"City Master Xu, I didn't expect you to build such a place for yourself. This must be the addiction of an earthly emperor." Leader Tianlong said with a smile, not concealing his teasing in his words.
Xu Zhentian didn't expect that Mu Qianyu would decide the meeting place here. When he was brought in by the servant, he felt numb all over. How could such a place see the light? Besides, wouldn't it be awkward to sit on the dragon chair and meet outsiders?
?
If you have the ambition of an emperor but not the destiny of an emperor, if word spreads about it, people will laugh out loud.
"But let's not say that this place was built with great care. It cost a lot of money. You, City Master Xu, have a rich family. We can't compare." The leader of Leihuo Temple also laughed out loud.
The others also had to joke around, because they were in a group and didn't have very sharp words, but even the jokes were exciting, which made Xu Zhentian feel a little uncomfortable.
But this also strengthened his determination to be an emperor. One day he would sit in the real Jinluan Palace and make these people shut up.
While everyone was talking, Mu Qianyu came out from behind the screen. She was wearing a light blue dress, which was refreshing and elegant.
Although she obviously looks like a lady, sitting on the dragon chair is not out of line.
"Good morning, everyone." Mu Qianyu greeted with a smile: "It's been a long time since I last saw you, you look even better than before."
She seemed to have no serious aura at all, and her chatter and laughter actually matched the temperament of the dragon chair, as if it was her chair, it was natural.
"Good morning, Miss Mu." Everyone sat down and responded belatedly. They were also amazed by the compatibility between Mu Qianyu and the dragon chair.
Before Mu Qianyu sat on the chair, it was difficult for them to imagine the scene of a girl sitting on a dragon chair, but now it suddenly became concrete.
"I'm not used to this place, but it cost a lot of money to build, so it can't be demolished, right?" Mu Qianyu explained.
Only Xu Zhentian understood in his heart that Mu Qianyu wanted to demolish this place, and he tried his best to preserve it.
This girl is disdainful, but she fits in perfectly with this place, which is really annoying.
"There's no need to dismantle it, I think it's very suitable." Tianlong Gang leader said. He saw Yuan Zhong behind Mu Qianyu and spoke more cautiously than before.
Behind Mu Qianyu stood Tuoba Yao and Yuan Zhong. She raised her hand while another servant served tea.
"I came to you today because I have something I want to announce." Mu Qianyu thought carefully before saying, "As you have seen, the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce has reduced our profits to 20% of the original. There is no point in continuing to operate this tavern."
Everyone had been relying on the money from the tavern to slightly subsidize the gang. When they heard Mu Qianyu's words, they were stunned. What did this mean?
Xu Zhentian didn't expect Mu Qianyu to say this, but he had to say that it was more effective than the method he thought of.
"As you may think, brewing wine is also a matter of energy and manpower. If the profit is small, there is really no need to persist." Mu Qianyu continued:
"So I came to you just to say that our tavern will end here."
"What?" Although everyone present had guessed it, they still looked in disbelief when they heard the result.
They have only tasted the sweetness of making money for less than three months. Is it about to end? Are they going to go back to the poor days before?
Moreover, not everyone is poor, they also have to watch the Shanhe League make a lot of money, and endure the Shanhe League lording it over their heads!
It was clear that they were the nouveau riche three months ago, so why did it seem like the era of waiting for others was over in just a blink of an eye?
Meteors can't be that fast!
Not willing to give in!
The people present had only this thought in their minds. They were not willing to return to poverty, nor were they willing to be bullied like this again.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I tried my best." Mu Qianyu apologized sincerely: "This is fate and cannot be changed by human beings. You should be more open-minded."
How could anyone think so openly? It would be fine if they had never experienced wealth. But they are all people who have experienced receiving a lot of spiritual stones. How could they say that they can let go of it if they let it go?
Money is something, once they know its benefits, few people can return to being indifferent. Besides, they are not good men and women in the first place.
Everyone in the Jinluan Palace was silent. The thought that had been suppressed sprouted in their hearts, and everyone was thinking about the possibility of that thing.
Mu Qianyu felt that these people might have been thinking for a long time, so they took out the melon seeds from the storage ring and ate them.
Xu Zhentian was the least surprised. When he had time, he glanced at Mu Qianyu, who was eating melon seeds on the dragon chair, and found that even though she was so carefree, she did not violate the agreement, which was strange.
Yuan Zhong tapped her shoulder with his finger from behind.
Mu Qianyu turned around and saw Yuan Zhong pointing at the melon seeds on her table, his eyebrows dancing with joy, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows moved up a little because of his rich expression.
"Eat it." Mu Qianyu grabbed a handful and handed it over.
I haven't heard of anyone who likes to eat melon seeds.
Yuan Zhong took it and handed it in the direction of Tuoba Yao: "Would you like some?"
Even when Tuoba Yao had a flamboyant temperament in the past, he had received good etiquette education, and it was impossible for him to eat such indecent things in public.
She shook her head decisively.
"I've never seen you eat it. Don't you know how to eat it?" Yuan Zhong asked.
Tuoba Yao looked at him like a fool.
"Just pretend I didn't ask." Yuan Zhong was used to this kind of sharp and sarcastic look, and now he was able to avoid being angry at all.
The few people above were communicating easily, while the power masters of the eight major forces below were all frowning. Even Xu Zhentian was like this. It was not that he was pretending, but that he was thinking about how these people supported him.
respect.
"Brothers, you also know how important this tavern is to us. If it were gone, we would be severely hit."
After a while, the leader of Tianlong Gang spoke.
People looked at him, waiting to hear what he had to say.
"But this is Miss Mu's property. If she says she won't do it, we can't force her, but I wonder if we can find another way to survive." He continued.
Yuan Zhong rolled his eyes while eating melon seeds, "Is he unable to force him or does he not dare?"
Not to mention others, he himself could tear everyone present to pieces.
Everyone was still looking at him.
The leader of the Tianlong Gang looked at Xu Zhentian and said: "I don't think I can't consider Brother Xu's last proposal. If our eight major forces unite, we may be able to take advantage of the Chamber of Commerce's business, and we won't have to be suppressed by his Shanhe Alliance.
I was bullied."
These words definitely speak out the sentiments of the people present. I don’t know why these days, they always have conflicts with the Shanhe Alliance. They are also very angry but they don’t dare to show up.
