Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses
Chapter 47 - 46: The Old Critic of Nine Provinces

Chapter 47: Chapter 46: The Old Critic of Nine Provinces

In the council hall.

Bai Rou whispered, "Third Brother, he’s gone."

Meaning, how long do you plan to keep squeezing?

And can you use a little less strength?

The tender bamboo shoots are going to spoil.

It hurts.

Yuchi looked outside the door, serious, and whispered in her ear, "Woman, very good."

Which made the woman tremble with laughter, her heart in chaos.

Yuchi returned to his position.

Looking again at the Patriarchs in front, each with a different expression.

His face was full of smiles.

And then...

He suddenly slapped the table with his palm, with a "bang"!

The cups slightly lifted off the table, and Yuchi’s gaze became entirely indifferent.

Xun Xian was startled.

She turned her head immediately to look at Yuchi.

Yuchi put his elbows on the wooden table, his hands clenched into fists resting under his chin.

He began to speak, calm with a hint of anger, "Everyone, I didn’t expect you to disappoint me so much."

"Just now Yun Chun came over, and I couldn’t say much in front of outsiders."

"Now that he’s gone, it’s time for us to talk openly."

"Is the founding of the guild meant to bring you peace?"

Yuchi never thought of the guild as firm as him.

Impossible.

The guild was established because he spoke of many plans, exploiting the greed of these families.

Greed is a virtue, easy to exploit, but if greed meets cowardice, things get complicated.

Now it’s just a Yun Chun, yet these Patriarchs all look ready to flee.

If not for him, Yuchi stepping up at the crucial moment, if not for Xun Xian and others from the government sitting in.

These people might switch sides at the last moment!

If the people’s hearts scatter, the team becomes difficult to lead, either the guild shouldn’t be established, or if established, it must have great determination.

Otherwise, today it’s not just me, Yuchi, squeezing you Bai Rou, it’s as simple as that.

All are lacking education.

With a flick of his hand.

In the silence, Yuchi leaned back in his chair, legs propped up on the table.

"That’s fine."

"I now give you the chance to leave, just fifty thousand silver, you can go."

"You can take refuge in the Cloud Mountain Sect, so that after a lifetime of toil you can add bricks and mortar to the Cloud Mountain Sect."

"Then they can openly bully you."

"You can still boast the elegance of claiming business values harmony."

The five Patriarchs stayed silent.

The County Magistrate and advisor exchanged glances, feeling scolded but not daring to respond.

In contrast, Xun Xian’s face was full of satisfaction; she liked Yuchi’s ruthless stance in critical moments.

He must be decisive; dealing slowly with these people is tiresome.

Here, Yuchi is relatively restrained.

If it were her, Xun Xian, sitting as the chairman, with the cold stares from these people just now.

Afterwards, she might have hanged them up for a beating!

Cold sneer.

Yuchi looked at them one by one, "Embarrassing, isn’t it?"

Narrowed eyes.

Scanning sideways.

"Don’t you feel embarrassed?"

"They’ve come to our guild, what are we afraid of?"

"With the Celestial Capital Department supporting us, we can do business normally, can we not handle those immortal cultivators?"

Yuchi sneered.

"They can close for ten years at a time; as mere mortals, can we not compete with them in business?"

"Has your brain been kicked by a pig?"

"Do we not have a shred of dignity as mortals?"

"Did your ancestors toil and struggle to see you grovel to a sect?"

"Honestly, if your ancestors saw your behavior, they might explode their coffins and cause the ancestral graves to explode on the spot."

All grown adults, being scolded by Yuchi.

A big mouth of old complaints in the Nine Provinces.

Scolding them into shameful silence.

Yuchi couldn’t be bothered to probe everyone further; he seriously looked at the County Magistrate’s shrinking form.

"Right, County Magistrate, am I not correct?"

"Does our government willingly let sects ride over us?"

"Is the government so dumb that it can’t see reality and lies?"

Ah, Third Brother.

What’s it got to do with our government?

You’re scolding your guild people, why drag us into it?

We were the first to state our position, you know.

The County Magistrate glanced at the advisor, who decisively shook his head, "This is the purpose of us helping the guild; some business has already been monopolized by sects."

"The government collects taxes, takes from the people to use on the people. Even if the fat meat slips from our hands, at least the big cycle isn’t a problem."

"Sects take money, from the people and use it for themselves, they pile all gold and silver on themselves, becoming terrifyingly strong."

"They’re bloodsucking."

"The people remain unaware, so sometimes we are helpless too."

Isn’t it so?

County Magistrate, you have quite a few concubines.

And you, advisor, have quite a number of mansions.

Yuchi gave an eye roll at these two.

Both hung their heads, fearful of Yuchi’s scold.

Was it only one person’s mistake?

Certainly not; if the sect can ride over them, it’s partly because the sect is strong, and partly because the government is weak, right?

Not worried about god-like opponents, just pig-like teammates.

Hard to carry the burden.

Full of actors.

When the Celestial Capital Department agreed to protection, Yuchi had reviewed various data.

Now with Yun Chun’s arrival, it further confirmed his suspicions.

Just didn’t expect that even if things didn’t happen, once they did, it was a big deal.

Leaning back in his chair, Yuchi squinted his eyes, carefully reminiscing, also understanding.

When things first showed cracks, the thought wasn’t to fix them but to hide them.

When things could no longer be sustained and erupted, then it became a big issue.

What were they doing earlier?

Playing with little sisters?

Too lazy to complain.

Yuchi had a ball of rage inside.

When he was talking with Yun Chun just now, the others didn’t know.

But Yuchi could clearly feel the killing intent from Yun Chun.

This was killing intent aimed directly at him.

He, after all, was a Qi Cultivation Realm individual; if he were a mere mortal, Yun Chun’s gaze just now would have scared him to death.

This was no joke.

So the old man stands in front to lead everyone in making money; when encountering problems, everyone hides behind him.

For any person, this would be very displeasing.

Yuchi was already much restrained.

Otherwise, when he was behind Bai Rou just now, he might have squeezed her until she cried like a flood over the golden mountain.

No one listens.

Each one still pretends to be wise and calculating.

"No one withdraws?"

No.

Don’t dare.

Afraid of being scolded.

After asking each one individually, confirming no one was withdrawing, Yuchi’s face finally brightened a bit.

"Alright."

"That’s all for today’s matter; in seven days, I ask each of you to provide all business dealings to the guild."

"The guild won’t interfere with your business but will offer guidance on it."

"We are officially declaring war on other Clothing Towns; this kind of battle you should have foreseen long ago."

Yuchi looked at each of them.

"No objections, right?"

Who dares to speak?

Especially Bai Rou, dizzy from the squeezing, she now only wants to go home.

"Thus, the meeting is adjourned!"
