Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 222 The Wind and Cloud Chamber of Commerce

Having just arrived, Guan Xun didn't know anyone. Remembering what Zhao Gui had said before leaving, she asked for the location of the Chamber of Commerce and went straight there.

Zhongtan Holy City truly lived up to its reputation as the largest and most prosperous city in Zhongzhou. After half a day of walking, she had a general understanding of the city's scale.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's larger than the entire Imperial Domain.

soon.

A magnificent building came into view, with a gilded bronze plaque set in a white marble frame, the four characters "Fengyun Chamber of Commerce" filled in black ink, looking quite imposing.

Such a large scale doesn't seem like that of a small business; it seems we really found the right place.

This place is different from other places; it's a place for negotiating deals, so people can come and go as they please. Guan Xun concealed his black robe and followed the others inside.

However, as soon as they stepped into the spacious hall, they heard a loud commotion.

With a casual glance, she saw two groups of people facing each other menacingly, one of whom was Zhao Gui's group.

"What? Am I wrong?" A man in a white robe spoke arrogantly, tapping his folding fan. Behind him were seven or eight people, all with their hands on their hips and fists clenched, looking ready to fight.

"So many caravans have traveled back and forth along this ten-mile road countless times, yet you're the only ones who stumbled there. Isn't that ridiculous? Don't you think that's funny?"

After the man finished speaking, the others echoed his sentiments.

"People should have the courage to admit their own stupidity. Why be so stubborn about something useless?"

"You!" Zhao Gui gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and was about to step forward to attack, but was pulled back by Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji stepped forward and blocked the group: "Tang Chao, this is not something your Fourth Team should concern itself with."

These words undoubtedly struck a nerve with Tang Chao, whose face suddenly contorted with rage: "A bunch of useless trash! The only thing you can be proud of is your caravan's ranking! But don't worry, we'll take the third-place caravan position sooner or later."

"When you come back from this mission, you'll be crushed by us."

Zhao Gui was always impulsive, and even with Zhao Wuji stopping him, he couldn't suppress his anger and rushed forward to make a move.

"Zhao Gui." Guan Xun didn't care about their conflict and called out indifferently.

A clear female voice echoed through the hall, tearing a crack in the tense atmosphere.

Everyone turned around and looked toward the source of the sound, only to see a tall, dark figure that had appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Zhao Gui and the others naturally recognized the voice. He froze for a moment, then suddenly turned around: "Hey? Miss, what are you doing here?"

We've only been apart for a short time, and I thought I'd never see him again.

"I need to talk to you about something. Come out with me."

After hearing this, Zhao Gui glared fiercely at Tang Chao and the others. Just as he was about to go over, that annoying voice rang out again.

"What, are you pretending I don't exist? Are you afraid of losing face completely, so you're hiring someone to put on a show and save the day, right?"

"And you too," Tang Chao pointed fiercely at Guan Xun, "why are you all wrapped up from head to toe, trying to act mysterious? It sounds like you two have a good relationship, perhaps you're having an affair?"

Zhao Gui flew into a rage and roared, "What the hell are you spouting!"

"Oh dear, you're getting worked up over a few words." Tang Chao said sarcastically. "Looks like I guessed right. Could the incident on Shili Road be related to this person?"

Zhao Gui gritted his teeth, panting heavily, unable to suppress his anger any longer. He took a sudden step forward, the powerful force causing the robes of everyone present to hiss as if they were about to tear.

He brandished his spear and pointed it sharply at the Tang Dynasty: "Shut up!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Chao suddenly screamed, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees on the smooth marble floor.

Bright red blood seeped from his robes at his knees: "Aaaaah! It hurts, it hurts so much! My leg...?!"

Everyone was so shocked by this scene that they froze on the spot, their eyes involuntarily fixed on Zhao Gui.

"What, what happened? I didn't see anyone make a move, yet Tang Chao is injured?!"

"It appears that both legs were broken!"

"When did Zhao Gui become able to injure people from a distance? His cultivation is so powerful!"

"Captain!" Someone rushed forward to help Tang Chao. "You, Zhao Gui! How dare you openly injure someone within the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce! How dare you disregard the rules!"

Zhao Gui was also bewildered. He lowered his hand, which had been holding the spear, and his temples throbbed violently. What was going on? He hadn't even made a move! Could it be...?

Having guessed what was going on, he turned to look at the motionless black figure behind him.

Was it the young lady who made the move?

"How dare you! How dare you..." Tang Chao's lips trembled with pain, and tears welled up in his eyes. Before he could finish speaking, a powerful force surged from the entrance of the hall, bypassing everyone and striking him hard in the chest!

In an instant, he felt as if his internal organs had been shattered. He coughed up blood and was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string!

Everyone was shocked!

Just then, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared behind Tang Chao, her body swirling with energy as she lifted herself up with her hand.

Just as the Tang Dynasty was about to smash into the stone pillar in the hall, it managed to catch him.

The appearance of the beautiful figure made everyone present nervous, and they almost all said in unison, "Greetings, President!"

With black hair hanging down her temples and wearing a blue robe and a fox fur shawl, she was of ordinary appearance, but her eyes were as alluring as a fox's.

"what happened?"

President Hu Qingzi leaned over to examine the injured person's condition, her narrow eyes narrowing as she questioned him sharply.

"Reporting to the guild leader! When our fourth caravan was preparing to go on a mission, we happened to run into the third caravan returning. We heard that they had had some accidents, so we inquired about them out of concern. As a result, they became angry and attacked us!" Someone started to accuse the villain.

Fox Qingzi knew the character and strength of the caravans within the Chamber of Commerce well, so he naturally wouldn't just listen to one side of the story.

She subtly flicked the hand that had just supported Tang Chao a few times, her meaningful gaze sweeping across the hall.

The person who severely injured Tang Chao was of unfathomable strength, far surpassing her own; it couldn't have been anyone in the caravan who did it...

Her gaze paused, lingering on the black robe not far away.

It was this person who did it.

Although she couldn't see through the black-robed man's strength at all, she could clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from him.

This person is not someone you should befriend.

"Let's clarify what happened today, or we'll handle it according to the Chamber of Commerce's rules," Hu Qingzi said slowly, shifting his gaze.

Just as Zhao Gui was about to speak angrily at the disgusting face of the person who had filed the complaint, he heard Zhao Wuji's voice in his ear.

"Second brother, you go with the girl first, I'll handle this."

“But…” Zhao Gui said with concern, unconvinced.

"Don't worry, I turned on the recording ball the moment the Tang Dynasty started causing us trouble."

A commemorative sphere is a rare item that can record past scenes and sounds, thus refuting the other party's slander.

"Okay." Zhao Gui nodded. If the president found out that it was the young lady who did it, he might cause trouble. It was better to leave first.

Seeing that Zhao Gui was about to leave, someone shouted that he was acting guilty.

Zhao Wuji snorted coldly: "Whoever is guilty knows it themselves!"

As he spoke, he presented the photographic ball to Hu Qingzi: "The photographic ball can serve as evidence of what happened; it's just that someone was looking for Zhao Gui in a hurry."

Fox Qingzi took the recording ball, glanced casually at the door, and waved his hand: "The heads of the third and fourth caravans, come with me to the meeting room to clarify things. The rest of you, get back to work!"

"Yes."

The crowd accepted the order, abandoning their curiosity and getting busy with their tasks.

Zhao Gui, on the other hand, left the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce with Guan Xun.
