Chapter 53: The Elder Council
Chapter 53: The Elder Council
There were a total of seven elders in the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, but it seemed that only six elders were present because one of the positions was empty.
The six elders were old men with white beards, representing six families.
In addition, there was a person sitting in the room but sitting behind the empty position, it seemed that he was the spokesperson of the elder who was not present.
Mo Xiu looked at that person a few times and found that the person's eyebrows and Su Qianqian's eyebrows were somewhat similar to each other, so if not surprising, that person should be Su Qianqian's father or uncle's generation, and the one who did not show up was the elder of the Su Family.
Su Qianqian was naturally there, but there was no place for her to sit here, hence, she had to be respectful even when she was standing as she didn't dare to relax a little bit.
Mo Xiu's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the person who was suspected to be Su Qianqian's father, who looked at Mo Xiu's eyes with a trace of hostility as if Mo Xiu had taken away his most beloved baby.
Even if he was looked at by many eyes, Mo Xiu didn't have any fear, and he seemed very calm as if he couldn't feel the aggressive eyes of everyone at all.
On the contrary, it was Su Qianqian who holding the corner of her clothes that looked a little nervous. At the same time, she looked at Mo Xiu with a hint of guilt. If it weren't for the elders' meeting where so many eyes were present, she would have apologized to Mo Xiu already.
Mo Xiu glanced at Su Qianqian, gave a reassuring look, and immediately raised his head to look at the elders present.
"Are you that so-called Young Master Wuji?" a certain elder suddenly asked.
"Exactly." Mo Xiu nodded.
The elder promptly slapped the table, "What an act of courage! How dare you set up a conspiracy into our Rainbow Chamber of Commerce? Who is it that gives you the confidence?"
Perhaps it was frightened by this person's anger, the room was silent, and everyone did not dare to breathe.
For a while, a white and fat elder next to that elder smiled and said, "Brother Feiyun, calm down your anger. What if it's not what we think?"
As he said, he looked at Mo Xiu again, "Young Master Wuji, right? Why haven't you quickly told the truth about the origin of your identity and the purpose of entering the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce yet?"
Mo Xiu was not an ignorant man, knowing that these people were using words to deceive him. They indeed looked very angry but not yet furious.
Moreover, the elder that shouted at him earlier and this white fat elder must have played the roles of black and white, one gave him a scare, the other one asked him to explain the situation clearly.
If it were to be a normal teenager instead, he would have already revealed everything a long time ago.
But that said, Mo Xiu was only a teenager physically, but mentally, he was a super old monster, and these so-called Rainbow Chamber of Commerce elders were like little kids to him. They couldn't scare him at all.
He shook his head slightly, "Why should I tell you my identity? If you don't want me to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, I will just withdraw."
The elder with the name Feiyun immediately snorted, "Do you think Rainbow Chamber of Commerce is like the fish market where you can withdraw or join at will?"
"If I want to quit, I will quit. What can you do with me?" Mo Xiu said, turning around and leaving.
All the elders present were stunned. It seemed that Mo Xiu was such a person.
Soon, Elder Feiyun yelled in anger, "Guards! Take him down!"
With this order, countless warriors rushed in from outside and stopped in front of Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu glanced at it roughly. Thirty or forty people were all Core Formation cultivators, and among them, there were also cultivators with the cultivation base of 9th level of Core Formation Realm. It could be seen that the background of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce was pretty good.
These Core Formation cultivators were top experts in the eyes of others, but they were nothing in the eyes of Mo Xiu.
Before those people could approach Mo Xiu, a hefty pressure radiated from Mo Xiu's body. The unseen True Energy swept away, suddenly like a surging wave, directly blocking the thirty or forty Core Formation warriors who stood in front of him and pushing out horizontally.
"Boom, boom..."
Everyone fell and sat on the ground, feeling a little dumbfounded for a while.
Mo Xiu didn't even look at these Core Formation experts and walked out.
"How... how could this happen?"
Those Core Formation warriors who had fallen on the ground still couldn't react.
The elders in the seats were even more unbelievable. They didn't even know what Mo Xiu had done. They only saw that Mo Xiu took a look at the Core Formation warriors, and those Core Formation warriors retreated and fell to the ground.
It was said that the real expert could kill with just one look. Could it be that?
"Is he really that powerful?" all the elders looked at each other.
Seeing that Mo Xiu was about to leave, Su Qianqian was a little anxious, and hurriedly bowed to the elders and ran after him.
Mo Xiu didn't walk fast, so he was easily overtaken by Su Qianqian and heard her yelled, "Young Master Wuji, please stay!"
Mo Xiu stopped and turned to look at Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian asked again, "Is it necessary to withdraw from Rainbow Chamber of Commerce?"
"If I want to quit, no one here can stop me, neither can you," Mo Xiu said calmly.
Having seen the scene just now, Su Qianqian had no doubt about this, but she finally made Mo Xiu agree to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. If she just made Mo Xiu withdraw, wouldn't her previous efforts be in vain?
As she was about to persuade, she saw a warrior hurried over, "Lord Deacon, the elders asked me to come and invite you back."
"Do they think if they ask me to go back, I will go back? Who do they think they are?" Mo Xiu snorted coldly, showing a temper.
"That..." the warrior was taken aback for a moment.
Mo Xiu waved his hand, "You let them come personally so that I still have the possibility to talk to them."
The warrior suddenly had a numb scalp, but he still bowed to Mo Xiu and quickly returned.
At this time, Su Qianqian saw through Mo Xiu's intentions a little bit, so she stopped persuading him, just accompanied him, and waited quietly.
A moment later, another person came in a hurry.
"Father." Su Qianqian hurriedly bowed when she saw the man.
Su Qianqian's father's name was Su Xuan, who was sitting with the six elders before.
It was purely unrealistic for the elders to come in personally. How could they be the elders of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce if they agreed to an outsider like this? They needed a face, and it was impossible to slap their own face and run out to invite him back.
But Mo Xiu's strength was so strong, the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce was still very eager for such a person, and there was no reason to let Mo Xiu leave like this.
So Su Xuan was the unlucky one. Under the pressure of the six elders, he was completely reduced to an errand boy.
Mo Xiu himself joined the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce at Su Qianqian's invitation, and Su Xuan's personal invitation was also justified.
Su Xuan nodded to Su Qianqian, and quickly looked at Mo Xiu and said, "Young Master Wuji, the old elders have offended you, I hope that you can forgive them."
Mo Xiu remained silent, saying nothing.
Su Xuan looked at Mo Xiu, who was obviously much younger than himself in age, but still felt a burst of pressure as if Mo Xiu was the person in the high and noble position.
After a while, he cautiously tentatively said, "The elders have promised not to ask about Sir's origins again. Can Sir go back and have a good discussion with us?"
It was unknown if the pressure was too great, but he unconsciously used honorifics.
Mo Xiu stared at Su Xuan for a while and finally nodded.
Soon, the group of people returned to the meeting, and the elders dared not let Mo Xiu stand again, and ordered people to move a stool so that Mo Xiu could sit down and talk.
Mo Xiu was not polite. After sitting down, he looked at the elders present and asked casually, "What do you want to talk about?"
The elders looked at each other.
Elder Feiyun from earlier was not very good at talking, so the speaker became the fat elder instead. He said, "Young Master Wuji, can you tell me what is your current cultivation base?"
"9th level of the Foundation Building Realm." Mo Xiu answered truthfully.
"9th level of the Foundation Building Realm? How is it possible?" all the elders subconsciously chose not to believe it.
How could there be at this level who could crush dozens of Core Formation cultivators? Even the Great Perfection Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator couldn't do this so easily, right?
The fat elder was the first one to react and say with a smile, "Understood, it is understandable that Young Master Wuji is not willing to disclose it. After all, your cultivation is so advanced, you may even scare us when you say it out, or because the sect behind you does not allow you to reveal this."
"The sect behind?" Mo Xiu frowned slightly, always feeling that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something.
That fat elder tentatively said, "We are just curious about your cultivation level, but we don't have to know, but what purpose should you come to Yan Capital? Can you tell...?"
Mo Xiu: "I'm here just to have a look and kill a few people by the way. It has nothing to do with you."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyelids jumped wildly.
Kill? Who to kill? Who could let such a powerful person make a special trip to Yan Capital?
At this moment, all the elders weighed in their hearts.
Although Mo Xiu said it had nothing to do with them, their Rainbow Chamber of Commerce was Mo Xiu's guarantor, and even Mo Xiu had the identity of a deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce on his head too. What was going to happen? If something happened, could their Rainbow Chamber of Commerce get out of this relationship?
This was a whirlpool, once involved, it was not so easy to get out.
However, Mo Xiu's strength was obvious to all. Although their Rainbow Chamber of Commerce was strong, they really couldn't find a powerhouse of such strength. If they were tied to Mo Xiu, their Rainbow Chamber of Commerce might not be able to go further.
Mo Xiu naturally saw the thoughts of everyone. Before everyone could make a decision, he said, "Don't worry, the matter about killing people is my personal problem. It won't hurt you. Besides, I won't join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce in vain. Before I quit, you can ask me any questions about herbs."
"Are you also a pharmacist?" everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
"Yeah." Mo Xiu nodded gently.
The fat elder asked Mo Xiu again, "Dare to ask Young Master Wuji, has your identity as a pharmacist been verified by Alchemy League?"
