Shang Xin Ci had a benevolent nature, when she attacked now, she was extremely domineering, instantly suppressing the entire situation.
The Gu cultivation world was like this — the strong were revered.
But even though Shang Xin Ci imprisoned everyone, she did not punish them, instead, she promised in front of everyone: She would compensate them with double the price.
And even though she knew that there were people with ulterior motives, she did not attack them, instead, she let them go.
"Shang Xin Ci actually let these people go!"
"Hmph, soft-heartedness."
"She actually did not attack, if it were me, I would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one go."
Shang Ya Zi and the rest discussed secretly, expressing their disdain, concealing the uneasiness in their hearts.
Shang Qiu Niu, however, had a complex expression: "Maybe, this is where Shang Xin Ci is different from us. This is also why father values her and made her the clan leader. "
"Shang Qiu Niu, what are you saying?" Someone immediately retorted.
Shang Qiu Niu said plainly: "You all saw it earlier, Shang Xin Ci is so strong, she definitely surpasses any of us. When she was the clan leader earlier, she controlled Shang clan well, all of their businesses were doing well. Even though the slave trade was banned, Shang clan's profits only fell for a period of time before rising again, surpassing the previous time. "
"We have to admit, Shang Xin Ci's ability surpasses us, right now, her benevolence and benevolence are even more widespread. Because of this, father passed the clan leader position to her, it is not an act of favoritism. "
Shang Qiu Niu had revived, the experience of death was his precious asset, he could look at things more rationally and calmly.
But soon, Shang Yi Fan sneered: "Boss Qiu Niu, even if you are speaking the truth, so what? Whoever becomes the clan leader will be nurtured by the clan to become an immortal. This is an immortal opportunity! Even if Shang Xin Ci's ability and virtue surpass us, so what? Are you going to compete for this immortal opportunity or not? "
Shang Qiu Niu was silent for a while before nodding, saying with a solemn expression: "Compete!"
After Shang Xin Ci let go of the troublesome Gu cultivators, she appeased the sellers in the shop.
An old man trembled as he came before Shang Xin Ci and expressed his gratitude: "If it wasn't for Clan Leader coming here today, I'm afraid this old man would have suffered a calamity. Alas, it's all because I'm blind and blinded by greed. I listened to rumors and bought a batch of low-priced goods. I didn't expect these goods to be fake. "
Little Butterfly curled her lips. "Old man, you've been in Shang Liang Mountain for several years. You've been running the shop for a long time. Why are you still so short-sighted? "
The old man's face was filled with shame.
"Xiao Die." Shang Xin Ci expressed her understanding: "It is not easy for the Gu cultivators living here. If it were me running this business, I would naturally want to earn more. This is human nature. "
Xiaodie angrily looked at the old man: "Old man, consider yourself lucky to have met our young miss. From now on, keep your eyes open. Don't be greedy for petty gains, do you hear me? "
"I heard you, I heard you," the old man replied hurriedly.
"Miss, let's go. Looking at these people makes me angry. If they were not greedy for petty gains, why would there be so many fake goods in the market? "Xiaodie turned around and looked at Shang Xin Ci.
But the old man suddenly said: "Lord Clan Leader, please wait a moment."
Shang Xin Ci asked: "What else do you want to say?"
The old man stammered: "I'm ashamed, I'm truly ashamed! I bought such a large batch of fake goods, I can't sell them anymore in the future. But if I destroy them, it will be a huge loss! Lord Clan Leader, didn't you promise to compensate us earlier? "
"What?!" When Xiao Die heard this, she immediately exploded in anger. She pointed at the old man's nose and shouted, "You old thing, how can you be so shameless? You made a mistake and were protected by our patriarch, but instead of being grateful, you want to extort us?"
Xiao Lan who was at the side also felt disdain for such behavior, she added: "You are so old, but you are so dishonest. Are all the losses going to be borne by our Shang clan? There is no such logic in this world, right? "
But Shang Xin Ci stopped the two maids from rebuking her. She looked at the old man in front of her, then at the group of sellers behind him.
Shang Xin Ci's gentle tone was like before: "Good reminder, since I, Shang Xin Ci, am the Shang clan leader, and have made a public promise, I will not go back on it. Since I agreed to double the compensation, I will do my best to fulfill this promise. The fake goods you brought in can be exchanged for the corresponding double compensation. "
"Thank you, Lord Clan Leader!"
"Lord Clan Leader, you are the most benevolent clan leader I have ever seen!"
"Lord Clan Leader, you've saved my entire family! Without this compensation, my entire family would have been chased out of the clan. "
At the next moment, all the Gu Masters spoke, some cried, some knelt on the spot, thanking Shang Xin Ci.
