C727 Master of the Chamber of Commerce
C727 Master of the Chamber of Commerce
"This is indeed the only way!" One of them said, "Even if we can't get Third Prince's forgiveness, it's good for us to quell his anger a little!"
Chen Yu looked at the person who agreed, and saw that the one who said this was Deacon Lin he had interacted with before. Chen Yu remembered that his name was Lin Suanzhong.
"I'm afraid this won't do any good!" Wei Duo frowned: "Third Prince has many hanger-ons and more than a dozen late stage Profound Dark Stage. Once he makes a move, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him. Elder Meng had just defeated Zhang Li and Grandma Zhang in a row, so he was considered a strong fighter in the Chamber of Commerce. "After handing him over, the strength of the Yu Merchant Guild would be a huge loss!
"Elder Meng, it's you who should say it!" Xie Renzu said in a deep voice, "The trouble was caused by you, the company needs an explanation from you!"
"What kind of explanation can he give?" Ling Yuxuan mocked.
Chen Yu glanced at Ling Yuxuan, and said calmly: "Madam, when you invited me to go with you at Mingyue County, you didn't say that, did you?"
Ling Yuxuan was gnashing his teeth. She was a very smart person. Of course, he knew that Chen Yu's words were on purpose to mention the fact that he saved her life.
"Grand Elder, you're right. I am the cause of this matter. I need to give the Chamber of Commerce an explanation!" Chen Yu stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Everyone is discussing that I should be handed over to Third Prince to quell my anger. I will not resist. But I am sorry for you all! "
"What did you say?" Lin Shizhong said angrily.
Another deacon also sternly rebuked, "Meng Yang, you are only a barbarian. You have caused a calamity, yet you dare to spout nonsense?"
Chen Yu looked at Lin Suanzhong and sneered, "What a calamity? I, who have caused trouble, have not yet done anything, but you are all trembling with fear. Not bad, I have implicated you, but look at your performance, tsk, do you have the courage of a warrior? You guys have been immersed in the pursuit of profit, have you forgotten the character of a cultivator? "
"You Meng fella, you want to die, but you dragged us along? You actually have the nerve to do so?"
"A barbarian from the countryside is a barbarian from the countryside. He doesn't know the limits of the heavens and the earth!"
"This kind of person is actually a guest elder of a merchant guild? Madam, have you seen the true face of this person? "
Chen Yu sneered and said, "A bunch of idiots!"
Lin Chengzhong's eyebrows jumped, the aura of his Middle Period of the Profound Dark Stage burst forth and his domain was about to spread out, but he still had the impulse to directly attack.
"Enough!" Xie Renzu shouted, "Elder Meng, you'd better give an explanation about this!"
Chen Yu said coldly, "What is there to explain? The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was swaying in the wind and rain, attracting the greed of many. They had become fish on the chopping block for the various families and royalty. They did not seek to become stronger, nor did they intend to protect themselves. They did not want to show their true strength in order to intimidate the berserk red jackals. But you only know how to yield and compromise. If it's not laughable and pathetic, then what is? "
"You people have probably been merchants for too long and have completely forgotten the law of the jungle in the world of martial dao. Do you think you can obtain peace by enduring and retreating?" Chen Yu continued: "Just like this, you all still want to protect the wealth that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has accumulated for over twenty years? I think it's more like daydreaming. Just a mere Third Prince, with his peak Profound Dark Stage strength, who is around the same as you deacons, dare to extend his claws towards Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and make you guys so afraid. Hehe, when the Deity Entering Stage experts from the ten great families make their move, other than you guys being the first to kill them, what else can you do other than give up your foundation that you guys painstakingly built up? "
The faces of the higher ups of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce all became gloomy and unsightly, even Qin Jiming and Wei Duo were the same.
Chen Yu's words were too unpleasant to listen to. Basically, he was about to directly call them cowardly, cowardly trash.
