Chapter 1554: Chapter 1551: Silver Moon Commerce Association Headquarters!

After Tian Kun left the square, he immediately went to find Yue Zheng since the news of Yue Qing’s return alive was no small matter, and he needed to inform Yue Zheng and the senior members of the Silver Moon Merchant Association right away.

In the blink of an eye, the news spread throughout the Silver Moon Merchant Association, and almost all the high-level officials and staff members were aware that Yue Qing had returned to the Silver Moon Merchant Association!

Silver Moon Merchant Association, Yue Zheng’s study room.

"Yue Hua, have you arranged everything with the high-level members of the Silver Moon Merchant Association?" Yue Zheng, looking aged and serious, said in a deep, solemn voice.

"Rest assured, father, I have already informed them of Yue Qing’s death first. After they heard it, they probably can’t think of anyone else in the Silver Moon Merchant Association more suited for the position of Chairman than you."

Yue Hua said excitedly, "Moreover, they’ve all said that during the vote to elect the new Chairman of the Silver Moon Merchant Association, they will stand by your side and announce at the Divine Weapon Feast that you are the new Chairman of the Silver Moon Merchant Association."

Yue Hua said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yue Zheng immediately leaned back in the armchair with immense satisfaction and said, "After many years of planning, we have finally reached this step today!"

"Then, my child must first congratulate you on taking over the position of Chairman of the Silver Moon Merchant Association, from now on you are one of the Chairmen of the eight major business associations on the Lingnan Continent." Yue Hua said with a light laugh.

"One of the eight major business associations? Hmph, sooner or later, I will make sure that on the Lingnan Continent, there is only our Silver Moon Merchant Association." Yue Zheng said coldly:

"If that girl Yue Qing wasn’t so stubborn and had agreed to marry the young master of the Wolf Pack Commerce Association, with the strength of the Silver Moon and Wolf Pack Commerce Associations, it would be as easy as turning over one’s hand to annex the other merchant associations."

"Then, we will destroy the Wolf Pack Commerce Association, and within ten years, the Silver Moon Merchant Association will surely become the largest merchant association on the Lingnan Continent!"

"Besides, once she’s married off, there will be no one else to compete for the position of Chairman, killing two birds with one stone. It’s a pity that girl is so stubborn and difficult to persuade, just like her father!"

"I have talked to her father multiple times, telling him to annex the other merchant associations, but he always said it wasn’t the time yet, it wasn’t the time yet. Hmph, such womanly kindness, I had no choice but to make arrangements to send him off."

"Now that Yue Qing is gone as well, these father and daughter are reunited."

"Big brother, consider this my way of repaying you as your younger brother."

Yue Zheng’s lips curled up with a cold smirk, his eyes narrowed, revealing a menacing look.

"Father is truly wise and valiant, having placed a slow poison in the body of the old president long ago, with its effects gradually consuming him over the years, it’s now incurable," Yue Hua said with a light laugh.

"Hmph," Yue Zheng snorted coldly, neither confirming nor denying it.

All of a sudden, a startled voice came from the doorway: "Vice President Yue Zheng, Young Master Yue Hua, the old servant Tian Kun seeks an audience."

"Tian Kun, what is he doing here?" Yue Zheng was startled: "Let him in."

Yue Hua walked over and opened the door of the study, saw Tian Kun waiting outside, and said, "Come in."

Yue Zheng gave a cold look and said, "With the Divine Weapon Feast imminent and all the chambers of commerce busy preparing, Tian Kun, as one of the main managers within the Silver Moon Merchant Association, what are you doing here instead of being busy in Haizhen City?"

Tian Kun bowed respectfully: "Vice President Yue Zheng, Young Master Yue Hua, I came here because of an important matter..."

Yue Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is it?"

Tian Kun said, "Just now, I saw Miss Yue Qing return in the Spirit Boat Square of the Silver Moon Merchant Association!"

"What!"

Yue Hua and Yue Zheng simultaneously widened their eyes.

