Chapter 740 - Chapter 740 Chapter 740 Maoshans Responsibility

Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Maoshan’s Responsibility Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Maoshan’s Responsibility Everyone here is in the VIP lounge, and it’s an international flight. No one’s status is going to be poor, so what Gu Jiahui said really wasn’t showing off.

But still, some faces turned sour, “Accommodation is easy enough, but coming to Siam, you’ve got to try some local specialties.”

“The local specialties of Siam, you’ve got to choose wisely,” the only person who could say that was Feng Jing, “Some snacks, the Siamese can eat without issues, but we Huaxia people, they can cause upset stomachs.”

As a travel expert, she had her reasons for saying this with confidence.

In fact, people’s digestive systems are naturally different. “Getting sick because the body is not accustomed to the water and soil” isn’t just an empty phrase.

Suddenly, someone spoke up, “That’s true, I heard that a real estate boss got food poisoning in Phuket Island, was vomiting and had diarrhea, and that was just a couple of days ago…”

Yang Yuxin smiled slightly when she heard this and turned her head to look at Sister Hong, “Nine times out of ten, it’s the guy from Splendid Properties.”

Director Guo had his connections back in the mainland. Although he couldn’t get anyone from the Gu Family’s contact information, he still considered himself part of Madam Wen’s camp, helping her oversee the group’s finances.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for her help — the Crown Prince had said that if he couldn’t get the Gu Family’s forgiveness, he shouldn’t bother coming back!

Madam Wen was quite dissatisfied with his behavior; after all, she was a woman. How could she tolerate the molestation of others?

But Splendid Properties was a Wen Family business, the financial director’s incompetence aside, any impact on the Wen Family’s interests would be problematic.

So while she cursed Director Guo, she still had to find someone to communicate with Yang Yuxin.

She didn’t go to Director Yang directly for such a trivial matter; it didn’t warrant her personal involvement. Besides… to be frank, Yang Yuxin’s status wasn’t high enough to warrant her initiating a call.

But to Yang Yuxin, if Madam Wen didn’t get involved personally, she could withstand the pressure; nobody’s face mattered.

Her reply was straightforward — Although my husband is no longer here, my daughter and I are not to be trifled with just by anyone; both my husband’s family and my own still have elders around.

What she held a grudge about the most, of course, was that Gu wouldn’t show his face personally, but then she heard from more than one person that this bastard had a bad stomach in Phuket Island, suffered diarrhea for many days, and showed no signs of improvement.

She didn’t keep this from Sister Hong. The Zhang Family Sisters were the ones who were harassed severely by Director Guo. Director Yang was doing them a favor, not just for her own sake, but for her daughter’s as well.

Speaking of which, of all Feng Jun’s female disciples, the Zhang Family Sisters accounted for two, and Zhang Caixin seemed to have the potential to become the second in command at Luohua Manor. Director Yang naturally hoped to build good relationships with powerful “classmates” for her daughter.

So it’s true, parents’ worries know no bounds.

Feng Jun also heard their conversation and simply smiled without taking it seriously.

Zhang Caixin noticed the hint of a smile on his face and leaned in to whisper, “Did you do this?”

“Of course,” Feng Jun whispered back with a chuckle. “Your sister said if I could take care of this for her, she’d agree to anything I ask.”

Zhang Caixin’s eyes darted about mischievously, “So, what do you want her to agree to?”

Feng Jun tilted his head, pausing thoughtfully.

Sister Hong faintly heard their conversation, inclined her body slightly, craned her neck, and leaned her ear closer.

Feng Jun felt that it wasn’t appropriate to speak carelessly in such a setting, so he responded with a light chuckle, “If I weren’t considering our national image, I would have just killed him outright. For now, let him dangle between life and death.”

Sister Hong gave him a sidelong glance and nodded, “Right, I like your approach, making him suffer is the most satisfying… Wait, have you thought about what you want to ask of me?”

You’ve grown, eh? Knowing that I’m trying to sidetrack the conversation! Feng Jun looked at her with a smile, about to say something, then suddenly recalled: when had she grown like this? When he used to frequent the club, Sister Hong was already a company president; how could she not understand something like this?

But these days, as he had grown increasingly successful and dominant, he gradually started to treat her as an ordinary person.

In fact, for him two years ago, not to mention Sister Hong, even a startlingly beautiful and aloof stranger like Feng Jing was an admired existence in his eyes, a rare beauty with both wealth and looks.

These shifts in mindset were a result of the changes in his status, an outcome of his efforts, but he couldn’t let himself become conceited because of this.

While he was silent, Zhang Caixin spoke up, “Can Kunlun handle the aftermath of your actions against that guy Gu?”

Kunlun? Feng Jun’s eyebrows knit together. Before he could answer, his mobile phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

International roaming charges were a bit steep; although he wasn’t short on money, why answer a call from an unknown number? If it were a telemarketing call, it would just be annoying.

But the next moment, his eyebrows furrowed slightly; this cell number was… from Siqu?

The call was from Daoist Ma, his voice sounding quite angry, “Senior Feng, people from Kunlun are causing trouble on our Maoshan…”

Three people traveled from Kunlun to Maoshan, among them was a man surnamed Kou, a Great Qi Refining Cultivator; the other two, one surnamed Li and the other Ju. Upon arriving at Maoshan, they wanted to borrow the Ancestral Tablet for a look.

The ancestral tablet of Maoshan now is not just the talisman of the revitalizing ancestor but also Maoshan’s Storage Magical Artifact.

Tang Tianshi flatly refused the unreasonable request, and as a result, that Martial Cultivator surnamed Li directly challenged the entirety of Maoshan, claiming that it was just a mere Storage Artifact and whoever could best me would be compensated with another Storage Artifact by our Kunlun.

This matter truly cannot be tolerated. What place is Maoshan? Not to mention one of the top ten Cave Heavens, but this is where the Three Pure Ones once practiced the Dao, to be provoked in such a manner is truly to “wreck the place.”

Moreover, Maoshan has been on the rise recently, with the reopening of Jintan Huayang Celestial Part, a rare grand event in Daoist Sects in recent years. Kunlun’s oppression is truly unacceptable.

Tang Wangsun directly asked, has our Maoshan ever wronged Kunlun in any way?

The people from Kunlun didn’t mention the illness of those four people–that excuse was what triggered their episode. But to specifically mention it, still seemed a bit far-fetched. Uncle Kou simply said: This kind of thing, your Maoshan’s revitalizing ancestor has also done, except that he robbed Spirit Stones.

The four Spirit Stones left by the revitalizing ancestor were indeed… all used ones.

Cultivators fighting over resources often makes it difficult to clearly discern right from wrong; to say that Maoshan’s history is squeaky clean would also be nonsense.

There’s no need to bring up these stale stories. Tang Wenji saw that the other party was intent on making trouble and her temper rose: At worst it’s just a fight, so what?

She asked bluntly: Will you, a Great Qi Cultivator of the Qi Refinement Realm, take part, or do you plan to bully the weak?

Because she also noticed that the Martial Cultivator named Li Chonggu was only at the same level as her, a Middle-Stage Martial Master.

As a newly promoted Middle-Stage Martial Master and being a woman, she might not be able to outmatch him, but they have been bullied to their doorstep, and if she didn’t even dare to fight, how could Maoshan keep its face in the Daoist community?

And what if she won? They would gain another Storage Magical Artifact.

Even in the Mobile Phone realm, Storage Magical Artifacts are not cheap. Storage Talismans are only used below the Qi Refinement Realm, but there are many within the Qi Refining Cultivators who cannot afford a Storage Bag.

Take a gamble, and a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle, yes, that’s the idea.

Even if the gamble is lost, it won’t be a big deal, at worst Maoshan’s Ancestral Tablet will just have to be shown to the others, and then Maoshan can fully invite the backers from Luohua Manor, not believing that Kunlun’s people would dare to play any tricks–Kunlun isn’t the only one with Great Qi Cultivators.

Tang Wenji thinking this way certainly had no issue; she didn’t even want to disturb the people of Luohua Manor easily in the early stages.

Although Maoshan is ranked lower among the top ten Cave Heavens, being listed among the top ten Cave Heavens has its pride.

If everything depends on external things, can Maoshan still be Maoshan?

The competition is about to start now, and Daoist Ma feels a bit uneasy, so he quietly gave Feng Jun a call.

After Feng Jun got the message, he was also somewhat emotional.

Speaking from the heart, his opinion of Maoshan has always been just so-so.

Yes, he has a good relationship with Maoshan, but that’s based on a substantial foundation of cooperation between the two sides, and affection that has developed over time.

But judging solely on the Daoist lineage of Maoshan, he doesn’t think highly of it; this lineage doesn’t have any earth-shattering figures or inheritance, and their actions… how to say it? Ha.

Without mentioning anything else, just take Zhuang Haoyun’s theft of Maoshan’s Ancestral Tablet for instance. It would generally be considered wrong by others, but in Feng Jun’s view, he had spent 500,000 on a Daoist ritual at Maoshan and asked for the tablet beforehand.

Did the Ancestral Tablet of Maoshan cure Zhuang Zesheng? It did not, and Maoshan must have some idea about this outcome, right? Impossible that they don’t!

Later, Zhuang Haoyun stole it in a desperate bid to please Feng Jun for his son’s health, which itself is reprehensible, but… the hearts of the parents are pitiable worldwide, and it doesn’t mean his morals have degraded, just that the act was somewhat despicable.

But before this, Zhuang Haoyun didn’t complain about Maoshan taking money without delivering results, and when he wanted to borrow the Ancestral Tablet, he asked openly. Maoshan simply refused.

If all of Maoshan’s actions in this cause and effect are said to be justifiable, that’s also not appropriate.

After all, in this Dharma Ending Age, most Great Cultivators have vanished, and for the survival and continuation of various Daoist lineages, some unscrupulous methods have been employed.

Feng Jun has no right to criticize Maoshan for doing wrong, but he does not approve of Maoshan’s actions–Cure well if you can cure, but if not, then don’t treat at all. You took a large sum of money and didn’t cure the person, and when someone wants to borrow something valuable of yours to use, why be so petty?

If you really don’t trust them, just send a couple of people to supervise; in a society governed by laws, it’s not like Zhuang Haoyun would dare to kill for treasure.

However, the attitude of Maoshan’s Little Celestial Master today has indeed won his appreciation: They didn’t plan to contact him at all, they wanted to rely on their own strength to uphold the reputation of Jintan Huayang Celestial Part.

Worthy of being a Daoist lineage passed down for thousands of years, just recover a little bit of energy, and they have their own responsibilities!
