Yunteng Chamber of Commerce

Of course, Mysterious Bookstore also needs to address this issue. Otherwise, allowing counterfeit Book Card to proliferate could easily impact the market. Although Mysterious Bookstore currently holds a dominant position and monopolizes the market across the Azure Dragon Continent, it can't afford to disregard customer experience like some shameless companies in the past, can it?

"What do you think should be done about this?" Ma Feifei asked Zhou Zhuling. He didn't know much about these things, but Zhou Zhuling managed the huge Wantong Trading Market and had quite a broad perspective. Ma Feifei thought it would be good to hear her opinion.

Zhou Zhuling was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Ma Feifei to ask for her opinion. However, she had done some research and Analytic on the matter, and after organizing her thoughts, she replied, "The Yunteng Chamber of Commerce is one of the Great Shang in the Great Chu. If it were to be destroyed, it would likely cause economic turmoil in the Chu Kingdom, inevitably affecting the people of the Chu Kingdom."

Whether it was destroying the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce or causing economic turmoil in the Chu Kingdom, Zhou Zhuling did not utter any arrogant words. With the current power of the Mysterious Bookstore, destroying the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce would be a simple matter of a word. The Mysterious Bookstore n't even need to take any action itself, as those forces that wanted to befriend it would swarm in.

Not to mention that the current Empress Chu Qiongyu of the Chu Kingdom is said to have a close relationship with Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, and obeys Ma Feifei's every command. Offending Ma Feifei is equivalent to offending the Empress of the Chu Kingdom. Moreover, the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce is one of the Great Shang in the Great Chu. It relies on the Chu Kingdom's government for survival, and its life or death depends entirely on the Empress's whims.

To put it bluntly, whether in the legitimate or underworld, the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce has no way to compete with the Mysterious Bookstore.

Of course, as one of the Great Shang in the Chu Kingdom, the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce has businesses all over the Chu Kingdom. Every year, countless people in the Chu Kingdom of Chu are supported by the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce. If the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce were to collapse, the people of the Chu Kingdom would certainly be affected.

Ma Feifei listened quietly without refuting Zhou Zhuling's words. His status was different now, and his mentality was naturally different as well. In his eyes, the entire Azure Dragon Continent had now become his backyard, so it was not appropriate to kill all the time. The key was to stabilize his backyard and produce countless Spirit Crystal to replenish his Mysterious Bookstore.

Seeing that Ma Feifei did not refute her, Zhou Zhuling continued, "But this matter is quite serious. If we don't deter others, there's no chance that some will take the risk again and forge Book Card. So the Punishment must not be lenient."

"What would be an appropriate Punishment?" Ma Feifei asked casually.

Destroy the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce? Kill Yun Xiang? Obviously not. The president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce personally brought his son to Dubian Town to apologize, and Lian Yi also came along. The meaning is very clear: they do not want Yun Xiang to die.

Ma Feifei could disregard the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce and President Yun, but he couldn't disregard Lian Yi, the girl who had once helped him complete his mission.

So how to Punishment is the question.

"Shopkeeper." At this moment, Zhang Yunji suddenly walked into the backyard, came to Ma Feifei, and bowed, saying, "Shopkeeper, the president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce requests an audience."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

"Let him wait a moment," Ma Feifei said, waving his hand.

Zhang Yunji hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Shopkeeper, they're kneeling outside the Bookstore, attracting a lot of attention."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei stroked his chin and glanced at Zhou Zhuling.

Zhou Zhuling's lips curled up slightly as she smiled and said, "This is a self-inflicted injury ruse."

Ma Feifei chuckled and said to Zhang Yunji, "Let them kneel down first, but make sure they don't block the way. Kneel to the side."

They dared to mess with Mysterious Bookstore; how could they be let off so easily?

"Yes!" Zhang Yunji responded and prepared to leave.

As if remembering something, Ma Feifei waved her hand and said, "Did Lian Yi kneel? Go and help her up. This has nothing to do with her. Tell her not to meddle."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunji glanced at Ma Feifei with a hint of mockery.

Ma Feifei's big eyes widened. "I didn't feel sorry for her!"

"Yunji knows." Zhang Yunji was holding it in, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Roll!"

"Yes!"

"This guy is getting more and more outrageous." Ma Feifei said angrily to Zhou Zhuling as he watched Zhang Yunji's departing figure.

Zhou Zhuling looked at Ma Feifei's face, and suddenly felt melancholy. She fell silent.

"Zhuling?" Ma Feifei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh..." Zhou Zhuling was snapped out of her daze, smoothed her hair, and said, "Zhuling thinks that since President Yun wants to use a self-inflicted injury to gain your understanding, Brother Ma, why not let them kneel for a while longer? Firstly, it will make the attitude of all parties towards this kind of thing very Mysterious Bookstore, and secondly, it will also bring more benefits."

"Benefits?" Ma Feifei didn't quite understand this sentence. How did it suddenly become related to benefits?

Zhou Zhuling looked at Ma Feifei and smiled, "Yunxiang's production of counterfeit Book Card not only damaged the reputation of Mysterious Bookstore, but also caused it economic losses. Naturally, all of this should be attributed to the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce of Commerce."

At this point, Zhou Zhuling took out a Spirit Crystal from her spatial ring and placed it in front of Ma Feifei, saying, "The longer we ignore them, the more uneasy they will become, and the more they will be willing to sacrifice more flesh to atone for the mistakes Yun Xiang has made."

As the saying goes, a game of strategy is also a game of mind; whoever's mind is disturbed or wavers will lose.

The greater the pressure from the Mysterious Bookstore, the greater the sacrifices the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce will make, since the president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce doesn't want to give up his son, or even the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce.

They were afraid! They were afraid that Ma Feifei would get angry and implicate the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce, directly destroying it.

Ma Feifei listened attentively. It was the first time he had seen Zhou Zhuling speak so eloquently in front of him, like a female strategist, so dashing and spirited.

'It seems she has grown a lot in the past two years,' Ma Feifei thought to himself as he looked at Zhou Zhuling.

Zhou Zhuling was speaking when she suddenly noticed Ma Feifei staring at her with a rather strange look in his eyes. She immediately stopped talking, looked away somewhat embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ma?"

"Oh..." This time it was Ma Feifei's turn to come to his senses. He rubbed his hands together a little embarrassedly, then took the Spirit Crystal from Zhou Zhuling's palm and nodded, saying, "Then let's do as you say. Let them wait for a while. As for what to do next, that's entirely up to you."

"Leave it to me?" Zhou Zhuling was slightly surprised. This matter was neither a big deal nor a small one; it was related to the reputation of Mysterious Bookstore. Ma Feifei actually wanted to entrust this matter to her.

Most importantly, Zhou Zhuling is not strictly speaking a part of Mysterious Bookstore; she and Ma Feifei are merely partners.

"Yes, I trust you. Just do it your way." Ma Feifei waved his hand and said.

It wasn't that Ma Feifei was afraid of trouble, but the main problem was that this matter involved Lian Yi. If he acted according to his personality, his soft heart would kick in, and Lian Yi would beg him a couple of times and the matter would be resolved peacefully. It would be better to just hand it over to Zhou Zhuling.

Of course, the most crucial question is: where does Ma Feifei find so much time to deal with this? He still needs to return to the Book Battle Continent to help Yun Qingyang find the whereabouts of her parents.
