Ma Liang Is Finally Going to Do Something Useful!

The matter of the Crystal of Xinghe has finally calmed down, but Chu Xinghe's mood is anything but calm.

The reason why Chu Xinghe priced the Crystal of Xinghe so low at the time was not only to reduce the sect's profits, but also because Chu Xinghe came from Kaoshan Village.

Kaoshan Village was also a poor place. When Chu Xinghe was a child, he witnessed countless human tragedies. If he had had the Crystal of Xinghe at that time, perhaps these tragedies could have been avoided.

Therefore, when it came to setting the price, Chu Xinghe did not hesitate to choose the lowest price.

The sect can suffer losses and earn less money, but it can also use the Crystal of Xinghe to help more people, achieving two goals at once.

However, even at the lowest customized price, due to its unique production characteristics, no one can stop the Northern Branch from making this move with Crystal of Xinghe.

Listen to what the Grand Elder said to Sima Bian.

"Sima Bian... Keep up the good work. I have high hopes that you will become the vice president of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce this year."

Is this even a question of whether you're optimistic or pessimistic?

Grand Elder, you're practically ready to announce that Sima Bian is the next vice president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

Sima Bian was so excited that he immediately knelt down before the Grand Elder to express his gratitude for the Grand Elder's guidance and to Senior Brother Xinghe for his kindness to the Northern Branch!

Sima Bian emphasized the word "deeply loved"!

The sound was so heavy that Chu Xinghe almost couldn't bear it.

Previously, the Northern Branch had taken over the business of the Zhou Medical Hall and occupied a large portion of the market share of low-grade pills.

However, the market share of low-grade pills is huge, and even the Vast Heaven Sect cannot take it all.

But now that the Crystal of Xinghe available, if anyone can buy it, who the hell would still buy low-grade pills?

Look at all the medicine sellers now, they've all switched to giving away low-grade pills for free with the purchase of high-grade ones...

There's no way around it... nobody would buy it if it weren't given away for free, okay?

Sima Bian is now in high spirits.

Just as Chu Xinghe was remarking that Sima Bian was probably going to become the vice president by the end of the year, Ma Liang suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

You're just an outer disciple, how dare you hang around the inner sect all day? Have you no shame?

I heard that Ma Liang's old room has actually been preserved?

Do you realize you're breaking the sect rules? Ma Liang is an outer disciple... and the kind who's forbidden from being promoted for life. Is what you're doing appropriate?

Before Chu Xinghe could even consider whether to give Ma Liang a severe scolding, Ma Liang excitedly brought him some terrible news!

"Senior Brother Xinghe, it won't be so easy for Sima Bian to become the vice president! My Lu Chengqing brother Lu Chengqing has already set off with the Soul-Devouring Banner. This is Junior Brother Lu Chengqing's performance plan for the second half of the year. Please take a look, Senior Brother Xinghe!"

Ma Liang handed Chu Xinghe a plan that looked about four fingers thick.

Chu Xinghe was stunned after just one glance at the plan...

Good heavens... The events that happened at the Vast Heaven Sect's entertainment venue last time have already spread throughout the world. Even today, I hear that all the big shots are still asking when they will get back the Supreme Bone.

Now that Lu Chengqing has announced all the performances he's planning, everyone who's booked them is going crazy.

It's not just that every show is sold out, it's that it's completely packed!

However, because tickets weren't being sold, it was difficult to determine who would be allowed in and who wouldn't, so Lu Chengqing came up with a solution on the spot.

That means priority entry is determined by the level of Tribute Points to the audience.

Wow, as soon as this news came out, everyone showed their respect, hoping to be among the first to see the performance.

I heard that Haotian Tower no longer accepts gifts from Lu Chengqing for less than 100 spirit stones.

The reason is simple... One hundred spirit stones are simply not enough to express respect!

Are you, Lu Chengqing, trying to play this membership pre-charge game with me?

By the time Ma Liang delivered the plan, Lu Chengqing had received an astronomical amount of respect.

I heard that Haotian Tower has stopped hiring musicians recently and is now hiring accountants instead...

There's no way to calculate the amount of respect...

Lu Chengqing even personally commissioned Ouyang Ming to create a real-time updated Tribute Ranking sacred artifacts. Can you believe how outrageous that is...? Using sacred artifacts as a ranking list, is that even polite?

Lu Chengqing has already made it clear that although Sima Bian's Northern Branch has the advantage of timing and location, my Haotian Tower also has manpower and resources. I, Lu Chengqing, am determined to get the vice president position at the end of this year!

You think you can make a fortune selling medicine in the Northern Branch? I, Lu Chengqing, will show you the truth: we artists don't usually make a splash, but when we do, the profits are unmatched by those medicine sellers!

Haven't you heard that art is priceless?

Shi Biao from the Eastern Branch had something to say about Lu Chengqing's domineering declaration.

My Shi Biao Vast Heaven Trading Company was also personally built by Senior Brother Xinghe. In the past, I never organized any activities because I saw that none of you had much income. I was afraid that if I earned too much, you would lose face.

But now you two are actually eyeing my position as vice president, Shi Biao?

Your aunt can tolerate it, but your uncle can't, right?

Therefore, Shi Biao immediately launched the Vast Heaven Shopping Festival...

They were determined to utterly crush Sima Bian and Lu Chengqing.

Upon hearing the news from Ma Liang, Chu Xinghe realized that there was nothing he could do right now except suppress Thunder Shadow.

Are you all vying for the vice president position?

You guys are trying to team up to kill your Senior Brother Xinghe, aren't you?!

Of the four branches, I used to think Qin Xiangqian was the biggest traitor, but now it seems Qin Xiangqian's my real lucky star. At least he doesn't think about betraying me every day, right?

You all keep vying for the vice president position, but I, Chu Xinghe, will definitely push Qin Xiangqian to the position of president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Then, I'll have Qin Xiangqian target you traitors head-on.

While suppressing the Thunder Shadow, he also implied, "Ma Liang, don't you have anything better to do?"

Get out of here, okay? I can't hold back the Thunder Shadow any longer!

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's mention of serious business, Ma Liang immediately asked, "Senior Brother Xinghe, you know about that matter?"

Chu Xinghe was filled with questions. What was it?

Ma Liang, what kind of trouble are you going to cause me this time?

Can you slow down a bit? You're attacking too relentlessly... Senior Brother Xinghe, I can't keep up.

Then Ma Liang revealed the important matter he had mentioned.

The Vast Heaven Sect is a large and powerful family, so it's natural that many forces would come to them seeking help.

The Vast Heaven Sect usually helps these forces whenever possible, lending them various resources, though... interest must be paid.

However, since the Vast Heaven Sect is the number one righteous sect in the world, its interest rates are generally within a reasonable range.

Most forces, faced with the behemoth that is Vast Heaven Sect, would naturally not dare not return the favor.

However, not every family has the ability to repay, so over the years, some of the resources that Vast Heaven Sect has lent out have not been repaid on time.

Senior Brother Ma Biao was in charge of debt collection, but as everyone knows, collecting debts is the most difficult thing.

For those who truly cannot repay, the Vast Heaven Sect usually tries to delay the repayment as much as possible. After all, even the number one sect in the world can't force someone to their death, right?

Recently, Ma Liang has been spending his days loitering around the Spirit Crane Palace, and he's gotten along extremely well with his senior brother Ma Biao.

After learning about the pain of his senior brother Ma Biao's debt collection efforts, Ma Liang immediately stepped forward!

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Ma Biao, leave this to me Ma Liang... Those who have no sense of responsibility, I will make them regret it!"

Therefore, Ma Liang decided to spend the rest of his time accompanying his senior brother Ma Biao to collect debts in various places!

Upon hearing Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe burst into tears of joy!

Junior Brother Ma Liang, you're finally going to do something decent, aren't you?

Senior Brother Xinghe, I wholeheartedly support your offer to help Senior Brother Ma Biao collect his debts.

Is there anything harder in the world than collecting debts?

Collecting a debt isn't like you showing up with an IOU and the other person seeing it and saying, "Oh, it's time to pay you back..."

Those deadbeats who stubbornly refuse to pay back their money can come up with a million reasons for not doing so...

What good would it do for Ma Liang to settle the debts that my Vast Heaven Sect has been chasing for so many years?

However, that's not the key point Ma Liang. As long as you go with Senior Brother Ma Biao to collect the debt, you will have no chance to betray Senior Brother Xinghe. Even if you don't get the debt back at all, it doesn't matter.

When the time comes, no matter who in the sect talks about you or Senior Brother Ma Biao, your Senior Brother Xinghe will step forward and confront them head-on!

After so many days, Chu Xinghe thought, "Finally, I've heard some good news!"

Therefore, Chu Xinghe immediately encouraged Ma Liang, saying that the sect's accounts were a big deal, so he must complete the mission.

Encouraged by Senior Brother Xinghe, Ma Liang immediately replied, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother Xinghe, I, Ma Liang, guarantee to complete the mission!"

After seeing off the confident Ma Liang, Chu Xinghe excitedly sang "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing you prosperity) on the spot!

"Congratulations on your fortune! Hey... Congratulations on your amazing success!"

Go, Ma Liang... embark on your debt collection journey...

It's not that I, Chu Xinghe, look down on you. I've heard Senior Brother Feng Fei talk about the sect's bad debts before. Back then, Senior Brother Feng Fei was the one who handled this business. Senior Brother Feng Fei even said on the spot that some of the bad debts had even been personally dealt with by the Grand Elder, but to no avail.

Those lazy, debt-ridden sects are using every trick in the book to get their money back from the Vast Heaven Sect. They always claim to be in dire straits, praising the Vast Heaven Sect for its benevolence and righteousness, and declaring it the number one sect in the world. They beg the Vast Heaven Sect to grant them leniency!

Even the Grand Elder ultimately returned disappointed.

Even the Grand Elder couldn't handle those deadbeats, so what good would it do for Ma Liang to go there?

The happier you are now, Ma Liang, the sadder you will be when you encounter those deadbeats.

You two Mas will be in charge of collecting the debt this time; I guarantee you'll get together in no time!

Chu Xinghe knew all too well how difficult it was to collect debts... People say that those who borrow money are like grandsons, but when it comes to repaying the money, those who demand repayment are sometimes even more like grandsons than grandsons.

Sometimes you really want to kill those shameless deadbeats.

Ma Liang, you've had it too easy! You even dared to take on a debt collection job?

You're really not afraid of death! But I, Senior Brother Xinghe, fully support your fearless behavior. I've been driven crazy by you during your Senior Brother Xinghe staying in the Vast Heaven Sect. Now, as long as you leave the sect, you're sure to get your money back.

Even if you're just reluctant to lend money to someone else, I, Chu Xinghe, will support you!

Do we, the Vast Heaven Sect, lack those pittances?

Go, Ma Liang! Go and enjoy the thrill of failure in collecting debts.
