"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."Mao Ya suppressed his thoughts and spoke in a loud voice. Who would have thought that the elegant and clean female cultivator opposite him would speak up at this moment, "Fellow Daoist Mao, this matter needs to be confirmed. Don't just listen to Fellow Daoist Yang's one-sided statement and make a hasty decision." “Don’t be offended, Fellow Daoist Yang. This matter is of great importance. Elder Wu is at the peak of foundation building and has many friends. If I make a hasty decision, I’m afraid his friends will not accept it.” What he said was reasonable and well-organized, but it was a pity that he took into account every aspect except Mao Ya's emotions. When Mao Ya heard the simple and clean female cultivator interrupt her, she kept silent. When she started to speak, she frowned. When she said that the matter was of great importance and required caution, she interrupted her directly. "Mushan, that's enough!" "I know Brother Yang better than you do. He will never lie to me." "Even if Mr. Wu has a wide range of friends, can he have more than Xinggong? Can he be more powerful than the island master?" He spoke these words quickly and harshly, and it was obvious that he was annoyed that this female cultivator had lost his face.

"Mao Ya, you..." That female cultivator was also a chosen one of heaven. She was afraid that she would break if she held it in her hands, and afraid that it would melt if she held it in her mouth. As a female cultivator from a big family who had been in the foundation-building stage of cultivation smoothly all the way, she naturally had her own pride. Although she had some good feelings towards Mao Ya, she would not allow Mao Ya to lose her face like this. Besides, she, Xue Mushan, was a very opinionated female cultivator. Now that she had successfully built her foundation, she became even more arrogant. She was a little annoyed at the moment. Mao Ya also knew that he had said the wrong thing and he couldn't control his emotions for a moment, but he immediately practiced his skills and his anxious emotions were slowly suppressed. His upright spirit remained and he truly had the feeling of a Confucian gentleman. "Brother Yang, I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. I apologize to you now." "Mu Shan, I was a little impatient just now, but I have to tell you that my master is also very optimistic about Brother Yang, and even commented that he has the potential to form a golden core." "Brother Yang and I have known each other for more than 20 years. I have seen how devoted he is to his cultivation. I have also heard about Elder Wu. He has reached the peak of foundation building, but he is doing favors everywhere. You must know that there is no free lunch in the world. Mu Shan, do you understand what I am saying?" He spoke sincerely, and at the end he bowed slightly towards Xue Mushan. After Yi Jue saw that his skill was activated, the magic attraction he exerted was temporarily suppressed. Yi Jue sighed slightly. This Mingde Song Jue, which had been practiced for decades, had its extraordinary aspects. The Confucian method of cultivating a righteous spirit can indeed ward off evil if practiced to a high level. If one practices to the peak of foundation building, one may actually be able to discover this demonic attraction. Yi Jue waved his hand and showed that he didn't care much, while Xue Mushan, who was about to stand up and leave, was moved by his words. Mao Ya's attitude and appearance also accounted for a large part of the reason. He was originally in an annoyed mood, but the scene before him softened his heart and he sat back down. "You don't have to do this, my friend. Since you have made the decision on this matter, I have been a lowly person in vain." Although he had softened his heart, he still didn't let go of his words. Mao Ya knew his attitude, it was just that he couldn't hide it, so he said to Yi Jue. "Brother Yang, what do you think of this matter?" "I will make this matter public, and then arrange for you to take up a sinecure on Weixing Island. This way, I can use the credibility of Weixing Island to support you, but there is no clear conclusion yet." "I will supervise this matter, and the relevant investigators from Weixing Island will give you an explanation after they have collected evidence." "I have a lot of vacancies here, you can choose any one, Brother Yang, what do you think?" Yi Jue naturally knew that this position was an explanation for the responsibility he had just taken on.

"Thank you, Brother Mao!" Then, Mao Ya took out a catalogue, which recorded many positions, whether they were civil servants or managers, and even some positions of worship and patrolling power on the island, all of which were marked. Yi Jue saw a position, which was the person in charge selected by Lingdi. This position was considered to be powerful. From this, he knew that Mao Ya had really taken the trouble and his intention to make friends was real. Xue Mushan felt much more comfortable watching the way Mao Ya handled things. He also helped to come up with ideas and suggested to Yi Jue which positions were less busy and which ones had higher salaries. Yi Jue saw a position called the head of the Bi Hai Chamber of Commerce, so he asked a question. "Brother Mao, isn't the Bihai Chamber of Commerce a chamber of commerce? How come this matter is also considered a public official position on Weixing Island?" When the two of them were introducing themselves just now, they both intentionally or unintentionally skipped over this part. When Xue Mushan heard Yi Jue's question, he immediately turned his gaze towards Mao Ya, obviously not knowing the truth either. Mao Ya's expression struggled for a moment, and Yi Jue felt that the evil in Mao Ya's body was slowly aroused again. It was obvious that his emotions had been disturbed, and he was no longer as calm and righteous as before. "There's nothing wrong with talking about it. This Chamber of Commerce is the private power of the previous island owner. Although most of the Chamber of Commerce on the island is monopolized by the Zhantai family's Chamber of Commerce, if this Chamber of Commerce is swallowed up by the Zhantai Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid it will be criticized." "So, Master means that this Chamber of Commerce should be handed over to the public and incorporated into the public service system." After hearing this, both of them understood. No wonder Mao Ya looked a little struggling. The Bi Hai Chamber of Commerce was also a fairly large chamber of commerce. If it was allowed to develop, it would have a certain impact on the Zhan Tai family's chamber of commerce. Now is a good opportunity, but if we annex it directly, the island owner will be suspected of abusing his power for personal gain. Therefore, by transferring it from one hand to the other and keeping it in his own hands, he can be regarded as a family member of the Zhantai family. After all, when the island owner is the head of the Zhan Tai family, how could the public officials on the island dare to really compete with the Zhan Tai Chamber of Commerce? It is nothing more than a frog in boiling water, nibbling away at them step by step. In the eyes of outsiders, this became normal business competition. If the Chamber of Commerce run by the public officials of Weixing Island was not doing well, it would be acceptable to sell it to the Zhan Tai family. Who would remember that this was the asset of the previous island owner? Yi Jue suddenly thought of something and said to Mao Ya. "I wonder if the position of the head of this chamber of commerce can be handed over to me as you promised." Mao Ya said, "You are already highly regarded by my master, so a mere chamber of commerce is not a problem." Yi Jue also took a scroll from Mao Ya. The scroll was already stamped with the seal of the island owner. After Yi Jue filled in his own name, he sealed the scroll and placed it on the scroll at Mao Ya. Yi Jue's name naturally appeared on the scroll. "Okay, this matter is settled. When my master comes out of retreat, I can tell him about this matter." (End of this chapter)
