Chapter 40 Trouble? (2/2)
”Oh, that would depend on the Clans or the people that wish to trade them.”
Mo Xie pondered for a bit: ”Then, I would also like to open up a trade for Spiritual Stones, whether its Gold Taels or items.”
Mu Ye smiled as he nodded: ”Then, Grandmaster Mo, we will spread the news ourselves, The Mo Family will wish to have traded with Spiritual Stones.”
”Then, if it would not be a hindrance, I would also like it if other cities go to trade with me, everyone is welcome.”
Mu Ye became shocked, his eyes looking at Mo Xie in hesitation.
”Gr...Grandmaster Mo! Are you sure?! that will be challenging the authority of the Sects that are controlling the Cities!”
Mo Xie looked at Mu Ye; 'That will really be hard to deal with if I want to face with them... how should I act... with a low-level place like this, I have not yet gained any background to mention...'
”Well, I would like to open up for them then.” Mo Xie replied with a smile.
Mu Ye heaved a sigh of relief hearing this; ”That's a great choice, Grandmaster Mo.”
Mo Xie nodded as he continued: ”Then, that settles it, extend my invitation to the Kingdom and all of the Sects nearby, they are welcome to trade with our Mo Family.”
Mu Ye's eyes widened in shock, speechless of what he just heard from Mo Xie.
Mo Xie stood up as he looked at Mu Ye and spoke: ”I will leave spreading the news to you, Mu Ye.”
After he spoke, Mo Xie left immediately.
Mu Ye's eyes followed Mo Xie as he exited the courtyard; 'What... they are... they are open to trading with the great sects and the Royal Kingdom?'
Mu Ye panicked, that would just enrage the Kingdom and the Sects altogether!

Somewhere within the Gangting City.
”Father, please avenge me!” Lu Shi, the one that was thrashed earlier is kneeling on the floor.
Opposite to his direction, an old man that seemed to be in his 50s is sitting on a high seat.
”Hmmp!” That old man snorted.
”Daring to humiliate this seat's son just because he is a mere tier 3 Alchemist?
Threatening to cut all ties with my Lu Clan? Preposterous!”
The old man is enraged, but he would usually crawl on the ground to beg for mercy to the Alchemy Association, that is the reason that his Lu Clan actually reached the 8th rank of the great Clan list.
But there is a guest in their Clan right now, the old man looked at that guest and spoke.
”Brother-in-law, will you accompany this old man to the Alchemy Association?”
The so-called 'Brother-in-law' looked back at the old man and spoke: ”A mere Alchemy Association branch is causing you trouble? I really don't know what my Sister liked about you.”
The patriarch, Lu Bong bowed his head in shame, being ridiculed by his own brother-in-law actually hurts.
”Never the less, this Clan is my Sister's residence now, I will help you.”
”Brother, thank you.” A voice of the Patriarch's wife sounded.
The Patriarch's wife is from one of the Clan's inside the Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom, Meng Meitong, although it is not that big, it is still at the ranks within the middle, boasting great power and many experts.
The Meng Clan can easily handle a low city like the Gangting City, but such bullying will clearly catch the ire and ridicule of other Clans.
Meng Meitong's brother, Meng Zhuo is one of the top ten elders within the Meng Clan, although he is powerful, he couldn't be rash.
Meng Zuo then looked at Lu Bong as he spoke: ”I will aid you and getting your face back, but be sure not to push them too far, if it goes to that point, I will leave you be.”
”The Alchemy Association within royal capital is not to be triffled with, if we only come here to do some minor talks, it might pass by them but if we do something that will offend the main branch of the Alchemy Association, I will take no part in it.”
Lu Bong nodded, he didn't know that he is not the only one with ties in the Royal Capital.
”I understand.”
”Good, let's go.”
The Alchemy Association in Gangting City is a small branch from the Alchemy Association within the capital, the strength that the Alchemy Association possess there can be equal to that of the Royal Family, even the Sects like Northern Star Sect and Supreme Sword Sect had to be polite to them.
If they offended such a huge business tycoon for pills and potions, where will they get their batch of resources after?
With this thought in mind, nobody wishes to fight against it, but a branch of the Alchemy Association can still be dealt with, so long as they don't go over the bottom line.