"Let's go." Shang Xin Ci pulled the two maids and left the place, walking to the end of the street.
The two maids were still indignant.
Xiaodie grumbled: "Miss, you are too easy to talk to. Not only did you release those troublemaking Gu cultivators, you even gave them double the compensation. "
Xiao Lan also said: "Miss, I know you are kind-hearted and sympathize with those pitiful people. But be it buyers or sellers, there are definitely bad people lurking around. Now that you are giving them double compensation, I am afraid I have fallen for the mastermind's scheme, they want to empty our Yuan stone reserves first. "
Shang Xin Ci shook her head: "It is just some Yuan stone, if we lose one, we can earn two, three, or even more in the future. But if Shang clan's reputation is ruined, who knows how much effort and time we will have to spend to make up for it. "
"If I am unwilling to part with these Yuan stones, I would have fallen for the mastermind's scheme. Losing Yuan stones is not important, but damaging Shang clan's reputation is even more serious. It is I, Shang Xin Ci, who is the clan leader, who did not do a good job. They can make use of this to shake my position as the Patriarch. "
Shang Xin Ci's tone was gentle, she spoke slowly and calmly, giving people a feeling of warmth.
The two maidservants understood what he meant.
Xiao Lan was convinced: "So it was like this. Miss is truly amazing, you can see everything clearly! "
Xiao Die pouted: "Miss is right, it is just that this matter is too infuriating. Maybe that old man is not a bad person, but he got hold of our weakness and took the chance to get rich! They did not find trouble with those scoundrels who harmed them, instead, they bully good people like us. If Lord Fang Yuan was here, these people would be so scared that they would pee their pants and fall to the ground, they would not dare to offend us! "
Xiao Lan stared at Xiao Die fiercely, she stomped her foot and stepped on Xiao Die's foot.
Xiao Die jumped in pain, she quickly stuck out her tongue and apologized to Shang Xin Ci: "Miss, sorry, I said something wrong."
Ever since Fang Yuan fought Lu Wei Yin and was hit by the killer move Three Lifetime Dream Aid, Shang Xin Ci returned to Shang Liang Mountain, and every time she heard Fang Yuan's name, she would fall into a sorrowful mood.
Thus, Fang Yuan's name gradually became a taboo among the people around Shang Xin Ci.
On the way back, the three of them were silent.
At the end of the street, Xiao Lan suddenly said, "Miss, Master Wei De Xin and Master Zhou Quan have been bedridden for many days, why don't we pay them a visit and see how they are doing?"
Xiao Die secretly gave Lan a thumbs up.
At this time, it was better to divert Shang Xin Ci's attention to the outside world.
Shang Xin Ci nodded. "You're right. Let's go see them now."
The three of them first arrived at Wei De Xin's residence.
"Stop! Who are you? Why are you acting so sneakily!" Xiao Die noticed a suspicious person at the door.
The suspected Gu cultivator saw Shang Xin Ci and his expression sank, but he relaxed inwardly, he knew Shang Xin Ci was a benevolent person, thus he confessed: "I am a Wu clan Gu Master, I am here to deliver a letter to Lord Wei Shen Jing."
Xiao Die's expression changed as she looked at Shang Xin Ci: "Miss, bad news. Lady Wei De Xin probably saw that the situation wasn't good and was going to defect to the Wu Clan. "
Shang Xin Ci lightly knocked on Xiao Die's forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, Sister Wei is not that kind of person. Sister Wei and Shen Shi Wei were blood-related siblings, so there was nothing strange about them communicating with each other. Both of you, come in with me. "
Shang Xin Ci let go of that Wu clan Gu Master, she entered the courtyard and saw the bedridden Wei De Xin.
Wei De Xin clearly knew about the conflict at the door, she immediately handed an information path Gu worm to Shang Xin Ci. But Shang Xin Ci smiled and did not accept it.
Wei De Xin explained the reason: "Those people had incredible methods, they schemed against me and Zhou Quan, causing us to be bedridden all day. But I was not stumped by this, I sent a letter to my brother Wei Shen Jing and asked him to help. "
Lan was overjoyed: "That's great. Lord Wei Shen Jing is known as the Counterfeit Master, he is famous in Southern Border. If he can help us, we will definitely be able to solve the problem of our Shang clan having too many fake goods! "
Shang Xin Ci smiled: "Not long ago, in Sun Moon Sinkhole, I met Wei Shen Jing, we worked together to kill the demon Kong Ri Tian."
