Chapter 999: 320: Unassuming and Tedious

"Su Yue, let’s go, we’re going to get the master’s things!"Bai Yeqing politely invited Su Yue to get in the car.

"Is it far?"

Su Yue furrowed his brow.

If the mountain gate is too far away, and Yang Lezhi can’t wait for him and goes down to the Wetland Ghosts first, he’ll be stuck here.

Maybe he should get the things after they return?

But his sister’s matters are urgent!

"Not far, we’ll be there soon!"

Bai Yeqing smiled warmly.

"Alright!"

Su Yue didn’t see the need to doubt Bai Yeqing’s identity. A first-rate driver and a fifth-rate Bai Yeqing aren’t likely to be able to assassinate him.

The car was nice.

The temperature was consistent, the seats neither too soft nor too hard, cold drinks in the rear refrigerator, a TV; it was the most luxurious car interior Su Yue had seen so far.

Su Yue wasn’t interested in cars, but he could tell this car definitely cost more than 20 million.

The overwhelming feeling of luxury couldn’t be described in words.

"Why does a Dao Sect disciple travel wearing..."

On the way, Su Yue couldn’t help but ask Bai Yeqing about the Taoist robes.

Why wear a suit?

Is there no sense of devotion to the Dao Sect?

"Uh, you mean the clothes?

"Disciples of the Dao Sect can wear what they like in this worldly life, there’s no strict requirement.

"The Dao Sect is not as strict as you might imagine."

White Night gave a bitter smile.

"I see, keeping up with the times, not bad, not bad!"

Su Yue nodded.

At the same time, he observed that Bai Yeqing had no trace of menacing aura, despite being a fifth-rate, he seemed to be the purest type of Qi and Blood Martial Artist.

However, Su Yue had heard that Dao Sect disciples don’t participate in Wetland Ghosts warfare, as they only seek the Dao and don’t practice any combat techniques.

In a way, Dao Sect disciples are rather fortunate.

Sure enough, not long after, just around 20 minutes, the car stopped.

Su Yue and Bai Yeqing got out.

"Isn’t this Celestial Wind Street?"

After getting out of the car, the bustling traffic in front of them made Su Yue noticeably stunned.

Celestial Wind Street.

It’s the financial center of West City, a street teeming with financial buildings, with over a dozen gigantic buildings, each exceeding 100 floors, truly colossal.

As for smaller commercial buildings, they’re innumerable.

Martial Artists aren’t especially interested in this place, but for ordinary people, it’s a land of high salaries.

"There is a Dao Sect office here."

Bai Yeqing nodded.

Then they walked into a building, and Bai Yeqing skillfully swiped his card to go upstairs.

Su Yue observed that the security seemed to know Bai Yeqing, possibly because he comes often.

Honestly speaking, Su Yue still felt a bit uncomfortable coming into such a grand building.

Many young professionals were coming and going, and several delivery guys were bringing coffee upstairs, reminding Su Yue of his days delivering food.

But unfortunately, Cengyan City is just a small town, without such tall skyscrapers.

51st floor.

"Wow, the Dao Sect is really extravagant, renting such a large space for an office?"

Su Yue walked in.

Very luxurious.

Such a large office with an antique decor, which shows a bit of the Dao Sect’s style.

Though it has an antique style, it doesn’t feel too rigid.

It’s a harmonious blend of modern and traditional that exudes beauty.

Su Yue walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and couldn’t help but look down.

On the ground, matchbox-like cars weave in and out, people like ants, suddenly giving him an urge to abandon martial arts for commerce.

Overlooking all living beings.

Reclining in a boss’s chair, a secretary fanning natural wind with a palm-leaf fan, and sending people off to Africa without a second thought, so plain yet monotonous.

By the way, the Rolex needs to be worn.

"This... isn’t rented, it’s bought."

Bai Yeqing chuckled awkwardly.

"What?

"Is the Dao Sect really this wealthy? This floor must be over 1000 square meters.

"At 1 million per square meter, this floor must cost over a billion."

Su Yue was dumbfounded.

Just an office? The Dao Sect is indeed extravagant.

It’s important to know this skyscraper is the core of Financial Street, worth every bit of its price, 1 million per square is an understatement, and with demand far exceeding supply.

How delightful it is to have money.

Being financially poor truly limits one’s imagination.

"This... isn’t just the floor, the whole building is owned by the Dao Sect."

Bai Yeqing, though not wanting to flaunt wealth, felt it wrong to hide from Su Yue, so he casually mentioned it.

Upon hearing, Su Yue stiffened.

His brain somewhat crashed, momentarily unable to calculate the figures.

A floor is roughly 1 billion.

floors.

A thousand billion?

What kind of astronomical figure is this, joking?

How can a poor man’s life continue?

Su Yue again looked at Bai Yeqing, indeed, greasy hair and powdered face, exuding the stench of rotten wealth, nauseating yet jealousy-inducing.

"Is the Dao Sect really this rich?"

Su Yue sat down, incredulously asking.

What happened to the secluded ancient temples?

What happened to simple tea and food, humble cultivation?

Unbelievable.

"Uh, the secular world might not understand the Dao Sect; we’re not the same as the Dao Sect depicted in TV shows.

"You might think of the Dao Sect as a school, but a school that doesn’t need to pay taxes to the government, plus the Dao Sect has its own Ministry of Commerce, and in fact, is quite business-savvy, we need to eat too."

Bai Yeqing gave a helpless smile.

Indeed, another young man misunderstanding the Dao Sect.

"Doesn’t need to pay taxes to the government? The Dao Sect has this privilege?"

Su Yue furrowed his brow.

That’s unreasonable.

The government’s commercial tax is very high, this is the same in all countries.

No choice, the government has to guard the Wet Ghost Tower and fight against alien races, so it must support a large Military Department and countless Martial Artists.
