280 Third place Wei Hongfu paused after he finished speaking. He wanted to see their reactions. Ding Ling ‘er seemed to be absent-minded and angry. Yunxiao, on the other hand, was sipping the tea as if he had not heard him, which made him feel embarrassed. “Eh, cough cough! By the way, city Lord of cloud sky City, master Xu zizhuo, the former head of myriad treasures store’s branch in firecrow Empire, asked me to tell you that he would like to thank you for providing him with the recipe of Shaoyang pill.” “The previous Tower Lord?” Yunxiao sipped his tea, then gently put down the cup and said, ” is master Xu zizhuo no longer in his position? ” after master Xu zizhuo went to the sea of soul formation, ” Wei Hongfu said with a smile, ” he was lucky enough to be promoted to a sixth-tier great Alchemist. He’s currently continuing his cultivation in the sea of soul formation, so he’s no longer the head of the firecrow Empire branch.” then, who will take over? ” Yunxiao asked. who will take over? ” Don’t tell me that Lord Wei is personally taking up the position?” Wei Hongfu laughed and said, ” “How can I? although I’m the financial emissary in charge of the southern region branch, I rarely stay here, and I’m not familiar with the internal affairs of firecrow Empire at all. After master Xu zizhuo left, only Yin Zhaoyang and gan Deming were left. Gan Deming was a four-stars martial Grandmaster, stronger than Yin Zhaoyang. He was calm and steady, so he was indeed the best choice. But Yingluo ” He gave Yunxiao a meaningful look, then smiled and said, ” but I heard that Yin Zhaoyang and the cloud sky City Lord have a good relationship. This Lao Ai is really making things difficult for me. Yunxiao cursed the old fox in his heart, but he still kept a bright smile on his face and said, ” this is myriad treasures store’s internal business. Yin Zhaoyang and I do have some personal ties, but does it matter? ” “Of course!” Wei Hongfu said with a serious face,”in order to measure a person’s ability, apart from his own strength and attitude in handling things, his network is also an extremely critical factor.” If Yin Chaoyang can have a good friend like the cloud sky City Lord, then he will definitely be qualified to be the head of the firecrow Empire branch!” Ding Ling ‘er also came back to her senses from her unhappiness, and her eyes flickered. Wei Hongfu was obviously trying to do Yunxiao a favor by saying that. It seemed that he must have something to ask Yunxiao for next, but he did not know what it was. If it was her, she would definitely not agree in a hurry and would make a decision after pushing around. Yunxiao knew this, but he sneered in his heart. Even if he promoted Yin Zhaoyang to be the head of the southern region, he would not accept this favor, let alone promote him to a mere Tower Lord.”Elder Yin’s strength is indeed extraordinary.” Wei Hongfu was stunned. Her words were so vague that he didn’t know what to do. He had a puzzled look on his face. This brat was only so little, why did he speak so old-school? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 Ding Ling ‘er was also looking at Yunxiao in surprise, with a smile in her eyes. but, ” Yunxiao chuckled. elder Yin has indeed given me a lot of help. “That’s good!” Wei Hongfu clapped his hands and laughed.”It seems that Yin Zhaoyang’s brain and vision are still better than gan Deming’s, which is extremely important for a branch head. Then, we’ll make sure that he is the tower master of firecrow Empire.” hehe. Yunxiao chuckled without saying a word and continued to slowly taste his tea. For a moment, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Wei Hongfu had a bitter look on his face. The kid in front of him replied to every word he said. He was like an old fox and couldn’t get anything out of him. He could only go straight to the point.”City Lord of cloud sky City, I heard that you handed over more than 1000 quota crystals to Tianyuan trading company for auction?” “What?” Yunxiao frowned slightly and said, ” “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong?” Ding Ling ‘er also frowned. She seemed to have understood something, and her face darkened. Wei Hongfu rubbed his hands together and smiled. “More than 1000 spots to enter Mount Meru, hehe, this cake is a bit big. Although the people who will be participating in the auction are all from firecrow Empire, I’m sure that there will be a large number of crystals being sold. Not only the other two empires, but even the young geniuses from the other three regions will come one after another.” He gently sipped his tea, stared at Ding Ling ‘er’s eyes, and said indifferently, ” “The auction this time has probably not only shocked the entire southern region, but has also caught the attention of the superpowers on the continent. Will miss ding be able to handle this situation alone?” A trace of anger flashed across Ding Ling ‘er’s face. She snorted coldly and said, ” “I’ve also considered this problem. However, the iron law of the Holy capital is there, and the people of the other three regions can only do things in secret. How dare they do it in the open?” “Tianyuan trading company may not be as good as it used to be, but a starving camel is still bigger than a horse,” she sneered arrogantly.”How can we not support an auction?” Lord Wei, you’re looking down on our Chamber of Commerce!” “Hehe, don’t be so agitated, miss ding.” Wei Hongfu slowly explained, ” “I’m not looking at your Chamber of Commerce. It’s just that your Chamber of Commerce’s main forces are not in the southern mountain range. Miss ding’s power was very limited, and it was too late to mobilize it now. If anything were to go wrong with the auction, not only would cloud sky City suffer a huge loss, but it would also suffer a great loss. It was also an unbearable blow to Tianyuan