"What do you understand?" One of the deacons coldly scolded, "You've only just joined the company, you don't understand the situation at all. It's just that your waist doesn't hurt to stand and talk!"
"That's right. For a villain like you, you only know how to make sarcastic remarks!"
"With regards to the Chamber of Commerce, is it even your turn to be so talkative as a guest elder?"
"…"
Chen Yu sneered and looked at Xie Renzu without bothering to say anything else.
"Elder Meng isn't without reason!" Xie Renzu finally opened his mouth, his voice was loud like a bell, and said: "A weak retreat, will only make others think you can be bullied. "Madame, what do you think?"
Ling Yuxuan's gaze became uncertain, and stared at Chen Yu. She suspected that Chen Yu did it on purpose, and used the opportunity to drag the entire Feiyun Chamber of Commerce into the water to help him fight against Third Prince.
"This kid is just spouting big words!" Ling Yuxuan said, "When the matter is about to come to an end, Third Prince invited Luo Xiuyuan to restrain the Great Elder. We would not be Third Prince's match. What's more, Liu Tie's status is very high, so it's hard to say whether or not Expert of the Deity Entering Stage will take action for him in the palace! "
"Madam is right!" Lin Shizhong said: "Talking is just talking. When the situation comes to an end, who can take responsibility?"
The other deacons also voiced their agreement. Amongst the seven deacons, only Xie Renzong and the burly deacon that Xie Renzu commanded did not reprimand them.
Chen Yu was a little tired of this kind of situation. He was too lazy to speak anymore and looked at Xie Renzu.
"Elder Meng, can you handle it?" Xie Renzu said with a smile.
"Sure!" Wu Tie said expressionlessly, "Let me point you out a path." You can all act as cowards and let Third Prince vent his anger on me. After I die, you will kneel and kowtow in front of Third Prince, begging him to forgive, willing to be his slave. "With Third Prince's false name as Corporal Li Wei, he shouldn't want your lives!"
"How dare you!"
"What do you mean?"
The crowd angrily rebuked him again.
Qin Jiming said leisurely, "Elder Meng repeatedly humiliated us. Do you think we really can't do anything to you?"
Chen Yu shrugged and said lightly, "You guys only have this little bit of potential for internal conflict, you can do whatever you want!"
With that, Chen Yu turned around and looked at Gongsun Zhiwei, he could not be bothered with Ling Yuxuan and Qin Jiming anymore.
When their eyes met, Chen Yu suddenly saw the corner of Gongsun Zhiwei's mouth slightly rise and a smile appear on her face.
Chen Yu's slightly haggard face turned bright as a result of this faint smile. Then, he saw Gongsun Zhiwei walk towards him.
Chen Yu's attitude completely infuriated Qin Jiming. He looked at Ling Yuxuan and Xie Renzu and said, "Madam, Great Elder, I suggest that Meng Yang's guest elder position be taken away first. Take him down and hand him over to His Highness, Third Prince! "
Ling Yuxuan remained silent.
"I don't agree!" Before Ling Yuxuan and Xie Renzu could open their mouths, a vigorous and thunderous voice sounded, "I think what Elder Meng said is right. In this matter, we cannot be weak. We must protect Elder Meng and the young miss with all our might. Otherwise the company will really be finished! "
Everyone turned their heads and saw the one who spoke was the burly Second Administrator, Zhao Hong.
"Zhao Hong, what are you talking about?"
"Second deacon, you speak quite easily. You think you can protect this barbarian who had caused such a disaster with all your might? The entire Chamber of Commerce will die with him! "
"…"
Zhao Hong's rebuttal could not be stopped. Zhao Hong was not good with words. His face turned red at once, and his eyes flashed with deep anger and disappointment.
At this moment, Xie Renzu opened his mouth and said, "I agree with Zhao Hong's words. I will protect Elder Meng and First Miss with all my might!"