A look of shock and panic appeared on Yue Hua’s face.

After a brief exclamation, Yue Zheng turned to look at Yue Hua, his gaze slightly questioning as if to say: Didn’t you tell me that Yue Qing was already dead?

At this moment, Yue Hua’s face was also full of confusion; inside Wuji Mountain Manor, he had arranged nearly a thousand warriors from the Perfect Yin Saint Realm and even left Li Zong there, how could Yue Qing still possibly be alive and return?

Yue Hua was utterly dumbfounded.

Yue Hua asked, "Has Yue Qing returned? Who else came back with her?"

"Apart from Miss Yue Qing, there were three men who returned with her, but none of them are significant figures; two are at the Perfect Yin Saint Realm, and one is at the Ninth Level of the Yin Saint Realm,"

Tian Kun hurriedly said.

Yue Zheng asked, "Has Yue Qing returned? Where is she now?"

Tian Kun said, "As soon as Miss Yue Qing returned, she didn’t take any rest and immediately sent someone to summon the high ranks of the Silver Moon Commerce Association to the Conference Hall. At this moment, I came to inform the Chairman."

Upon hearing that Yue Qing immediately wanted to convene a high-level meeting upon returning, Yue Hua’s face showed some surprise.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Yue Hua asked Yue Zheng somewhat cluelessly.

Yue Zheng’s old face hardened, his expression fierce, "Let’s go, let’s see what Yue Qing is up to."

"You had one job to do and this is how you handle it?"

Yue Zheng coldly glared at Yue Hua.

Yue Hua, with a wronged expression, said, "Dad, I arranged that..."

Yue Hua interjected, "Enough, I don’t want to hear your excuses anymore, go to the Conference Hall!"

Yue Zheng strode out of the study.

Yue Hua followed a bit slower, his face angry, his eyes flashing fiercely, grinding his teeth as he followed Yue Zheng.

...

Yue Zheng, accompanied by Yue Hua, hurried towards the Conference Hall.

Upon reaching the Great Hall outside the Conference Hall, Yue Zheng looked up and happened to see, inside the Conference Hall, a woman sitting on the Chairman’s seat, her face covered with a thin veil.

Seeing Yue Qing sitting in the Chairman’s chair, Yue Zheng’s face hardened, feeling somewhat displeased in his heart.

Beneath Yue Qing, a young man was sitting, and it was none other than Lin Bai!

As for Lu Ao and Fang Jin, although Yue Qing asked them to sit down, they declined, knowing this was not a place to show off, as it was the high-level meeting of the Silver Moon Commerce Association.

What status do they have? How could they possibly have a seat here?

But Lin Bai was different. With the status of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master, wherever he went in the Lingnan Continent, he was treated as a distinguished guest with utmost courtesy.

Yue Zheng, noticing Yue Qing sitting in the Chairman’s position, felt a surge of murderous intent flicker in his eyes.

The moment Yue Zheng’s eyes revealed murderous intent, Lin Bai sensed it.

"That must be Yue Zheng," Lin Bai noted nonchalantly upon seeing the middle-aged man who entered.

Lu Ao and Fang Jin both slightly nodded, confirming the identity of the man.

Walking into the Conference Hall, Yue Zheng laughed heartily and said, "Oh, my niece Yue Qing, you’ve finally returned; I missed you dearly. I had sent Yue Hua to meet you at the border of the Linhai Dynasty, but that boy didn’t go, which really angered me. I was just about to punish him seriously."

"Yue Hua, truly, I arranged for you to pick up the young lady, why didn’t you go? The road is so dangerous, passing through so many dynasties. If something had happened to the young lady, how could we explain it to your uncle!"

Yue Zheng publicly scolded Yue Hua harshly.

Yue Hua kept admitting his mistakes.

Lin Bai, seeing this scene, chuckled lightly: "I always thought my acting reached the peak of perfection, but it turns out there’s always someone better!"

"Amazing! Truly amazing!" Lu Ao and Fang Jin also couldn’t help but admire.
