Yellow Crane State, Crane County.
As one of the nine great states of the Southern Region, the Yellow Crane State and Vermillion Bird State were in the same hot zone. Only the local customs and power structure were slightly different. For example, the Yellow Crane State did not have the Luo Chamber of Commerce, which had a monopoly like the Vermillion Bird State. Instead, there were three major chambers of commerce that competed with each other.
Each chamber of commerce was supported by a powerful force, which complemented each other. This was very different from the Vermillion Bird State.
In the Crane County, the competition was especially fierce. Unlike the peaceful Shiluo County, the martial artists in the Crane County were more aggressive. There were even many large areas that did not restrict killing. It was like a jungle world. Whoever had the biggest fist was the boss.
The strong were respected.
In fact, the rules of each state were set by the ruler. For example, the ruler of the Vermillion Bird State, King Yan, had a fiery temper, but he had the demeanor of a general. The Vermillion Bird State under his jurisdiction was peaceful. There were occasional conflicts, but the overall situation was stable.
The ruler of the Yellow Crane State, the Brown King, was one of the less experienced kings of the nine states of the Southern Region. He was also weaker.
Therefore, he supported Second Senior Brother King Lu and used this competition to speed up the development of the entire state. It was a completely different development model from the Vermillion Bird State.
But in fact, it was a smart way to do it.
…
Qin Chamber of Commerce.
"Now that things have come to this, there's only one way left, Patriarch."
"Yes, as long as we marry Qianqian, all the troubles can be solved."
…
In the hall, everyone was talking at once. They all looked anxious as they tried to persuade the patriarch. Sitting at the top was a middle-aged man with white sideburns. His face was slightly pale, as if he was sick. He was the patriarch of the Qin Chamber of Commerce, Qin Ren. He frowned.
Qin Ren slammed the table and stood up. He roared, "Enough, all of you shut up. I will not sell my daughter no matter what!"
There was complete silence. Everyone looked at each other, but there was no fear on their faces. Instead, they glanced at the noble lady sitting next to Qin Ren, First Madam Lu Yulian. Although she was middle-aged, she still maintained herself well. Facing Qin Ren's anger, Lu Yulian's expression did not change at all. She said calmly, "Vote."
Not only was she Qin Ren's wife, she was also the daughter of the leader of the "Gold Sword Sect" behind the Qin Merchant Association. Currently, she was the chairman of the Merchant Association.
Everyone knew that the person in charge of the clan was the Patriarch, Qin Ren, but the person who truly possessed the greatest authority was Lu Yulian. The Chamber of Commerce might be able to make money, but in Crane County, where strength reigned supreme, it was only a matter of time before it was defeated without the support of the Golden Sword Sect.
"I agree." "I also agree." "I abstain." … …
Each and every one of the chamber of commerce had expressed their opinions. There were a total of seven chamber of commerce meetings, and they were all made up of the core members of the chamber of commerce. They were responsible for dealing with matters that the chamber of commerce could not decide on or had a huge difference of opinion. In a sense, the power of the chamber of commerce meeting was even greater than that of the Patriarch, Qin Ren.
Out of the six chambers of commerce, including Lu Yulian, four agreed and two abstained.
"There's no need to talk about the results." Lu Yulian looked at Qin Ren with a cold smile. The marriage between the two was purely a matter of interests, and there was not much affection between them. Qin Ren's expression was extremely ugly. Although he was also one of the chamber of commerce meeting, his vote did not have the slightest effect at the moment.
"I strongly disagree!" Qin Ren clenched his teeth, and his voice trembled.
Lu Yulian glanced over and said unhappily, "As the Patriarch, you should prioritize the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. What kind of man is this?" Lu Yulian pressed her hand on her chest and shouted, "Do you think I don't feel heartache? Although I did not give birth to Qianqian, I have always treated her like my own daughter."
"Taking a step back, even if it does not involve the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, the marriage in front of Qianqian is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is rare that Young Master Yin likes our Qianqian. It is our Qianqian's fortune!" Lu Yulian's saliva flew everywhere, and her face was glowing.
"Yes, brother-in-law, Young Master Yin has been missing our Qianqian day and night. He has already sent people to propose marriage several times." The one who spoke was a white-faced man. He was Lu Yulian's cousin, the Jade Faced Prince 'Lu Jun'. He was also from the Golden Sword Sect and had Star Sector-level Level 9 power. He was now the pillar of the Chamber of Commerce.
"No, this will ruin Qianqian's happiness!" Although Qin Ren was at a disadvantage, his conviction was firm, and his gaze was burning. "Young Master Yin is known for being a womanizer. Although the Yin Family tried their best to cover it up, everyone knows that Yin Cong is just like his name. He is a complete pervert. He is licentious and ignorant. Many girls have lost their virginity in his hands."
"That is just a rumor, brother-in-law." Lu Jun smiled faintly. "Even if there is Young Master Yin, it is just a show. You know, such things are inevitable for men. But this time, Young Master Yin has really fallen for her. He even gave the betrothal gifts. It is definitely not a joke. "
"Hmph." Qin Ren snorted in disdain and did not say anything.
How could he not know Lu Jun's capabilities? It was obvious that he had taken his money.