trading company, which was on the verge of collapse. By then, the weakness of Tianyuan trading company will be exposed to all the forces.” Ding Ling ‘er’s face changed slightly, and there was indeed a struggle in her eyes. The auction was undoubtedly a great opportunity to show the strength of Tianyuan trading company to all the forces. However, if she failed, the result would be something she could not bear. When Yunxiao presented the auction opportunity to her, she was so happy that she almost fainted. However, a series of questions immediately popped up in her mind. She immediately sent a letter back to the headquarters of Tianyuan trading company, asking for help from experts, afraid that they wouldn’t be able to control the situation. However, just as Wei Hongfu had said, it was too late. He was afraid that the auction would have already started by the time the experts of Tianyuan trading company arrived. The entire city of Yanwu had been temporarily sealed off by a barrier set up by the three major forces. Everyone had gathered in Shangyang city, and there were crooks mixed in with the honest folk everywhere. If she had not been discovered by Wei Hongfu today, she would not have known that the people from the Mando Chamber of Commerce had also arrived. It was possible that disciples from other merchant unions would also come, and Tianyuan trading company would be eager to make a fool of themselves, or even try to make things difficult for them. At the thought of this, Ding Ling ‘er looked even more worried. Wei Hongfu saw through her worries and was secretly delighted. He immediately struck while the iron was hot.”If miss ding were to host this auction together with our myriad treasures store, it would be very different. Not only will there be no problem, but it will also send a vague signal to the world, making them think that Tianyuan trading company and myriad treasures store have a certain tacit understanding. To your Chamber of Commerce, this is also a great benefit.” Ding Ling ‘er’s face was full of struggle, and her heart began to hesitate. Although there were many benefits in cooperating with the myriad Treasure Tower, the drawbacks were also enormous. She could not make up her mind for a moment, so she looked at Yunxiao pleadingly, wanting to hear his opinion. But on second thought, he smiled bitterly in his heart. Yunxiao was just a talented young man, and he had amazing talent in martial arts. How could a fifteen-year-old youth like him know about such business matters and the infighting between forces? he immediately shook his head slightly. When Yunxiao saw the struggle on her face, he laughed and said, ” this is good. It’s more secure to find a few more forces to cooperate with. Ding Ling ‘er smiled bitterly and thought, ” As expected, this silly boy only knew how to cultivate. How could things be so simple? Wei Hongfu immediately smiled like a flower and said happily, ” “Haha, the city Lord is right. If they worked together, it would be beneficial to both sides, but if they were separated, it would be harmful to both sides. Hahaha.” Yunxiao laughed as well, but the smile on his face suddenly disappeared as he said calmly, ” “However, cooperation is cooperation, but the primary and secondary needs to be clear. Tianyuan trading company will be the main force of this auction, and myriad treasures store will be the auxiliary force. This point must be made clear!” Ding Ling ‘er’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Yunxiao in surprise, her eyes filled with emotion. This was also what she was most conflicted about. If they were to cooperate, myriad treasures store would definitely be the main force. At that time, Tianyuan trading company would become a vassal. What would people think of it? However, Wei Hongfu would never agree to let myriad treasures store be ranked second. As expected, Wei Hongfu immediately shook his head in shock after hearing that. “What? Impossible, this was impossible. My myriad treasures store is the head of the seven merchant Union, how can we be ranked second!” Yunxiao smiled and said, ” “Don’t worry. If myriad treasures store wants to interfere in this auction, I won’t let you be the second place.” “Eh? You mean Yingluo?” Wei Hongfu was a little stunned, and Ding Ling ‘er also looked puzzled. third! Yunxiao said word by word. third! He looked at the two of them whose mouths could fit watermelons and said, ” “After hearing what you said just now, I’m really afraid that things will go wrong. So, I’m going to ask master Baili to participate in this with the power of The Alchemist Association to assist Tianyuan trading company. If myriad treasures store also has this intention, I will naturally welcome it very much.” “This bi an ...” Wei Hongfu was completely dumbfounded. He did not expect that his words would attract the attention of a giant like The Alchemist Association. Although myriad treasures store was a powerful existence on the continent, it was still not on the same level as The Alchemist Association. The Alchemist Association is a Supreme existence, ” he said unhappily. how could they participate in this kind of auction? ” Yunxiao chuckled and said leisurely, ” Lord Wei doesn’t need to worry about this. You only need to consider whether myriad treasures store is willing to be third and participate in hosting this auction. Ding Ling ‘er’s heart was moved, and she was so excited that she couldn’t express it. She knew that Yunxiao seemed to have a mysterious relationship with The Alchemist Association, but she did not expect that he could ask Baili gongjin to help him. As a sixth-tier Alchemist, Baili gongjin’s status was extremely noble. Not to mention The Alchemist Association itself was extremely powerful, even if Baili gongjin was the only one in charge, it was enough to intimidate all kinds of people.
