"I say, sell all the raw stones here to Jia Gui, we only want five times the price!"
"This... Senior Brother Xinghe, that's not possible. If we sell to Jia Gui now, we'll be losing half of the profit for nothing!"
Qin Xiangqian didn't understand what was going on with Chu Xinghe, but before he could finish speaking, Chu Xinghe already had something in his hand!
"I say, sell all these raw stones to Jia Gui from the Listening Snow Pavilion, just for five times the price, sell them tonight!"
Chu Xinghe held the Elder's Order in his hand, and Qin Xiangqian knelt on the ground.
But Qin Xiangqian really couldn't understand Chu Xinghe's request! Clearly, they could earn ten times the profit, so why give up the remaining five times?
"Senior Brother Xinghe has the Elder's Order, I have no choice but to obey, but please, Senior Brother Xinghe, tell me why. If you can't give me a reason, even with the Elder's Order, I will have to go to the Sect to demand an explanation!"
Hey! Is there an unexpected gain?
An explanation? What kind of explanation? Should I tell you I'm planning to make the Sect lose half? Can't I just be straightforward?
Causing such a big loss to the Sect, and you still want to report me... that would be perfect. Once the Sect knows about this, plus my reckless use of the Elder's Order... tsk tsk, losing my status as a personal disciple is a sure thing this time!
Chu Xinghe didn't give Qin Xiangqian any explanation, but with the Elder's Order, Qin Xiangqian had to comply.
When Jia Gui received the news that the Grand Sky Sect wanted to sell the raw stones, he was stunned.
He had already given up hope, but the Grand Sky Sect actually bought it!
Did Qin Xiangqian lose his mind?
But there was no time to think about it, Jia Gui hurriedly prepared a large amount of spirit stones overnight and bought all the raw stones from the Grand Sky Sect.
Although he paid five times the price for these raw stones, once they were processed and sent to the Shi family, it would be a fivefold profit... Is the Grand Sky Sect stupid?
Not only Jia Gui, but Qin Xiangqian also thought Chu Xinghe was a fool, but the Elder's Order forced him to comply. However, Qin Xiangqian had already made it clear that he would return to the Sect with them this time, as this matter was too significant, and he had to report it truthfully to the Sect Master. Such a loss could not be blamed on him, Qin Xiangqian.
Qin Xiangqian was sleepless all night, almost turning his hair white with anger.
Chu Xinghe, on the other hand, had sweet dreams, waking up several times in laughter during the night.
Selling this batch of raw stones was equivalent to directly causing the Grand Sky Sect to lose half a year's worth of spirit stones. I just want to see how I can lose this time!
Today is a good day... pfft pfft pfft... why am I singing this stupid song again, bad luck!
Chu Xinghe got up early, had a delightful breakfast with his junior brothers and sisters, but compared to Chu Xinghe's happiness, the junior brothers and sisters all had confused expressions on their faces.
Apparently, Qin Xiangqian had already told the others about the situation.
Lucky Ma Liang cautiously approached Chu Xinghe: "Senior Brother Xinghe, is Jia Gui your brother-in-law?"
"Get lost..." Chu Xinghe kicked him, what kind of brain is this?
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Am I such a shallow person?
Do I pursue money and beauty? From today on, I want to be a noble person, a great person, a person who has transcended lowly interests, a person who only scams the Sect!
Although Ma Liang didn't understand why Senior Brother Xinghe did this, he could only believe that Senior Brother Xinghe was no ordinary person.
In the following days, Qin Xiangqian didn't come to see Chu Xinghe again. Originally, this batch of raw stones could have made him the top of the four divisions this year, bringing him closer to the legendary position of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce's president.
But with Chu Xinghe's interference, Qin Xiangqian felt his liver ache.
Qin Xiangqian had already thought about how he should report the matter truthfully, the burden was too great for him to bear!
Thinking about Jia Gui happily taking away the raw stones made him even more upset. By now, Jia Gui should have almost delivered them to the Shi family... giving away five times the profit for nothing.
The teleportation array was finally ready, they came as a group of a hundred, but returned as a hundred and one.
Qin Xiangqian, with a few strands of white hair, also returned to the Grand Sky Sect with them.
The familiar dizziness, the familiar nausea, but this time only Qin Xiangqian vomited, although others looked pale, no one else threw up, probably due to their improved cultivation levels.
As the dust settled, everyone appeared on the martial arts training ground of the Grand Sky Palace.
And in the distance, at the gate of the Grand Sky Palace, stood Sect Master Gu Mingchao, with the Great Elder and the head elders of each palace behind him.
"Greetings to the Sect Master and all the elders..." Chu Xinghe led the group in saluting.
"Hahaha... good... good children... we already know about each of your performances outside this time. The Sect is very satisfied with your trip to the spirit cave, but don't let it make you arrogant, after all, you still made some mistakes, big and small. Reflect on yourselves after returning, and never make the same mistakes again!"
The Sect Master said this while glancing at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang was moved to tears, the Sect Master's words meant he knew about some things, but he didn't plan to pursue them further, he finally got through it.
