Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 132 Mommy, You Smell So Good

The flying boat pushed through the light clouds and slowly rose into the air.

Looking through the porthole at the earth below his feet getting farther and farther away, Chunxue saw Linjian staring blankly in the direction of the Zhengyang Sect's mountain gate.

Curious, he came over and asked, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with that junior sister? You taught such a simple technique to someone else, even though I spent 990,000 spirit stones to buy it..."

"So what?" Lin Jian came back to his senses and glanced at her proudly. "I bought it, so it's mine. I can give it to whoever I want."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Haruyuki crossed his arms, thinking for him, "But what if everyone else learns this and becomes better than you?"

"That's great! I wish I were the weakest person in the world right now." Lin Jian clapped his hands and said, "You know that feeling when you open the score board before a team fight and I'm the only one with a positive record?"

The sky is falling!
Do I look like the kind of person who could turn the tide?

No! When faced with difficulties, I should sleep soundly.

"Do you know what my initial thoughts were when I embarked on the path of cultivation?"

"It's about hiding in a corner where no one knows and growing up in a shabby way, or picking up discarded trash and slowly achieving immortality."

"I heard that the top of Cangwu Peak is covered with thousands of feet of black ice, and there are thousand-year-old sword marks left behind by the sword immortals fighting a thousand years ago."

"I heard that the Eye of Rahu connects heaven and earth, and the hurricane that runs through it blows the dust and smoke of the lower nine realms into the heart of the upper nine realms."

"I want to see the East Sea Ruins, the end of all things. I want to climb the floating ancient city left by the ancient immortals."

"I want to enjoy all the delicious food, drinks, and fun things in the world, and when I encounter injustice, I also have the ability and courage to draw the sword against the evildoer."

"I want to live until the day I no longer want to live anymore, and then I'll start working hard to create more interesting heritage caves for future generations."

"And then go see what the world after death is like."

"I have a plan to escape from prison and play a joke on death."

"But before all this started, no one told me that the world was doomed..."

"I was actually thinking just now... even if I find out the truth, what will happen? Can I eradicate the Demon Worship Sect completely? Or can I make all the disciples of the four sects listen to me and reform themselves?"

"When faced with such a major event, the sect is always more thoughtful than I thought. If they sent someone, then what would they need me for? If they didn't send anyone, then what's the point of me going?"

"Why don't we go to the dock and get some French fries..."

Haruyuki remained silent, just staring at Lin Jian's profile quietly.

Lin Jian felt uneasy after watching this, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

Haruyuki narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So you also get discouraged sometimes..."

Lin Jian rolled his eyes helplessly, "Who hasn't had a time when they were young?"

"Hmm~" Haruyuki giggled and suddenly opened his arms, "Come here, give me a hug."

Touching the soft black hair of the head in his arms, Haruyuki stared blankly ahead.

When others are frustrated, you can listen, bear it, and comfort them.

But what if you feel disappointed and gloomy about everything?

Yes, and some.

There was a young shadow that tore through the thick darkness, bringing a little light into her world...

"Mom, you smell so good..."

Lin Jian in his arms suddenly looked up.

Li Qingyu stepped into the cabin and suddenly covered his eyes, then looked at the two people snuggling together in the cabin with a gossipy look through the gaps between his grown fingers.

"Eh, eh, eh? My eyes are going blind!"

Lin Jian calmly straightened up, straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Can you see even if you're blind?"

Li Qingyu curled his lips, closed the cabin door, walked in, sat down at the low table and sighed, "I don't know what the situation is like in the Chamber of Commerce since I've been away for so many days."

"Can you tell me about your Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Jian asked calmly, his enthusiasm returning. Up until now, all he knew was that his senior sister's Chamber of Commerce had been having trouble lately, and that a batch of crucial medicinal pills had gone missing, putting them in trouble.

According to Senior Sister Li Qingyu's previous thoughts, she thought that it was Ping Si Nan who stole it...but at that time she didn't know Ping Si Nan's identity and only knew his skills.

But after actually catching the real culprit, I felt that it was probably not the case.

Who did it is debatable.

The reason why Lin Jian was willing to intervene was not only to use his identity as an alchemist to help his senior sister save money and get out of trouble, but also because he wanted to know whether this matter was related to the Demon Worship Sect.

According to the elders of Xuanfeng Sect, almost all small sects or independent cultivator forces have suffered bullying from the disciples of the four major sects to a greater or lesser extent.

Lin Jian has to remain skeptical about the authenticity of this statement.

Are the ones bullying these people really the four major sects themselves, or is someone using their names to bully them?

If it is really the four major sects themselves, then getting actual evidence will make the four major sects really pay attention to this matter, and they will have a legitimate reason to clean it up.

If someone is pretending...

What is the purpose of the pretender?

Considering the group of elders from Xuanfeng Sect who were instigated to rebel by the Demon Worship Sect, the answer is almost self-evident.

Of course, there is one last possibility - the Chamber of Commerce also has its own enemies, and there may be conflicts between independent cultivators.

Since they are all monks working hard outside, it is reasonable that the friction between them continues to escalate and expand.

But no matter what the truth is, Lin Jian wants to take this opportunity to find out.

To confirm the guess in my heart.

Li Qingyu tells the story...

The Chamber of Commerce is called Tongda Chamber of Commerce. It mainly deals in the wholesale and sale of basic elixirs of grades one to three, including elixir materials. It also has its own flying boat transport team, operating a long-distance passenger and freight route of 3,000 miles, and sometimes also accepts material transportation business from some sects.

At the same time, a pawn business was opened in the core market where the Chamber of Commerce was located, accepting some not-so-high-end mortgage items.

This kind of chamber of commerce is not uncommon. Their business directions are changing, and the people they come into contact with are from all over the world.

But according to Li Qingyu's recollection, the sect has been doing business till today, and occasional disputes with customers are inevitable, but it seems that there has never been a particularly serious falling out.

But here's the weird part -

Although they hadn't offended any big shots, the sect's recent business deals had all inexplicably failed.

The Chamber of Commerce here spent a lot of money to buy the goods, but the buyer just doesn't want them and would rather pay the deposit to settle the matter.

Under normal circumstances, the Chamber of Commerce might not think it was a big deal. After all, the goods were still in their hands, and they had earned an extra deposit. At worst, they could just sell them slowly later.

This is where the problem lies...the items required for these orders are all very unpopular. Without orders from big customers, it would be difficult to sell them out in a short time even if they were broken down into small pieces.

With several orders placed one after another, all the money was tied up in the goods.

The loss of the batch of pills guarded by Li Qingyu and other guards was probably the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Unable to ship goods, the Chamber of Commerce’s last batch of circulating funds was gone, and the entire Chamber of Commerce was facing the embarrassing situation of being shut down.

Now the only way to turn this deadlock around is to replenish the pills as quickly as possible, ship the goods and collect the payment.

Of course, whether the Chamber of Commerce survives or not has little to do with Lin Jian.

He understood the situation and just wanted to know which possibility the Chamber of Commerce was more likely to face.

Li Qingyu also knew what he was planning. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jian expectantly, "How is it? Any ideas?"

The Chamber of Commerce was actually very nice to her, and if possible, she also wanted to find out who was behind this.

Lin Jian thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up and said, "Senior Sister, do you believe me?"