Wei De Xin sighed: "Back then, when Wei clan was persecuted, Shang clan was the mastermind. My brother was outside, to protect himself, he had no choice but to join Wu clan. He had always harbored hatred towards Shang clan, he did not understand why I joined you, clan leader. But this time, he sent a letter saying that clan leader's character and virtue impressed him, he already understood my actions. "
"It is a pity that he is unable to leave now. Wu clan leader Wu Ji has already succeeded in her immortal ascension, she promoted my brother not long ago. Wu clan is focusing on nurturing external elders, they actually intend to nurture an outsider to become a Wu clan external elder Gu Immortal. My brother is facing a test, he can only explain the details, he cannot come. "
"Ah!" Xiao Die and Xiao Lan looked at each other, they saw the deep disappointment on each other's faces.
Shang Xin Ci was still smiling: "Brother Wei has such an opportunity, it is truly rare, if we let it go, we will regret it for life. Even though we are in trouble, we cannot delay Brother Wei's bright future. But fighting for the immortal ascension opportunity will be dangerous and difficult. If Brother Wei needs any help, we will definitely help if we can. "
"Clan leader, you are so kind, it is a pity that I cannot help you." Wei De Xin sighed.
"Sister Wei, I need to thank you. But you are injured, don't overwork yourself. To speak the truth, just rest and recuperate, I already have a countermeasure. "Shang Xin Ci's smile spread.
Wei De Xin looked at Shang Xin Ci deeply, sighing inwardly again.
She understood Shang Xin Ci well, seeing her expression, she knew that she had not thought of a countermeasure.
This situation was very difficult, after all, Shang Qiu Niu's group was working together. Such a huge problem, if it was not dealt with properly, Shang Xin Ci's position as clan leader would be affected.
Shang Yan Fei had passed the clan leader position to Shang Xin Ci, but the righteous path had its own rules. If Shang Xin Ci was chased out, Shang Yan Fei, who had already passed the clan leader position once, would not be able to protect her.
"Shang Xin Ci cannot even protect herself, she did not want me to be overly worried, so she comforted me." Wei De Xin understood this, she smiled at Shang Xin Ci: "Since clan leader has a countermeasure, I can rest assured, I need to recuperate now."
"That's right." Shang Xin Ci smiled.
"You can leave, don't disturb my recuperation." Wei De Xin waved her hand, she knew that Shang Xin Ci was pressed for time, she did not want to waste her time.
The three of them were 'chased' out.
They left Wei De Xin's place and went to visit Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan said: "I know what happened in the market. Lord clan leader, you handled it well! "
"If it was me in the past, I might not have been able to see through the situation. It was all thanks to Steward Zhou and Sister Wei's teachings. "Shang Xin Ci said humbly.
Zhou Quan looked at Shang Xin Ci, initially, he was forced by Fang Yuan to become Shang Xin Ci's subordinate and help her.
But soon, he realized Shang Xin Ci's nature, he was shocked that there was such a person in the world.
If Shang Xin Ci was only kind and benevolent, Zhou Quan would look down on her and leave her.
But even though Shang Xin Ci's Gu cultivation talent was not good, she was intelligent and good at deducing many things from one instance, under Zhou Quan and Wei De Xin's guidance, she grew rapidly. Now, not only in terms of personal ability, she was also able to manage the huge Shang clan with ease.
Zhou Quan was gratified, he also felt admiration.
It was because Shang Xin Ci's character was the same, she had her own bottom line. Her kindness and benevolence had never wavered because she had seen too much darkness, filth, and viciousness. Not only that, Shang Xin Ci dug out the pity and compassion from all kinds of cruelty and sorrow, thus strengthening her benevolent and benevolent heart.
This was too rare and precious!
Before leaving, Zhou Quan reminded: "Lord clan leader, even if you pay double the compensation, it will only alleviate the public's anger, it will not solve the root of the problem. The root of this matter is still the fake goods. How to find the source of the fake goods and kill them, this is the first. How to quickly and effectively investigate the remaining fake goods in the market, this is the second. Only by solving these two problems can we truly break out of this predicament. "
Deep into the night.
In the room next door, Xiao Lan and Xiao Die were already asleep.
Shang Xin Ci looked at the pile of fake Gu on the table, her expression was filled with worry.
She smiled bitterly.
To not let the people around her worry, and because she had the responsibility of the clan leader, Shang Xin Ci was usually confident and calm. Only when she was alone would she show her true emotions.
At this moment, she was like a delicate flower in the wind and rain, so haggard that it made one's heart ache.
Facing this pile of fake Gu, she was helpless. The truth was, Shang Xin Ci had already used all her strength to get to this point!
In the silent night, she let out a long sigh of helplessness.
"Why is clan leader sighing?" Suddenly, the fake Gu shone with light, quickly forming the image of an old man.
