905 Secure Hereafter (1/2)
Taking in the sight of all the stolen goods, Lang Fantian began to feel slightly worried.
”Brother Yun, from now on, you can only work with us, the General Commerce League. We are sincere regarding this collaboration; we hope you don't disappoint us.”
”The heaven-witnessed vow is already made,” Yun Yang said with a dry chuckle, ”I don't dare to violate it, even if I wanted to.”
”Hahaha…”
”We'd like to visit the Residence of Nine Supremes. Would that be convenient for you?” Lang Fantian displayed a sudden bout of interest.
Exiting the room, they saw Xiao Yushu, Gu Jiuxiao and Feng Guohai appearing simultaneously by the door. They were all chuckling in embarrassment when they saw Lang Fantian.
Lang Fantian scoffed, glaring at the three men, and pointed at each of them.
”The three of you… Very well, I'll remember each and every one of you! Be careful now – the moment you commit any mistake, I shall punish all of you severely!”
The three men heaved a sigh of relief and chortled.
”We never make mistakes and we shall be more cautious in our words and actions from today onwards, staying out of trouble and away from you as much as we can…”
”Less nonsense, and please hurry up!”
…
Looking at the bustling construction site that was the Residence of Nine Supremes, Lang Fantian was rather taken aback.
”You're using these common workers to build your sect?” Lang Fantian's gaze at Yun Yang was as if he was looking at an alien.
”Yes indeed,” Yun Yang answered contentedly, ”The outline is visible now, isn't it? The progress has exceeded my expectation. They're professionals indeed.”
”Brother, your point of view right now is problematic,” Lang Fantian spoke patronizingly, ”Based on this foundation of construction, a whole area will be destroyed if your disciples were to battle with emotions when they train in the future. What can this place of yours support?”
Yun Yang answered gleefully, ”I'm waiting for them to demolish the place.”
Lang Fantian looked confused.
”Don't you have to pay for damaging public amenities? Whoever damages the place shall bear the restoration fee! They'll have to figure it out themselves if they don't want to damage the place.”
Yun Yang was confident in his decision.
”I know that the current conditions are limited as well but I can only build the shell now. When the number of my disciples increase in the future and the practices add up, the sect will naturally be more secure and things will hopefully flow in the matter of course.”
Lang Fantian's heart lurched at the thought that this fellow was not taking his sect seriously. How could he develop his sect and gain the Celestial Luck Banner like this? His nearly oblivious attitude could only cause his sect to weaken and crumble, instead of flowing smoothly!
Lang Fantian grew more skeptical about the Residence of Nine Supremes' future. In spite of it, this was what the General Commerce League would be delighted to see happen.
If the Residence of Nine Supremes could not prosper, they could only stay attached to the General Commerce League and depend on them to survive. In this manner, the league could obtain the treasured goods for a long time. On the contrary, if they shot up without a hindrance and ascended even higher than the league, what could the latter get? The basis of their current collaboration was the relationship between the strong and the weak; one side was dependent on the other. If their forces were parallel or to run in an inverse direction, there was no more room for cooperation!
Listening to what was being said, Shi Wuchen, who was behind the group, began sweating nervously.
'I must remember to fight outside if I ever need a practice session!'
'I shall never fight in my own sect! I must endure it even if others harass and step over me!'
