Chapter 879 No Business Acumen

Xia Shengtang thought when he told Gao Ge the news, Gao Ge would be flurried and worried even if he didn’t lose his head. Gao Ge did look worried but his worry quickly disappeared.

It’s too weird.

Is Gao Ge so good at regulating his emotions?

Or can it be that Gao Ge has come up with a solution?

“Judging from your facial expression, you have come up with a solution? In this case, I’m doing this for nothing,” Xia Shengtang says with a sigh.

“Not really.” Gao Ge shakes his head.

Xia Shengtang has the impulse to clutch his throat.

They have talked so much.

Has Gao Ge thought of a solution or not?

Gao Ge coughs and says honestly, “I don’t know what the good news you mentioned is, but I think I should be able to solve the crisis.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Otherwise, you would have left with Xia Lu,” Gao Ge says, “You can care little about my life but you must care about Xia Lu’s life.”

Xia Shengtang is speechless.

“What do you think? Shengtang, am I right?”

Xia Shengtang is so furious, “I’m still too careless.”

Gao Ge laughs, “However, can’t you really tell me about it?”

“Actually, you were wrong just now for real,” Xia Shengtang says, “Xia Lu must leave first.”

“Umm?” Gao Ge’s face becomes grim.

Is he wrong?

Is the truth not what he believes?

“I do have a solution but whether it can be carried out is a problem. Hence, it will be risky in the final analysis. My sister must leave first,” Xia Shengtang says.

“If so, the people of the Star Sect shall all leave,” Gao Ge says, “I’ll deal with this alone.”

“You are talking nonsense. If all of us leave, it’ll be too ridiculous,” Xia Shengtang shakes his head and says, “Only you stay in the sect. How can it be called a sect? By then, even if the sovereign of the Joyoung Sect doesn’t come, the Star Sect will become the laughing stock in the field of immortal cultivation and the blessed spots. By then, who will respect you? Moreover, if only you are left here, do you think you can cope with the problem alone? Besides, do you think they will be fine if they leave here? I believe that your friends will come here to pay congratulations, like Tang Jiusi and Xie Zhuolian. They will be here by then. Do their lives not matter?”

Gao Ge knits his eyebrows.

“It seems that setting up a sect is really troublesome.”

Xia Shengtang sneers, “Of course, but you are already quite lucky. You’ve got Master Guanshan, Wen Yihuan and the others to help cope with some matters for you. Otherwise, it would be completely impossible to establish a sect alone. Apart from that, although you don’t talk about it, I can also guess that the Dragon Court should have offered you quite some favors when you decided to establish the sect.”

Gao Ge doesn’t deny or admit his words.

It’s good enough that they know it inwardly.

He can never admit it verbally, no matter whom he faces or what circumstances he finds himself in.

“So, they cannot leave now?”

“No, they can’t but my sister must leave,” Xia Shengtang says.

“I’m going nowhere.”

“No way!” Xia Shengtang is dazed. He turns to look at Xia Lu walking out with a bowl of porridge in his hand, “Erk? Lu, listen to me...”

“I won’t listen.”

Xia Shengtang is speechless.

Xia Lu thumps the bowl on the table unhappily and then puts on an unconvinced look, “What? Do you think I stand in your way because my cultivation level is not high enough?”

“Not really...” Xia Shengtang says in a low voice, “I think you should prioritize your safety in any case...”

“That’s not necessary,” Xia Lu says, “We are not sure whether we will face a war or not. Even if we do and encounter danger, we still have enough time to leave. Besides, I’m at the realm of Strength Exposure now. I can be of help.”

Xia Shengtang heaves a sigh.

Although he and Xia Lu spend more time apart than they do together, he is clear about his sister’s character.

It’s entirely impossible to persuade Xia Lu to leave now.

Of course, it won’t be a problem to get Xia Lu out of here if she is not in the know.

This is why Xia Shengtang didn’t talk with Gao Ge until Xia Lu was sent away with an excuse before.

He knows well that as long as his sister knows about this, she won’t leave here regardless, even if she needs to leave for some business. She will never let her man face danger alone.

“Gao Ge.” Xia Shengtang’s gaze settles on Gao Ge.

He also knows that he must rely on Gao Ge if he wants to persuade Xia Lu to leave here. No matter what he says, it won’t be of any use.

However, when Gao Ge turns to look at Xia Lu, he immediately realizes one thing.

No matter what he says, it won’t be of use.

Compared with Xia Shengtang, Gao Ge dares to say that he may know more about Xia Lu than him.

After being silent for a while, Gao Ge says, “You must protect yourself well. Once the situation looks bad, just run away.”

“Okay.” Xia Lu smiles brightly with narrowed eyes and feels satisfied with Gao Ge’s words.

“Gao Ge, what are you talking about?” Xia Shengtang is so furious. Gao Ge is so unprincipled. He changes his stance just after being stared at by Xia Lu. What Gao Ge said is totally useless. Xia Shengtang can have said that if he wants to.

“Shengtang, rest assured. If the situation really looks bad and she doesn’t want to leave, you can just take her away,” Gao Ge says with a smile.

Xia Shengtang thinks about it and then nods.

After all, he is here in the Star Sect only for Xia Lu.

If the Star Sect is faced with a life-and-death crisis, he will definitely cover his sister and leave at once rather than fight desperately with the enemies for the Star Sect.

“As long as I’m here, everything’s under control. ”

He mutters to himself.

Shortly, Liang Bufan has rushed here.

“Boss, oh no, Sovereign, we’ve got a guest.”

Gao Ge is somewhat surprised, “So early? Who is that?”

“Song Yuan, from the Song Family of the Shadow School,” Liang Bufan says.

Gao Ge nods and takes a look at the sun. By estimate, it’s almost time. The guests who come here to extend their congratulations or watch the fun are all here.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Gao Ge stands up. Xia Shengtang and Xia Lu also catch up with him, “Open the gate. Receive the guests!”

Liang Bufan is confused.

The main site of the opening ceremony is the martial field before the hall. The platform has been built. While walking, Gao Ge looks at the site, “What a waste! What a waste...”

“A waste of what?” Xia Lu asks in a low voice.

Gao Ge holds out his fingers to point at the platform ahead and the stone pillars standing on the martial field, saying, “Look. What are these?”

“What?”

“They are all advertising positions! If we could get some sponsorship, maybe we would be able to spend nothing on the opening ceremony. Maybe we could even earn a fortune worth a building. If we hung the banners of various brands here and there, we would earn a big fortune... Alas.” Gao Ge sighs and feels that Wen Yihuan and the others don’t have any business acumen at all.
