Uncle! Just Call Me Little Xing!

When asked who Zhao Taixing was, Liu Bo admitted he had no idea...

All I know is that the leader of the Thousand Crane Sect Meng Zhen.

Liu Bo didn't intend to respond to his second uncle and Liu Cheng's behavior. In the past, Liu Bo might have been angry and wanted to retaliate in various ways, to show his second uncle, "Do you know what kind of person Liu Bo is?"

But people change in different environments...

Liu Bo is no longer the naive boy he once was, and the people and things Liu Bo encounters now are beyond what his second uncle and Liu Cheng could ever imagine.

So, in Liu Bo's eyes, their boasting was something to laugh off.

There's absolutely no need to take it seriously.

After all, when you're chatting, you always have to talk about things that people want to hear, right?

They're all relatives; sometimes people like to put on an act, so let them try...

Just as Liu Bo was saying, "Second Uncle, you're right. Elder Zhao Taixing is incredibly powerful, and Brother Liu Cheng's Future is sure to be bright," a voice came from outside the door.

"Zhao Taixing of the Thousand Crane Sect has come to pay respects to Liu Bo of the Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

As the voice rang out, an elderly man dressed in a purple robe with crane patterns led a group of people into the Liu Lineage's residence.

"Brother Liu, I've missed you so much since we last parted! Why didn't you tell me you were back in Star City right away...?"

"Quickly, quickly, bring up all the little gifts I prepared for Brother Liu. Brother Liu, these are all just a small token of my appreciation, you absolutely cannot refuse them. If you don't accept them, you're disrespecting me, Zhao Taixing!"

Good heavens, Liu Bo was completely dumbfounded as he stared at the old man who called him "brother"!

At this moment, Liu Bo recognized the old man, but to be honest, he only vaguely remembered him.

It should be noted that although Liu Bo is currently an outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Liu Bo is essentially in charge of all external procurement work for the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Unfortunately, this was originally Feng Fei's responsibility, but because he had to take care of Feng Yuqing, Feng Fei naturally had to expend some energy on it, and procurement is inherently a very complicated task.

Therefore, Feng Fei immediately assigned this task to Ma Liang for arrangement.

Feng Fei said to Junior Brother Ma Liang, "Take a look and see who's suitable, and let them take charge of this task."

In other sects, procurement work would be a fiercely competitive affair, because everyone knows that procurement... well, who would believe there's no kickback involved!

Especially for a super behemoth like the Vast Heaven Holy Land, any purchase, even the slightest bit of profit leaked out, would be a fortune that many people wouldn't dare to dream of in several lifetimes.

The problem is, no matter how lucrative the procurement of this stuff is, nobody in the Vast Heaven Holy Land wants to touch it!

What kind of benefits do the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land receive?

Do we need this kind of profit?

Disciples from other factions are trying to improve themselves by taking advantage of resources they don't receive enough from.

In our Vast Heaven Holy Land, the place we fear most is the Civil Engineering Department. You ask the Earth and Civil Engineering Department for a spirit stone.

The Civil Engineering Department said... What? You want a whole store of spirit stones?

You should ask the Civil Engineering Department for a magical artifact!

The Civil Engineering Department said... What? You want a magical treasure?

No one can take away the amount you prepared when you go to the Civil Engineering Department, because no matter how much you ask for, the Civil Engineering Department will always double, double, and double it again.

If you don't take away the resources that are doubled, doubled, and doubled again, you'll never get out of the Civil Engineering Department!

Look at the murderous look in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable of the Civil Engineering Department. Tell me, are you going to take it or not?

You dare refuse the resources offered by the Civil Engineering Department? Be careful, you might get ambushed by the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable!

So in this situation, who cares about the profits from purchasing goods or services?

Moreover, if you ask any purchasing party who they prefer to cooperate with, it will definitely be Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Do you think it's easy for buyers?

Negotiating cooperation with other forces involves all sorts of twists and turns... all sorts of promises of benefits... all sorts of coded language...

Even so, you'll have to beg them to pay the final payment, and they'll still drag it out for years.

But if you dare to mention the word "kickback" when negotiating cooperation with Vast Heaven Holy Land, the disciples of the Civil Engineering Department will immediately jump out and tell you to get out of Vast Heaven Holy Land!

What the hell is this about kickbacks? You want to give resources to our Vast Heaven Holy Land? What's your background? Get the hell out of here!

Moreover, once the transaction with Vast Heaven Holy Land is completed, you will receive payment from the Civil Engineering Department immediately!

What the hell? They want us, Vast Heaven Holy Land, to delay payment? No way!

Therefore, under these circumstances, the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land were unwilling to handle procurement...

Buyers dream of cooperating with Vast Heaven Holy Land.

In the end, Ma Liang dumped this dirty work on Liu Bo.

Although Liu Bo was reluctant to accept the task, Liu Bo had no choice but to take it on since it was arranged by his Senior Brother Ma Liang.

Therefore, Liu Bo is currently in charge of all external procurement and approval work for the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Within the Vast Heaven Holy Land, this is a job that even a dog wouldn't give a second glance. But do you know what Liu Bo's job means outside of it?

Liu Bo can bestow upon you immense wealth with just a few words!

Liu Bo did have a vague recollection of Zhao Taixing before him.

"You... you're that Old Zhao from last month?" Liu Bo racked his brains before finally remembering. He vaguely recalled seeing Zhao Taixing last month, and what he had purchased from them... he couldn't quite recall...

"Right, right... Brother Liu, you must have a bad memory. I'm just Old Zhao... whatever, Zhao Taixing, just remember I'm Old Zhao, that's all that matters! Just call me Old Zhao, it sounds more friendly! Last month, I really wanted to thank you, Brother Liu. If it weren't for you, I would have been in real trouble last month..."

Zhao Taixing into a barrage of compliments and started filming!

Liu Bo was already numb to this kind of flattery, so he just smiled in response.

But Liu Bo can smile... Right now, there aren't many people in the entire Liu Lineage who can smile.

One second ago, Liu Yuanheng and his son were practically praising Zhao Taixing to the skies, but now, Zhao Taixing just appears here, calling Liu Bo" Brother Liu"...

He even suggested that people just call him Old Zhao if they disagreed...

This scene completely stunned Liu Yuanheng and Liu Cheng!

"Brother Liu, this must be your uncle, right? Zhao Taixing greets your uncle. Come, come, uncle, these are some tonics that Taixing has prepared for you. Please accept them..." Zhao Taixing said, and then proceeded to hand out all sorts of gifts!

Liu Yuanhong was completely dumbfounded... How old are you to call me uncle?

What the heck? You're asking why Zhao Taixing so humble? Because he's an elder in the Thousand Crane Sect responsible for procurement!

Every faction has requirements for its annual procurement. In the past Zhao Taixing had to beg and plead to sell all of the Thousand Crane Sect's goods and meet the mission targets.

However, now that they are cooperating with Vast Heaven Holy Land helped Zhao Taixing complete all of next year's tasks ahead of schedule last month.

Zhao Taixing is indeed an elder, but do you think that all elders are like the elders of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, only responsible for instructing disciples and that's it?

That's because the Vast Heaven Holy Land has become incredibly wealthy!

The elders from other factions have various annual targets; those skilled in teaching disciples must help them improve a certain number of disciples, while those skilled in treasure hunting must acquire a certain amount of spiritual resources from the ruins...

Those skilled in external relations must complete a certain number of transactions!

Although the elders usually delegate these tasks to their disciples, are you crazy to expect your disciples to handle something as colossal as the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as Zhao Taixing latches onto Liu Bo, his status within the entire Thousand Crane Sect will rise significantly.

Because of his business dealings with the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Zhao Taixing is able to bring countless resources and benefits to the Thousand Crane Sect every year!

If he could establish a long-term partnership with the Vast Heaven Holy Land and continuously secure various resources for the Thousand Crane Sect, Zhao Taixing felt that becoming the Grand Elder of the Thousand Crane Sect in the Future was not impossible!

Whether you can get this far depends on Liu Bo. If Liu Bo makes even the slightest mistake, you're finished!

At this moment, Zhao Taixing kept calling Liu Yuanhong" uncle," which completely dumbfounded him...

At that moment, he seemed to realize that he had somewhat underestimated his own Dapang!

Although I had already placed a very high value on Dapang, it now seems that Dapang's position is far, far higher than I imagined.

"No, no, no, Elder Zhao, you are an elder of the Thousand Crane Sect, this is not appropriate, not appropriate..." Although Liu Yuanhong's face was beaming with joy, he still tried his best to refuse on the surface.

"Uncle... are you looking down on Taixing? This is Taixing's filial piety! Taixing and Brother Liu Bo hit it off immediately. You are Brother Liu Bo's biological father, and naturally also Taixing's elder... so you absolutely cannot refuse!"

"No... Elder Zhao..."

"Uncle! Just call me Little Xing..."

"Xiao... Little Xing... Look, this isn't appropriate. My second brother's son, Liu Cheng, has just become your disciple, and you're calling me 'Uncle'? Isn't this messing up the seniority?"

"Don't be confused, Uncle. Let's each talk our own thing. Liu Cheng is here too. I heard from my disciple that Liu Cheng is your relative, Brother Liu. Don't worry, Brother Liu, I specifically took Liu Cheng under my wing, and I will personally teach him well. I will definitely not let you down!"

To say that Zhao Taixing was not only flexible and adaptable, but also an extremely shrewd and experienced man, do you think he took Liu Cheng in because Liu Cheng was talented?

Are you kidding me? Even someone with talent like Ma Liang could only start as a basic disciple, so Zheng Yu also had to start as a basic disciple.

Zhao Taixing mad? He accepted a disciple as his personal disciple right after the disciple passed the assessment?

Liu Cheng was able to become Zhao Taixing's personal disciple not because of his exceptional talent, but because he was a relative of Liu Bo!

Zhao Taixing wanted to use this relationship to completely latch onto Liu Bo's coattails!

Zhao Taixing said, "No way! Surely no one really believes Liu Bo is just an outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?"

First of all, aren't all those outer disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land peerless geniuses? Which one of them won't surpass me, Zhao Taixing, in the Future?

You should never mistake the outer sect of Vast Heaven Holy Land for the real outer sect.

Liu Bo was not only Chu Xinghe's most trusted confidant, but also Ma Liang's second most trusted confidant!

Liu Bo is nominally an outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but in reality, he manages the entire outer sect, as well as the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land's procurement work!

Someone like Zhao Taixing would normally have to wait three days to see Liu Bo in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and Liu Bo would only give him a maximum of five minutes to talk.

Therefore, Zhao Taixing very clear that if he could rely on Liu Cheng's connections and get on Liu Bo's good side, then the position of Grand Elder of the Thousand Crane Sect would definitely be his in the Future!

After all, it's about making money... it's not shameful at all!

While Zhao Taixing's side wasn't shabby, Liu Yuanheng and his son were now only regretting that there wasn't a larger crack in the floor in their Liu Lineage family mansion!

There's not even a crack in the ground we could crawl into; this Liu Lineage is so outdated!
