The Fourth Financial Crisis

After the game, Yang Lu casually found an excuse and said goodbye to Su Yuanfeng.

Since Su Yuanfeng continued to operate the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference behind closed doors, he only told Yang Lu that he wanted to avoid suspicion, and naturally he would not invite him to the dinner party. So Yang Lu successfully found an opportunity and met in private with Chen Ming, the leader of the Mountain Eagle Sect. .

As the second largest force in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou, offending the Mountain Eagle Party would do no harm to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. Yang Lu also wanted to take the opportunity to repair the relationship between the two parties.

Of course, Yang Lu definitely didn't come here to scold him.

Now that Su Yuanfeng has expressed his position, he can still prevent Ye Chen from advancing to the quarterfinals without Li Qingning taking action, so Yang Lu has too many empty promises at his disposal!

Since Li Qingning showed overwhelming strength in the competition, what Chen Ming is most worried about now is that Ye Chen may be blocked by Li Qingning in the next game. However, Chen Ming couldn't make the leader of the Dignified Mountain Eagle Sect open his mouth and ask two Qi Refining Stage monks to help his apprentice.

Chen Ming's predicament had long been noticed by Yang Lu, so he took the initiative to find Chen Ming and took over everything immediately, saying that the affairs of the head of Chen were the affairs of our Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Ming originally criticized the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and the Haiya Chamber of Commerce for being too close. But seeing that Yang Lu was so knowledgeable, the other party took the initiative to accept the matter before he opened his mouth. His impression of Yang Lu also changed greatly. He repeatedly praised Consultant Yang for his general knowledge and ability to solve problems. He also took the initiative to say that if he could do anything in the future, If the Qingning Chamber of Commerce encounters unfair treatment in Haiya City, they can come to Tianshu City to make their own decision.

Although Yang Lu felt that his Qingning Chamber of Commerce had the Golden Blade Sect as its backer, as well as two powerful allies, Han Xinhe and Su Yuanfeng, so it would be good if he did not bully others in Haiya City. Even if Jiang Huaan was not qualified to manipulate him casually, he still showed He looked very grateful and said that he would never forget the kindness of Master Chen.

Since his direct disciple Ye Chen had just defeated his old enemy Su Yuanfeng's junior Su Cheng, Chen Ming was already in a good mood. Coupled with Yang Lu's intention to flatter him, he was in such a good mood that he even pretended to be a Golden Core monk on the spot. A banquet was held in honor of Yang Lu to celebrate this great victory together.

Yang Lu originally didn't want to go back and get involved in Su Yuanfeng's conspiracy, so he readily agreed to the appointment.

He is a master at chatting, and he quickly made the atmosphere of the dinner very lively. Even Ye Chen, Chen Ming's personal disciple and the one who made the first contribution in this competition, couldn't get a word in.

Of course, most of these banquet gossips are not nutritious.

The only information that Yang Lu paid a little attention to during the dinner was that Fei Fan, the elder of the Shanying Sect's law enforcement hall who presided over the Tianshu City war, was beaten to the bottom by Chen Ming because he went too far, and he lost his title as the Shanying Sect's law enforcement elder. Not to mention his position, he was even demoted to the idle position of the person in charge of the Mountain Eagle Sect's headquarters office in the Wuliang Sword Sect.

When he heard the news, Yang Lu secretly sighed with regret.

When he was in Tianshu City, he had quite a good relationship with Elder Fei, the old bureaucrat of the Mountain Eagle Sect!

Of course, Yang Lu would definitely not say this in front of Chen Ming.

He even followed Chen Ming in angrily scolding Elder Fei, and poured several basins of dirty water on him, which made the head of Chen Ming nod his head, indicating that Consultant Yang understood me.

The two were talking happily, and Chen Ming even pointed at Yang Lu and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, although you usually practice more diligently, in terms of conducting yourself in the world and accumulating heavenly merits, you are worse than Consultant Yang of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. It’s too far away. When you have time, you should consult more with your peers about these aspects of knowledge.”