This time, Xie Renzu's voice was filled with the powerful divine intent of Deity Entering Stage. With that, he suppressed all different voices.
After Xie Renzu's voice stopped, there was a few seconds of silence. Then, the Third Elder, Wei Duo, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I agree as well!"
"I agree as well!" Xie Renzong expressed his stance right after.
Qin Jiming opened his mouth in shock.
Ling Yuxuan was also stunned, and the other deacons were also surprised.
Chen Yu was also surprised and looked at Xie Renzu.
Then, most of the people's eyes were focused on Ling Yuxuan's beautiful face.
Ling Yuxuan gritted his teeth and said, "I have no objections!"
The others were speechless and could no longer refute his words.
Amongst the people present, Xie Renzu had the highest status and the strongest strength. With his opinion, it was already enough to control the situation, not to mention Ling Yuxuan and Wei Duo also agreed.
Thus, even Qin Jiming became silent.
"Since you have no objections, let's do it!" Xie Renzu said in a deep voice, "Other than that, there is another thing. Guild Leader Gongsun had been missing for three years. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. In this precarious situation, the Chamber of Commerce will need a new President to take care of this matter! "
The faces of the upper echelons of each company changed drastically.
Ling Yuxuan's pretty face instantly turned pale. She stared at Xie Renzu with intense hatred in her eyes.
Qin Jiming's eyes flashed, "Then, the Great Elder, who do you think will be the new leader? Great Clan Elder, are you? "
"Great Elder's strength is the strongest and his prestige is the highest. It is only natural for him to be the leader!" Lin Shengzhong opened his mouth.
"Indeed!"
Most people remained silent.
"It's not me!" Xie Renzu waved his hand and said: "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is the hard work of Guild Master Gongsun, he has the largest share. Back then, when I made an agreement with Master Gongsun to create the company, he took sixty percent, I took twenty percent, while Elder Qin and Elder Wei took ten percent each. The agreement was still stored in the Chamber of Commerce's treasury. How can I take over a magpie's nest? "
Quite a few of the ten deacons frowned as they looked at Ling Yuxuan.
If Xie Renzu didn't want to be the leader, then the only choice left would be Ling Yuxuan. In their eyes, this result wasn't as good as Xie Renzu being the Guild Master, but it wasn't impossible either.
Ling Yuxuan was also surprised, his expression was filled with anticipation. She wanted to be a guild leader for more than a day or two. It was just that Xie Renzu had never relented, and many people in the Chamber of Commerce objected.
"I propose that Elder Meng Yang assume the position of the guild leader!" However, Xie Renzu held back his curiosity and said without any hurry.
The crowd burst into an uproar when they heard this.
"How can that be?"
"Absolutely not!"
"…"
"Is Grand Elder confused?" Qin Jiming did not care about etiquette anymore and directly rebuked: "A barbarian who had just joined the Chamber of Commerce for less than a few months to become the leader? Where do you intend to place the Chamber of Commerce? "
"Exactly!"
"This fellow just caused a disaster for the company. Isn't it too absurd for him to become the leader?"
"…"
Even Zhao Hong, who said that he wanted to protect Chen Yu, had a face full of disagreement.
Ling Yuxuan opened and closed his mouth, shocked beyond words.
Chen Yu was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he was surprised by Xie Renzu's courage.
However, it was not strange. Xie Renzu, who was able to step into the Deity Entering Stage Realm and establish such a huge foundation and wealth together with Gongsun Feiyun, was definitely not a simple person.
In the past, Xie Renzu might only have never let go of his greed towards Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Once Ling Yuxuan completely abandoned his greed, his intelligence and charisma would be far greater than Ling Yuxuan's!
In the bottom of his heart, however, there was not the slightest bit of excitement or anticipation. Towards the position of the host of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, deep down, he only wanted to keep it a distance. However, he also knew that if he didn't want to die at Third Prince's hands, it would be best if he could get the position of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce Master!
