Chapter 1834

The next day, early morning.

Hua Youmeng came to the door as promised, holding a tray in her hand. On the tray were several strings of spirit fruits.

Those spirit fruits were obviously not ordinary things at a glance. They exuded a strong spiritual energy and a refreshing fragrance. Apparently, they were also treasures with great benefits for warriors to take.

She stood outside the door. Just as she was hesitating about what to say, the door opened on its own. Yang Kai was sitting cross-legged opposite, smiling slightly at her.

“This concubine has met the lord.” Hua Youmeng immediately put on a solemn expression and curtsied gracefully.

“President Hua is too polite, please come in.” Yang Kai gestured with his hand.

“Sorry for the disturbance.” Hua Youmeng said as she stepped in, put down the things in her hand, and said, “The place is simple. This concubine has prepared some things to fill the lord’s stomach. I hope the lord will not mind.”

“Blood Jade Exquisite Fruits？” Yang Kai took a look at the bunch of fruits like purple crystal grapes on the plate, a little surprised, and nodded, “President Hua has bothered.”

“As long as the lord likes it.” Hua Youmeng accompanied carefully, standing aside, looking a little cautious and uneasy.

After all, until now, she still doesn’t understand what kind of background and identity the other party has, and why even a big shot like Lu Tianfeng is so afraid of him. What happened yesterday, in any other chamber of commerce, would probably be a disaster of exterminating the family. But here, not only the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce is safe and sound, but also gets a large amount of compensation, and even Lu Tianfeng personally apologized.

This is not something that ordinary power can do. The background of this young man is probably unimaginable. How dare Hua Youmeng not be careful？

What makes Hua Youmeng most troubled is that she doesn’t even know the name of the other party.

“President Hua, sit down. There is no need to be so polite.” Yang Kai smiled and looked at her.

“In the presence of an adult, this concubine dare not be presumptuous.” Hua Youmeng pursed her red lips and nervously squeezed out a smile, insisting on standing still.

Yang Kai rubbed his forehead, thought for a while, and said solemnly： “President Hua, are you blaming this junior？”

Hua Youmeng’s pretty face changed, and she quickly waved her hand and said： “Why would the adult say such a thing? If it weren’t for the adult’s efforts to turn the tide yesterday, my Five Elements Chamber of Commerce might have been wiped out, and all the brothers and sisters would not have escaped death. This concubine is grateful to the adult for his life-saving grace and dare not blame him.”

“Hehe. I hid my strength and identity, ran here for no reason, and also caused such a disaster for you. Doesn’t President Hua have any complaints at all？”

Hua Youmeng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. It seemed that Yang Kai had hit the mark on her mind, and she was somewhat at a loss for words.

“Not only President Hua, but even those friends probably have quite a few opinions on this junior. It’s just that they don’t dare to show them.” Yang Kai hehe smiled.

Hua Youmeng forced a smile and said： “The adult is discerning. There is an old saying that when the immortals fight, the mortals suffer. This concubine and the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce are just a tiny force under this heaven. Any wave is enough to make us shattered to pieces and never recover.”

As she spoke, it seemed that she had also mustered up a bit of courage and said clearly, “Regarding what happened yesterday. We are indeed grateful to you, but we dare not experience such a thing again. And my vision is limited. I really can’t think of any place in our Five Directions Chamber of Commerce that can attract you to stay here. With your identity and strength, you can probably go anywhere in Purple Star City, right？”

“That’s true.” Yang Kai nodded. “But if I had left yesterday, you would surely have suffered misfortune. So I chose to stay. President Hua helped me at the city gate entrance. Naturally, I couldn’t just stand by and leave.”

Hua Youmeng was stunned and nodded slightly.

Yang Kai laughed and said, “Let’s get to know each other again. I’m Yang Kai. Hiding my strength was just a convenient thing to do because I can’t shout everywhere that I’m a Void King Realm cultivator, right？ That would be too ostentatious and arrogant. As for my identity… I can’t say much. Please understand, President Hua.”

Hua Youmeng said, “You must have some unavoidable difficulties.”

“Sort of. But you don’t have to care too much. My identity yesterday could be true or false. You’d better just treat me as an ordinary Void King Realm cultivator…”

Hua Youmeng frowned, a bit bewildered. But seeing Yang Kai’s sincere expression, she didn’t think too much. After all, with the other party’s strength, there was really no need to deceive her about anything. She said seriously, “I was wrong to misunderstand you. Please don’t mind.”

“Don’t call me ‘adult’ all the time. I’m not used to it. I just want President Hua to know that I have no other intentions in coming here. It’s just a coincidence, and I have no plans for your Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. “Yang Kai looked at Hua Youmeng sincerely.

“I believe you.” Seeing him so sincere, Hua Youmeng naturally had no reason not to believe. She hesitated and said, “But if I don’t call you ‘adult’, what should I call you…senior？”

Yang Kai coughed lightly： “Just call me by my name.”

“I don’t dare！” Hua Youmeng quickly waved her hand.

“Forget it, “whatever.” Yang Kai doesn’t want to be entangled on this issue any more. He reached out and pushed the fruit plate back, saying “This Green Blood Exquisite Fruit is of no use to me anymore. It’s just refreshing. However, if President Hua takes it, it can purify your Saint Yuan. You can take it back.”

Hua Youmeng’s face lit up with joy. She looked at Yang Kai gratefully and said, “Thank you, adult.”