Looking at Senior Brother Xinghe in front, Ma Liang knew that he owed everything to Senior Brother Xinghe!
Then Ma Liang handed over the spiritual liquid from his space ring to the Great Elder to refine the marrow cleansing pill.
And the disciples of each palace left under the guidance of their head elders, each one saluting and thanking Senior Brother Xinghe for his care before leaving.
The elders watching this scene nodded with smiles.
Qin Xiangqian watched from the side, his heart trembling.
He had seen personal disciples of the Grand Sky Sect before, but he had never seen one like Chu Xinghe.
The group came from different palaces, and their respect for Chu Xinghe wasn't just because of his position as the leader, it was genuine and heartfelt.
Looking at the Sect Master and the Great Elder, the way they looked at Chu Xinghe was like looking at their own son.
And the other elders, instead of being displeased with Chu Xinghe's prominence, were all incredibly kind, what on earth is this Chu Xinghe's background?
Even though Ma Liang had introduced so much, Qin Xiangqian still couldn't understand. It's acceptable for someone to have luck and talent, but how can one person be liked by everyone?
Moreover, upon returning today, according to the usual rules, everyone should enter the Grand Sky Palace to meet the Sect Master and the elders, but why did the Sect Master and the elders come out to greet them?
"I remember your name is Qin Xiangqian, right? The branch president of the Western District?" The Great Elder looked at Qin Xiangqian after everyone else had left.
"Disciple Qin Xiangqian, greetings to the Sect Master, greetings to the Great Elder..." Qin Xiangqian hurriedly saluted.
Looking at the Great Elder in front of him, the Great Elder's gaze was icy cold, unlike the loving gaze he had for Chu Xinghe.
But Qin Xiangqian knew that no matter what, he had to report the matter truthfully.
So he gritted his teeth and began, "Reporting to the Great Elder, this matter... is related to Senior Brother Xinghe, Senior Brother Xinghe he..."
Before Qin Xiangqian could finish, Gu Mingchao interrupted, "Whatever you have to say, say it inside the Grand Sky Palace."
Goodness... Qin Xiangqian originally wanted to speak up now that there were many people around, but the Sect Master seemed to realize it wasn't something good? He wanted him to go inside the Grand Sky Palace to cover for Chu Xinghe? Would he silence him?
Even though he was a branch president of the Western District, if he died in the Grand Sky Palace, no one would dare to ask what happened!
With a heart full of fear, Qin Xiangqian followed them into the Grand Sky Palace. It was his first time entering the Grand Sky Palace as an outer disciple, but he had no mood to admire its luxury, instead, he knelt directly in front of the Great Elder and the Sect Master.
"This is how it happened..." Qin Xiangqian initially thought about embellishing the story, but now he dared not, so he recounted everything truthfully.
After Qin Xiangqian finished, the Great Elder looked at Chu Xinghe.
"Is what he said true?" The Great Elder still had a loving expression.
Qin Xiangqian regretted it, because seeing the Great Elder's expression, he knew that if Chu Xinghe just said he didn't know, the Great Elder would unhesitatingly make him the scapegoat!
In the end, he was too naive! Qin Xiangqian knew he was probably doomed today.
But just as Qin Xiangqian was ready to become the scapegoat and face death, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "He's right, it was me!"
"What?"
Qin Xiangqian was dumbfounded!
The Great Elder and the Sect Master also frowned.
Actually, when Qin Xiangqian said those things, their first reaction was disbelief, but Qin Xiangqian had no reason to lie, what benefit would accusing Chu Xinghe bring him?
But deliberately causing the Sect to lose wasn't something Chu Xinghe would do, if anyone would betray the Sect, the Great Elder would suspect everyone in the Spirit Crane Palace, including himself, before suspecting Chu Xinghe.
So this matter was strange!
"Xinghe, tell us, what were you thinking." Gu Mingchao spoke up.
What was I thinking? Chu Xinghe was ready to go all out, what else could he think? He intended to make the Sect lose, but of course, he couldn't say it directly, or he'd be dead.
Just as Chu Xinghe was thinking of how to come up with a reason that wouldn't get him killed, a golden light flew in from afar.
It was a golden spirit bird.
Gu Mingchao reached out into the void, and the spirit bird flew into his hand.
This was the spirit bird responsible for delivering important messages in the Grand Sky Sect.
It only appeared when something major happened.
So Gu Mingchao, putting everything else aside, opened the spirit bird to see what the message was!
And at a glance, Gu Mingchao was stunned, he looked at Chu Xinghe, then at Qin Xiangqian kneeling on the ground, and suddenly he laughed, laughed with great joy!
"Hahaha... good child... Xinghe, you really are a good child!"
The Great Elder was taken aback, took the spirit bird from the Sect Master's hand, glanced at it, and laughed too, "Hahaha... so that's it, Xinghe, this child, almost made us misunderstand him!"
Qin Xiangqian was bewildered by this scene, what... is going on?
Chu Xinghe was also bewildered... although he didn't know what was happening, he had a bad feeling...