Chen Ming also said this with emotion.

In terms of combat effectiveness, he, Chen Ming, is the strongest person in the southeastern coastal area of ​​Zhongzhou. Even if Su Yuanfeng succeeds in advancing to the Golden Core stage, Chen Ming is confident of defeating these two cultivation capitalists with one against two.

Although Chen Ming has an overwhelming combat advantage, the Mountain Eagle Sect has been suppressed by the Haiya Sect for so many years because the Haiya Sect's soft power is too strong.

By operating an ocean-going trade network across Kyushu, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce has formed a powerful interest alliance across Kyushu. Even though Chen Ming has the strength to rival the late Jindan monks and has Cheng Shuying, the Supreme Elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect as his backer, he often I felt overwhelmed by this powerful force.

If not, he would not risk his troops and use Ye Chen, a chess piece that can be called a strategic nuclear weapon.

In the opinion of Master Chen, Yang Lu can not only come and get things done, but also get things done, allowing the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to have power between the major forces in Haiya City and Tianshu City. This is the talent that the Mountain Eagle Faction lacks most today. .

If Ye Chen also had this ability to stand alone, Chen Ming would never use him as a tool, and would even seriously consider passing him the position of head of the Mountain Eagle Sect.

It's a pity that although Ye Chen is serious about his cultivation, he has no interest in the world. At this time, Chen Ming reminded Ye Chen that he should learn more from Yang Lu. There was no malice at all, he was just expressing his feelings.

However, these words sounded a bit harsh in Ye Chen's ears.

I endured inhuman pain to practice the Gengjin Body Transformation Technique, and risked my happiness in life for revenge. As a result, my most respected master actually asked me to learn from a flatterer who only knows how to flatter others?

So Ye Chen couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Master, what kind of joke are you kidding me for asking me to learn from a third-level Qi Refining monk?"

Seeing that his disciple was blatantly arrogant and didn't give himself any face, Chen Ming's face darkened slightly: "There are priorities in learning the Tao, and there are specialties in the arts. Sometimes, being a human being is more important than cultivating one's realm!"

However, Ye Chen couldn't listen at all.

If he had also been a great monk at the Golden Core stage back then, his family would not have been wiped out by the Haiya capitalists!

But these words involved Ye Chen's secret, and he couldn't say it at all, so he had to forcefully argue: "For cultivators like us, fighting on the road is the right path. Isn't it a waste of life to delve into this kind of trick?"

"That's enough, you damn scoundrel!"

Chen Ming slammed the table, sending out powerful spiritual energy fluctuations all over his body, which made Ye Chen breathless. After cold sweat broke out on the opponent's forehead, Chen Ming slowly dissipated the aura of a powerful man in the Golden Core stage.

Although Ye Chen was still unconvinced, seeing that the head master was really angry, he could only stay silent.

Fortunately, Yang Lu noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, and took the initiative to politely say: "Master Chen really spoke harshly! Fellow Daoist Ye just said something rude and unreasonable. If our cultivators do not have the realm of cultivation, then they are nothing. Don't Talk about me, Yang Lu, even if it’s President Li Qingyang, isn’t his biggest regret in life his lack of cultivation?”

If Yang Lu only talked about himself, he might still be considered to be being modest, but when he brought up the lifelong regrets of his patron Li Qingyang, the feeling was obviously different, and he became a narrative of some objective Truth makes people feel sincere.

As the saying goes, if you compare people with others, you will die, but if you compare goods, you will throw them away.

After witnessing Yang Lu's expression of high emotional intelligence, and then looking at his ineffective apprentice, Chen Ming glared at Ye Chen with eyes that hated iron but not steel, and his idea of ​​using him as a tool became more determined.

Fei Fan and his gang are in ruins, but at least they are capable of derailing the situation. If the Mountain Eagle Faction is left to be managed by a guy like Ye Chen who knows nothing about trouble and has zero emotional intelligence, he might not be able to attract trouble. What a disaster!