This plate of spiritual fruits was also acquired by her at a high price.It was extremely rare If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s identity and strength, Hua Youmeng wouldn’t have done this. On weekdays, she was always a thrifty president and wouldn’t be so wasteful.

“Hmm, someone is looking for you outside.” Yang Kai’s expression moved. He looked outside.

Hua Youmeng turned around and looked. She found that there was no one outside the door. Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly saw a figure walking over in a hurry. It was Gao Hong.

A look of pleasant surprise was still on Gao Hong’s face, as if something good had happened.

“Your Excellency, please wait for a moment. This concubine will go and come back soon.” Hua Youmeng said and quickly retreated.

When she went outside and met up with Gao Hong, the two women whispered something. After a while, Hua Youmeng’s expression changed in surprise and she asked urgently, “Really？”

Gao Hong nodded seriously and Hua Youmeng said in surprise, “Come with me and take a look outside.”

After saying that, she hurriedly walked outside.

A moment later, in the Five Directions Firm’s store, Hua Youmeng appeared neatly dressed. At this moment, Xia Jingwu, Haitang, Yao Qing and others in the store were all waiting quietly. Besides them, there was also a group of warriors wearing armor. Under the leadership of a white-faced big man, they were standing in the store, waiting solemnly.

Just by looking at their attire, one could tell that they were the guards of Purple Star City and were of the same kind as Bai Zhengchu and Lu Tianfeng yesterday.

When he saw Hua Youmeng, the leading white-faced big man quickly cupped his fists and said respectfully, “I presume this is the famous President Hua of the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce？”

Hua Youmeng was shocked and quickly returned the courtesy, saying, “I don’t dare. This concubine is Hua Youmeng. Nice to meet this adult.”

“President Hua is too polite.” The white-faced big man had a friendly look. “Let me introduce myself. I am Qu Zheng, the deputy commander of Purple Star City！”

“I’ve long heard of Commander Qu’s great reputation. But I don’t know what brings Commander Qu to our chamber of commerce today？” Although she had already received some news from Gao Hong just now, she wasn’t sure, so Hua Youmeng still asked.

“I’m here on the orders of Lord Lu to hand these things over to President Hua.” As he spoke, he took out a jade box from the spatial ring and respectfully handed it over.

Hua Youmeng’s expression was solemn as she reached out to take the jade box.

Opening the jade box and taking a look, there were actually many pieces of animal skin paper neatly placed inside. Pulling out one piece, Hua Youmeng couldn’t help but exclaim, “Title deeds！”

“What？” Xia Jingwu and the others also trembled in their bodies, and even Gao Hong opened his mouth wide.

Although this Qu Zheng said that he had good news for the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce when he came just now, he didn’t specify what it was. Only after seeing the title deeds at this moment did everyone finally understand.

“So many title deeds？” Hua Youmeng was completely stunned. She took out those title deeds one by one. There were actually more than thirty pieces. Each one represented the ownership of a shop.

“Hehe, President Hua is laughing at me. These title deeds include all the shops on this Tenglong Avenue where the Five “Directions Chamber of Commerce is located,” Qu Zheng explained with a smile. “Lord Lu said that although the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce is small, it has always operated with integrity and has made great contributions to the development of Purple Star City. It is a model for thousands of merchants. These title deeds are specially given as a commendation. I hope that all merchants will take your chamber of commerce as an example and imitate it more.”

“This…” Hua Youmeng’s delicate body trembled slightly. She couldn’t believe this was true. She felt that each of the land deeds in her hand was so heavy that it almost crushed her whole person.

“President Hua, please don’t decline.” Qu Zheng reached out and interrupted her words, solemnly saying, “Qu is also here on orders. If President Hua declines, I’m afraid I won’t be able to report back when I go back this time and will be thrown into the cold prison to be punished. I’ve long heard that President Hua is kind-hearted, warm-hearted, and most helpful. Please don’t make it difficult for Qu.”

Hua Youmeng looked at Qu Zheng, with a dumbfounded expression.

Qu Zheng immediately took the opportunity and said with a smile, “In that case, it means President Hua has accepted, and I can go back and report with peace of mind.”

“What should I do?” Even though Hua Youmeng was usually decisive and wise at this moment, she was also in a muddle-headed state and didn’t know how to deal with the scene in front of her. After being stunned for a while, she said, “Uncle Xia, quickly prepare some light gifts. These adults have worked hard.”

She also knew that since the other party had said so much, these land deeds could no longer be returned.

Uncle Xia responded and quickly started preparing.

Qu Zheng was shocked and said in horror, “President Hua, please don’t do this. We are just doing our duty. How dare we accept benefits? If President Hua says so, it will kill us.”

The other guards also had pale faces, as if the small gifts prepared by Xia Jingwu were like a flood of fierce beasts that they couldn’t avoid.

Qu Zheng stood nervously in place, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead vigorously and looking towards the back courtyard of the chamber of commerce from time to time.

After a long while, he finally heard a voice in his ears： “Alright, go back and tell Lu Tianfeng that he has handled this matter very well and I am very satisfied.”

Qu Zheng was then relieved as if he had received a pardon. He cupped his fists towards that direction and bowed, saying： “Thank you, sir！”

As he spoke, his body quickly backed out and said to Hua Youmeng： “I’m leaving now. President Hua, please stay here, stay here！”

As soon as the words fell, the person had already run away in a flash, and only his back could be seen in the distance.
