Chapter 1029: Food and accommodation are provided
After reciting the poem, Mo Cheng was driven out.
Ling Ying said that there were still many government affairs that needed to be dealt with, and she directly pushed Mo Cheng out of her office, but Mo Cheng always felt that the reason was not what she said.
Just looking at the closed door, Mo Cheng didn't dare to rush in to ask, so he had to leave scratching the back of his head in confusion.
The scholar who was leaving had no idea that behind the door, the girl's cheeks were flushed with shyness and she couldn't express it in words. Her fingers touched the door but she quickly ran away.
By the time , the scholar had already walked away.
Even though Ling Ying, who usually handled various affairs calmly and steadily, and was highly praised by the Lord, could not help but stamp her feet and act like a little girl, "Just leave like that..."
…
After leaving Ling Ying's place, Mo Cheng wandered on the street for a while. When he came to his senses, it was already dawn.
As his strength increased, especially after Mo Cheng's strength had ascended to become an [Immortal], his sense of time was beginning to dull.
This is not a bad thing, but in order to prevent himself from waking up one day and suddenly finding that more than ten or even hundreds of years have passed, Mo Cheng still used a lot of means to keep himself sensitive to time.
With the extra-dimensional power provided by the hero template of [Faceless Void], he can continue to maintain his keen sense of time.
Then Mo Cheng had no plan to go anywhere in particular. He just walked casually, passed the market, passed the city gate, left footprints among the mountains and forests, and then came across another city.
Wandering aimlessly, even Mo Cheng didn't know where he was going, and his mind was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
In the dimness, he felt that something was resisting him, as if trying to push him away, and at the same time, something was binding him like a rope.
It was unknown how long this feeling lasted. When Mo Cheng opened his eyes again, a hint of clarity flashed through his sleepy eyes.
At the same time, he clearly recalled the feeling he had in the haze before and gained a new understanding of it.
The world was pushing him away.
Perhaps because of Mo Huaiyuan, the Heavenly Dao consciousness did not shout for war and killing as before. If before it was just you swinging a broom to chase people away, then just now it felt like serving tea to see the guests off.
That is expressing an attitude and hoping that the person involved can leave on their own.
"It looks like I won't be able to stay for long."
The tasks on his body were almost completed, and Mo Cheng had anticipated that he would have to leave soon. It would take a month at the fastest and a few months at the slowest. When the time was up, he would definitely not be able to stay here any longer.
"Well, let's go and arrange the affairs of the Qilin Department first."
Mo Cheng knew very well that his journey would never end, but the promises he made along the way would eventually have to be fulfilled.
The Qilin Tribe and Tushan Yi have been following him for quite some time, and they have never slacked off during the battles. Mo Cheng felt that it was necessary to help them find new owners before leaving.
Thinking of this, Mo Cheng had a new goal .
…
"Master Yueyao, it's not that we are trying to refuse, but we really don't have any extra money."
"Yes, we have suffered heavy losses from the demonic bandits and have been seriously injured. We really have no choice but to take out funds at this time."
Yue Yao looked calm, as if she had not heard the complaints from the representatives of the various chambers of commerce, but in fact she felt very helpless in her heart.
She knew that among the disasters caused by the Ten Directions Demon Bandits, these people suffered the least losses for some reasons. Not only were they the ones who suffered the least openly, they even made a lot of money secretly.
As for what exactly is earned, that is something that cannot be said in person.
Once it is said, there will be no point in discussing the following matters.
At the same time, Yue Yao was still secretly cursing these old foxes in her heart. She knew very well that these people’s complaints were not because they really had no funds, but that they did not intend to use them.
Or even if they do give it up, they will have to give up some of their power.
It's a very greedy move, but if they weren't greedy, the Chamber of Commerce behind this group of people wouldn't have been able to reach its current scale.
Amid the noise of many chamber of commerce representatives, an old man with white hair and beard coughed twice, causing the other chamber of commerce representatives to immediately quiet down.
Yue Yao knew very well that these chambers of commerce had united together, and that this old man was the leader. Their purpose was very simple, which was to get a big bite of the profits.
The old man cleared his throat and said, "We also know the difficulties that Master Yueyao is facing. We also ask Master Yueyao to understand our difficulties. Although there is solid evidence about the [World Chamber of Commerce], the guys under us are all illiterate and rough guys. It is really difficult to get them to come and work."
This was complete nonsense. After all, Yue Yao was only discussing business interests with these chamber of commerce representatives, and it had nothing to do with their subordinates.
"So what do you think should be done to make the difficulties disappear?"
The old man stroked his beard and said, "I'm afraid that Master Yueyao will need to mortgage some things..."
What to mortgage, the industry of [Nanli Daoyu], or certain powers, or even land, no matter what it is, these people probably want a lot.
But this is how the game is played. Just as Yue Yao was thinking about how to bargain, a stream of light flew out and landed on the table next to the old man.
At the same time, there were words filled with a lazy tone, "How about mortgaging this?"
Everyone subconsciously looked over, and the thing turned out to be a hexagram-shaped ice crystal. The shape immediately reminded the Chamber of Commerce representatives of an object.
"Exotic treasure?!"
Along with the many things Mo Cheng has done, the name of [Exotic Treasure] and its efficacy have long spread throughout the world. Everyone knows that [Exotic Treasure] is enough to become the foundation of a thousand-year dynasty or a ten-thousand-year family.
"Yes, this is it. Do you want it?"
Facing the questions from the Chamber of Commerce representatives, Mo Cheng showed a very evil smile.
…
The subsequent conversation was in the business field. To be honest, Mo Cheng didn't understand much, but looking at Yue Yao's smile, he could probably guess that she should have the upper hand.
While Yueyao was happy, Mo Cheng also made a request at the right time.
"You mean to let the Qilin tribe work under me?" Yue Yao thought for a while and did not refuse. "Okay, but what conditions did you give them before?"
Even without the halo, the warriors of the Qilin tribe are still a group of elite soldiers, not to mention that they are a tribe that fought their way out of the [Jueming Mountains].
The [Jueming Mountains] were formed when the aura of the [Hungry Ghost Realm] invaded this world and evolved. If Mo Cheng's [Six Paths of Reincarnation] design is correct, the warriors of the Qilin Tribe already have some qualities of the [Hungry Ghost Realm] soldiers.
Fortunately, Mo Cheng had severed their connection with the Jueming Mountains long ago. In addition, the Jueming Mountains were not the main body of the Hungry Ghost Realm after all. Otherwise, becoming a soldier of the Hungry Ghost Realm would basically be the same fate as never being reborn.
"As long as we provide food and lodging, that's fine."
