Punishment Plan

Ma Feifei hadn't expected Yun Qingyang's weak legs to cause him such a serious incident, which startled him. The sudden change in the color of the sky and earth added to the Pressure of unease. He quickly helped Yun Qingyang up and said, "What are you doing? This sudden emotional outburst caught me off guard!"

Putting aside his good relationship with Yun Qingyang, based on Yun Qingyang's contributions to the Mysterious Bookstore over such a long period of time, Ma Feifei felt obligated to help Yun Qingyang fulfill this wish.

Besides, the world has changed color; if he dares to refuse, it's questionable whether he'll even be able to leave this courtyard in the next second.

Yun Qingyang was a little downcast and turned to go inside.

Ma Feifei stood outside looking at Yun Qingyang's room, sighed softly, and turned to walk towards the Bookstore. This matter needed to be considered more carefully.

Inside the Bookstore, customers were quietly reading. Zhang Yunji stood at the door chatting casually with Ba Jiu. Luan Feng was wiping the bookshelves with a rag, cleaning the dirt off them. The large Bookstore was quiet and exuded a leisurely and elegant atmosphere.

The strange phenomenon that occurred outside did not seem to affect the customers inside the Bookstore.

The news of Ma Feifei's reappearance at the Mysterious Bookstore spread throughout Dubian Town. For the cultivators of Dubian Town, Ma Feifei had become their Sea Calming Divine Needle and someone they relied on.

In addition, the fake Book Card incident that has recently spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent has also been brought up again by cultivators. No one knows what the fate of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce, the second Great Shang guild in the Great Chu, will be.

In fact, no one had told Ma Feifei about the fake Book Card incident since he returned, because the employees at the Mysterious Bookstore didn't care about such things at all. So it wasn't until Zhou Zhuling came to tell Ma Feifei about it near noon that he realized the mastermind behind it had been found.

"The Yunteng Chamber of Commerce? Aren't they the second Great Shang in the Chu Kingdom? Do you think they'd be interested in such a paltry sum?" Ma Feifei asked, frowning in confusion.

The Yunteng Chamber of Commerce is one of the Great Shang in the Chu Kingdom, on par with the Wantong Chamber of Commerce. Its annual profit is billions of Spirit Crystal in pure profit. Manufacturing fake Book Card is definitely not feasible on a large scale. They can only secretly sell a few or dozens of cards at a time to make a one-time profit.

Moreover, this method is not only unsustainable, but it also easily leads to trouble. If it is discovered, one's reputation will be ruined, especially for a business like the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce. According to Zhou Zhuling, the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce is now basically despised by everyone in the entire Great Chu. The number of customers in its Great Shang and trading markets has plummeted, and everyone is ashamed of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce refuses to buy or sell goods in any of its shops or trading markets.

Therefore, the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce of Commerce has not been having an easy time lately. If it weren't for its thousands of years of history, it would probably have closed down by now.

"It's said that the mastermind behind this was Yun Xiang, the son of the current president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce," Zhou Zhuling whispered back.

"Do you know why you're doing this?" Ma Feifei had never heard of this guy before, so she was pretty sure she had no conflict with him.

"The whole thing started because the current president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce is getting old and wants to step down, but the next president has not yet been chosen," Zhou Zhuling explained.

Ma Feifei nodded, listening intently, and said, "Go on."

"The Yunteng Chamber of Commerce has a son and a daughter, and the son is named Yun Xiang."

"What about your daughter?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but ask curiously when Zhou Zhuling only mentioned one name.

Zhou Zhuling tossed a strand of hair, looked at Ma Feifei, and said with a slight smile, "My daughter's name is Yun Lian Yi."

Ma Feifei was slightly surprised upon hearing this, and subconsciously replied, "So Lian Yi is the daughter of the president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce!"

As the Book-holding woman the mission, Lian Yi was someone Ma Feifei was very familiar with. Moreover, it was because of Lian Yi's help that Ma Feifei was able to obtain six Great Desolation Relic Tokens and go to the Great Desolation Relic to play a game of chess.

However, Lian Yi never told Ma Feifei about her background, and Ma Feifei naturally had no interest in learning about Lian Yi's story, so Lian Yi's identity has always been a mystery.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the daughter of the president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce, the second Great Shang in the Great Chu.

"There are rumors circulating that the president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce is wavering about whether to pass the position to his son or daughter. So he set up a competition, sending Yun Xiang and Lian Yi out to do business without a single penny. Whoever earns the most Spirit Crystal within the allotted time wins and becomes the next president of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce." Zhou Zhuling is currently the head of the Wantong Trading Market, which is now a rising star in the Chu Kingdom. Many forces are on good terms with it, and she knows a great deal about the Great Shang in the Chu Kingdom.

"It seems Chairman Yun's son is not up to any good!" Ma Feifei sighed slightly upon hearing this.

Boys from wealthy families are all good-for-nothings...

Girls from wealthy families are all easy targets for sex, beautiful and rich...

In fact, Ma Feifei could have foreseen everything that followed. That young master didn't have any quick ways to make money, and seeing the booming sales of the new Book Card at the Mysterious Bookstore, he naturally had a crooked idea: to profit by counterfeiting Book Card and ultimately defeat Lian Yi, his competitor.

"And then what happened? What was President Yun's attitude after this happened?" Ma Feifei asked, stroking his chin. Now that the truth was out, it was time to see how the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce would react.

The question is whether to hand over Yunxiang to Mysterious Bookstore and give them an explanation, or to choose to protect Yunxiang.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhuling hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, President Yun has already arrived in Dubian Town with Yun Xiang, but Brother Ma, you haven't been at the Mysterious Bookstore these past few days, so you haven't been able to come and apologize."

"So fast?" Ma Feifei was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce to be so decisive, sending its president and the mastermind to Dubian Town to give the Mysterious Bookstore an explanation.

"In fact, not only President Yun, but Yun Lian Yi also came along," Zhou Zhuling added.

"Lian Yi?" Ma Feifei frowned. He roughly guessed why Lian Yi had come along. She hoped that he, Ma Feifei, would treat the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce leniently for her sake!

However, on the other hand, Ma Feifei didn't really care about this matter.

Because no cultivator with a fake Book Card could sneak into the Mysterious Bookstore, those who bought the fake Book Card were the ones who truly hated the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce.
