Chapter 2904
Public and Private Matters are Separate
Lu Xue said, "City Lord Lin, our Lu Feng rchant Guild would like to establish a branch in your city. What do you think?"
Lin Moyu raised an eyebrow. The Lu Feng rchant Guild wouldn’t casually establish a branch in just any city.
If they set up a branch, it would an that the Lu Feng rchant Guild acknowledges the city and its power.
Whether in the East Continent or the South Continent, only a few major cities have branches of the Lu Feng rchant Guild.
In smaller cities, there are only regional guilds, and a top-tier guild like the Lu Feng rchant Guild wouldn’t appear.
Now, the Lu Feng rchant Guild wants to establish a branch in Yudao City, which ans they acknowledge Yudao City.
But Lin Moyu knew what Yudao City was like; it couldn’t compare to those major cities.
In other words, the Lu Feng rchant Guild wasn’t coming for Yudao City but for him.
Lin Moyu instantly understood why. The Three Ancestors saw value in him, so they were willing to invest.
If the investnt succeeded, that would be great; if it failed, there wouldn’t be much loss.
The Three Ancestors had likely made countless such investnts.
Once he accepted the Lu Feng rchant Guild’s proposal to establish a branch, Yudao City would be exposed to the world.
But Yudao City was still too weak, not strong enough in any aspect.
Normally, it wasn’t the right ti!
Lin Moyu looked at the Human Emperor, "In our plan, how long until Yudao City contacts the outside world?"
The Human Emperor said, "About another two hundred years."
Lu Xue asked, "Another hundred years?"
Lu Fengqing also said, "Why another hundred years? Our guild entering your Yudao City is an opportunity."
Lin Moyu remained unmoved, "Let think about it."
A hundred years was just a number the Human Emperor casually ntioned.
On the surface, Lin Moyu seed to be asking the Human Emperor, but in the rule world, they were communicating.
Their surface conversation was a performance.
Lin Moyu’s consciousness was also communicating with the Human Emperor.
In their original plan, Yudao City needed to have Dao Sovereigns, and not just one.
Only then, when Yudao City erged, could it have so control and be relatively safe.
If it was too weak, a single Dao Sovereign could destroy Yudao City upon contact with the outside world.
That was the initial situation, but now things had changed.
Although Haotian Zun and others hadn’t beco Dao Sovereigns, the Human Emperor had transford into a Dao Sovereign, and a Sixth Realm one at that, just without a true body of the Great Dao.
The Human Emperor’s increased power ant he could control all of Yudao City.
This situation was sowhat similar to the Lu Feng rchant Guild’s mall, where they didn’t need their people to act; if there was any trouble, Lu Lian could handle it.
So now, letting Yudao City contact the outside world wasn’t impossible.
Once Yudao City opened, its cultivators could interact with outsiders and travel outside.
Lu Fengqing, seeing Lin Moyu silent, grew impatient, "Can you give a straightforward answer? When did you beco so indecisive?"
Lin Moyu chuckled, "Elder Lu, this isn’t a small matter; I need to think it through."
He then turned to Lu Xue, "Miss Lu Xue, I have a few questions."
Lu Xue said, "Please go ahead, City Lord Lin."
Lin Moyu asked, "How long would it take your guild to establish a branch?"
Lu Xue replied, "It depends on how much land City Lord Lin gives us. Normally, it would take about half a month to build the buildings, followed by Elder Lu setting up the formations."
"Based on Elder Lu’s usual speed, it would take about half a year."
Lin Moyu pondered, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
In reality, he was discussing with the Human Emperor in the rule world.
After so discussion, they reached a decision.
Opening Yudao City had advantages and disadvantages, but overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
Flowers in a greenhouse are nice, but they can’t withstand wind and snow, lacking the vitality of wildflowers.
Even if they cultivated many talents in the sealed Yudao City, they would eventually have to be placed on the Origin Continent.
So why not let them enter the Origin Continent early and experience the storms?
If they were truly talented, no storm could crush them.
In the past, the human race in the Great World faced difficulties, yet talents still erged despite being surrounded by hundreds of races!
After a mont of thought, Lin Moyu said, "In that case, I’ll trouble Miss Lu Xue and Elder Fengqing."
"The specific location of the guild can be discussed with the Human Emperor."
Seeing Lin Moyu agree, Lu Xue’s face lit up with a bright smile, "Thank you, City Lord Lin."
She had co with a mission, and if Lin Moyu didn’t agree, she would have failed.
If Lin Moyu agreed, she would be in charge of the branch here.
Being independently responsible for a branch would greatly enhance her status in the family.
So whether Lin Moyu agreed was very important to her.
She even thought Lin Moyu might propose so harsh conditions, but he agreed without saying anything.
Lu Fengqing frowned, "City Lord Lin, there might be things Miss Lu Xue didn’t explain clearly. Our branch needs so special rights."
Lin Moyu said, "No problem, let Miss Lu Xue discuss it with the Human Emperor. As long as it’s not excessive, it can be discussed."
Lu Fengqing said, "As a city lord, don’t you handle anything?"
Lin Moyu replied, "I have my own matters to attend to. Elder Lu, are you speaking on behalf of the Lu Feng rchant Guild or personally?"
Lu Fengqing raised an eyebrow, "What’s the difference?"
Lin Moyu said, "Public matters are public, and private matters are private. Previously, you represented the guild, so we handled business without considering personal relationships."
"If you’re speaking personally, you’re my senior, and that’s different."
Lu Fengqing blew his beard, "You people think too much, your minds are complicated."
Lin Moyu smiled without responding.
He knew Lu Fengqing had a simple mind, sowhat stubborn and mad.
Though not stupid, his intelligence was focused on cultivation and formations, lacking in other areas.
That’s why people called him Lu Madman.
Lu Xue had already gone to discuss with the Human Emperor; she was the main character this ti.
Lu Fengqing was here to set up formations; the decisions were all in Lu Xue’s hands.
But Lu Fengqing was an elder, so Lu Xue respected him.
Lin Moyu slowly stood up and walked outside the hall, "Senior, let’s talk about personal matters now. I heard you’re interested in my Heavenly Thunder Fire Array."
Lin Moyu shifted the topic to formations.
Talking about formations, Lu Fengqing imdiately perked up, "Is it true that you set up this array group in a year?"
He looked incredulous, clearly not believing Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu didn’t explain, "Co, I’ll show you. I also want to modify the formation!"
