2886 He was in a bad mood.
“So she’s a disciple of the ethereal sect residence. If it was the former ethereal sect residence, I would have given her some face. But now, it’s just a fourth rank sect residence. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” After listening to Ling Chuxi’s background, Jing Ziyu said disdainfully.
“This lowly one also heard that the pill Heart Pavilion and the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce had long been at odds with each other. In the past few years, they had been suppressed by their opponents to the point where it was difficult to continue. However, because of Ling Chuxi, they managed to turn things around and caused the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce to suffer a few losses. Even The Alchemist Grandmaster Zhi Han, who was hired by the Chamber of Commerce, lost to her in a few open and secret battles. This Ling Chuxi seemed to have some tricks up her sleeve. Young master, where do you think we should start?” The servant continued to gossip, silently instigating.
“Pill master Zhi Han?” Jing Ziyu suddenly froze and asked,”what is the background of this alchemy Grandmaster Zhi Han?”
“I didn’t manage to find out about this. It’s said that she’s a woman with a mysterious background. She’s about the same age as Ling Chuxi and is extremely cold and beautiful. Her alchemy skills are also extraordinary. However, she was unlucky and happened to meet that Ling Chuxi. Every time, she was ruthlessly stepped on by her.” The servant said these words with some bitterness. After all, it seemed like he was boosting other people’s morale and diminishing his own prestige.
“A woman of mysterious origins. Her age is similar to Ling Chuxi ‘s. She is extremely cold and elegant. Her alchemy skills are extraordinary.” A strange light suddenly flashed in Jing Ziyu’s eyes. He muttered to himself excitedly,”could it be her?”
“Who is it?” The servant boy asked, not knowing who he was talking about.
“Where is the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce?” Jing Ziyu asked as he grabbed the manservant’s shoulder.
“Their shop is right there. Eh, why is there no one there?” The manservant hurriedly turned around and pointed in pain. However, there was no one in front of the shop. Even the door was closed. The words “Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce” were written in bold and flamboyant characters. It looked particularly lonely.
“Go, find a carriage in the city. We’ll go to the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce now.” Jing Ziyu instructed.
……
Xiang Gaoyuan was not in a good mood today.
Ever since the pillheart Pavilion had stolen the limelight at the auction a few days ago, the rising abundance Chamber of Commerce had lost all face. Their image in the hearts of the various aristocratic families and sect abodes had plummeted. Many of the aristocratic families and sect abodes that had already agreed to cooperate changed their minds and began to lean toward the pillheart Pavilion.
If it was just a matter of reputation, it would be fine. His Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce was a big business and would not be so depressed because of this. However, Ling Chuxi had scammed millions of family assets from him at the heavenly treasure meet last time, and his strength had been greatly affected.
In order to support zhihan’s refining of the special grade Saint breakthrough pill, the already stretched account suddenly lost a large amount of money. As a result, this myriad elixir feast was not well prepared, and they did not bring out any decent elixir.
When the ten thousand pill banquet had just started, many people had come to appraise it because of the rising abundance Chamber of Commerce’s reputation, but they had been greatly disappointed. In the end, not even a ghost could be seen.
Xiang Gaoyuan felt even worse when he saw the crowd in front of the pill Heart Pavilion’s shop. He decided to close the shop. Out of sight, out of mind.
“This won’t do. This isn’t a solution. We must return the pillheart Pavilion to its original state.” Although Xiang Gaoyuan had already realized that Ling Chuxi was not someone to be trifled with, he had already worked hard for ten years to defeat the pillheart Pavilion. How could he give up at this juncture?
However, if Ling Chuxi was implicated, who knew what kind of tricks that little brat would play?
With mixed feelings, Xiang Gaoyuan didn’t even take a car and walked back to the Xing Feng Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, he still didn’t know that an uninvited guest had come to the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce.
