True Immortal Yongheng was not surprised by Qu Jianlei's question. Although Red Leaf Ridge generally had a good reputation, they were no pushovers.
They had dared to attack a Cultivator Alliance steward, and Duan Bowen, the Central Province True Immortal who had been present at the time, had also been taken down.
Some time ago, news spread that Carefree True Immortal, who had been missing for years, had reappeared. It was said that he had been imprisoned by Red Leaf Ridge all along.
There were even rumors that if not for the Heavenly Demon invasion, Carefree True Immortal would never have reappeared alive.
Even the observer sent by Central Province was largely ignored by Red Leaf Ridge.
True Immortal Yongheng truly had no doubt that Ridge Lord Qu would dare lay hands on someone from the City Lord's Mansion—the worst that could happen was returning to Dongsheng.
He smiled and shook his head. "There won't be any conflict. Meeting you in Great Leaf City is, in essence, also a form of contacting a smuggler."
"Heh." Qu Jianlei smiled dismissively. "If they take me down, that would amount to capturing a smuggler."
"This..." True Immortal Yongheng's expression changed slightly. After thinking it over, he nodded. "They really might be capable of doing that."
"Then reject them. What does it matter if they send us to Star Palace? So long as you're willing to continue supporting the Five Friends Alliance..."
This was the confidence behind his fearlessness. He certainly cared about the City Lord's Mansion's threat, but he was not particularly afraid of it.
As long as Red Leaf Ridge did not let them down and was willing to stand up for the Five Friends Alliance, even Star Palace... could do nothing to them.
Their partner had far too much hard currency
