Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

It was still early, but it was already very lively within the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce's first floor.    

    

As the former second largest merchant guild, the throughput of its Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was extremely high. Every morning, many hawkers and merchants would come here to pick up their goods.    

    

The main hall of the first floor was facing these lower class customers.    

    

Along the way, many people greeted Gongsun Shun. Gongsun Shun responded one by one with a smile as he led Chen Yu to a stone room at the side of the lobby.    

    

There was a manager guarding this place. After saluting Gongsun Shun, he took out a jade plate and placed it in a circular groove at the side of the stone room. Then, he opened the stone room.    

    

The stone room was completely closed, but Gongsun Shun led Chen Yu inside.    

    

After a short while, Chen Yu saw the formation's spirit pattern light up and circulate unceasingly. In the next moment, the entire stone room started to move, moving straight up at a fast speed, as if it was soaring into the sky.    

    

Chen Yu revealed a surprised expression as he looked at Gongsun Shun.    

    

"This is the Azure Cloud Stairway, in fact, it's just a ladder!" Gongsun Shun smiled and said, "But it is controlled by an array directly from the top to the bottom of the building to avoid the suffering of the tall building!"    

    

Chen Yu could not help but be extremely interested as he said, "Was that the formation master who controlled the Azure Cloud Stairway just now?"    

    

Gongsun Shun nodded, "Yes, every floor has an array master guarding it. Just the operation of this ladder is a huge expense. Regardless of whether it is the Spirit Crystal s or the expenses for nurturing array masters, both are extremely expensive! "    

    

Chen Yu asked again in detail and understood the advantages and disadvantages of the Green Cloud Stairway. He understood that it was very expensive and it was easy to make mistakes, so if there were any mistakes, the person in the room would be trapped inside.    

    

Even if it was Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he would only open the Azure Cloud Stairway when his esteemed guest arrived.    

    

Very soon, the sound of the stone room stopped and the door opened. Outside the door was not the first floor of the building, but the eleventh.    

    

Gongsun Shun called Chen Yu and walked out of the Green Cloud Staircase. They arrived at an open door and opened it.    

    

Inside the door was a quiet room. There was a bench for people to rest on, and there was also a door inside.    

    

Gongsun Shun knocked on the door and said, "Madam, I've brought Young Master Meng!"    

    

"Come in!" Ling Yuxuan's voice came from inside.    

    

Pushing the door open and entering, Chen Yu saw Ling Yuxuan sitting cross-legged on a soft chair. In front of him was a low, sandalwood table. A pot of spirit tea had been brewed on the table.    

    

"Young Master Meng, please take a seat and drink your tea. Uncle Shun, Yanzi, stand guard in the outer room. Do not let anyone in!" Seeing Chen Yu, Ling Yuxuan's expression was calm as he pointed at the jade praying mat in front of him.    

    

Gongsun Shun and Ruan Yim went outside to wait.    

    

Looking at Ling Yuxuan's calm expression, Chen Yu felt a little uneasy as if he was a completely different person from last night when he was angry.    

    

But soon, Chen Yu calmed down and sat on the soft seat opposite Ling Yuxuan.    

    

"Young master, please drink some tea. I personally brewed three hundred years of Jade Clouds Tea. This tea is also known as Small Enlightenment Tea. It can often be used to enhance one's heaven's will, making it easier for people to enter the state of enlightenment!" Ling Yuxuan said with a smile.    

    

Chen Yu picked up his tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.    

    

When the tea water entered his stomach, it was truly refreshing.    

    

Ling Yuxuan held the teapot in his hand and poured another cup for Chen Yu, saying, "Looks like Young Master is open-minded and isn't worried that I'll poison your tea!"    

    

When Chen Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't think Madam will be so ruthless!"    

    

Even though he said that, Chen Yu wasn't afraid of poison, as he had the Spirit Connecting Vine, ordinary poison would not be effective on him.    

    

"Last night, I lost my composure for a moment and let the young master laugh!" Ling Yuxuan smiled sweetly. The smile was like the spring wind melting the snow, causing the entire room to become bright and beautiful.    

    

"How dare you?" Under Ling Yuxuan's beautiful face, this bright smile made Chen Yu slightly absent-minded as he said, "What happened last night was indeed my fault!"    

    

"From a businessman's point of view, things have already happened, so we can only look for ways to deal with it and try to keep our own interests safe." Ling Yuxuan said, "After a night, I have calmed down and thought a lot about this matter. "He even thought of quietly killing the young master and making the events of last night a secret that no one knew about!    

    

Chen Yu felt a chill in his heart.    

    

Chen Yu, who had already fallen into Ling Yuxuan's trap once, naturally knew that Ling Yuxuan wasn't a good man or woman. However, when she said her evil thoughts so plainly, it still made him scared.    

    

"But if I did, Zhi might really fall out with me!" Wu Tie said, "Then, I think over and over again, there is only one way out, and that is for Young Master Meng to leave the capital immediately after receiving the promised reward, and leave the Qin Country! Young Master, what do you think? "    

    

Chen Yu was stunned, then slowly but firmly shook his head and slowly said, "I can't do it!"    

    

Ling Yuxuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Young Noble Yu, this humble one has owed you a great favor, and I do not wish to fall out with you. Young Noble should think about it carefully, not only for yourself, but also for Zhi, and me and Feiyun Chamber of Commerce!"    