"Alright, there is no need to say anything more. This matter is settled." Lu Yulian waved her hand. She did not care about Qin Ren's face at all. A radiant light rose from the corner of her eyes. "The Yin Family is extremely powerful. Their power covers the entire Yellow Crane Province. There is no power in the Crane Province that can be compared to them. The patriarch of the Yin Family, Yin Zhiyuan, only has one son, Yin Cong. If the Qin's Chamber of Commerce can form a marriage alliance with the Yin Family, within three years, the Qin's Chamber of Commerce will enter the top ten Chambers of Commerce in the Yellow Crane Province. Within ten years, we will be on par with the top three Chambers of Commerce in the Yellow Crane Province!"
There was a trace of ambition in her eyes. Lu Yulian's blueprint made everyone in the Qin's Chamber of Commerce excited.
Compared to the current Qin's Chamber of Commerce struggling at death's door and being forced to a dead end, it was a real bright and open road. But now …
Only the last step was left!
"Bang!" The jade table was completely shattered.
The sound of the explosion brought everyone back to reality. What they saw was a furious Qin Ren.
He seemed to be telling everyone that there was no room for negotiation. If they continued to force him, it would be a situation of mutual destruction.
"She is my daughter. As long as I, Qin Ren, am alive, no one can touch a single hair on her head!" Qin Ren's eyes emitted flames as he glanced at the people in the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him directly. Only Lu Yulian and Lu Jun did not care and looked at Qin Ren directly.
Angry?
So what if he was angry.
He was only a toothless tiger, what could he change?
Lu Jun carried a faint smile on his face. The managers of the Chamber of Commerce had always been her and her cousin Lu Yulian. As for Qin Ren? He was only a "puppet". Lu Yulian smiled disdainfully and said with disdain, "Let me tell you, Qin Ren, as long as you are still the Patriarch, you have to agree to this matter even if you don't want to …"
Pa! A heavy sound of something falling to the ground made Lu Yulian's voice stop abruptly.
It was a piece of pure gold metal token. The dazzling light symbolized wealth and glory. It was the symbol and symbol of the Patriarch of the Qin's Chamber of Commerce.
"I don't want to be the Patriarch anymore." Qin Ren opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Yulian. "You can be the Patriarch if you want. Let me tell you, I can't sell my daughter for glory!" The last three words were squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth. Qin Ren snorted coldly and turned around to leave, leaving behind the astonished crowd and Lu Yulian, whose face was green and white.
…
"What should we do?" Lu Yulian frowned.
"I have an idea, sister." Lu Jun's pale face flashed with a hint of viciousness.
"Tell me!" Lu Yulian said quickly.
"It's actually very simple. Qin Ren only has a few small fries. I can handle them with half a hand." Lu Jun sneered with confidence.
"So?" A light flashed across Lu Yulian's eyes.
"Kill those small fries and then tie up Qin Ren." Lu Jun smiled proudly. "It's easy to deal with Qin Qianqian, the widow and her son. We can subdue Qin Qianqian and feed her the special extremely strong aphrodisiac 'Spring Breeze Charm Powder.' I guarantee that no matter how strong her virginity is, she will become a slut and be sent to Young Master Yin's room. By then, what's done can't be undone, hehe!"
Lu Yulian nodded slowly. Suddenly, she hesitated. "That's not bad. I'm just afraid that she has a strong personality and will kill herself. Wouldn't we have wasted all our efforts?"
"Of course not." Lu Jun smiled valiantly. "I know women best. As long as you take her body, I guarantee that she will be loyal to you. Plus, we still have a trump card. I'm not afraid that Qin Qianqian won't listen to us."
Lu Yulian's eyes brightened. "You mean Qin Ren?"
"Yes!" Lu Jun's expression was sinister. He said slowly, "Since the father and daughter have such a good relationship, we can threaten Qin Qianqian. Anyway, she will be disheartened and dead by then. We have at least an eighty percent chance of using Qin Ren's life to threaten her. At that time, we can send her to the bridal sedan and get married. Everything will be settled. "
After pondering for a while, Lu Yulian's lips curled into a smile. "My good brother, you're so naughty."
Lu Jun's eyes were full of lust. He hugged Lu Yulian and his hand had already reached inside. "I can be even naughtier. Didn't I say that I know women best?"
The smell of decay, mixed with the panting of men and women, reverberated in the huge bedroom.
…
…
Whoosh! The teleportation formation in Crane County shone brightly.
Lin Feng's figure appeared slowly. Looking at the scenery around him, he smiled faintly.
Thinking that he would be able to see Qianqian soon, and thinking of the scenes between them in Yanling Residence, he felt a sense of happiness and satisfaction. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Although his feelings for Qianqian were brought together by responsibility, he was heartless. Slowly, sparks flew and they developed true feelings.
In his heart, he had long regarded Qianqian as his wife.
"This is the Yellow Crane Continent." Lin Feng murmured softly with a calm expression.
When he first stepped on the land of the Yellow Crane Continent, he did not feel uncomfortable. There was almost no difference between this place and the Vermillion Bird Continent, except that there seemed to be more aggressive elements in the air. Lin Feng suddenly smiled as he looked at the surrounding arenas, arenas, and various enormous training grounds built on the streets, and he could guess a thing or two about it.
This place was quite 'martial arts'.
"It shouldn't be difficult to find the merchant association. Let's go and ask them." Lin Feng nodded.
Perhaps he was curious about this place since it was his first time here, but the most important thing now was to find Qianqian.
As for the rest, he would think about it later.
