Chapter 1557: Chapter 1554: Get Out?Lin Bai had already discerned that the situation in the Chamber of Commerce, due to Princess Silver Frostâs overbearing actions, not only failed to secure an advantage for Yue Qing but had also gradually pushed many high-level members, who were unwilling to submit, towards Yue Zhengâs side.
"It seems I need to remind Yue Qing," Lin Baiâs Eyes sunk with concern, not allowing the situation to continue expanding unabated.
Lu Ao nodded lightly and said, "Indeed, itâs time to remind Miss Yue Qing."
Lin Bai nodded slightly, and then he covered his mouth with one hand and gave a light cough.
"Ahem."
The faint cough from Lin Bai, though soft, caught the attention of Yue Qing.
"Whatâs wrong?" Yue Qing asked softly.
Lin Bai said, "Donât get tangled up in this any further, hurry and let the high-level members vote. Although Princess Silver Frost has given you a vote, if you let her continue to pressure these high-level members, it might backfire."
"Just look at the expressions on the faces of these high-level members, they may fear Princess Silver Frostâs identity, but inside they are very angry," Lin Bai spoke softly to Yue Qing.
Upon hearing Lin Baiâs reminder, Yue Qing immediately looked around the entire Conference Hall, indeed noticing that many high-level officials had an air of coldness in their expressions; although silent, their eyes carried a hint of displeasure.
"Hmm?" Yue Zheng, originally filled with elation, had already communicated with many high-level officials before, with many of them disapproving or wavering. Now, under the coercion of Silver Frost, Yue Zheng saw several high-level members who initially didnât want to support him as Chairman now all showing displeasure, suggesting a hidden intent to rebel.
This filled Yue Zheng with joy, but at this moment, a soft cough caught his attention.
"This is a high-level meeting of the Silver Moon Commerce Association, why are there irrelevant people present?" Yue Zhengâs Eyes turned cold as he looked towards Lin Bai, who was sitting not far from Yue Qing.
"Get out of here!"
Yue Zheng rose to his feet in anger and spoke with a cold voice.
As soon as Yue Zheng spoke, he immediately drew the attention of all the high-level officials, who turned their gaze towards the young man sitting in that special position not far from Yue Qing.
Even Princess Silver Frost looked over with curiosity at that moment.
After hearing Lin Baiâs reminder, Yue Qing then realized and was about to speak when she heard Yue Zhengâs sudden cold shout, aimed directly at Lin Bai!
"Hmm? Who are these three people?"
"Miss Yue Qing is back, my attention was all on her, and I didnât notice three more people in this corner."
"This is the Conference Hall for the high-level Chamber of Commerce, there is probably no need for other irrelevant people to be here," the high-level members also began to speak out, somewhat displeased.
Asking them to vote, they were hesitant and already oppressed by Silver Frost, holding back a surge of anger in their hearts, and now all directing it at Lin Bai and his company.
"Niece Yue Qing, are these three your friends? Donât they know the rules?" Yue Zheng spoke coldly, "Niece Yue Qing, this is a high-level meeting of the Silver Moon Commerce Association, shouldnât we ask some irrelevant people to leave?"
Yue Zheng said with a cold voice.
Princess Silver Frost looked at Yue Qing, using her gaze to seek her decision.
Yue Qing then softly spoke, "These three indeed are my friends, but they are not just anybody; they are my Life and Death companions!"
"Especially the one sitting there."
"Since uncle has mentioned them, I will introduce them to uncle and the high-level officials of the Silver Moon Commerce Association."
Yue Qing walked over to Lin Baiâs side.
And Lin Bai stood up from his chair with a smile.
Yue Qing approached, hesitated for a moment, then linked her arm with Lin Baiâs. She then addressed everyone present, "This is my husband, named Dongfang Bai. He is the Heaven-reaching Sword Sectâs Junior Sword Venerate!"
Hissââ
When Yue Qing uttered the name "Heaven-reaching Sword Sectâs Junior Sword Master, Dongfang Bai," a clearly audible sound of the high-level attendees sharply inhaling could be heard throughout the room.
If offending the Princess Silver Frost of the Linhai Dynasty was something the high-level figures present couldnât afford to do,
Then they couldnât afford to offend the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect even more!
"What!" Yue Zhengâs eyes bulged, looking at Lin Bai with a face full of disbelief. "Niece Yue Qing, what did you just say? He is Dongfang Bai? And also your husband?"
Yue Huaâs eyes were also extremely wide. He had already known about Dongfang Bai and was curious why Dongfang Bai was in Yue Qingâs team. Now with Yue Qing revealing her relationship with Dongfang Bai, Yue Hua finally grasped the full picture.
"Yue Qing, what is all this about?" Princess Silver Frostâs face was also full of incredulity, as she came beside Yue Qing and asked urgently.
Her face was quite anxious, as if she found it very hard to accept this news.
Yue Qing spoke softly, "Silver Frost, I will explain the details of the matter to you later."
Upon hearing this, Silver Frost did not persist with her questioning, but when she returned to her seat, her gaze lingered on Lin Bai for an extra moment.
And when Silver Frost looked his way, Lin Bai felt a murderous intent from her.
"Strange? Why would Silver Frost harbor killing intent towards me?" Lin Bai said, puzzled.
Silver Frost and Yue Qing were as close as sisters. Logically, even if Silver Frost didnât know the marriage between Lin Bai and Yue Qing was pretense, she should have congratulated her good sister for finding a desirable husband.
Where did this killing intent come from?
Startled for a moment, Lin Bai stepped forward, cupped his fist towards the crowd, and said, "I am Dongfang Bai, and I greet the high-ranking members of the Silver Moon Commerce Association."
Following Lin Baiâs greetings, all the high-level elders of the Silver Moon Commerce Association stood up, chuckling and saying, "Haha, Sword Master Dongfang Bai is too modest. It is we who should pay respect to the Junior Sword Venerate."
"Each Sword Cultivator from Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is outstanding among their peers. Seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved."
"The Junior Sword Master from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is truly an exceptional figure."
"For our Silver Moon Commerce Association to become in-laws with the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, that is indeed an extraordinary fortune."
Apart from Yue Zheng and Yue Hua, all the high-level elders in the Great Hall stood and spoke to Lin Bai with smiles.
Lin Bai gave a slight smile, returned the gestures, and then turned his gaze towards Yue Zheng.
"As the husband of Qingâer and son-in-law of the Silver Moon Commerce Association, do you still think I am a nobody, Deputy Chairman Yue Zheng?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
Yue Zhengâs face darkened with a menacing look, as if dealing with Princess Silver Frost wasnât enough, now they had the added complication of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master making his predicament even worse.
Being the son-in-law of Silver Moon Commerce Association was not important. What mattered was the reputation as Junior Sword Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!
"You claim you are Dongfang Bai, but does that make it true? Could it not be a deception?" Yue Zheng said, somewhat stubbornly.
"Heh!" Lin Bai frowned and let out a bitter chuckle.
Immediately, Lin Bai reached into his Storage Bag and pulled out a Multicolored Robe, draping it over himself.
"This Five-Color Disciple Robe, exclusively worn by the Junior Sword Master of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, could this not prove my identity?" After putting on the Multicolored Robe, Lin Bai turned to Yue Zheng and spoke.
Upon seeing this Multicolored Robe, Yue Zhengâs pupils constricted sharply, his mind reeling in shock.
The Five-Color Disciple Robe, uniquely belonging to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master, was renowned throughout the Lingnan Continent, and outsiders wouldnât dare to recreate it!
