A person like him who voluntarily relinquished power, yet was unwilling to monopolize it. He was someone that others could rest assured of.
Sect Master Yuling sighed in his heart. It was a pity that he loved freedom too much. It was such a pity that he couldn't take him in as a disciple. He sighed, "Since you are unwilling, I won't force you. The three of us are amateurs when it comes to business. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Miao Yi couldn't figure out Sect Master Yuling's true thoughts about De Ming, so he didn't want to push things too far. After all, they were father and son. It was better to wait and see. However, he still insisted, "For Daoist De Ming's sake, Daoist De Ming can't be placed in an important position for now. Daoist De Ming's position as the shopkeeper of the Morality Sundry Goods Store isn't suitable for him anymore. Find a chance to transfer him back to the Morality Sect and let him rest …"
The four of them plotted in the Morality Hall until nightfall before dispersing.
The next day, the Morality Sect was filled with excitement. Reverend Yu Xu, Miao Yi, and the eleven newly ascended Golden Lotus cultivators brought a group of Morality Sect disciples and flew to Heaven's Origin Planet.
Reverend Yu Lian also put aside what he was doing for the time being. Together with his Sect Master Senior Brother, they began to select the disciples for the sake of the Morality Sect's true legacy. They began to spend a lot of effort and resources to nurture them. The original group of people had already been convinced by Daoist De Ming, and were ready to reconstruct the Morality Sect's foundation.
Whether the Morality Gate would be controlled by the business, or the Morality Gate would be the one controlling the business, this was a battle that only the four core members were aware of, and the curtains had already been raised within the Morality Gate.
Returning to the Morality Sundry Goods Store at Celestial Street, Daoist De Ming was overjoyed to see his fellow disciples. He pulled Miao Yi to a secluded spot and asked, "Have you convinced the Sect Master and the two Reverends?"
Miao Yi smiled, "I have already explained your efforts to the Sect Master. After all, the Sect Master is your father. Naturally, he won't make things difficult for you."
De Ming bowed, "That's not true. The Sect Master is stubborn. You must have put in a lot of effort to convince him. For the future of the Morality Sect, you have done a great job. " He stood up and let out a sigh of relief. "Looks like we can start expanding the Morality Sundry Goods Store now. I will go talk to Shopkeeper Huangfu about this."
"Wait!" Miao Yi stopped him. He advised, "The Sect Leader has a bottom line in agreeing with you. That is, the Morality Sundry Goods Store can only be controlled by the Morality Sect. That's why we're not in a hurry to negotiate with Huangfu Jun. As for Y's side, your priority now is to train your fellow apprentices. Once the grocery store branch is set up, you'll be able to train them well. If they are sent out, they must be able to support a region on their own. If there is no one available, do you want outsiders to interfere with the operation of the sundry goods store? The Sect Leader and the two Enlightened Masters will never agree to this. In the future, the Morality Sundry Goods Store will definitely be handed over to you to manage. It won't be good to let an outsider take over the Sect Leader's side. They can't always stand on your side just because you're his son, can they? Daoist priest, the Sect Leader didn't make things difficult for you, so you shouldn't make things difficult for the Sect Leader either. You and your son should cooperate with each other, so you must have a clear idea of what to do. You still need to slow down on Shopkeeper Huangfu. There's no need to rush. Let them contact the shop first! "
"Alright!" De Ming nodded excitedly. He was excited at the thought that he would soon be in charge of a huge business network.
"Also, the disciples that will be sent to the various branches must be trained as soon as possible. In short, the Morality Sundry Goods Store can only use disciples from the Morality Sect. This is the bottom line that the Sect Leader asked me to pass on."
"Rest assured, Master. Even if you don't say it, I'll let them familiarize themselves with the various transactions as soon as possible!"
"There's one more thing that I need your help with. Huangfu Jun and I? Y is in a bad mood because of the Blood Demon. Help me put in a good word for Shopkeeper Huangfu. Don't keep pestering me. Why do you have to find trouble with me? It's better for everyone to get rich together, don't you think? "
"Don't worry! Leave this matter to me! "De Ming patted his chest and promised.
Soon. Spiritual Master Yu Xu gathered everyone for a talk. Miao Yi and De Ming arrived as well.
The target of the talk was mainly the newcomers. Spiritual Master Yu Xu asked everyone to learn with an open mind. He would lead by example and learn together with everyone. When he finished, he said to De Ming, "De Ming, since you want to do things well. You'll have to put in more effort. "
How could De Ming not put in effort? They were all his people, people he had roped in over the years. He cupped his fists and said, "This disciple understands!"
After the talk, De Ming immediately assigned people to make arrangements for everyone's learning.
After everyone left, Miao Yi and Spiritual Master Yu Xu looked at each other.
Miao Yi then stood up, cupped his fists and bowed, "I'm afraid Spiritual Master will have to work hard from now on. It's all Niu Youde's fault."
Spiritual Master Yu Xu held his arm and sighed. "You don't have to do this, Sir. This is all my fault, and I should be the one to make up for it. Moreover, the Vitality Sect is in danger. As an Elder of the Vitality Sect, how can I shirk my responsibilities? Sir, you've worked hard for the Vitality Sect, so what's the crime?"
Miao Yi put the matter aside for now and asked, "Spiritual Master, do you know that I owe the Hall of Heroes a trillion Red Crystals?"
