Chapter 8 Mi Zhu's Business

Chapter 8 Mi Zhu's Business
The death of the Pope is a big event. No matter whether it is the various principalities on the continent or the two empires of Tiandouxingluo, no matter how delicate the relationship with the Spirit Hall is, they will always send an envoy to express condolences.

The prince of Tiandou Empire can only represent the empire to attend some important occasions after awakening his martial spirit.

Currently, only the eldest prince and the second prince of the Tiandou Empire have awakened their martial spirits. In order to show their importance, the two princes of the Tiandou Empire all went to the Wuhun City to pay their respects.

And under Xue Qinghe's arrangement, Qian Renxue used the angel soul bone to disguise herself as an entourage.

After walking for a whole day, the Tiandou Empire's condolence delegation finally arrived at Wuhun Mountain, where the Wuhun Hall is located.

At this time, everyone in Wuhun Mountain was immersed in sorrow, and all the people in Wuhun Hall were dressed in mourning clothes, and Wuhun City was hung with white cloth everywhere.

Qian Renxue, who was accompanying them, had tears in her eyes because of the effect of the puppet powder, the only part of her body that was free was her eyes.

Before, Qian Renxue still had a trace of suspicion, thinking that Xue Qinghe was deceiving her, but along the way, Qian Renxue became more and more afraid, and the doubts in her heart became smaller and smaller.

By the time she arrived at Wuhun City, Qian Renxue was completely desperate.

The entire Wuhun City is in such a state, it can't be fake, my father is really dead.

"Tang Hao..."

Qian Renxue roared in her heart.

The entire funeral was carried out according to a fixed procedure.

Each delegation came forward to pay their respects, burn incense and pay tribute to Qianxunji.

Because Qian Renxue was not there, the family's return gift was given to Bibi Dong.

This was also the first time Xue Qinghe saw Bibi Dong.

Even in plain clothes and without any makeup, Bibi Dong still looks stunning.

My sister said purple is the most charming color, but I don’t think so.

Pink curly hair and pink eyes, equally charming.

When Xue Qinghe was observing Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong also turned her gaze to Xue Qinghe, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"This is a sick woman!"

Bibi Dong who accepted the test of Rakshasa God was no longer the pure girl, or in other words, after being tested by Qianxunji, the previous Bibi Dong died.

At the same time, in the worship hall at the top of Wuhun Mountain, two men who looked somewhat similar were watching every move of Wuhun City below.

When the two men noticed Xue Qinghe, one of them exclaimed, "Brother, the young master is worthy of being the young master. He has completely integrated the angel soul bone in such a short time. Even I can't tell that this disguise is fake."

"What a pity... The High Priest still chose to support that woman Bibi Dong to succeed the Pope..." said another person.

"I don't know what the High Priest was thinking. How could he allow that crazy woman to succeed the Pope? This move by the High Priest is really incomprehensible."

"Demon subdueer, be careful with your words! Be alert, our duty now is to prevent people from the Haotian Sect from causing trouble."

The two people in the worship hall at this time were the Spirit Hall's sixth worshiper Qianjun Douluo and the seventh worshiper Jiangmo Douluo.

The other priests were either in seclusion or out on business, and the only two of them were guarding the Spirit Hall at the moment.

After the Tiandou Empire, it was the Xingluo Empire's condolence delegation, led by the Xingluo Empire's eldest prince Davis and Zhu Zhuyun. It must be said that the Zhu family has good genes. Zhu Zhuyun is only eight or nine years old, but her figure has already grown and is well-proportioned.

Just as Xue Qinghe was admiring Zhu Zhuyun's figure, Mi Zhu came to report in a low voice.

"I greet your Highness."

"Hmm? Zi Zhong, you are also in Wuhun City?"

"Your Highness, not only my subordinates, but Lord Xuande is also in Wuhun City taking care of business right now." Mi Zhu said respectfully.

Having said that, the two of them walked out.

"Mi Zhu, you have actually expanded your business to Wuhun City, that's great."

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your Highness!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Xue Qinghe was puzzled.

Mi Zhu continued: "Your Highness once said that the Spirit Hall Pope Qianxunji will not live long, and Bibi Dong will be the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Now everything has come true!"

"After discussing with Lord Xuande, I realized that this was a business opportunity, so our Chamber of Commerce purchased paper money, mourning clothes, incense, wreaths and other funeral supplies in advance, and has already implemented a monopoly on these funeral supplies. Now that the Pope of the Spirit Hall has passed away, we will sell them at a high price, making a huge profit!"

Xue Qinghe: "..."

Mi Zhu became more talkative after making money: "Your Highness, this is because the Pope passed away. The whole continent is in mourning. Spirit Halls across the continent are holding funerals. Currently, these funeral items are selling like hot cakes. If it were a monarch of a principality who passed away, it might not have such an effect."

When Tiandou Chamber of Commerce makes money, it is equivalent to making money for himself. Xue Qinghe has no reason to be unhappy. The money of the dead is also money.

Mi Zhu asked again: "Your Highness, now that the Pope has passed away, it is closely related to Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect. Everyone predicts that there will be a war between the Spirit Hall and the Haotian Sect. The Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire may also go to war again. So I would like to ask Your Highness, will this war break out?"

Xue Qinghe would naturally tell the truth to his 100% loyal people: "There's no chance of a fight."

"It will probably take more than ten years before the fight begins," Xue Qinghe added.

"Your Highness is sure?"

"Sure!"

"Hiss~ Could it be that Your Highness also has the ability to observe the stars at night?!"

"If it is really as Your Highness said, then I will definitely ask Lord Xuande to start purchasing strategic materials from abroad."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe was even more puzzled: "Mi Zhu, I said they can't fight."

"I know, Your Highness." Mi Zhu explained, "Your Highness, because of the monopoly on funeral supplies, many people have focused their attention on us. If we don't purchase strategic supplies, other chambers of commerce will hesitate. On the contrary, if we also start to frantically purchase strategic supplies, the rumors of a war will become even more crazy, and all chambers of commerce will rush to buy strategic supplies, and the price of strategic supplies will continue to rise."

"What we need to do is to buy up strategic materials on a large scale, and then quietly sell them to small retail investors. Since the prices of strategic materials are high anyway, we can buy them at a low price one day and sell them at a high price the next day, and we can just make the difference every day."

“When everyone finds out that the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, as well as the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, will not go to war, we won’t be able to store much supplies. On the contrary, those other chambers of commerce that have been frantically purchasing strategic supplies at high prices will be trapped. When there is no war, no one will buy their goods, and all of them will be trapped to death!”

"Hiss~ a profiteer! But I like him." Xue Qinghe stared at Mi Zhu who was reporting on the side and commented from the bottom of his heart.
