I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 115: The Bai Family Has Come Looking Forward

Of course, Shang Xiong has been established in Yunling City for a long time, and Qingfeng Baoxing has been operating for many years. His wealth is absolutely substantial. It would probably take at least three or four months to completely destroy this branch.

However, in less than a month, its revenue was 40-50% higher than its competitors!

This is truly something to celebrate!

Feng Wuxin's lips curled slightly: "This is just the beginning."

Her goals weren't limited to just this one city, nor was the Sunflame Dynasty her final destination. Her plan was simple: first, use the name of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company to wreak havoc everywhere. Once all the merchant guilds in the area had fallen, she would then consolidate her resources...

It will take a long time to achieve this. The Eastern Frontier is far from small, and there are countless chambers of commerce and trading companies.

But once she has integrated all the resources in this Eastern Frontier, she can legitimately "betray" the Golden Phoenix Treasury!

At that time, there will only be one new Baoxing in the Eastern Frontier, firmly holding onto all the profits!

Anyone who tries to interfere will have to pay the price.

This is also the foundation for Feng Wuxin's return to the Feng family and even his control over the Feng family.

She needs her own power.

Since I've already been exiled here by the Feng family, there's no need to continue giving face to those in the family who don't like me. Going along with them would only be a disservice to myself.

Why should people wrong themselves?

Aunt Yuan didn't know how ambitious Feng Wuxin was, but she was loyal and devoted, so offering advice was the right thing to do. However…

She suddenly thought of something and looked up at Feng Wuxin.

"Miss, should we remove all the 'eyes' in our store?" Aunt Yuan asked.

The "eyes" were actually the spies that Qingfeng Baoxing had planted within their Jinhuang Baoxing.

Of course, these informants only hold very low-level positions and have limited access to information. For example, Golden Phoenix Treasure Company has about a dozen such informants within Green Wind Treasure Company.

It's not that I don't want to get rid of these traitors, it's just that even if I do, new ones will appear.

There will always be people who can't resist temptation and will be bribed.

Since that's the case, there's no need to waste that effort.

Anyway, they knew who these informants were, which prevented these guys from getting any deeper secrets.

"What kind of information have they been gathering inside Baoxing lately?"

Feng Wuxin asked.

"Shang Xiong seems very eager to know if we have obtained the formula for the Golden Spirit Liquid... Moreover, it seems that he has given a strict order that his informants must find out the truth."

Aunt Yuan was actually a little worried because Shang Xiong hadn't made any moves openly or secretly lately, which was a bit unusual.

Shang Xiong is not the kind of person who swallows his pride and suffers in silence.

"Hmph, that old guy is probably thinking of stealing the recipe for the Golden Spirit Elixir."

Feng Wuxin sneered.

She knew that whatever Shang Xiong's plans were, they wouldn't succeed.

The Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop naturally didn't possess the recipe for the Golden Spirit Elixir, nor did they dare to ask for it. Partnering with a powerful figure like Young Master Gu was a sure way to make a fortune for the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop; pushing their luck would only lead to disaster.

Although they could hire their own alchemists and work at full capacity to refine the Golden Spirit Elixir after obtaining the recipe, the recipe is an alchemist's most precious possession and cannot be given away so easily.

Moreover, the two sides are not evenly matched in strength.

Rather than saying that Young Master Gu and they were cooperating, it would be more accurate to say that the strong were giving alms to the weak.

It goes without saying who has the right to make demands.

"Aunt Yuan, give the order to get rid of those traitors. We don't need to play any balancing act with Qingfeng Baoxing anymore. What they want to know, we'll make sure they don't know!"

Feng Wuxin said coldly.

"Yes!" Aunt Yuan accepted the order and withdrew.

……

Two figures flew over Yunling City.

They were all dressed in moon-white robes and looked quite old. Each of them had a token engraved with the character "white" hanging from their waist.

Then, high in the sky, they stopped. One of them took out a pendant, activated it with his Taoist power, and then carefully sensed the ground below.

"Yes, that's right, she stayed here."

He silently put the pendant away and said.

"...Miss has even come all the way to Kuyun Prefecture."

Bai Mo sighed.

"Hmph, that girl, we told her to stay in the clan and continue cultivating, but she refused and ran away here. Once we catch her and take her back, we'll lock her up in the ancestral land and let her calm down for a few years."

The other man stroked his beard and looked coldly at Bai Mo.

"White Gun, watch your words!"

Bai Mo met Bai Chong's glare without fear. The two were evenly matched in terms of aura, but Bai Mo knew that he was no match for Bai Chong in terms of cultivation.

After all, he was only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, while Bai Chong was the chief law enforcement elder of the Bai family, at the third level of the Body Integration stage.

Both of them were sent out to find Bai Feier and bring her back to their clan.

Where did I say something wrong?

Bai Chong had a stiff expression, his hands behind his back, and his tone was cold and hard: "The eldest daughter of the Bai family does not consider the interests of the family at all. The family has worked hard to raise her, not so that she would not give anything back."

"She's constantly clashing with the family elders, showing no respect for them, and always arguing with the clan leader—she's an unfilial daughter! Now she's left the family without permission, showing no regard for the Bai family that raised her!"

Hearing Bai Chong's words, Bai Mo became even angrier, and his beard stood on end.

"If it weren't for that 'good marriage' you were thinking of, would things have come to this?!"

Bai Mo's status in the family is not high. Although he is an elder, his cultivation level is considered to be below average among elders. However, he has always stood on Bai Feier's side without any scruples.

In his view, when Bai Feier was poisoned by the Gu and lost all her cultivation, some of the Bai family's actions truly chilled the young lady's heart.

Even a patriarch's daughter who has no value should be gotten rid of as soon as possible.

But once it becomes valuable again, it's impossible to expect Bai Feier to continue to be as uncomplaining as before.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone the proud and arrogant Bai family prodigy who has been proud since childhood.

The moves these people made were absolutely disastrous. "Perhaps the clan lacked foresight at the time, but regardless, it is an undeniable fact that she disrespected her elders and left home without permission."

Bai Chong had no intention of continuing the argument with Bai Mo, because the two of them had argued more than once along the way, and neither of them could convince the other. Moreover, they were under orders, so naturally, completing the mission was their priority.

"Let's go down and take a look. Her presence is still quite strong in the south of the city. It seems she's been staying there for many days."

The white gun flew downwards.

Bai Mo sighed and had no choice but to follow.