Spiritual Master Yu Xu nodded, "De Ming has already told me. Are you in a hurry to repay the debt? De Ming said that the repayment period for the promissory note is a year. If you repay the debt now, I'm afraid there will be problems with the store's operations. De Ming is already slowly gathering the funds. After a year, he should be able to gather the money. "
"Repay the debt?" Miao Yi chuckled, "I'm not in a hurry to repay the debt. It's fine if you don't."
Spiritual Master Yu Xu frowned, "Are you trying to go back on your word? No matter what, De Ming is still the Sect Master's son. How can I go back on my word when he's the guarantor? Wouldn't that damage the Morality Sect's reputation? "
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Spiritual Master. I never go back on my word. I just wanted to let Spiritual Master know that without my permission, Spiritual Master must not release this sum of money. Once the money is gathered, if Daoist De Ming wants to withdraw the money to repay the debt, Spiritual Master must stop this sum of money. You must not release it as Daoist De Ming wishes!"
Spiritual Master Yu Xu nodded, indicating that he understood. However, he couldn't help but mention, "Forgive me for being blunt, but it's not worth it for you to spend such a huge sum of money on an Octagonal Formation. If you exchange it for Basic Immortal Pills, it will definitely help you break through to the Golden Lotus realm."
Miao Yi laughed, "Spiritual Master, please allow me to keep you in suspense for now. When the time comes, Spiritual Master will understand the benefits of this place. I will still return the money, but I won't forget about my Basic Immortal Pills!"
Spiritual Master Yu Xu replied, "If that's the case, then I'll be looking forward to it!"
A few days later, at the Hall of Heroes, Daoist De Ming paid a visit once again after making arrangements for the store.
Both the host and the guest took their seats in the pavilion. After a servant served tea, Huangfu Jun Y smiled, "I heard that the Vitality Sect has sent quite a number of people over. Could it be that the Vitality Sect finally couldn't withstand the pressure and agreed to Daoist De Ming's request?"
Daoist De Ming took a sip of his tea, then sighed, "Speaking of this, I really have to thank Niu Youde. He was the one who convinced the Sect Master and the two Senior Uncles."
'Huang Fujun?' Y said disdainfully, "I can't believe you believe his nonsense. Even if he didn't convince you, you've been making arrangements in the Vitality Sect for so long. Everyone in the sect is under your control. You can take over the upper echelons of the sect at any time. Under the circumstances, the sect can't withstand the pressure and will have to agree to your request sooner or later. At most, his role is to let the Sect Master take advantage of the situation and have a way out."
De Ming said, "No matter what, he's still useful. Otherwise, it won't be a good thing for me to fall out with my own father."
'Huang Fujun?' Y smiled. That was not something she was concerned about. She asked, "Then can we start our cooperation?"
De Ming said, "The Sect Master agreed to this matter with a bottom line. After the expansion of the grocery store, it must be people from the Vitality Sect. Right now, I don't have enough people on my side, so let's wait a little longer. Of course, you can start looking for connections on your side to contact the shops. Once I have enough people on my side, I can immediately sell the shops and reopen them. "
He was not a fool. After all, he was a member of the Vitality Sect. He agreed with the Sect Master's approach. He could not let the control of the Vitality Grocery fall into the hands of others.
'Huang Fujun?' Y was using him, but was he not using Huang Fujun as well? 'Y, it's only by using each other that the cooperation is interesting.'
"Alright! Then I'll arrange for someone to contact the shops on my side. " Y nodded with a smile and did not force him. Instead, he brought up another matter. "However, I need to make arrangements for the shops on my side. When it comes time to spend money, before our cooperation is finalized, I can't use the Great Ensemble's money in large amounts. So … the money that Niu Youde borrowed, Daoist, do you think you can repay it a little first? I won't ask you to repay it all at once so that you won't be nervous. Can you start repaying it monthly? It'll make things easier for me. "
She was a little relieved when Miao Yi did not return. However, as soon as Miao Yi returned, she could not help but feel uneasy. She did not know why, especially after Miao Yi set a trap for the Blood Demon. Recently, she had been thinking about the money that Miao Yi borrowed. To prevent any undue delays, she asked for it.
De Ming pondered for a moment. He knew that he could not go back on his word about this sum of money. Otherwise, the Great Ensemble would not let it go so easily. The Vitality Sect could not afford to offend the Great Ensemble either. He nodded and said, "You know that the money is under my master's care. I'll go back and talk to my master's uncle. Sigh! Niu Youde is really a spendthrift. He really doesn't know how hard it is to earn money! "
'Huang Fujun?' Y's eyes flickered. He seemed to have caught something from De Ming's expression. He nodded and smiled. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Daoist."
In the Morality Sundry Goods Store, Spiritual Master Yu Xu, who usually sat on the top floor to cultivate, appeared at the transaction backstage below. He was officially involved in every transaction in the store.
His appearance made the disciples of the sect nervous. That was how his presence was formed. In the past, when he did not come out, everyone only knew of Daoist De Ming.
After De Ming returned, he invited Spiritual Master Yu Xu to a secluded place and mentioned Moon Chaser's repayment of the Great Ensemble's money.
Spiritual Master Yu Xu frowned and began to mutter to himself. Miao Yi mentioned not long ago that he wanted him to hold the money. 'Huang Fujun?' Y turned around and asked them to repay the money. The two of them acted as though they had discussed it beforehand. They really had a tacit understanding.
