Ma Feng was very apprehensive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When Zhou Qingyang personally came to ask him to see Lin Xiao, he knew that things might not be good.
Originally, it was just a deputy under Tang Wanru, and after Tang Wanru left the imperial capital, he was in charge of the Imperial Capital's Proud Chamber of Commerce when he came.
Ma Feng knew his own ability, and it was too difficult to simply succeed in running the Chamber of Commerce! Among the principals of the other major chambers of commerce, Luo Fei was known as a ghost talent, Lu Ling was known as a spirit fox, and Shen Hao was famous for seeking victory in stability. He alone has no strengths or advantages.
Ma Feng has always been worried, not because he was worried that he would not be able to make the scale of the Proud Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital to a higher level, but because he was worried that he would be punished by the sect due to his improper management.
After the news of the transaction between Tenglong merchants and Lin Xiao came out, Ma Feng thought that he was almost here!
Help Lin Xiao breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time suppress the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce! In this way, not only can the Aoshi Chamber of Commerce have one less potential enemy, but also gain Lin Xiao's favor.
At the beginning of the Shadowless Villa, Lin Xiao could fall out with the Hai family for the younger brother of the Shadow Peak Lord, but now he stands out for the face of the sect, even if he has no merit, right?
This was what Ma Feng had been thinking all along, and it wasn't until he saw the gloom on Zhou Qingyang's face that Ma Feng began to doubt whether what he was doing was correct.
Although worried, Ma Feng still rushed to the hall as soon as possible.
"Sect Master ......"
Bowing down and arching his hand, Ma Feng maintained an absolutely humble posture and bent over to stand in the hall, Lin Xiao didn't dare to get up without saying anything.
"Raise your head!"
The voice is very light, no joy or sorrow.
Slowly raising his head, what caught Ma Feng's eyes was an extremely handsome face.
This is not the first time he has seen Lin Xiao, he has seen Lin Xiao a few times the last time he came to the imperial capital, but Lin Xiao has never paid attention to him.
If there were doubts before, now Ma Feng can be sure that what he has done has made the sect master dissatisfied!
Lin Xiao's calm eyes couldn't see a hint, but Ma Feng still felt the killing intent that the sect master inadvertently emanated!
There was continuous sweat gushing out of his forehead and back, Lin Xiao looked at Ma Feng without a look, but the latter's clothes were gradually soaked.
"Dada....... Da....... Da ......"
In the quiet hall, there was only the soft sound of the sweat on Ma Feng's forehead dripping on the ground, Lin Xiao slowly drank the tea in the cup, and only slowly raised his head when Ma Feng felt that his body was a little prostration.
"I ask you...... Is it your idea to make a move against the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce?"
"Sect Master, listen to my explanation......"
"Answer yes or no?"
"Yes......"
"Do you want to stand out for me, or do you want to stand out yourself?"
"The little ones don't dare!"
Ma Feng's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground.
"Think about this question clearly, if you have the courage to give me an answer, I won't pursue this matter!"
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and filled the teacup by himself, leaving Ma Feng kneeling in place and thinking about how to answer Lin Xiao's question.
As time passed, Ma Feng thought about countless answers in his heart, and the deeper he thought about it, the more cold he felt!
The question raised by Lin Xiao seems simple, but it is a big problem for Ma Feng!
If he replied that he wanted to stand up for Lin Xiao, it seemed that he was showing his loyalty, but in fact it showed Lin Xiao's incompetence! He was calculated by a few people from the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, and he was asked to come out as a businessman who was not even the core of the sect, and Lin Xiao didn't have to mix in the Kamikaze Continent when it was passed out!
If the answer is that you want to get ahead, it will be even more unforgivable! Because of your own selfish interests, let the sect have one more enemy, and if you put it in the door rules, you will directly cut off one hand and expel it from the sect!
"What....... Don't know how to answer?"
"The sect master spares his life! The little one knows his mistake, and the little one shouldn't make his own decisions!"
Ma Feng, who had figured it out, lay on the ground, his trembling voice full of pleading.
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Take Ma Feng down for me!"
"Yes!"
"Sect Master!"
Ma Feng's face changed greatly.
"How...... Not convinced?"
Looking at Ma Feng, who was being held up by several guards and constantly struggling, Lin Xiao slowly got up.
"When the sect was established, it was already announced to the public that the Proud World Chamber of Commerce was a part of the Proud God Sect! Therefore, your words and deeds not only represent yourself, represent the Chamber of Commerce, but also represent the Proud God Sect!
Lin Xiao's words not only made Ma Feng speechless, but also made Zhou Qingyang and several guards on the side nervous.
"Do you know how much impact you have brought to the sect because of your self-assertion? Do you think that taking the opportunity to suppress the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce will be beneficial to the development of the sect? Do you know that just because of your idiotic decision, it may affect Lao Tzu's big affairs!"
As soon as Lin Xiao became angry, his foul mouth also burst out.
He was angry for a reason!
Some time ago, he wandered among several major forces, the purpose was so that he would not have any worries during the trip to the Ethereal Sect! But Ma Feng's decision made things changeable!
The relationship between Ye Wuxian and the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce is known to the empire, and the brotherhood between Lin Xiao and Ye Wuxian has long been no secret. People who don't know about Ma Feng's actions this time will definitely think that it was Lin Xiao's instructions, think about it...... He didn't even give his own face to worship his eldest brother, and even the people he was protecting had to move, which would only make other forces feel that Lin Xiao was domineering and that the Proud God Sect was inflated!
Why? Because if Lin Xiao could even ignore Ye Wuxian, how could they believe that Lin Xiao would support several forces after they entered the Spirit Realm, instead of taking the opportunity to give him a hand?
In fact, Lin Xiao's worries did happen! Zhang Ziqian and Jiang Rumei believed in Lin Xiao's character, so they guessed that this time the time was made by the people under the Proud God Sect, but there were still many people in the family who raised questions, if Lin Xiao didn't show up again, and the matter was more serious, I am afraid that several major forces would discuss and reconsider the previous decision!
"Hold on!"
Lin Xiao was too lazy to explain too much to Ma Feng.
There are no rules, if Ma Feng is not severely punished this time, there is no guarantee that his subordinates will make some trouble in the future! Moreover, Lin Xiao knows how to eliminate the misunderstanding of several forces at the moment, and how to explain to Shen Dong'er and Ye Wuxian, even if it is not his intention, but this matter is the first trouble of the Proud World Chamber of Commerce after all.
Pacing slowly in the hall, looking at the solemnity on Lin Xiao's face, Zhou Qingyang chose to be silent very interestingly. From Lin Xiao's words just now, it was clear that there must be a chain reaction in this matter, Zhou Qingyang did not ask curiously, but quietly waited for Lin Xiao's instructions.
After a long time, Lin Xiao slowly stopped, and when he turned his head to look at Zhou Qingyang, there was already a touch of firmness in his eyes.
"Qing Yang, make an appointment for me with Shen Zhennan's seniors to meet on the first floor of the world, and at the same time let the people from the Beidou Pavilion and Tianlou come over together, and at the same time send people to the Zhang family, the Yan family, and the Baihuamen to inform their principals to come to the imperial capital!
"Yes!"
Zhou Qingyang did not hesitate at all, and took the order.
