The crowd went up the mountain.
Until they sat in the council chamber, the junior sister was still in a daze.
She couldn’t imagine how the third and seventh senior brothers conquered Tianlan Valley.
The other side clearly had more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators!
If only the third and seventh senior brothers had returned, she would definitely think that her senior brothers were lying. But those dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators were all brought back…
It all felt like a dream!
That was the Tianlan Valley where several disciples were mobilized and forced her father to death!
If her father were alive, it would be great if the third senior brother could have achieved enlightenment. Then, the other senior brothers wouldn’t have died…
…
After learning about Xu Heming and the others’ identities, the eldest senior brother’s expression was similar to that of the junior sister. He looked at Du Ge, unable to say a word.
Among the senior brothers, he was the oldest and the most knowledgeable.
Before.
When he was lying in bed unable to move, he didn’t notice anything wrong with Du Ge.
Later, after taking the Revival Pill and being able to move, he saw the various changes in Qixing Mountain, which made him suspect that the third senior brother’s body might have been taken over by someone else.
Even if the third senior brother used the reason of enlightenment, enlightenment was only related to cultivation. How could he have comprehended so much systematic knowledge at a glance?
This was unreasonable, and he could only deceive the naive junior sister and junior brother.
The third senior brother went out once and conquered Tianlan Valley, and even raised his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage. This further confirmed his judgment that the one occupying the third senior brother’s body was probably a demon head with extraordinary abilities…
But Qixing Mountain had fallen to such a state. Without the third senior brother’s help, they might have been gone long ago.
The demon head who took over the third senior brother’s body had no intention of harming them. Instead, he protected them everywhere. The eldest senior brother was not foolish enough to expose Du Ge’s identity.
According to reason.
When Tianlan Valley caused the death of their master, the third senior brother should have killed Ma Chuanzong and the others to honor their master’s spirit in heaven. But Du Ge didn’t do that. He didn’t even dare to mention it.
He was a useless person, and the junior sister and junior brother were ignorant of the ways of the world. Who was more useful than whom?
Having experienced life and death, the eldest senior brother had long realized that this world was a survival of the fittest. Without strength, nothing mattered. The current situation was the best choice for everyone. He had to accept Du Ge’s protection and the favor of saving his life…
…
Glancing at Xu Heming and the others from time to time, the junior sister reported the recent situation of Qixing Mountain to Du Ge: “… Sect Leader, after you left, I followed your instructions to build roads, recruit disciples.
As a result, more and more people came to the mountain gate to buy shares. Many villagers even borrowed money to buy several shares of our Qixing Sect’s stock.
Later, when news of the stock spread, many businessmen from Danyang City also came to Qixing Mountain to buy shares. They made big moves of several thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver.
There was a guy named Fang Shan who made a move of fifty thousand taels.
This person was the most annoying. He somehow got wind of the news of the senior brother going to Tianlan Valley and spread rumors everywhere, saying that the senior brother might not come back, and Qixing Mountain might not be able to continue. This led to many people coming to Qixing Mountain to sell their contracts on a large scale, almost causing a big mess.
As a result, he took the opportunity to buy many shares from the people at low prices. After I found out, he justified himself, saying that this was normal business behavior. If he were killed, no more wealthy merchants would come to buy Qixing Mountain’s stock.
Once there were no more wealthy merchants coming to buy, the trading contracts, and the stock of Qixing Mountain would plummet, and the people who bought the contracts with real money would be submerged by Qixing Mountain. I don’t know if what he said is right or not, so I had to detain him and wait for the senior brother to decide.”
Damn!
This method?
Was there a warrior from the Alien Star Battlefield guiding him from behind?
“Well, I understand.” Du Ge smiled, “I see that many people are buying stocks. What’s going on?”
“I see many people coming to redeem their stocks, afraid that what he said is true, and the angry people will submerge Qixing Mountain. After all, we’ve spent all the money and can’t afford so much wealth. I told everyone that Fang Shan was spreading rumors and engaging in despicable behavior by taking the opportunity to buy stocks at low prices.”
The junior sister said, “Then, the people suddenly stopped coming to redeem their stocks, and things gradually returned to normal.
After the news of the senior brother’s conquest of Tianlan Valley spread, more people will probably come to buy stocks. Senior brother, you don’t know how scared I was when facing so many people. I was afraid that the senior brother wouldn’t come back and would harm so many people…”
“It won’t happen. As long as we continue to grow stronger, no one will be harmed.” Du Ge smiled, “Where is Fang Shan? Take me to see him.”
“He’s in the backyard,” the junior sister said.
“Let’s go and see him.” Du Ge stood up. He had been here for almost a month and hadn’t encountered a single warrior. It had to be said that these guys were hiding too well.
This kind of silence made him feel like he was playing a single-player game, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable. He had to find a breakthrough for himself.
Fang Shan might be an opportunity.
Manipulating stocks while he was on an expedition to Tianlan Valley seemed like a test from the other party to him.This guy must have been the first one who couldn’t resist jumping out, creating a listed Sect. He probably didn’t expect his Keywords to be plunder, did he?
Following the usual tactics of those guys, they would probably love to have someone who uses management as a means to be among the top ten…
“Senior brother, merchants are shrewd. In the future, actions like Fang Shan’s may become more frequent. Then, the Seven Stars Sect will be manipulated by them without us realizing it. How should we respond?” On the way to the backyard, the junior sister asked with a worried heart.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as the overall situation doesn’t collapse,” Du Ge said. “We have clearly stated on every agreement that investment carries risks. The money has already been spent. If it really collapses, they can only blame their own greed!”
“…” The junior sister was stunned, never expecting to hear such a statement from Du Ge.
Du Ge looked at his dazed junior sister and shook his head with a smile: “Don’t worry, unless I die, the Seven Stars Sect will never collapse. If I really die, you guys just take the money and run…”
The junior sister’s face changed, and she suddenly grabbed Du Ge’s arm, anxiously saying: “Senior brother will never die, I won’t allow you to talk nonsense.”
“Of course, as long as you help me make money with peace of mind, I will never die.” Du Ge smiled, patted the junior sister’s shoulder, and then, he had an undergarment and a middle garment in his hand, also transferring two streams of spiritual power to the junior sister.
“…”
Du Ge awkwardly handed back the clothes that still carried his body heat.
The junior sister’s face turned red in an instant, grabbed the clothes Du Ge handed over, and ran without looking back: “Third senior brother, the second room on the left hand, go find Fang Shan yourself!”
Du Ge looked at his hand, shook his head helplessly, and turned to walk towards the room where Fang Shan was detained.
…
“Fang Shan?” Du Ge pushed open the door and saw Fang Shan inside the room, pot-bellied and dressed in luxury.
Seeing Du Ge enter, Fang Shan clasped his hands together, bowing respectfully to Du Ge: “Fang Shan of Danyang City, greets the Sect Leader of the Seven Stars Sect.”
“Sect Leader Fang, please take a seat.” Du Ge smiled, gesturing to the chair behind him, “Sect Leader Fang, buying and selling stocks is a matter of skill. In this matter, my junior sister has gone a bit too far, I apologize on her behalf.”
Fang Shan looked deeply at Du Ge, suddenly opened his robe, and knelt down in front of Du Ge like a collapsing mountain of gold and jade, his hands held high with a spiritual stone in his palm.
Du Ge was startled: “Sect Leader Fang, what are you doing?”
Fang Shan looked up, tears streaming down his face: “Fang Shan is willing to offer a spiritual stone, asking Sect Leader Du to kill my son Fang Wenle, to avenge my child.”
Du Ge looked at Fang Shan, took the spiritual stone from his hand, and suddenly laughed: “How did you find out about him?”
Fang Shan stood up, shook his head with a bitter smile: “No one knows a son better than his father. No matter how well he pretends, how could he deceive me, his old father?”
Du Ge played with the spiritual stone in his hand, feeling the spiritual power contained within, and asked: “Why didn’t you go to the Supervisory Institute, but instead come all the way to our Seven Stars Sect?”
“The Supervisory Institute is full of good-for-nothings, I don’t trust them,” Fang Shan snorted.
“Then why come to me? Aren’t you afraid we’re in cahoots?” Du Ge asked.
“You can’t possibly be in cahoots.” Fang Shan shook his head, “He originally pretended to be my son, living a carefree life, but as soon as the news from the Seven Stars Sect reached Danyang City, he couldn’t wait to go and learn the arts. Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed me to invest in the Seven Stars Sect, preferably to control the shares of the Seven Stars Sect. He’s clearly avoiding you, yet wants to use me to disrupt the operations of the Seven Stars Sect, so you and him must be enemies…”
“Learn the arts?” Du Ge asked, “Where did he go?”
“The Heavenly Path Institute,” Fang Shan glanced at Du Ge, “but I think, nine times out of ten, he will change his itinerary and head to another Sect…”
