Seeing that the Wang family had secured the medicinal herb field business in the Northern Region so quickly, other family heads immediately began to express their opinions as well.
“My Qian family also supports Miss Su’s election as the young master of Qifeng Mountain. I would also like to ask Fellow Daoist Shen to put in a good word for the Empress and grant my Qian family a few spiritual mine deals.”
"Miss Su is both beautiful and talented, the most suitable candidate for the young master. My Li family fully supports him."
"I would also appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Shen could put in a good word for your cousin, saying that my Li family is willing to take over the processing of spirit jade in the Northern Region."
Three of the six family heads had expressed their opinions, which caused Huang Qi's cheeks to twitch slightly.
Now only the Mo family and the Yan family have not yet expressed their opinions.
However, the reason why the two did not make a clear statement was not because they were unwilling to engage in foreign trade, nor because they supported Huang Feng becoming a young master.
Instead, the two argued over whether to choose the Northern Region or the Central Region.
Patriarch Yan: "The spiritual fields in the Northern Region have high yields, and I plan to do business there."
Patriarch Mo: "What is the Northern Region? Only the Central Region has the grandeur of the world. If we're going to do business there, we should do it there to save face."
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by saying that the Central Region has the grandeur of the world? Does the Northern Region have no grandeur? Are you discriminating against the Northern Region?"
"I was just stating the truth, why are you getting so worked up? That's hilarious! Seriously? You don't actually think the Northern Region can compare to the Central Region, do you?"
"What, you're getting impatient after just a few words? Even if the Central Region is full of rare and precious materials..."
That's over a million miles away from the Southern Region. Even if you transported the treasure back to the Southern Region, it would take at least several months.
By the time you start bringing them back and opening your business, it'll be too late.
"Yes, yes, I got anxious again, I made a bluff again. Anyone who didn't know better would think the Northern Region is very similar to the Southern Region. How much money did you get from them to speak so vehemently in favor of the Northern Region?"
"You're laughing now? You think saying a few nice words to the Northern Region means I got paid? You're the kind of person who just loves to argue. Yes, yes, I did get paid, are you satisfied now? The Mo family's manners are just so low."
"They just can't stand to see others do well. Anyone they don't like is someone who's been paid. So, you must have received a lot of money from them for protecting Zhongyu, right?"
"Look at you, getting agitated again. I'm just stating a fact. Look at all the mess that's been going on in the Northern Region lately."
If the Northern Region is truly so wonderful, why did all three thousand states turn into rebels the moment Ning Ruoxue appeared? The so-called Empress of the Northern Region has such poor governance; it's laughable.
In contrast, the Central Region is vast and rich in resources, possessing everything imaginable. Empress Song Yanran of the Dragon Han Dynasty was exceptionally beautiful and dignified, ruling the Celestial Empire for over two thousand years.
"Compared to your Northern Region and Mu Qiuyao by a long shot? In my opinion, you're just a Mu loyalist, how hilarious!"
"Me, a filial son? No way! Then you must be Song Yanran, right? I've seen you drooling over Song Yanran so many times!"
Now that you have the opportunity to do business in the Central Region, you must be very excited and fantasizing about licking her toes one day.
But sorry, you're not even qualified to lick the dust off the Empress's shoes.
Yes, yes, yes, the Northern Region is in chaos, but your Central Region isn't? The palace coup that happened in the Longhan Heavenly Dynasty a while ago could be turned into a soap opera.
First the Xiongnu appeared, then the Nine Netherworlds appeared, and finally Shen Zhao appeared.
Her presence as Empress Longhan was virtually nonexistent throughout the entire process; the Song Dynasty commentary made no mention of it, automatically filtering out any information unfavorable to Empress Song.
"Is this the only way Mu Xiaozi can attack people? It's really despicable. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the current bad social atmosphere is caused by filial sons and virtuous grandsons like you."
"Yes, yes, yes, things used to be good, everything smelled good, but now everything smells bad. Are you satisfied with that, you scoundrel Song?"
"You're getting impatient! What else can you do besides repeating grades? Are all filial sons this rude? You're really going too far!"
The two argued more and more fiercely, until the topic of the tea party completely deviated from its original purpose and instantly turned into a debate.
"Alright! Stop arguing!"
The farce only ended when Shen Zhao, who always enjoys watching gossip, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop it.
After the profits were distributed among the various parties, Shen Zhao deliberately ignored Huang Qi and stood up to ask again, "I think I've made myself clear enough."
In addition, the Public Tribunal will soon be opening a branch in the Southern Region, and we will rely on your support for many of our business dealings during that time.
After all, we can all make money together. Okay, I've said my piece. So let me say it again: I want Su Yunying to be the young master of Qifeng Mountain.
Who's in favor, and who's opposed?
"I object!"
Huang Qi immediately roared out!
Crack!
Bang~
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhao slapped Huang Qi so hard that he flew away.
"Damn it, you're really asking for it, aren't you? You only feel satisfied when you force me to use force?"
Shen Zhao glanced at the unconscious Huang Qi with disdain, then straightened his clothes and looked at the others.
This move immediately caused cold sweat to pour down the foreheads of the group.
Huang Qi was a fourth-grade Soul Sea expert, yet he was knocked unconscious by Shen Zhao with a single slap?
Just how terrifying is his strength?
At the same time, I was glad that I didn't make a foolish mistake like Huang Qi and break ties with Shen Zhao right from the start.
The next moment, everyone raised their glasses and smiled apologetically at Shen Zhao.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, please rest assured, we will do our best to support Miss Su in taking the position of young master."
The five men tilted their heads back and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
Shen Zhao raised his cup casually, gestured to the others, and then drank it down in one gulp.
