imperceptible worry flashed in Wu Chen's eyes, and she laughed coldly, "This is the business of the Violet Cloud Commerce, why do you need to worry? If you think you can be presumptuous in front of me just because you helped those girls, then you're gravely mistaken. "
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Alright, President Wu Chen, stop pretending. Your commerce is in danger, and you'd better think about how to deal with it. Pretending to be fine here will only make the Southern Fire Union, and even the Thunder Wind Commerce, laugh at you. "
Wu Chen's expression changed drastically, as if it was covered with a layer of frost. She said coldly, "Nonsense, Liang Kuan is just a foppish playboy, do you really believe what he said?"
Li Yunxiao did not deny it, and directly took the tea set from the table, poured himself a full cup, and drank it in one gulp under Wu Chen's ugly expression. Only then did he reveal a satisfied smile, and said, "I didn't take it seriously at first, but …"
His eyes flashed, and he turned to look at the white jade screen, as if he wanted to see through it, and clearly see the scenery behind it. He laughed coldly, "But President Jin Xuan personally came to the Southern Fire City, so I have no choice but to believe it! Am I right, President Jin Xuan? "
"Zheng!"
The sound of the zither suddenly stopped, and the whole room was silent!