    

"There's no need to consider it further!" Wu Tie said in a deep voice, "Since Gongsun Zhiwei is already my woman, no matter if it's Third Prince or anyone else, they can't change my mind. Even if I die because of this, I can't leave Gongsun Zhiwei alone! "    

    

"Is there really no need to consider any further?" Ling Yuxuan frowned and said coldly, "You have to know, if I want to take your life, you can't leave this house. What's more, someone like Third Prince has attacked you! "    

    

Wu Tie replied in a deep voice, "There's no need to think about it. It's just like last night when I said that I would shoulder it alone. Regardless of whether I can handle it or not, I will still shoulder the burden. This is where my heart of martial arts lies. As for Third Prince, if Madam has no other choice, then push everything onto me! "    

    

"Heart of Martial Arts?" Ling Yuxuan didn't move his hand that was holding the teapot. His expression changed several times and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.    

    

Seeing that Ling Yuxuan didn't even try to hide the change in his mood, Chen Yu was secretly shocked. He thought for a moment and said: "Madam, you've thought about it for an entire night and you've come up with such an idea for me to escape?"    

    

"Do you have a better solution?" Ling Yuxuan said expressionlessly.    

    

If this woman was just trying to persuade him out of good intentions, then after seeing Chen Yu's resolute attitude, she had truly decided to kill him!    

    

Obviously, in Ling Yuxuan's opinion, Chen Yu leaving alone was the best outcome. However, the result of the second level was that it killed Chen Yu, with the intention of killing Gongsun Zhiwei.    

    

As for the favor of saving Chen Yu, it was forgotten by Ling Yuxuan.    

    

It was true that Gongsun Zhiwei was unwilling to marry Third Prince as a concubine, but with Ling Yuxuan's methods, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to hold Gongsun Zhiwei back.    

    

"Ha ha!" After understanding Ling Yuxuan's thoughts, Chen Yu's heartstrings were already taut. Seeing that Ling Yuxuan could make a move at any time, he suddenly burst out laughing.    

    

"What are you laughing at?" Ling Yuxuan said coldly.    

    

"I'm laughing." Chen Yu raised his teacup and downed it in one gulp. He said, "I'm laughing! No wonder Madam would fall into such a predicament!"    

    

"What do you mean?" Ling Yuxuan said coldly.    

    

"Madame, are you ready to kill me?" Chen Yu said, "Lady Yu can throw away her life at will. How cold is Madam's heart? It's no wonder that even with Madame Gongsun's status, she was unable to control the Chamber of Commerce! "    

    

"You …" Ling Yuxuan's face turned pale.    

    

"I once heard a wise senior say that the smarter a woman is, the smaller her standing is!" Chen Yu suddenly stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back. He pretended to be smart and said, "I thought it was a prejudice, but now it seems that it's true!"    

    

"What are you trying to say?" Ling Yuxuan said coldly.    

    

"Does the Lady even have this little bit of patience?" Chen Yu's back was already covered in cold sweat.    

    

With Chen Yu's keen perception, he clearly felt that Ling Yuxuan was different from last night, if only he attacked in anger last night. Today, Ling Yuxuan had already calculated everything. After confirming Chen Yu's answer, he had already made up his mind to kill!    

    

Today, there was no Gongsun Zhiwei blocking him, so if Ling Yuxuan took action, Chen Yu would have no chance of survival. Even if he wanted to fight with the Blood King Bow, Chen Yu had to have the chance to take out the Blood King Bow.    

    

Chen Yu had seen Ling Yuxuan's strength before, killing five experts of the middle and late stages of Profound Dark Stage in a few breaths of time.    

    

For Chen Yu, there was only one way left, and that was to convince this woman who claimed to be smart.    

    

While pretending to point fingers, Chen Yu quickly deliberated over what to say and slowly said: "I, Madam Xiao, am overestimating myself!"    

    

"Hmm?" Ling Yuxuan's tone turned cold as he was about to release his domain.    

    

"Madam has used the Cyan Heaven Jade Seal as a bargaining chip, so she wants to fully control the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and win over the various families to form an alliance with you. It's a good idea, but it's one-sided! " Chen Yu thought about Ling Yuxuan's obsession and casually said, "After leaving the Mingyue County, the reason why Madam has been able to remain unharmed is entirely because of Luo Hantian. Does Madame not understand this? "    

    

"How am I wishful thinking?" Ling Yuxuan's tone turned cold.    

    

"How can a rabbit be friends with a lion?" Chen Yu said: "Even the Martial Cultivator of the Deity Entering Stage is moved by Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's cave abode. Madam used the Cyan Heaven Jade Seal as a bargaining chip, wanting Martial Cultivator of the Deity Entering Stage to become your supporter, but did not know that Madam's strength is not enough in front of the Martial Cultivator of the Deity Entering Stage, and can be swallowed by Deity Entering Stage warriors at any time."    

    

Ling Yuxuan sneered and said, "That's it?"    

    

Of course, Chen Yu knew what he was talking about, Ling Yuxuan must have already expected this. He continued to organize his thoughts and said, "Madam, you are planning to walk on the steel wire, and you will definitely fall into an irreparable situation!"    

    

"Meng Yang, I don't have time to waste on you. In the end, I'll give you one last choice. Leave the capital today, and leave the Qin Country. Ling Yuxuan sneered, "If you continue to persevere with your heart of martial arts, don't blame me for repaying you with kindness and making you disappear from this world!"    

    

As he spoke, Ling Yuxuan's divine will had already locked onto Chen Yu. Even if Chen Yu were to break through the window, he would not be able to escape.    

    

Ungrateful and ungrateful saying it so naturally, Chen Yu felt that he shouldn't covet the reward that this woman promised.    

    

"Whatever!" Chen Yu let out a long sigh. Under Ling Yuxuan's disdainful gaze, he said leisurely, "Mrs. Gongsun, I didn't want to break your hopes, but you insisted on doing so. Do you think your alliance with Luo Hantian is as reliable as you think? Do you really think that those aristocratic children who are close to you will stand on your side? Why wouldn't they stand by the Great Clan Elder's side? "    

    

Ling Yuxuan's expression changed slightly.
