Chapter 1536: Chapter 1533: Yue Qing’s Difficult Situation! (5 more)

Inside the room, Lu Ao was enjoying himself, bringing out several jars of fine wine for a hearty drink among the three of them.

Lu Ao said, "The Old President of the Silver Moon Commerce Association was poisoned mysteriously, and no one ever knew when he was poisoned. But the poisoning has been more than ten years already."

"He didn’t die early, nor did he die late, but right before Miss Yue Qing’s five-year term was about to end. This matter unavoidably feels strange."

Lu Ao said this with a profound meaning.

Fang Jin said, "Lu Ao, are you implying that... Yue Zheng killed the Old President?"

Lu Ao hurriedly responded, "I didn’t say that, these words can’t be carelessly spoken. What if Yue Zheng hears about it? Could I still mingle in Haizhen City?"

Lin Bai, however, didn’t care why the Old President died; instead, he began to ponder about Yue Qing.

Seeing Lin Bai deep in thought, Fang Jin asked, "Brother Dongfang, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "I’m thinking about the whereabouts of this lady, Yue Qing."

"If we go by what elder brother Lu Ao said, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce is a family alliance that regards benefits above all else, everything is centered around benefits."

"And Yue Qing is the Old President’s only daughter, and she has established extraordinary military achievements at the Eastern Branch."

"If we say Yue Zheng wants to become the Chairman of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, then Yue Qing would definitely be a strong competitor for him."

"And for the benefit of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, there are only two possible outcomes for Yue Qing!"

"The first outcome, Yue Qing agrees to Yue Zheng’s proposal, marrying the Eldest Young Master of the Wolf Pack Commerce Association. In doing so, Yue Qing would leave the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, and Yue Zheng would have no more adversaries. He could rightfully become the Chairman, and Yue Qing’s marriage could bring huge benefits to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"This is the outcome that the top brass of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce and Yue Zheng most wish to see."

Lin Bai analyzed coolly.

Lu Ao said with a worried and bitter face, "This would be difficult! Yue Qing is an extraordinary woman, naturally proud, with meticulous thoughts. If she had any intention of submitting, she wouldn’t have left headquarters voluntarily five years ago to head for the Eastern Branch."

Lin Bai nodded, "That’s right, Yue Qing will not submit, she will certainly struggle fiercely."

"Then the only thing waiting for her is the second outcome."

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed.

Fang Jin asked curiously, "What outcome?"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "Elder brother Fang Jin, think about it: If Yue Qing is unwilling to marry into the Wolf Pack Commerce Association, and she is also a strong competitor for Yue Zheng in becoming the Chairman, do you think Yue Zheng could let her live?"

Fang Jin’s eyes narrowed, "Are you suggesting... Yue Zheng will kill Yue Qing? Does that mean Miss Yue Qing’s return this time is a ’Nine Deaths One Life’ situation?"

Lu Ao said with a faint smile, "It’s not Nine Deaths One Life; I can guarantee that if Yue Qing does not agree to Yue Zheng’s arrangement, her return this time will be certain death!"

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed and he murmured in his heart, "Knowing it’s certain death, will you still go back? Could it be that the position of Chairman of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce is truly more important than your own life?"

At this moment, Lin Bai recalled the pure and gentle demeanor of Yue Qing.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s go out for some fresh air," said Lu Ao with a smile.

Lin Bai and Fang Jin looked at the empty wine jars on the table, instantly exchanged a knowing smile, and nodded in agreement.

The three left Lin Bai’s room, heading up to the deck.

Once on the deck.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

"Beat him to death!"

"Sword Cultivator Gao Rui is so formidable."

The deck was filled with a noisy clamor.

Guardians formed a circle, and within it, two Warriors were sparring back and forth.

"What are they doing? Let’s go take a look." Lu Ao, known for his nosiness, noticed the gathering of so many Warriors and immediately went over.

The three squeezed into the crowd and saw Gao Rui competing in martial arts with a Sword Cultivator.

"Is that the best you can do? Then you’re bound to lose today!" Gao Rui snorted coldly, raised his Treasure Sword, and with that, sent his opponent flying ten meters away, covered in wounds.

The Warrior defeated by Gao Rui was riddled with sword cuts and couldn’t stop coughing up blood.

This didn’t seem like a competition at all; it was more like a fight to the death.

"Gao Rui is going too far, isn’t he? Was it necessary to be that harsh in a friendly sparring match? He almost took the man’s life." Fang Jin said with displeasure upon seeing the fallen Warrior.

Both Lin Bai and Lu Ao remained calm.

"Well done!"

"Gao Rui is really amazing; with that sword strike, he has continuously defeated more than ten challengers."

"That’s sick."

Gao Rui’s victory elicited a chorus of cheers from the surrounding crowd.

At this moment, a young woman exclaimed with delight, "Eldest Brother Gao Rui is so powerful, there’s not a single Warrior here who can match you!"

This young woman was none other than "Song Zi," whom Gao Rui had saved more than twenty days ago.

Upon hearing this, Gao Rui burst into laughter and bragged, "After all, I am a Core Disciple of the True Martial Sword Sect. These losers are no match for me."

Seeing the behavior of Gao Rui and Song Zi, Lu Ao couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "Disgusting."

Both Lin Bai and Fang Jin smiled faintly at Lu Ao’s comment, without retort.

However, Lu Ao’s remark was overheard by Gao Rui and Song Zi.

Gao Rui looked towards Lu Ao with an unfriendly expression and demanded coldly, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Song Zi, displeased, said, "Such impoliteness, Warrior. Who are you calling disgusting?"

With irritation, Lu Ao replied, "Do you really want me to repeat it, Song Zi?"

Lu Ao looked at Song Zi and Gao Rui with disgust in his eyes.

Originally, Lu Ao had no fondness for Gao Rui, a disciple of the True Martial Sword Sect, and now Song Zi’s behavior only fueled his anger.

"You’re asking for death!" Angered by Lu Ao’s words, Song Zi attacked with a palm strike at an eerily fast speed, aimed straight at Lu Ao.

Surprised by her incredible power, Lin Bai exclaimed, "How does she have such formidable strength!"

Lin Bai quickly stepped in front of Lu Ao and pointed a finger, concentrating a terrifying force that struck against Song Zi’s palm.

The two collided, and Song Zi was sent flying over ten meters, while Lin Bai also took a step back!

When Lin Bai stepped back, his expression darkened.

Within the Yin Saint Realm, not even Gao Rui could force Lin Bai to retreat one step, yet Song Zi had done so!

At the moment of Song Zi’s attack, Lu Ao felt the terrifying power in her palm wind and was so scared that his face turned pale. Only after seeing Lin Bai take action did Lu Ao breathe a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Lin Bai, gratitude shone in his eyes.

Lu Ao knew very well that if it weren’t for Lin Bai’s intervention, Song Zi’s palm strike would have been enough to nearly kill him!

"Thank you, Brother Dongfang," Lu Ao said appreciatively.

Song Zi, shocked by Lin Bai’s retaliatory strike, had a surprised look on her pretty face and secretly exclaimed, "He’s actually a high-level master!"

She locked eyes with Lin Bai, the viciousness in her gaze flickered and quickly disappeared as she turned to Gao Rui and said, "Eldest Brother Gao Rui, you must stand up for me."

Immediately, Gao Rui demanded coldly, "Dongfang, what do you mean by this?"
