Chapter 216: Pressure from the Three Major Families of the Chamber of Commerce

At that time, Xing Yue's strength was at the Earth level, and Jiang Xuan was not a warrior on the surface. Xing Yue could not have imagined that Jiang Xuan, who was just an ordinary person, would ride his horse to hurt him.

But now, all that was in the past. Xing Yue had already taken two Heaven Grade Pills. After failing to advance with the first one, he finally advanced successfully after taking the second one.

Jiang Xuan also won the first place in the Heavenly Stage Group of the Five States Martial Arts Competition and successfully became a personal guard of the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion.

In today's Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce, the balance of power has quietly changed, and the comparison of power in the tray has also undergone some subtle adjustments.

In terms of the strength and future development of Yingzhou's young people, the Xing family already has some disadvantages.

However, at this time, the Xu family and the Jiang family had no idea that Jiang Xuan was a hidden top warrior, so their judgment of the strength of the three chambers of commerce had lost accuracy.

On paper, the Xu family is the strongest. On the one hand, in terms of the Chamber of Commerce's industries, the Xu family head is not only the president of the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce, but also controls the largest industry of the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

On the other hand, Xu Yingyang, the eldest son of the Xu family, is also the only one among the three heirs of the Chamber of Commerce to enter the Yingzhou Martial Arts School, and he is also the core disciple of the Yingzhou Martial Arts School.

Jiang Xuan could also confirm this. Not only was it confirmed at the Five States Martial Arts Show, but the Yingzhou Martial Arts School actually sent Xu Yingyang to recruit him, which also indirectly demonstrated Xu Yingyang's status as a core disciple in the Yingzhou Martial Arts School.

The Xing family was officially the second largest family in the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce. While the Xing family's holdings didn't outnumber the Jiang family's, their taverns and other businesses were more profitable than the Jiang family's.

On the other hand, Xing Yue is now the absolute core disciple of Xiuxin Martial Arts School, the largest non-official martial arts school in Yingzhou. Xing Yue has now been promoted to the Heavenly Rank, and when the Yingzhou Martial Arts School selection comes, Xing Yue will be able to smoothly enter the Yingzhou Martial Arts School.

Many people don't realize that Xing Yue is younger than Jiang Xuan. If he recently entered the Yingzhou Martial Arts School, he would be much younger than Xu Yingyang, the eldest son of the Xu family, was when he entered the Yingzhou Martial Arts School.

This means that Xing Yue's potential is much greater than that of the eldest young master of the Xu family.

According to Xing Yue's training speed, as long as he practices well, it won't be long before he successfully becomes the second core disciple of Yingzhou Martial Arts School among the three major families of the Chamber of Commerce, and receives the same training resources as the eldest young master of the Xu family.

It would have been fine if Xing Yue had only entered Yingzhou Martial Arts School and had not yet become a core disciple of the school. However, if he successfully became a core disciple of the school, while receiving the same training resources as Xu Yingyang, he would inevitably compete with Xu Yingyang for resources.

Even in government-owned martial arts schools, training resources are limited and disciples cannot be allowed to squander them, not even for core disciples.

The Jiang family's current strength seems to be the weakest of the three families in the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce. In the eyes of many Yingzhou people, the Jiang family's strength is no longer considered one of the three major families in the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In the eyes of some of them, the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce is no longer composed of three major families, but only two major families, the Xu family and the Xing family.

Although the Jiang family still controls Yingzhou's industries such as pawnshops and trading houses, looking at the five states, its industries are not large in scale and lack profitability.

In time, if Xu Yingyang of the Xu family and Xing Yue of the Xing family successfully become peak warriors, they will have a certain deterrent effect in Yingzhou. Similarly, if Xu Yingyang of the Xu family and Xing Yue of the Xing family both successfully become peak warriors, then the Xu and Xing families may also begin to compete openly or covertly.

Now it seems that the Xu family has a slight advantage in this competition, while the Xing family seems to be catching up in this competition.

The Xu family had always been very stable. However, in recent years, Xing Yue's rapid rise in strength had also brought some pressure to the Xu family.

The head of the Xu family has always believed that as long as Xu Yingyang firmly holds the status of a core disciple in Yingzhou Martial Arts School, he will have two benefits, or two opportunities.

First, if Xing Yue entered Yingzhou Martial Arts School, Xu Yingyang could use his identity as a core disciple of Yingzhou Martial Arts School to make a detailed observation of Xing Yue's development. At certain times, he could also use his identity as a core disciple of Yingzhou Martial Arts School to suppress Xing Yue's development.

Second, if Xing Yue successfully joins the ranks of the core disciples of Yingzhou Martial Arts School, then Xu Yingyang can also use his experience as a core disciple to pose some threat to Xing Yue.

In fact, ever since Xing Yue blocked Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xian's way in Yingzhou City and asked them for the second-grade inner elixir so that they could refine a heaven-grade elixir, the status of the three major families of the Chamber of Commerce in the entire Yingzhou City, and even the entire Yingzhou, has begun to change slightly.

In the past, Xing Rufeng was unwilling to give up any industry in the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce, in the competition within the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and especially in the competition with the Jiang family, which was closer in strength.

However, after Xing Yue stopped him and asked for the second-level inner elixir, Xing Rufeng's thinking changed.

In fact, even when Xing Rufeng and Xing Yue, father and son, went to the Jiang Mansion and found Jiang Yuan and Jiang Xuan, father and son, Xing Rufeng's request was to ask Jiang Yuan and the Jiang family to give up the fight for the herbal medicine shop left by the Cheng family.

However, with Xing Yue's persuasion and Xing Rufeng's judgment on the future situation of Yingzhou, he also realized that if the Xing family wanted to maintain its second position, it must think about striving for the first place.

In the past, Xing Rufeng’s idea has always been to maintain the second position of Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

However, after thinking about it and being persuaded by Xing Yue, he found that the Xu family might not be satisfied with being just one of the three major families of Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

What the Xu family may want to do is to completely control the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, the Xu family's goal is no longer to maintain the top position in the Chamber of Commerce, but to take the opportunity to defeat the Xing family and the Jiang family one by one while the Xing family competes with the Jiang family, so as to completely reintegrate the industries of the Xing family and the Jiang family and completely merge them into the Xu family.

Of course, looking at the entire Yuan country, although Yingzhou is not a very large state, it also has its own particularity.

First, the city lord of Yingzhou, Lord Li, is different from most city lords in that he adopts a more relaxed management style.

The second reason was the existence of the Prince's Palace in Yingzhou. Prince Rong held a high position of power, and although the Prince of the Palace gave people a very gentle impression, he was by no means an ordinary person.
