Peerless Taoist

Gu Xia screamed, "Shopkeeper, how can you do this? All these years, I have worked hard for the Da Yuan Bank, and even if I didn't do anything, I still suffered."    

Her face was filled with unwillingness and grievance.    

Chu Tianxiong said coldly, "You slandered others without any evidence, and offended the most noble guest of the Da Yuan Bank. Moreover, you used the money of the bank without permission. Give me a reason to keep you here."    

Gu Xia stomped her feet. "Alright! If you dare to chase me away, don't regret it!"    

She raised her head and sneered, "I, Gu Xia, was also a High Scholar in the Great Yu period. My intelligence is unparalleled. In this vast world, there are naturally places where I can stretch my fists and legs. The river flows in thirty years, and the sun rises in another thirty years. Just you wait."    

After saying that, Gu Xia took a step forward and was about to leave.    

She was extremely proud, and now that she was chased away in front of everyone, she was immediately unwilling to leave. So, she planned to leave after saying a few ruthless words.    

Chu Tianxiong looked coldly at Gu Xia.    

When she was about to reach the door, Chu Tianxiong waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately moved to surround Gu Xia.    

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean by this?" Gu Xia was shocked and turned around.    

She raised her head, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile. "What? You know you can't leave now, and you want to beg me to go back? This won't do. It's useless even if you regret it now."    

Gu Xia was extremely confident.    

She believed that with her extraordinary management skills, the Great Shopkeeper would definitely not abandon her so easily.    

"You must have misunderstood. I have long wanted to replace you." Chu Tianxiong shook his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Out of the three hundred or so branch offices in the Kunlun Galaxy, only your branch office has the worst performance, and it has been at the bottom for years."    

"Three years ago, your branch office made a mistake in the account, causing a huge loss."    

"Two years ago, your branch office used their savings to invest in the animal farm, and in the end, they lost all their money. In the end, it was me who helped you fill in the hole."    

"Last year, three guards of your branch office escaped with money. Your interceptions failed, and in the end, you had to spend countless manpower and resources to solve it."    

"How can I let you stay?"    

Every time Chu Tianxiong spoke of a matter, Gu Xia's face would pale a little.    

She had long forgotten about these things, but when Chu Tianxiong mentioned them again, Gu Xia's self-esteem was immediately dealt a huge blow.    

"So what? These are not my problems."    

Gu Xia decided to act shamelessly. "Anyway, I have already left the Da Yuan Bank. These things can only be considered my previous mistake."    

"You are a dignified Daolord, but you are still fussing over these small matters with me. Don't you feel ashamed?"    

Chu Tianxiong laughed. "If you really are incompetent, I can just replace you. I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you."    

"It's a pity that you aren't honest and did something you shouldn't have done. Do you think that I didn't notice anything you did?"    

Gu Xia immediately said vigilantly, "I'm warning you, you have to have evidence to slander someone!"    

The group of guards following Gu Xia couldn't help but shake their heads and watch coldly.    

Just now, when Gu Xia slandered Lu Yu, she did not mention any evidence.    

Now that this suspicion had landed on her, she began to pay attention to the evidence.    

"Evidence? Hmph! Men! " Chu Tianxiong clapped his hands.    

Two black-robed cultivators walked out from the main door. They were holding a wealthy merchant tied up and covered in Fu Lu, sealing all of his cultivation level.    

The wealthy merchant was forced to kneel on the ground by the black-robed cultivators. When he saw Chu Tianxiong and the others, he was so scared that his legs trembled.    

"Tell me, how did you plan this?" Chu Tianxiong said indifferently.    

The wealthy merchant shuddered and hurriedly said, "I will tell you everything! It was Gu Xia who asked me to transfer the public account of the Da Yuan Bank into my personal account. Then, she used some methods to cover it up. After the matter was done, we would get a thirty-seventy split of the money."    

"The money is worth five billion! Even if it's a thirty-seventy split, I can still get 1.5 billion, which is enough for me to live a life without worries. So, I was blinded by greed and fell into Gu Xia's trap. I beg the shopkeeper to spare my life!"    

After saying that, the rich merchant kept kowtowing, his face filled with panic.    

"Shopkeeper, the testimony of Gu Xia's trusted aide and the altered account book are all here. After our investigation, we found that there was indeed five billion missing!"    

A black-robed cultivator walked in from outside, holding a large pile of scrolls in his hands.    

Seeing these scrolls and the rich merchant who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Gu Xia sat on the ground with a pale face.    

The truth was out.    

It turned out that Gu Xia had long since taken a fancy to the five billion silver notes in Lu Yu's hands and wanted to take it for herself.    

The reason why she called the four elders of the Pearl River was that she wanted to borrow the power of the Great Yuan Bank to kill Lu Yu by force, so that there would be no witnesses.    

However, she never thought that Lu Yu's strength would be so strong.    

What she never thought of was that even the shopkeeper was extremely wary of Lu Yu's identity, and he had to treat him with respect.    

"Shopkeeper, I was just confused for a moment. Please forgive me." Gu Xia's face was pale as she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.    

"Confused for a moment? You planned this all along." Chu Tianxiong's eyes were cold, and his voice was indifferent, "Over the years, you have used all kinds of methods to take away more than ten billion."    

Gu Xia's body started to tremble like a sieve.    

She thought that everything was flawless, but she didn't expect that everything was under the control of the shopkeeper.    

Thinking about the consequences she would have to bear, Gu Xia's heart sank. Without any hesitation, she turned around and left.    

Her speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, she turned into a black shadow and flew towards the door.    

"You want to leave?"    

Chu Tianxiong raised his hand and grabbed.    

In an instant, the space around Gu Xia seemed to have frozen, forming a crystal-like space seal. Gu Xia's figure was trapped in this space, unable to move at all.    

"No! I was wrong, big shopkeeper! I was wrong!"    

Gu Xia was trapped in this space and kept wailing.    

However, Chu Tianxiong did not care about what Gu Xia was saying. He forcefully took her into his sleeve.    

After Gu Xia was taken away, the black-robed cultivator who had attacked Lu Yu immediately trembled and knelt on the ground, apologizing to Lu Yu.    

"Go back, you bunch of disgraceful things!" Chu Tianxiong waved his hand and chased away those people.    

After dealing with these things, Chu Tianxiong carefully came in front of Lu Yu and lowered his head to ask, "I wonder if this is enough to satisfy the VIP?"
