Chapter 109
"So is it serious or not?"
"It only looks serious. Didn't you see us still going to class that afternoon... Hey, hey, hey, don't cry!"
“Woo…”
After finally coaxing the little junior sister to stop crying, the sixth senior sister pulled over the still hesitant eldest senior sister and told her what had happened before.
At the beginning, the Songling Sect found an excuse to cause trouble, and the elders of the Qiuhua Sect habitually gave in. As a result, the other party jokingly asked for several Qiuhua Sect disciples to serve as personal maids for their disciples.
It's unclear what the Fifth Elder was thinking, but she actually shifted her gaze to the disciple beside her, pretending to be ready to make a choice. Upon learning of this, the Grand Elder, now largely inactive, stormed into the reception hall, first slapping the Fifth Elder in the face, then personally beating up the targeted female disciples, leaving them bruised and battered, their mouths twisted, and their eyes squinting. This finally caused the Songling Sect to lose interest in the person.
"Is that the day when you all suddenly started wearing veils?" The eldest sister recalled that one day when she went to eat after sword practice, she saw many people wearing veils walking towards the cafeteria.
"Yes, afterward, the Grand Elder complained that our expressions weren't distorted enough, that we weren't acting miserable enough, and he gave us a lecture." Sixth Senior Sister wiped her face, hunched over, and mimicked the Grand Elder's tone, saying in a muffled voice, "Well done, but your expression should be a little more ferocious, and your screams should be even more shrill! As long as you're ferocious enough that no one dares to attack you, you'll be safe for now!"
'Safe for now'
"What else? If there is an absolutely safe place in this world, why should people pray for peace and health during festivals? Wouldn't it be better to just move to an absolutely safe place?" Sixth Senior Sister straightened up and patted her back.
The Grand Elder had also said that, rather than crying, she hoped everyone would be angry, remember this feeling of powerlessness, and then become stronger. However, she wasn't good at sentimentalizing, so she didn't mention it.
"So, the Fifth Elder was locked up because of this?" The junior sister opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Originally, the Sect Master had intended to only cripple her martial arts to prevent her from attacking the disciples." Sixth Senior Sister shrugged. "But the Grand Elder felt that the Fifth Elder was simply too bored to do such a thing as betraying a disciple. So, she dumped her at the docks and left the Fifth Elder to fend for herself."
It’s not that Qiuhua Sect has no work to do, but the Supreme Elder is worried that those disciples who are unaware of the dangers of the world will be soft-hearted, so he would rather take some effort to send people away, and even hired a disciple who had left the sect to help watch over them, for a fee.
"So you all know all these things, but you just hid them from me and Senior Sister." The younger sister angrily buried her face in the arms of the second sister beside her.
"I don't want to hide it, but everyone thinks that Senior Sister is very hard-working just practicing martial arts, so there's no need to add to her troubles by talking about these trivial matters. As for you..."
"Do you feel that the topic has gone off track for a long time?" The second sister rubbed the little sister's head and glanced outside: "We can't keep blocking the door of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Ah, yes, we were just planning to say...what was that?" The junior sister raised her head with a confused look on her face.
"...Tell me how to solve this situation!" Sixth Senior Sister wanted to slam the table again.
"Solving this problem means we won't have trouble selling our stuff, right?" The younger sister didn't understand why she was so bothered by this question. "If it doesn't work, I'll go find some friends I know. They all like what we sell."
"That's not the question..."
"Let's try with the same person as before." The eldest sister stood up.
The second senior sister was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "Is it the person that even the Songling Sect's senior brother is a little afraid of? Senior sister, do you know where he came from?"
"I don't know, but she can't be worse than the people from Songling Sect, right?" The eldest sister motioned for others to follow.
The sisters guarding the door opened the Chamber of Commerce's gate and followed the eldest sister upstairs. The people outside saw the door open and tentatively walked in. Seeing no one to drive them away, they immediately sat down and looked around, trying to detect any signs of gossip. Unfortunately, there was no one in the hall.
Hearing the door open, the staff member who had been chatting with Bei Qiao upstairs sighed inwardly, immediately went to the water room to grab a pot of tea, and ran downstairs with a business smile on his face. Bei Qiao waited upstairs for a while, and just as he was about to go downstairs to the basement, he was stopped by someone from Qiu Huamen on the stairs.
"Do business with me." Bei Qiao looked at the other party with interest: What's this? Do I look like a businessman?
"Yes, we are very sincere." The eldest sister felt a little abrupt after she spoke, but as a martial arts fanatic with a straightforward personality, she was not good at interpersonal communication. After being asked back, she didn't know what else to do except to speak directly.
"Should I say yes or no?" Bei Qiao pinched his chin. "What if you had appeared two years later, allowing me to develop in the other world first? Now I really am... Wait, it seems that there is not no way at all?"
