Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Newspaper_1Su Bei gently lifted his eyebrows, his expression playfully observing the scene before him. The red gauze fluttered lightly, spreading gently to either side. Indeed, just like Wenren Pingxin! Not wearing anything! Seeing the fiery gaze in Su Bei’s eyes, Yu Hongxiu realized her momentary lapse, but instead of reacting, she smiled even more seductively, "Do you like what you see?" "I do," replied Su Bei without a second thought. "Do you want to see something even more appealing?" Yu Hongxiu exhaled softly like an orchid, her beautiful eyes swirling as she giggled, though a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. Su Bei sighed softly, inconspicuously glancing at Yu Hongxiu’s legs. Since she was tied with a red silk belt at the waist, he could not see what he wanted and said dispassionately, "Not interested." Yu Hongxiu narrowed her eyes, sat back cross-legged on the bed, put on a long robe, and tightened it. Seeing Yu Hongxiu seemed to have lost the desire to tease, Su Bei casually picked up a cup of tea and began, "The Star Moon Sect is constrained." "Of course, it’s not just the Star Moon Sect. In fact, the other sects are also limited to one place." "You all make too clear a distinction between the Cultivation World and the Mortal World." "What’s the difference between doing business with cultivators and with mortals?" Yu Hongxiu shook her head and said, "I can probably guess what Elder Su means, but have you ever considered how numerous the affairs of the Mortal World are?" "Collecting information from the Cultivation World already requires a vast amount of resources. How could we possibly go out of our way to gather such meaningless matters for mortals?" "Even if we did collect it, how much could we sell it for?" Su Bei smiled, gently feeling the Qingping Sword, savoring the sharpness of the blade, and said, "That’s why I say you are all too confined." "Why go out of your way to gather information from the Mortal World?" "In recent days, while in Mo City, I found that the common people are extremely responsive to the upcoming grand opening ceremony of the various great sects. There are all kinds of rumors in the taverns, and even bets being made." "It’s clear to see that even though the common folk do not normally encounter matters of cultivation, they are still very interested in these things." "So why not compile various pieces of information from the Cultivation World into a booklet which could then be distributed by the outer disciples of the sects?" "I call this booklet the ’newspaper’!" As Su Bei narrated, Yu Hongxiu’s expression grew more serious. She seemed to suddenly grasp something and stared intently at Su Bei. "Headmistress Yu, you should not underestimate the purchasing power of these mortals. How vast are the Twenty-One Provinces?" "There are billions of mortals alone, and how many interesting stories are there in the entire Cultivation World?" "For instance, no matter how much the people of Dongfeng Ancient Country know, unless someone from the South Wind Ancient Country brings the news over, they will never learn what happened in the South Wind Empire!" "The same principle applies to other ancient countries." Listening to Su Bei’s smooth talk, Yu Hongxiu suddenly stood up, her brows tightly knotted, contemplating all the possibilities. Then, as if realizing something, she sighed deeply, eyes gazing profoundly at Su Bei, and whispered, "Elder Su’s proposal is absolutely astonishing. The only issue is... the ’newspaper’ is too easy to implement." "If the Star Moon Sect collaborated with the Sword Sect, in no more than a week’s time, the other sects would replicate everything perfectly!" "Our ’newspaper’ wouldn’t be unique and thus couldn’t monopolize the market of the whole Twenty-One Provinces!" "I wonder if Elder Su has any solutions?" It was only now that Yu Hongxiu truly took Su Bei seriously. Before, she had only found this man interesting at most. This person is dangerous! There are many in this world with cultivation, but in my eyes, the threat of ten Refining Void cultivators couldn’t match that of the man before me, who appears to only be at the Divinity Transformation stage! From his sparse remarks, one could deduce a principle: this astounding proposal was merely an idea he picked up on his way to Mo City, inspired by the chattering of the common folk! Yu Hongxiu was certain that once Su Bei’s plan was implemented, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar throughout the entirety of the Twenty-One Provinces. How numerous were the mortals in the Twenty-One Provinces? The profits brought about would far exceed the tens of millions of Gold mentioned by Su Bei. Su Bei’s eyes narrowed as he said, "This is precisely where my Sword Sect and the Star Moon Sect need to collaborate!" "Even though the whole Twenty-One Provinces is a huge plate to share, even if other Sects follow suit and take their share, there would still be a great deal of profit to make!" "But that’s not all." After pausing, Su Bei looked at Yu Hongxiu, fidgeting with the teacup in his hand, and remained silent. The grand vision he had painted was in place. How much of it she was willing to bite off would depend on Yu Hongxiu’s attitude. Yu Hongxiu sighed, her eyes narrowing as she gently sat down on the bed and said softly, "Elder Su, please speak frankly, what does the Sword Sect want?" "My Star Moon Sect is willing to collaborate with the Sword Sect." Su Bei rose to his feet, hands clasped behind his back, ignoring everything before him, and said, "Headmistress Yu should be aware that my proposal, no matter which Sect it partners with, would be agreed to, as long as that Sect is not a fool." "So, what kind of sincerity can the Star Moon Sect offer?" Yu Hongxiu’s expression was complex. What Su Bei had said was true, and to be honest, she was tempted. At one point, she even felt the impulse to kill him on the spot! After a moment of silence, Yu Hongxiu pursed her lips and said, "I do not know what Elder Su has in mind next, but if possible, my Star Moon Sect is willing to ’deeply’ collaborate with the Sword Sect!" "Elder Su must be aware of the governance system of the United Sects Council of the Twenty-One Provinces." "If the Star Moon Sect deeply collaborates with the Sword Sect, it will greatly increase our say in the council meetings!" "The role of Decision-Making Sect for the Twenty-One Provinces changes once every century, and to become the Decision-Making Sect means that for a hundred years, the resources of the Twenty-One Provinces will be heavily skewed in our favor, and we even have a veto power!" At this point, Su Bei was somewhat bewildered. To be honest, his initial goal was simply to bring the Sword Sect Disciples back and to ask the Star Moon Sect for a million Gold to hold the Sword Sect’s recruitment event. But why did the plot seem to be veering away from his expectations? Was it getting out of control? He had already boasted extravagantly, claiming he could represent the Sword Sect in full authority. But... although both the Sword Sect and the Star Moon Sect were esteemed as 985 Sects, to the world, the Star Moon Sect has always been seen as a representative of the Demon Sect. While the Sword Sect might be the least ranked, it was at least considered an Orthodox Sect. Would this be considered colluding with the wicked? But things had already progressed to this point. Su Bei looked at Yu Hongxiu with a ’calm’ face and said, "It is possible." Yu Hongxiu stared intently at Su Bei’s face without speaking, and then seriously said, "Does Elder Su realize the huge waves our two Sects’ deep collaboration would cause in the Twenty-One Provinces?" How could Su Bei not know? So Su Bei was very upset. But he felt that he couldn’t go back on his word and let this woman see through him, so he sighed and said, "What does it matter whether it’s Orthodox or Demon? They are but prejudices of the world!" "I have great admiration for Headmistress Yu, for being able to hold up the sky for women in the Twenty-One Provinces..." Upon hearing these words, Yu Hongxiu felt her heart skip a beat and looked deeply into the eyes of the man before her, saying slowly, "Then I would like to hear the details!"
