(Supplementary for ten months. Monthly ticket of 7500 plus updates.)
Regarding this, the Enlightened Yu Xu was very worried. When the Morality Goods Store first opened in the early years, it was almost driven to a dead end by that woman. When De Ming took over the Morality Goods Store later on, he had no experience and Niu Youde was not around. It could be said that he was treading on thin ice. The reason why he got close to that woman was probably because of that incident.
He couldn't afford to offend that woman at all. When he realized that Miao Yi was about to wrestle with her again, how could Master Yu Xu not be worried?
Even so, Reverend Yu Xu still followed Miao Yi's instructions. He furrowed his brows and said, "He already agreed to lend us the money to buy a shop. Do you think he's lacking this bit of money? We agreed on a one year deadline but now they are urging us to return it … De Ming, I am rather doubtful whether the Hall of Heroes has the capability or not, I am doubting whether they have the sincerity to cooperate with us. If you can't, then forget it. That woman is not to be trifled with! "
What he said made sense. De Ming was speechless by his Uncle-Master's words. He was also worried that the situation that he worked so hard to stir up would be destroyed again. He immediately replied, "Uncle-Master, it's normal for a buyer to chase after a debt. She didn't force us to pay it back, she only mentioned it. How about this, I'll go back and discuss with her. By then, there shouldn't be a problem to pay it back. It won't affect our cooperation."
Perfected Jade Void nodded and said, "Then let's drag it out. We'll return it when it's due. If we don't do as we agreed, I won't be confident."
"Yes! Martial Uncle is right. " De Ming hurriedly agreed, but he sighed in his heart. Things were often like this. It was really difficult to do something, and there would always be obstacles.
The next day, he went to the Hall of Heroes again and conveyed Immortal Yuxu's intentions tactfully. Y dismissed the matter with a smile and did not press further. He reckoned that the Morality General Goods Store would not have the guts to borrow money from the Hall of Heroes and not return it.
De Ming thanked her for her generosity and suddenly remembered something. "Shopkeeper Huangfu, I forgot to mention something yesterday. It's about Niu Youde."
Speaking of Miao Yi, Huangfu Jun? Y was slightly alarmed and asked, "What is it?"
De Ming sighed, "Niu Youde asked me to plead for leniency. Regarding the matter between him and the Blood Demon, he hoped that Shopkeeper Huang Fu would be magnanimous and let him go. Shopkeeper Huangfu, it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. Let's work together from now on. It's not good for anyone to leave a knot that can't be untied. What do you think? "
Huang Fujun? Y smiled and did not answer the question, "Taoist Master, I'm aware of the situation with the Morality grocery store. Xiahou Longcheng took 20% of the profits. Niu Youde also took 20% of the profits, and every year, he would have to contribute another 10%. After we work together, we will have to reduce another 20%. By then, the Vitality Sect will only be left with 30%! To put it bluntly, it was the truth. When the Morality Grocery Store first opened, he did put in some effort. But for so many years, he had done nothing but sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Xiahou Longcheng took 20%, but at least he had the background and strength to take care of the grocery store's business. There was nothing to say even if he gave 20%. But he, Niu Youde, only showed his face once every few hundred years. He doesn't want to do anything and comes and goes as he pleases. He borrowed one trillion Red Crystals from me in one go, but he still wants the Daoist priest to be his guarantor and help him return the money. It's not that I'm unhappy because I borrowed money from him, or that I have a grudge against him, but that's the truth, and the Daoist priest knows it very well. The Daoist priest has been working hard for the Morality grocery store for hundreds of years, but he sat back and enjoyed the fruits of others' labor, yet he received so much more than the Daoist priest. Even an outsider like me can't stand it anymore! "
De Ming remained expressionless for a while. He suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you think that Shopkeeper Huangfu is trying to sow discord by saying this? I'm afraid it's hard for me not to misunderstand that Shopkeeper Huangfu is unhappy because of the grudge between you two. "
Huang Fujun? Y let out a long laugh and shook his head gently, "If you must think that way, I don't need to defend myself. If the Daoist priest has no objections, I have no objections either. Since the Daoist priest has spoken, I naturally have to respect the Daoist priest. As long as he knows what's good for him, I won't make things difficult for him. However, I still feel that it's not worth it for the Morality Sect and the Daoist priest. Has the Daoist priest ever thought about how much profit the Morality grocery store can generate once it expands? Have you ever thought about how much money you can get with 20% of the profits? The 20% that I take here belongs to the entire Hall of Heroes, not me alone. The 30% that the Morality Sect takes belongs to the entire Morality Sect, not you alone. How many disciples do you need to feed in order to get 30%? He, Niu Youde, only needs to feed himself, yet he has to take 20%. That's a little too unfair. If he's really thinking for the Morality Sect, he shouldn't hog so much. Daoist priest, there are some things that I don't know if I should say. "
These words made De Ming unable to sit still, but he could not help but smile bitterly, "Shopkeeper Huangfu, you've said what should and shouldn't be said. What else can't be said, I'm all ears."
'Huangfu Jun?' Y's slender index finger slid around the teacup's lid and lowered his voice, "I have a way to make him hand over the 20%. He borrowed one trillion red crystals from me, and it's stated on the IOU that it'll be repaid within a year. If we work together and cause the grocery store to be unable to pay back the money when the repayment period arrives, we can force him to find a way to pay it back himself. I can take the opportunity to make him spit out the 20% and transfer it to the Daoist priest's name. Once it's under the Daoist priest's name, it'll naturally return to the Morality Sect. He's the one who borrowed the money, so he can't blame anyone else. What do you think, Daoist priest? "
De Ming's heart started beating faster, and he stood up decisively. He cupped his hands and bid farewell, "Shopkeeper Huangfu, this is just a joke. It goes in one ear and out the other. I won't take it to heart. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away. However, Huangfu Jun's voice came from the pavilion behind him. Y reminded him again, "This is not a joke. I'm doing this for the good of the Morality Sect. Daoist priest, why don't you think about it? If you think it's appropriate, we can make a detailed plan. Daoist priest, you must understand that the Morality Sect will only hold 30% of the shares, and I hold 20%. You should know about Xiahou Longcheng's 20%. If I want to come over, it won't be difficult. When the time comes, it won't be difficult for Daoist priest to figure out who the owner of the Morality Grocery Store will be. Can you guarantee that Niu Youde will always stand on the Morality Sect's side and ensure that the Morality Sect will always be the owner of the Morality Grocery Store? He's not a disciple of the Morality Sect, but an outsider. If he's not willing to spit out the 20%, his intentions must be unfathomable! Daoist priest, for the future of the Morality Sect, someone has to be the bad guy. Please consider carefully! "
Faced with such threats and temptations, De Ming's stopped body trembled slightly. In the end, he braced himself and left quickly.
There was no one else in the courtyard. The flowers were red and the willows were green. Was it Huangfu Jun who sat alone in the pavilion? Y picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip. His lips curled into a mocking smile as he muttered to himself, "I'll cut off your source of wealth and force you to fall out with the Morality Sect. I'll show you the ugly side of the Morality Sect, and then I'll give you a chance to seek justice. If you don't want it …"
Back at the Morality Grocery Store, De Ming knocked on Miao Yi's door and saw Miao Yi meditating inside. He wondered if it was because of Huangfu Jun? Y's words made him feel indescribably uncomfortable.
Everyone in the Morality Grocery Store, including Senior Uncle Yu Xu, was busy, yet he was here cultivating leisurely.
"Daoist priest, is something the matter?" Miao Yi opened his eyes and asked with a smile.
"It's nothing!" De Ming squeezed out a smile and went up to inform him, "Shopkeeper Huangfu has come to an agreement. She agreed not to pursue what happened before."
Miao Yi found it funny. 'Even Huangfu Jun? Y might agree, but the Blood Demon might not agree either. He was just putting on a humble front to lower that woman's guard, and that bastard actually took it seriously. ' After thanking him, he asked curiously, "Daoist priest, you don't look too good. Did Huangfu Jun ask for mercy on my behalf? Did Y say something unpleasant? "
"No, no!" De Ming left after a few more words of courtesy.
Miao Yi stopped cultivating as well. He walked to the window and pushed it open to look at the scenery of Sky Street. After a moment of silence, he closed the window and left. He left the grocery store and wandered the streets alone. He slowly made his way to the Eastern District's Governor's Office.
He paced back and forth at the entrance of the Governor's Office a few times, hesitating on whether he should go in or not. He simply felt uncomfortable if he didn't figure out the matter that was bothering him. In the end, he stopped in front of the door and asked the guard to notify him.
When the guard returned, someone else led him in.
He waited alone in the spotless main hall. Someone served him tea, but he didn't dare to touch it. Just the thought of Kou Wenlan's mother gave him goosebumps. He really didn't want to touch anything here, not to mention drinking tea with a teacup that Kou Wenlan might have used before.
After waiting for quite some time, Kou Wenlan finally appeared. He wore a yellow muslin robe, had a handsome appearance, and emanated a warm and refined aura.
Miao Yi stood up and greeted him. Kou Wenlan flicked the handkerchief on his hand and invited him to take a seat. He then sat down at the head of the table and smiled warmly. "Brother Niu, it's been many years. It's rare for you to take the initiative to visit."
Miao Yi sighed in his heart. They were both people with powerful backgrounds, but why was there such a huge difference in the way that coward Xiahou Longcheng treated others?
After chatting for a while, Kou Wenlan put down his teacup and wiped his lips with a handkerchief. He smiled and said, "Brother Niu, you didn't come here just to chat with me, did you? If that's the case, then I'm afraid I'll have to be rude. "
Miao Yi thought for a moment, then finally asked, "Commander Kou, have you heard of Huangfu Jun and me? Rumors about Y? "
Kou Wenlan was taken aback. He quickly covered his mouth with the handkerchief and snickered. After a while, he put it down and asked, "You came here for this?"
Miao Yi sighed and said, "I am an honest man. I can't keep things to myself, so I'll tell you the truth. Because of this, Commander Xiahou personally came looking for me to settle the score. I was thinking that Commander Kou would come looking for me sooner or later as well. However, after waiting for so long, there was no response from him. I was feeling a little uncomfortable, so I purposely came here to ask Commander Kou why he didn't come looking for me to settle the score?"
Kou Wenlan shook his head for a while, then asked, "If there really was something going on between you and Huangfu Jun, Xiahou would definitely come to you first. Would he even need me to do anything?"
The answer was that simple! Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he walked out of the Commander's Residence. He had been worrying for nothing. He was just overthinking and worrying for nothing.
After confirming that nothing would happen here, Miao Yi finally gathered his courage and went to the Hall of Heroes, holding a gift box in his hand.
