Wan Shihao knelt on the ground in despair and fear.
His big backer, the person he thought he could rely on to be arrogant for the rest of his life, was now kneeling beside him, bowing his head and not daring to disobey.
The Sect Master of the South Feather Sect, the number one sect in Luxi County, was actually 'invited' by someone else. Moreover, he was forcibly dragged out from the sect and forced to kneel on the ground.
Wan Shihao almost fainted. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that the powerful South Feather Sect would face such a day.
He had really suffered retribution. It was not that he did not want it, it was just that the time had not come.
Moreover, it was only because the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce had snatched a piece of land from He Xiuniang.
Such a small matter was nothing in the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce. He would not pay attention to it and would usually leave it to his subordinates.
The evil deeds that the Myriad Treasure Chamber of Commerce had done were much worse than this.
In his opinion, snatching He Xiuniang's restaurant was not a big deal.
However, he did not expect that such a small matter would cause him to be consigned to eternal damnation and caused the entire South Feather Sect to kneel down in humiliation.
"You are the Sect Leader of South Feather Sect?
I was discussing a deal with the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce and was prepared to buy the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce for one copper coin. However, the President of the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce said that you must agree to it.
Now, I am asking you, do you agree to it? "
Xi Qianye put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Wei Changfeng indifferently.
"I agree."
Wei Changfeng lowered his head and smiled bitterly. How could he not agree to it?
The Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce controlled half of South Feather Sect's assets and many of the businesses were managed by Wan Shihao. Losing the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce was equivalent to losing half of South Feather Sect's assets.
However, he had no choice. He knew that he had to pay the price for his wrongdoings. South Feather Sect could afford to lose their assets.
What he was most worried about was that the young man in front of him would not let South Feather Sect off after snatching the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce.
Xi Qianye nodded slightly and said indifferently, "As the master of a sect, you know when to yield and when to stand tall. You can endure humiliation and shoulder heavy responsibilities. You can be considered a character.
Although what the Thousand Treasure Chamber of Commerce has done is not directly related to you, South Feather Sect is protecting South Feather Sect.
However, the South Feather Sect is protecting the Myriad Treasure Chamber of Commerce. They don't care about anything. There are even people from the South Feather Sect who are involved in this. As the Sect Master, you have an unshirkable responsibility. "
Wei Changfeng sighed softly and bowed his head, "I have nothing to say and am willing to accept the punishment. The people inside South Feather Sect who were involved in this matter will be investigated one by one after the matter is over. We will find all the people involved and give Your Excellency a satisfactory explanation.
However, the South Feather Sect itself wasn't at fault. The ones at fault were me, the Sect Master who didn't manage the sect properly and everyone involved in this matter.
I hope that you will be lenient and not implicate the entire sect. I am willing to bear any punishment alone. "
The South Feather Sect's disciples had tears in their eyes as they glared at the people from the Myriad Treasure Chamber of Commerce.
If it wasn't for them running amok and robbing the village, causing a disaster, their South Feather Sect wouldn't have to bow and scrape. Even their Sect Master could only kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness.
Xi Qianye said faintly, "Wei Changfeng, seeing that you are sincere and willing to kneel for the sake of the sect, I won't pursue the matter with you. You may leave."
As an Immortal Emperor, Xi Qianye naturally had an extraordinary tolerance for people. A person who had the world in his heart wouldn't run amok just because he was strong. He wouldn't be merciless just because others made mistakes.
Wei Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. There was gratitude in his eyes as he bowed deeply at Xi Qianye. Then, he got up and said, "Your Excellency, I hope that you can bring the President of the Myriad Treasure Chamber of Commerce, Wan Shihao, and all the related personnel of the chamber of commerce back for investigation. No matter how many evil deeds the Myriad Treasure Chamber of Commerce has done, I will investigate them one by one and give Your Excellency and the people of Luxi County City an explanation."
Since the matter had escalated to this point, there was no choice but to investigate. Otherwise, the reputation of South Feather Sect would be ruined.
Xi Qianye naturally had no objection and waved his hand to send Wei Changfeng away. As for the result, he believed that Wei Changfeng would give him an answer.
The grievances and sufferings that He Xiuniang and Xi Xiaoxin had gone through were more or less settled at this point. There was no need to delve deeper.
He couldn't kill everyone who slightly provoked them. He wasn't a butcher. Although he was an Immortal Emperor, he still had a human heart.
Since he was a human, he naturally wouldn't be too unreasonable.
The most important thing in the world was not to take revenge on the past, but to pursue the future.
In this life, as a human, he would naturally protect those who were related to him and not let them suffer again.
"Life after life, for too long, there are only a few people who can always be by my side.
The others will pass away forever one day. "
Xi Qianye sighed softly. His life was too long. Life after life, life after life, reincarnation after reincarnation. He couldn't remember how long he had lived and how many lives he had reincarnated.
There were too many relatives related to him.
However, most of them had disappeared in the river of time and couldn't be found.
In the world, there was life and death. Even immortals would pass away one day.
Not everyone could live as long as he did. Only a few people who had broken through some kind of limit and reached a life level similar to his could always be by his side.
The others would pass away eventually.
Therefore, the more Xi Qianye reincarnated, the more he valued relationships. This was because he knew that in his endless life journey, all his relatives and friends could only accompany him for a while. One day, he would lose them.
Xi Qianye's complicated gaze slowly faded. He gently patted Xi Xiaoxin's head, his eyes full of affection. He didn't know how long this little girl he had picked up from the streets would be by his side …
Time was the most terrifying thing in the world.
Even Immortal Emperors had regrets and times when they couldn't do anything. They were far more frequent and profound than ordinary people.
Perhaps, only by taking that final step and controlling the supreme Dao of the entire universe could one be truly omnipotent.
"Young Master, are you sad?"
Xi Xiaoxin touched Xi Qianye's cheek and suddenly asked in a panic.
For a moment, she felt an incomparably deep sadness from her Young Master. That feeling couldn't be described with words.
In her small heart, she couldn't understand that feeling at all. However, she could feel that her Young Master was incomparably sad.
"It's nothing. I just thought of some old things."
Xi Qianye smiled faintly as he slowly collected his thoughts.
His entire person was as calm as water. There was no trace of him anymore.
Wei Changfeng had already brought the South Feather Sect's disciples and detained a large group of executives of the Myriad Treasure Chamber of Commerce. Even the middle-aged manager of the Jiang Hua Pavilion was no exception.
Chen Xue was so scared that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground in fear that the South Feather Sect's people would also take her away.
However, she was overthinking. She was just an external maid of the Jiang Hua Pavilion. She didn't have the "right" to be included in the list of people who were arrested.
"How long have you worked in the Jiang Hua Pavilion?" Xi Qianye suddenly looked at Chen Xue and asked.
Chen Xue's body trembled and she almost collapsed on the ground.
