When Yi Shang saw the bid, he did not care about the fifty billion spirit seeds from the Hundred Leaves Association. That was Lu Yin's, and he automatically ignored it. He looked up and glanced at Yue Susu. "You did this?"
As he spoke, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire venue. Aside from Lu Yin's side, the entire venue was enveloped by Yi Shang's pressure.
Regardless of whether Yi Shang had the Sang Tian position or not, his strength in Ku Ai was real. In the battle of invading the Tian Yuan Universe, there were very few who could stop Yi Shang at the border.
This pressure was not earth-shattering, but it was enough to make people unable to raise their heads.
The people from the various associations were suppressed, and their eyes were filled with fear. They were extremely regretful that they had participated in this competition and been sandwiched between two giants.
Yue Susu looked at Yi Shang without fear. "Long time no see, senior."
"Where's your father?" Yi Shang asked calmly.
Yue Susu smiled. "Father is naturally resting at home."
Yi Shang praised her. "You're so young, but your courage surpasses others. In the entire spiritualized universe, not many people can compare to you in terms of vision and bearing, let alone cultivation talent. However, I'm very curious. What makes your Four Horse Association think that you can compete with me?
Just because I lost the Sang Tian position? "
Yue Susu said solemnly, "The Chamber of Commerce will not weaken just because Senior lost the position of Sang Tian. Even if Senior did not lose the position of Sang Tian, this day would have come sooner or later. My Four Horse Commerce has been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Everyone knows that my Four Horse Association specializes in finding foundation materials for the Realm Beyond Heaven, which is why we have our current status. This is the foundation of my association, but senior, with the main association's ability to control all the associations in the spiritualized universe, you are intercepting foundation materials layer by layer to compete with my Four Horse Association. If you don't act now, my Four Horse Association might be crushed by the main association."
Yi Shang's round face revealed a smile. "I've already said that I would let your Four Horse Association merge with the main association, but Yue Ting is stubborn. As his daughter, you should be thinking for the Four Horse Association. Or do you think that such trivial methods can make me back down?"
Yue Susu smiled and said, "Compared to senior, this little girl is like a toddler learning how to walk, there is no comparison at all. But even if I'm a toddler, if I have a weapon that even adults can't block, I'll still be a threat. At the very least, I can die together with you."
Yi Shang's eyes flashed as a terrifying pressure bore down on Yue Susu.
Beside Yue Susu, the old man stood up, he completely withstood the pressure and coughed: "Old friend, be gentle, how many more years do these old bones want to live?"
Yi Shang looked at the old man in surprise. "Shan Xian?
You're not dead yet? "
The old man chuckled and looked at Yi Shang. "No matter what, we're comrades. It's impolite to curse me to death when we meet."
In the corner, Old Tao was astonished. "Shan Xian?
He's actually still alive. "
"Soon, I won't be able to live for much longer."
Lu Yin looked at the old man. He was a Spiritual Prime and was close to death. "You know him?"
Old Tao exclaimed, "I've seen him once a long time ago. He's an expert of the same generation as Yi Sangtian, and they once participated in the expedition to the Universe of Consciousness. It's said that this person isn't good at killing, but he's extremely defensive. With his protection, there's almost no chance of anything happening."
"It's one thing for this person to be alive, but he's actually protecting that girl from the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce. It seems like the rumors are true."
"What rumor?" Qing Xiao was curious.
Old Tao said in a low voice, "The Four Horse Chamber of Commerce has received the protection of the Realm Beyond Heaven. They have experts secretly protecting them, and those experts are all people who are close to death."
"They're just like those old fellows in the Gate of Arts who are waiting to die. These old fellows don't have much ability to fight outside, and they might die if they make a move.
If someone comes knocking, they'll still be earth-shattering. "
Shan Xian turned to look at the corner. "Don't keep calling them old fellows. They're not that old. They're just nearing the end of their lives."
Old Tao laughed awkwardly, embarrassed that he had been overheard.
After Shan Xian finished speaking, he looked at Yi Shang. "Old friend, the main chamber of commerce has earned enough under your leadership. Give them some leeway. The Four Horse Chamber of Commerce only wants to monopolize the Sequence Foundation materials and protect their own position. There's no need to make things so tense."
Yue Susu spoke up. "As long as Senior agrees, the spiritualized universe will no longer compete with our Four Horse Chamber of Commerce for the Sequence Foundation materials. The Four Horse Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay the price for today's incident to appease Senior's anger."
Yi Shang looked deeply at Yue Susu. "Do you think that you'll be fine with Shan Xian protecting you?
If I want to kill you, he won't be able to stop me. "
Shan Xian was helpless. "That's why we chose this time. We just lost Sang Tian's position. If news of the main chamber of commerce's unstable position were to spread, and the dispatch of the competition for a mere spiritual seed were to spread, what kind of image do you think the main chamber of commerce would have?
With one Four Horse Chamber of Commerce, there will be a second one. You know very well how many other chambers of commerce there are. I'm nearing the end of my life. Old friend, what about you?
You'll be reaching your end soon. "
Yi Shang's round face sank completely. "You were only ordered to protect Yue Ting. When did you protect the entire Four Horse Chamber of Commerce?"
Yue Susu smiled sweetly. "I've already acknowledged Senior Shan Xian as my master. He's my master."
Yi Shang was shocked, then he laughed. "Good, good, good. Yue Ting raised a good daughter. He was stubborn and not good with words, but I didn't expect his daughter to be so outstanding. If I didn't guess wrong, Yue Ting didn't agree to this at all. He believed that he could protect the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce with his own abilities."
Yue Susu was helpless. "Father's way of thinking is sometimes very naive. I admire Zhi Kong Region the most. They can see far."
Yi Shang praised. "Yue Ting is stupid, but his daughter is smart. There's nothing eternal in this world. He can protect the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce with his own talent for a while, but he can't protect it forever. You can see far enough."
Saying that, his eyes flashed. "Have you thought of coming to my Chamber of Commerce?"
Yue Susu was puzzled. "What does senior mean?"
Yi Shang said. "Marry my grandson Yi Xia."
Yue Susu was shocked. She didn't expect Yi Shang to have such an idea.
Shan Xian was surprised. He looked at Yue Susu. This was doable. After all, he was nearing the end of his life. He liked this girl very much, so he agreed to participate in this matter. But if he died, what would happen to this girl?
Even if she could protect the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce, how could she protect herself?
Yue Ting could have one daughter, or two.
There was one thing that Yue Susu and even Yi Shang were wrong. Yue Ting was not stupid, but he did not want to stand out. From the beginning to the end, he was passive in accepting the scheme against the Chamber of Commerce. However, only Shan Xian who had protected Yue Ting for a long time could see that Yue Ting's passivity was actually his initiative.
Yue Susu took the initiative to stand out to protect Yue Ting, but Yue Ting wanted her to do so.
In the end, the Chamber of Commerce was forced to agree not to compete with the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce, and Yi Shang's anger would be borne by Yue Susu.
From the beginning to the end, Yue Ting was an outsider, but he protected the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce. As for Yue Susu's fate, it would depend on her luck.
Shan Xian could see it, but he could not stop it. Yue Susu sincerely wanted to protect the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce, and also sincerely wanted to protect her father. He could not interfere in this matter.
But if Yue Susu married Yi Xia, then it would be different.
"Old friend, are you serious?" Shan Xian looked at Yi Shang seriously.
Yi Shang's round face revealed a smile again. "I am not lying."
Shan Xian looked at Yue Susu and suppressed his excitement. "Girl."
Yue Susu looked at Shan Xian and said something.
In the corner, Lu Yin rolled his eyes. What was going on? How could it develop to this point? If these two families were to form a marriage alliance, the Spiritualized Universe Commerce would be unified, and it would be easier to gather resources in the future. This would not be a good thing for the Tian Yuan Universe.
Shan Xian hoped that Yue Susu would agree.
Yue Susu's expression was one of confusion. She had not expected things to turn out this way.
Yi Shang said, "Marry Yi Xia, and the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce will still be the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce. Whether or not you join the Chamber of Commerce, it will not affect the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce's status."
Yue Susu looked at Yi Shang, who was smiling and looking very sincere.
"I'm sorry, senior, but I cannot agree to this."
Yi Shang's expression froze, and then it became gloomy as his eyes revealed a cold glint.
Shan Xian looked at Yue Susu's side profile and sighed. He had forgotten that the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce was able to reach where it was today because of Sky Beyond. Sky Beyond supported the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce because Yue Ting could find those precious materials, but if the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce joined forces, what would Sky Beyond think?
Sky Beyond could support Yue Ting, but it could also give up on the entire Four Horse Chamber of Commerce.
Yue Susu cared about the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce, but Shan Xian knew that Yue Ting could ignore the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce. At worst, he could just rebuild it. As for Yue Susu, his daughter, Yue Ting had already given up on her from the moment she had taken the initiative to scheme against the Chamber of Commerce.
Net
Yue Ting still valued himself the most.
Without Yue Ting and the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce, Yue Susu would be nothing. What was the point of marrying Yi Xia?
A person could have additional value, but one could not allow that additional value to exceed one's own value. Otherwise, who would be more important? Would a person still be that person?
Yue Susu's value was reflected in the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce and Yue Ting. If she lost these, then her bearing and consideration would be worthless in Yi Shang's eyes, unless she had the strength of Sang Tian.
Even if Yue Ting lost everything, as long as he was still alive, he would still be of the greatest value.
Yi Shang would not fail to understand this, but he had still raised this condition. This was just a counterattack against what had happened today. If Yue Susu could not see this clearly, then what awaited her would be the fate of being abandoned. Regardless of whether it was the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce or the main chamber of commerce, there would be no place for her.
This was a game. Yue Susu had schemed against the main chamber of commerce, and Yi Shang had schemed against her. They had all seen through each other's intentions, and only Shan Xian had not been able to see it clearly at first.
Lu Yin praised, "As expected of a merchant. You were able to kill your opponent with just a few words."
He had originally wanted to ruin it, but there was no need for that now.
Yue Susu was smarter than he had thought.
This universe had no lack of smart people. The Tian Yuan Universe's Ancestor Hui, the One True God, Qiong Xi 'er, Wang Wen, Wei Rong, and the others. The spiritualized universe's Yu Sang Tian, Yi Shang, Elder Yu, and the others were all smart people.
If one was not careful, they could be schemed against.
Some people did not seem to be very smart, but that was only because outsiders could not see it.
The Grand Empyrean was one such person. Many people had called her a stupid woman, but in the end, the Grand Empyrean had saved the entire Tian Yuan Universe. Otherwise, no matter how smart Ancestor Hui was, no matter how talented Lu Yin was, no matter how powerful the Primogenitor was, they would not have been able to stop the One True God at his peak.
The Grand Empyrean had her own path. No matter what she did, her name was Tai Hong, and she would not lose to anyone.
Lu Yin sighed. He really wanted to call her a stupid woman again.