"Please." The eldest sister smiled at Bei Qiao and habitually used a conciliatory tone.
"My senior sister is not pretty, very ugly!" Perhaps because she felt that Bei Qiao had been looking at the senior sister for too long, the sixth senior sister suddenly squeezed over and blocked the senior sister behind her with her neck stretched out.
"Six, what are you doing? This person is a girl, she won't do anything to me." The eldest sister pulled the person blocking her aside: "I'm sorry, my junior sister misunderstood..."
Senior Sister: I am obviously the most powerful person in the sect except for the elders. Why do you always put me and Junior Sister in the same position?
"What can a girl do...ah, a girl! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Sixth Senior Sister quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake. If Bei Qiao hadn't acted quickly, she would have kowtowed to Bei Qiao on the spot.
"I'm not in charge of the business side of things, but I can ask some acquaintances and see what they're willing to do." Bei Qiao released the hand that was supporting the Sixth Senior Sister: "I wonder if you guys..."
"Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Bei Qiao stood up and walked downstairs: If Young Escort Leader Qiao Qiao can't catch the big pie, he can call other players to share it together!
"Sister, is this okay?" Watching Bei Qiao leave, the second sister was a little worried: "Should we send someone to follow..."
"Don't. It's too hurtful to suspect others openly. They have spoken for us before." The eldest sister patted the second sister on the shoulder: "I know I am not as good as you in judging people, but this person's character is at least better than that of the Songling Sect." The eldest sister was unsure, but if she wanted to succeed, she had to take the first step. If this way doesn't work, then she can try another way.
"That's right. We can't gamble with the conscience of the Songling Sect." The second sister's eyes became firm. "They were clearly trying to test our bottom line just now. We can't retreat, not even a single step."
"Yes, we can't retreat." The eldest sister nodded slowly. "Continue to practice after returning! Fists are the only way to win. One day, I will train to the point where I can make no one in Qiuhua Sect dare to bully me!"
On the other side, Bei Qiao walked into the basement and without bothering to find a place to sit down, he immediately opened the Chamber of Commerce interface and issued a task.
Chamber of Commerce Mission: Doing Business with Qiu Huamen
Mission content: Do business. The goods list is as follows. This sect has just broken up with its partner Songling Sect. It is recommended that those who are powerful and not afraid of trouble take up the mission to avoid retaliation from the former partner.
Mission location: Second floor of the official chamber of commerce in Luodan City
Task Reward: Free of agency fees
The mission was released, and many players who were doing the mission in the basement almost closed it after seeing it: What does that mean? If there is no mission reward, I have to pay you to complete the mission, why don't you just go to heaven? Doing a mission will bring you enemies, and the system can actually let you send this mission, it's really... eh? The system didn't think there was anything wrong with this mission
After re-opening the mission and reviewing it, several players who had connections quickly stood up and walked out.
When a group of people claiming to be honest businessmen suddenly came to their door, the eldest sister of Qiuhua Sect was stunned on the spot, and the other sisters were also stunned.
"Excuse me, what is this..." The eldest sister looked at Bei Qiao, who had put on a mask for some reason and returned to the second floor.
"I don't have any suitable channels for you at the moment, but they should have some." Bei Qiao pushed the mask on his face: "I am not responsible for guaranteeing their character or capital, I just provide some options for friends who meet for the first time. As for what you choose, I will not interfere, nor will I influence your thinking with my personal feelings." Although the eldest sister seems to be a person with good character, Bei Qiao is not a golden finger grandfather and has no obligation to provide plug-ins. This time, issuing the task is already worthy of his conscience.
"Friend," the senior sister of Qiuhua Sect pointed at herself, somewhat puzzled.
"Let's be friends." Bei Qiao stretched out his hand: "I'm Qiao Qiao." If we become friends, he will probably help out next time. Well, we'll talk about the next thing next time.
After a few seconds of hesitation, the Qiuhua Sect's senior sister reached out and shook Beiqiao's hand. She understood Beiqiao's intentions. He didn't have the resources that suited her, but she offered her more options. However, what she needed was a force that could intimidate the Songling Sect. Could these people... do that?
"You are welcome to visit Qiuhuamen in the future." The eldest sister laughed at herself: Never mind, I have no obligation to help anyway. It's already very good that they are willing to introduce me to someone.
"Okay, you're all welcome to visit me in Linjie City in the future." Although Bei Qiao was from Yuanshan Village, she now had her own house in Linjie City, so rounding it off, she could be considered a Linjie City resident. Yuanshan Village, their base, was not suitable to be revealed to the natives.
The eldest sister gave Bei Qiao a token of Qiuhua Sect and thanked him. Then, with the help of the younger sister, she talked with these channel dealers for a while.
They had no choice before, but now they hope to have enough autonomy, and it would be even better if they could make the Songling faction more afraid of them.
