Master Teaches Harmony Brings Wealth

If he were dealing with an unfamiliar enemy, Ji Qinglin would be more cautious.

But he knew almost everything about the cultivation methods of these Elders in the Chamber of Commerce over the past two years, and he had seen them fight too many times. He knew them inside and out.

Besides, the purpose today was to establish authority, so going back and forth with moves would be meaningless.

Therefore, facing Yu Ji Zi's ordinary but profound palm strike, Ji Qinglin relied on the massive amount of data he had absorbed and chose the simplest and most effective method: Let's skip the exchanges. I'll just use the sheer volume of data in my body to overwhelm you. He met the palm, returned with an elbow, and finished with a fatal punch, giving Yu Ji Zi no chance to attack.

Of course, Ji Qinglin didn't intend to really kill Yu Ji Zi with one punch.

After all, this was the time to employ people, and besides, he had just heard that this guy didn't want to rebel, but wanted to build his own faction.

He thought of displaying overwhelming strength, and then, just before he struck, Lei Qiuyun would plead for mercy, and he would achieve his goal by combining kindness and power.

But perhaps everyone present, including Lei Qiuyun, didn't expect that Ji Qinglin had not only been hiding his strength all along, but was also so tyrannical. In their surprise, they forgot what they should do.

They only knew that if Ji Qinglin's punch landed, Yu Ji Zi would be dead.

At this moment, Yu Ye reacted quickly. Knowing that this wasn't her Master's usual efficiency when killing people, she saw that her Master didn't intend to kill at all, and shouted in time:

"Master, don't!"

With Yu Ye's reminder, Lei Qiuyun reacted and shouted:

"Teacher! Spare him!"

Because she was anxious, Lei Qiuyun didn't address him as Elder in front of everyone, but directly called him Teacher.

Ji Qinglin then slowly released his left hand, letting the terrified Yu Ji Zi fall to the ground.

But just as he was about to put down his fist, the plaque with the words "Harmony Brings Wealth" above his head fell down because it couldn't withstand the vibration.

Ji Qinglin thought that since he was establishing authority, he might as well do it thoroughly. He didn't put down his right fist, but slammed it into the falling plaque.

Boom—

The words "Harmony" exploded, and then a majestic force instantly blasted a two-meter-wide pit in the thickened wall of the conference room, and the entire wall caved in.

Yu Ji Zi hurriedly rolled away to avoid being affected.

As the plaque with only the words "Brings Wealth" left landed on the ground, Ji Qinglin turned to look at everyone. His face, which was usually full of smiles, was now only stern:

"The old President emphasized Harmony Brings Wealth. If someone only seeks wealth, I, Ji Qinglin, can talk to him about harmony."

Watching Ji Qinglin slowly return to his seat, none of the Elders and President Lei Qiuyun present spoke for a while.

It was Feng San Niang, who was well-informed from Perfect Entertainment City's pleasure quarter, who was the first to react, and she stood up and praised: "Elder Ji has such great skill!"

The others also reacted and echoed: "I really didn't see it. Elder Ji has been hiding too deeply!"

"I didn't expect our Chamber of Commerce to have such an expert!"

At this time, discussing Ji Qinglin in person was definitely inappropriate, but everyone probably had a plan in mind.

They couldn't see the details of the moves just now, but any cultivation method is nothing more than speed, skill, and strength. Judging from the amazing speed and terrifying power he had just displayed, Ji Qinglin's strength should be at least a Grandmaster-level Qi Practitioner, and his specific level should be at least in the Core Formation Realm.

Of course, this was only judged from the power and speed of his moves without showing any specific techniques.

This level of skill obviously couldn't be achieved in a few days, which could only mean that this Elder Ji Qinglin had definitely been biding his time.

Combining his background: suddenly appearing on Xin Dong Street, claiming not to have installed a Cultivation Suit, choosing only a dilapidated small shop, having a very good relationship with the President's family, and being called Teacher by Acting President Lei Qiuyun—no matter how you look at it, this was completely consistent with the image of a reclusive expert who usually doesn't ask about gang affairs, enjoys pastoral life in the back mountains after retirement, and only displays his divine power when something happens.

Thinking of this, everyone even began to suspect Ji Qinglin's real age.

And a term that was laughed at a few days ago gradually resurfaced: Guardian.

Ji Congliang, who had helped his Master Yu Ji Zi back to his seat, spread his hands towards the Elders he had spoken to before, with a helpless expression of "I told you so!"

Yu Ye was still cooperating with her Master, maintaining a cool expert posture, pinching her fingers to prevent herself from proudly laughing out loud.

Lei Qiuyun finally understood what her Teacher meant by "Leave the matter of establishing authority to me."

No wonder her father often told her to learn more from her Teacher. Was she blind at the time? How could she not have noticed her Teacher's true strength? But she couldn't show too much surprise at this time, otherwise her Teacher's efforts would be in vain. So Lei Qiuyun coughed lightly and said:

"Teacher, you've worked hard. Ji Congliang, help Elder Yu Ji Zi to heal and rest first."

Yu Ji Zi, who had been helped back to his seat and had recovered a bit after taking a few breaths, waved his hand and said:

"I'm fine, continue... let's continue the meeting."

It didn't sound like she was showing much dissatisfaction. Similarly, the expressions of the Elders who had just had objections and thoughts of leaving were much more relaxed at this time.

After all, everyone had received a stern warning, but also a reassurance.

Since such an expert was hidden within the Chamber of Commerce, many of the problems they faced were no longer problems.

Seeing this, Lei Qiuyun continued, "Today's meeting was rather rushed. I plan to convene a full Elder meeting in a few days, at least to reassure everyone. Facing this disaster, we ourselves must not be in chaos. What are the Elders' opinions?"

After Lei Qiuyun finished speaking, everyone unconsciously looked at Ji Qinglin. Seeing that the latter was acting as a Double Flower Red Pole today and didn't want to speak, everyone expressed their opinions.

Hong Sanshui of Hongyun Aquatic Products said, "No problem, as long as the Chamber of Commerce is of one mind, no evil spirits can do anything to us. But I only hope that Elder Ji will be merciful and not be too ruthless when dealing with our own people."

"Yes, yes, just scare them a little."

Who knew that Yu Ji Zi, who had just been beaten, would slam the table and retort, "How can we gain a foothold by just talking? We have to let those with bold ideas know what an iron fist is! We must strike down a few typical examples who are thinking of betraying the Chamber of Commerce or trying to seize power!"

Everyone looked at Yu Ji Zi's righteous words, not knowing if he was speaking from experience, or if he felt that beating down a few more Elders would make him feel less embarrassed today.

Feng Si Niang of Perfect Entertainment City, seeing that no one was asking Ji Qinglin, took the initiative to request, "Elder Ji, we've recently had some Xi Chang Association guys causing trouble at our place, and they're quite difficult to deal with. I was wondering if you could help us out? It seems the Entertainment City hasn't invited Elder Ji to come and sit down yet, which is indeed a lack of courtesy. When you come, I'll call a few..."

"Elder Ji, we at Hongyun Aquatic Products also have some matters that need..."

Before they could finish speaking, Lei Qiuyun lightly tapped the table and said:

"I have other arrangements for Master. If the Elders' businesses encounter any problems, report them directly to me, and I will send someone to handle them, ensuring you a satisfactory result."

"Yes, President."

"Then let's end here for today. Also, regarding this meeting, don't mention it to the other Elders for now."

"Yes!"

The Elders nodded in unison, thinking, You don't want us to mention it? We can't be the only ones who were shocked and looked like we'd never seen the world. We have to properly admire the surprised expressions of the other Elders when the time comes. Thinking about it this way, they were actually a little impatient.
