The Fourth Financial Crisis

Murong and Yang Lu have been together for more than two months, and they already have a good understanding of each other. Although Yang Lu didn't say anything, Murong already understood what he meant. After only a moment of hesitation, she nodded lightly to Liu Hanxing and said:

"I can go to the Infinite Sword Sect with you!"

After finishing Murong's ideological work, Liu Hanxing also breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, although the Wuliang Mountains are more than 10,000 miles away from Haiya City, if we fully control the spirit boat, we can arrive at dawn and dusk. I have The patrol elders from various places along the route are ordered to be ready to provide support at any time, so without further delay, let’s set off immediately!”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Hanxing flicked his sleeves and robe, and a dense golden mist swept towards Murong.

Before Liu Hanxing arrived, Murong had been tightly protected by five high-level monks using protective spells. But as the golden mist came into contact with these protective spells, a situation occurred that stunned all cultivators.

Just like hot water splashed on the snow, the layers of colorful protective spells on Murong's side soon showed signs of being seriously eroded. It didn't take long before they were completely melted away without any sound. Leave no trace.

You must know that Liu Hanxing is only a second-level Jindan monk, and his cultivation level is slightly lower than that of Jiang Hua'an, a third-level Jindan monk.

However, the protective spells activated by the five cultivators headed by Jiang Hua'an could not even sustain a single breath in front of Liu Hanxing!

Although everyone knew that Liu Hanxing was very strong, they didn't expect that he could be so strong!

Liu Hanxing did not take the initiative to ask the five cultivators in the VIP table to remove the protective spells. Instead, he chose to take action and cracked all of them lightly, obviously with the intention of demonstrating to the high-level monks of Haiya City.

Jiang Hua'an's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, but he still said politely: "Fellow Daoist Liu's [Astronomical Secret Technique] is indeed the strongest forbidden-breaking technique of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Jiang really admires it!"

"City Master Jiang is welcome!"

After saying polite words to Jiang Hua'an, Liu Hanxing waved his sleeves and absorbed Murong into his own escape light. In an instant, the golden escape light moved outside the test hall. After a few flashes, it was Completely disappeared from the horizon.

"The fierce dragon crossing the river is coming with bad intentions!" Jiang Hua'an couldn't help but murmured to himself as he watched Liu Hanxing disappear.

Seeing Murong being taken away by Liu Hanxing, Yang Lu also sighed softly.

Although Zhu Ziming's eyes next to him were mixed with anger and fear, which made him very happy, but the little beauty who had been with him for more than two months suddenly went to study abroad, which made him really unhappy. Or is it because I have a shallow foundation in the world of cultivation that I can neither protect the saint-grade spiritual root monks nor influence the opinions of the higher-ups of the Infinite Sword Sect?

Yang Lu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed in an imperceptible voice: "It seems that I also need to work hard. Now that I have confirmed that I have the qualifications for cultivation, sooner or later, no one can decide the fate of the people around me, not even the Infinite Sword Sect. Not even the leader!"

Although Yang Lu's voice was very soft, Butler Zhou, who had a foundation-building level of cultivation next to him, noticed it.

Hearing such arrogant remarks, Butler Zhou couldn't help but want to ridicule Yang Lu. However, thinking of his various methods of turning corruption into magic and Li Qingyang's evaluation of him as "no less than Governor Lu", he couldn't help but think of it. I suppressed the words I complained again.

Just when Yang Lu was secretly determined to work harder in the future, Xu Yannan's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Yang Lu, since you have officially joined our Golden Blade Sect, come to the Lingshi Reserve Bank office at this time tomorrow. Me."

Yang Lu suddenly looked up and found Xu Yannan sitting at the VIP table, nodding slightly to himself. Obviously, he had just contacted himself using some kind of sound transmission spell.

Yang Lu nodded slightly to Xu Yannan in return, and then told Butler Zhou: "Let's go, it's time for us to return to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce."

Butler Zhou asked with a smile: "Why, don't you stay here to watch the fun?"

Yang Lu just waved his hand casually and said without looking back: "My spiritual root test is over, and Murong has also joined the Wuliang Sword Sect. What else can be exciting and exciting?"

…

After leaving the Haiya City Lord's Mansion, the two quickly returned to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce headquarters. As soon as he entered the door of the Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu found that Li Qingning had moved a deck chair and was drinking spiritual tea in the yard waiting for him to come back.

Seeing the smile in the corner of the eldest lady's eyes, Yang Lu said curiously: "Miss, you seem to be in a good mood."

Li Qingning narrowed her crescent-like eyes and smiled: "Junior Brother Yang, I have already heard about the Immortal Ascension Conference just now!"

Unexpectedly, Li Qingning would act like a senior sister from the Golden Blade Sect. Yang Lu was quite dumbfounded and said, "The eldest lady is really well-informed. I just tested that the hall is under full martial law, and you can still get the news!"

"As soon as you left the City Lord's Mansion, Uncle Zhou sent me a message!" Li Qingning pouted at Butler Zhou beside him, and directly betrayed his source of information, "Junior brother, you have a low-grade water spirit root, although it is inferior to Senior sister, I am far from the best wind spirit root, but it is just barely enough. At least I don’t have to worry about you being knocked unconscious by a sap from the street gangsters!"

Seeing Li Qingning's proud expression, Yang Lu followed the principle of flattering without asking for money, and immediately boasted: "With the protection of a cultivation genius like the eldest lady, even if I am just a mortal, no one dares to provoke me when I go out!"

"Speaking of cultivation geniuses, Murong is the real cultivation genius!" Li Qingning was a little embarrassed by Yang Lu's praise, and quickly changed the topic with a blushing face, "I didn't expect that she turned out to be a saint-grade spiritual root talent. I can’t even believe it. It’s a pity that she was taken away by the guys from the Wuliang Sword Sect. Alas... when we fight landlords from now on, I’m afraid we’ll all be left alone!”

Seeing the regret on the eldest lady's face, Yang Lu also said that she was reluctant to let Murong leave. Unexpectedly, she was thinking about fighting the landlord, so Yang Lu couldn't help but feel speechless:

Even with your 3-for-3 and 4-2 fight against others, you can only bully an honest person like Murong!

Of course, Yang Lu was just complaining in his heart and would not tear down Miss Li in person. Instead, he asked about another matter: "By the way, where are the distinguished guests you just received?"

"He has left!" Li Qingning was never the kind of person who was good at hiding her emotions. When she mentioned this mysterious guest, her interest obviously increased.

Yang Lu knew without guessing that the meeting just now must have been a success, which made him couldn't help but wonder: "Who is that distinguished guest? You seem to have never told me!"

"I'm not afraid of disturbing your work!" Li Qingning thought that Yang Lu was blaming himself, so he couldn't help but defend himself, "You have already had a hard time being responsible for the internal affairs of the chamber of commerce. Of course, it's important to expand your business externally. It’s up to me to take action personally!”

Can you expand your business externally?

After hearing this explanation, Yang Lu suddenly became filled with doubts.

This is not to say that Yang Lu looks down on Li Qingning. After all, Li Qingning just lacks practical business experience and is not really incapable. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build the current organizational structure of Qingning Chamber of Commerce from scratch.

It's just that the business expansion of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has obviously encountered a bottleneck. Even Yang Lu has not yet come up with a specific expansion plan. Therefore, he was very surprised to hear that Li Qingning was expanding his business externally.

"Miss, who are you looking for to expand your business?"

Sensing Yang Lu's suspicious tone, Li Qingning snorted and said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I tell you. Just now, the deacon of Wuliang Sword Sect's Merit Hall came to visit in person!"
