Master Ye looked at his grandson, and there was still some discomfort in his heart. Although his grandson was not very competitive, that was his own flesh and blood! To be beaten like this, it was really hard to accept even though he hated him very much. However, in front of so many people, even if he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he had to pretend as if he didn't care. He could only pretend not to see.
Master Zhang smiled and said to Mo Wenjie, "Mr. Mo, regarding the affairs of the Yundu City Alchemy Association, you are in charge. As for who you want to manage it, that is your decision. We will not interfere. My only request for the Yundu City Alchemy Association is that, under equal conditions, people from Yundu City should be given priority!"
Hearing this, Mo Wenjie looked at Master Zhang, "Great City Lord, you still don't understand what I mean? Since I took over as the president of the Alchemy Association, I have informed everyone that for anyone from Yundu City, purchasing elixirs will be offered an 80% discount. Is this discount not sufficient?"
Master Zhang laughed heartily upon hearing this. "How could I say it's not enough? We're all in the same family. Of course, I hope you can give greater discounts to the people of Yundu City. After all, as the City Lord, I must consider the welfare of all the citizens of the city, and fighting for some benefits for everyone is what's appropriate!"
Hearing this, Mo Wenjie nodded in agreement, "Great City Lord, what you are doing is perfectly fine. As long as it is for the common good, there is nothing wrong with it. I will definitely not let you down. Please be assured that I will also distribute more benefits to the people of Yundu City. Let's work together to supervise each other. I Mo Wenjie always keep my words, and hope everyone will support me! After all, we are not here just to play. I have no mood to play at all. The reason why I let them four people manage the Alchemy Association is because I need to brew elixirs. There really isn't enough time and energy for me to manage the Alchemy Association myself." Of course, they four people will definitely do as I say and bring unexpected surprises to everyone from Yundu City!
Master Zhang laughed heartily upon hearing this. "President Mo is indeed President Mo. This is the good fortune of the people of Yundu City. As the City Lord of Yundu City, I thank you on behalf of everyone!"
Master Ye looked at Mr. Mo and Master Zhang. He felt some indescribable discomfort in his heart. How could Master Zhang be so lucky? He was able to enlist the help of such a talented person like Mr. Mo. After all these years, his little brother was finally going to turn the tide. It was really unexpected that Master Zhang, as a result of Mr. Mo Wenjie, would become the big brother in the Taohuang realm! How could this not happen to me? This is simply too envious and jealous! How dare he have such good fortune? I cannot let this happen without a fight! I must inform Emperor Huang Zengtian of Taohuang and have him intervene in this matter. A talent like Mr. Mo should belong to the entire Taohuang realm, not just Yundu City. If other city lords find out about this, they will certainly not be happy!
Master Zhang watched Master Ye for a long time without speaking, and he asked without any politeness, "I say, Master Ye City Lord, you're still here and haven't left yet. Is there anything else? Do you want to resign your position as City Lord to come and mix with President Mo in Yundu City? Don't even think about it. You don't know how busy President Mo is; he spends his days making elixirs for the people of Yundu City. We are all very grateful to him. As for you wanting to live in Yundu City and enjoy its benefits, that's simply impossible. I say, Master Ye, don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Master Ye was so angry that he was blowing his whiskers and glaring with eyes wide open. Mr. Zhang, what's there to be proud of? Isn't it because of President Mo that you have the level of a senior alchemist? If it wasn't for President Mo, you're nothing but a worthless person! With your self-important attitude, I'm going to tell you something now. This incident won't just end here. Do you enjoy showing off? I'll make you cry secretly!
Master Zhang looked at Mr. Mo Wenjie after hearing this, "It seems that Master Ye is now jealous, envious and hateful. That's useless. Who can blame me, Old Zhang, for having good luck? President Mo flying up here, right in our Yundu City - this is destiny! You want to have a talent like President Mo, but you don't have the destiny. Can you blame anyone else? This only proves one thing: you've been burning incense at the backside of the mighty ones every day, right? That's understandable. It's not your fault and you don't need to feel ashamed or want to commit suicide. After all, it's not your fault; it's just that the gods are displeased with you. You had some strength and tried to bully others, finally facing your karma, right? Now do you understand how much humiliation there is? Be more modest in the future; only then will the gods notice you." "Seeing how I've been bullied by you all these years without saying a word or complaining about anything, I've truly devoted my best efforts and suffered in silence. Finally, my efforts paid off when the gods were moved by them and allowed President Mo to ascend here!"
Master Ye nearly spat blood from anger upon hearing this, "I say, Mr. Zhang, what gives you the arrogance? It's not because of President Mo that your power has increased, is it? What's there to show off about? Is that your own ability? Raising your own strength by relying on the elixirs of President Mo, do you feel justified in being so smug? I'll tell you this, if I buy advanced elixirs, I'll still be at your beck and call. Do you really think that just because you have advanced elixirs, you're superior to others? We're not poor; don't get too complacent. This matter is not over between us; just wait and see. I'm going to discuss it with Emperor Huang Zengtian of Taohuang. How can you have such a talent as President Mo all to yourself? President Mo must be the president of the Alchemy Central Association of the Taohuang realm! By then, I'll see how you can strut around!
Master Zhang looked at Master Ye and said, "You, Mr. Ye, are truly beneath contempt. Envy others because they have such good fortune? You're a petty person. I even feel embarrassed for you. As a city lord, how can you be so different from a petty person?"
Master Ye laughed heartily upon hearing this, "I say, Mr. Zhang, you're really naive. I'll tell you the truth: good things should be shared. Of course, with a talent like President Mo, it's even more important to share. Do you understand what I mean? If you don't understand that, there's nothing more to say!"
Master Zhang responded directly to Master Ye with a "I spit on you, Mr. Ye." He said, "When you guys had advanced elixirs that boosted your power, why didn't you share them with me? Back then, each of you kept your distance and were afraid I would ask to buy elixirs from you. Now that Yundu City has President Mo, you're out of balance and want Emperor Huang Zengtian to come pressurize me. Can't you all at least have a bit of dignity?"
Master Ye shook his head and said, "I say, Mr. Zhang, you've been alive for thousands of years, but why is it that you're still growing old but not growing wiser? What do you mean by 'face'? As long as you have strength, people will always give you face wherever you are or whatever place you are in. If you don't have strength, even if you're in front of your own family, you won't have any face. How can you be proud to be the city lord of Yundu City when you don't understand such a simple truth? I advise you to resign early and stop making a fool of yourself!"
Master Zhang was amused by Master Ye's direct anger and said, "I truly admire your boldness. With your bandit-like logic, do you really dare to go and argue with Emperor Huang Zengtian? Don't you fear that Emperor Huang Zengtian will charge you with unwarranted disturbance? Do you really think that Emperor Huang Zengtian will listen to whatever you say? You and your city lords in the past were more respected in front of Emperor Huang Zengtian and received more resources than me. This is because your strength was greater than mine. I couldn't help but be jealous; it wasn't fair. I also asked Emperor Huang Zengtian why he couldn't give me enough training resources. Do you know what he said to me?"
Master Ye looked at Master Zhang and asked, "So, what did Emperor Huang Zengtian say to you?"
Master Zhang shook his head and said, "Emperor Huang Zengtian told me that the principle of survival of the fittest never changes. If you want others to respect you and get more training resources, you need to become stronger. As soon as your strength improves, others will respect you, and training resources will be given to you more and more. Many places will need you because of your strength, so they will give you many advantages. I hope now you understand the principle." "If you want to go and complain to Emperor Huang Zengtian, I won't stop you. If you want to make trouble, that's your own business; it has nothing to do with me. If you want to threaten me, you also need the strength to back it up. You guys can stay here; I don't care if you starve!"
Master Ye was so angry that he was furious upon hearing this. "Mr. Zhang, you're being a petty person now, and you should just wait. Once I surpass you one day, I'll see how you can strut around!"
Master Zhang laughed heartily upon hearing this, "I say, Mr. Ye, don't you realize that you're being foolish? With the elixirs provided by President Mo, how do you think you have a chance to surpass me? I advise you to be more realistic. Don't you think there are others who are also improving their strength? Am I standing still here? When will you surpass me and then I will continue to work hard? I really admire your confidence; only then will you say that you have surpassed me!"
Master Ye was so angry that he wanted to swear, ordering his subordinates to bring Mr. Sun and Sir Season Guard, "Let's leave this Yundu City! With all the people of Xingluo City, we're leaving!"
Master Zhang couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart as he watched Master Ye and his men leave. It was the first time in many years, and how could he not be happy? It was finally time to hold his head high and take a breath of fresh air, and the feeling was truly wonderful! It seems that being strong really makes a difference. Before, he used to follow others around, letting them mock him without daring to argue. Now it's different; Master Zhang has also held his head high. From now on, he no longer has to do things according to others' faces; others will have to do things according to his face. That's the reality, and it really feels particularly satisfying!
Liang Master hurriedly shook his head and bowed respectfully, "Master Ye, the messenger of His Imperial Majesty Taohuang Huang Zengtian has sent a message for you to bring President Mo Wenjie to attend the audience!"
