Chapter 238: Royal proclamation being sent (2/2)
Nangong Zhi swaggered out of the hall.
Meng Yingying stood up while panting in indignation, “This isn’t fair!The Southern Summer King isn’t fair!Chu Tian saving Thunder State is a fact and the chaos in Central State was caused by the three great families, we just defended ourselves.Can this matter be blamed on us?It doesn’t matter if the Southern Summer King doesn’t reward us, but he has to send this terrible envoy too.Isn’t this looking down on us?”
Meng Qingwu helplessly shook her head, “Yingying, speak a little softer.Don’t let the envoy hear you.”
“I’ve already heard about what happened.”The Divine Wind Marquis shook his head at Chu Tian, “This matter came too quickly and it was a good thing I was in the Imperial City, otherwise those people in the Imperial City would have plotted your death!”
The situation in Imperial City was very dangerous!
There was no need to ask to know that the Shangguan Family wanted to deal with him.
Of course, there were also the influences attracted by the benefits of Miracle Commerce.
“I worked hard to avoid a member of the Shangguan Family being sent out.This Nangong Zhi is an important person, so you have to try your best to satisfy whatever requests he has.”From the Divine Wind Marquis’ expression, the situation was more severe than they imagined, “You do not have an ally in the Imperial City and if you offend the Nangong Family, it will be hard to continue forward.”
Chu Tian did not care about the Divine Wind Marquis’ gentle reminder.When did father have to care about these kinds of lackeys acting up?
Nangong Zhi’s manner was nothing more than showing his authority to Chu Tian to make Chu Tian feel afraid.Then he would open his mouth and swallow him up.
What a joke!
Chu Tian was not an easy person to deal with!
The Divine Wind Marquis did not know Chu Tian’s thoughts, “You better make your preparations.You have to come to the banquet tonight and you should bring Nangong Yun along.No matter what, Miracle Commerce has a part of the Nangong Family and perhaps on common benefit, he will give you a bit of face.”
He would go and have a look.
Chu Tian did not want to know this so called envoy because he didn’t know what kind of medicine he was drinking.
When Nangong Yun knew that a member of her family was here, her eyebrows quickly jumped up.
Nangong Yun did not have any good feelings towards her family, as they did not leave a good impression with her.Her father had always been pushed aside by the family and after Nangong Yun revealed astonishing talent, she attracted envy and suppression.
Many years ago, Nangong Yun was sent to South Sky City to be a mayor and the young Nangong Yun was sent off to a distant place.
South Sky City did not have many cultivation resources, so it was very slow for her cultivate, but the time that she spent in Central State made her very happy, finally being able to have her own choice.Even if the family wanted to train her, she would not be willing to return to that terrible place.
Chu Tian comforted Nangong Yun, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“That’s right, there’s also me, Yingying!”Meng Yingying volunteered herself, “If the Nangong Family wants to bully you, Yingying will punch them for you!”
Meng Qingwu was helpless against the two of them, “Save your breath, Nangong Zhi is a senior elder of the Nangong Family and senior elders of the Three Great Clans are all True Soul Realm cultivators.Didn’t you see that even the Divine Wind Marquis had to give him face?”
Meng Yingying said, “So what if he’s a True Soul Realm cultivator?It’s not like we haven’t beaten them before!The three great families’ great remote elders were all True Soul Realm cultivators!”
Meng Qingwu said with a sigh, “It’s not the same.Nangong Zhi doesn’t count for anything, but what’s terrifying is the Nangong Family behind him and even the…..Southern Summer King!”
“There’s no need to think that much.”Chu Tian was not rushed, “You just need to obediently attend the banquet tonight, eat and drink as you wish, I’ll take care of everything else!”
When night came, they went to the mayor’s palace.
The first thing the Divine Wind Marquis did after coming back was chase mayor Feng Yunlong into the vice mayor seat and personally take the position of Central State City mayor.The Divine Wind Marquis could see that these incompetent family juniors could not manage the mayor position and would just throw Central State into more chaos!
The banquet began.
When Nangong Zhi saw Nangong Yun, his eyes lit up with a strange expression, “I never thought that I would meet anyone from the Nangong Family’s younger generation here.Nangong Yi was someone with potential, so the family sent him here to properly train himself.I think he shouldn’t have a complaint.”
Nangong Yun knit her brows and said, “Father is already used to living in Central State.”
“Then that’s good!”Nangong Zhi nodded with satisfaction, “Nangong Yi really had good eyes and that is a very lucky thing since you entered a cooperation with Miracle Commerce early.The two chairman of Miracle Commerce are also guest officials of the Nangong Family, so naturally the family will care for you.”
Everyone was silent without saying anything.
Why did Nangong Zhi suddenly change his temperament?
Did he become more gentle?That was probably not the case!
This was nothing more than using candy and stick.He would first show off his authority before giving a bit of comfort to Miracle Commerce, then he would swallow them whole.
“Miracle Commerce has caused quite a bit of trouble this time.Although you are related to the Nangong Family, I’ve come to Central State with the royal proclamation and represent the kingdom, so I hope that you understand that I can’t let personal affairs affect this.”
Nangong Zhi revealed a righteous appearance.
Chu Tian gently asked, “Then what is the royal envoy’s meaning?”
“I already investigated the reason for the chaos and it was the three great families’ self destruction, so it isn’t related to you.However…..Miracle Commerce has secretly taken the resources of the three great family and attracted the displeasure of many large characters in the Imperial City.In terms of qualification whether it is prestige or background, Miracle Commerce is severely lacking.If a single family was to rule Central State, how could the other old families accept this?”
Nangong Zhi said this before suddenly stopping.
“So I have a plan.If you want to survive, then Miracle Commerce must open up to a family!According to the will of the Nangong Family’s Flame Departing Marquis, Miracle Commerce can become a business of the Nangong Family, which will then grant you safety.”
The expressions of Meng Qingwu and others changed.
Miracle Commerce worked hard to reach their current scale.The Nangong Family wanted to swallow them just like this?
Chu Tian revealed no emotions, “We’ll lose Miracle Commerce and have nothing left?”
“You can be assured on this.”Nangong Zhi said, “The Flame Departing Marquis will give you a guest official status and promote you to a foreign minister, which is on the same level as a senior elder.As long as you work for the Nangong Family for ten years, you will receive the position of minister, which is even higher than the senior elder position!”
“I understand.”Chu Tian revealed a smile, “This also means that not only will we have to give Miracle Commerce to the Nangong Family, we will also have to toil away for you for ten years?”
The Divine Wind Marquis’ face fell.
The Nangong Family really was too greedy!
