Greed

"Red Leaf Ridge's business..." Qu Jianlei thought for a while and replied, "Our business is quite complex, why don't you learn more about it first?"

"That's... okay," Duan Bowen was a little dumbfounded. Is this a cooperative attitude? But it depends on who said it. If Red Leaf Ridge said this, it means that their attitude is already good.

At least it involves the other party's business, and he has the right to choose. At this moment, he can't choose. He can only blame himself for knowing Buduo.

And Ridge Lord Qu is qualified to say this. With his strength, it is not a slight.

Anyway, Duan Bowen couldn't bear the slightest bit of resentment. Instead, he smiled Diandian and said, "Okay, then I have to think about it carefully."

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "What about the business between Dongsheng and Central Province..."

"No way?" Qu Jianlei looked at him with a strange expression, "Are you planning to help other people sneak across the border again?"

"That's not what I meant," Duan Bowen shook his head. At this juncture, he helped a large number of people sneak across the border, and no one could save him.

He said shamelessly, "I mean, when you go back and forth, can you give me a ride?"

Since the atmosphere at Dongsheng was getting worse and worse, he had made a plan before coming back not to go to Dongsheng again in the short term.

But when he saw that Ridge Lord Qu could frequently visit Dongsheng, his thoughts became alive again.

I didn't go to Dongsheng before, not because I didn't want to go, but because I was worried that it would be too inconvenient - I took a lot of detours last time.

Now that you can take the Red Leaf Ridge line and travel at high speed and safely, why should you hesitate?

Qu Jianlei looked at him helplessly, "Although you helped us cross the sea, is this a bit presumptuous?"

"A... a little bit," Duan Bowen hesitated, but did not deny it. After all, the other party had a lot of secrets.

But then he said, "But the war is coming, and this is a good time to make a lot of money."

He had seen with his own eyes how crazy all parties were in hoarding goods during the preparation stage.

"Earn this money..." Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly, "We don't want to participate."

"It's not what you think," Duan Bowen replied seriously, "I also admire Red Leaf Ridge's high moral integrity."

"It's not that I have to make this money, but the biggest disaster is the shortage of supplies during the war, and it has nothing to do with the price!"

"I can sell it at a fair price and not make this money, but other peers have no incentive to make money, so there are only two possibilities."

"The biggest possibility is that I will be killed. There is also a smaller probability... that it will cause Dongsheng to have insufficient war preparation materials!"

While he was talking plausibly, Claire came over and said, "Boss, True Immortal San Shi wants to see you."

True Immortal San Shi followed the rules when he came to the door. After the announcement, he put Flying Shuttle away and stood waiting at the door.

He couldn't help but Qu Jianlei could only bring Qinghu to the door to greet him.

Ordinarily Qinghu is also Nascent Soul Realm. One person can greet them and lead them to see the boss.

However, Qu Jianlei guessed the other party's intention, so he stopped putting on airs. If we were socializing normally, it wouldn't hurt to give the other party some face.

When True Immortal San Shi saw Qu Jianlei appear, his eyes widened in shock, obviously a little surprised.

Then he smiled and cupped his hands, with a bit of bitterness on his face, "Ridge Lord Qu, you hid it so badly from me."

Sure enough, I got it! Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "When fellow Daoists go out to travel, they don't use the family's banner, right?"

Thirty True Immortal's origin is not particularly secret. At least others can confirm that he has no family in Great Leaf City.

And when Qu Jianlei reported his name, he didn't hide anything. The other party's information ability was blocked, so you can't blame him.

As expected, True Immortal San Shi's complaint was just a prelude.

He smiled and said, "That's right. I also asked when Liuguang City had such a character. Unexpectedly, he was the real owner of Restoration Fluid."

"Restoration Fluid is hard-earned," Qu Jianlei replied casually, then waved his hand, "Fellow Daoist, please come in,"

True Immortal San Shi came to sit down in the courtyard and was about to speak. He couldn't help but glance at Duan Bowen not far away.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "This fellow Daoist... is also from your side?"

"San Shi, stop pretending," Duan Bowen said calmly, "I don't believe you didn't recognize me."

"Haha, it turns out to be fellow Daoist Bowen!" True Immortal San Shi smiled heartily, "I didn't expect that fellow Daoist is also familiar with the owner of this room."

"Okay, my name here is Wen Bo," Duan Bowen replied casually, "Ridge Lord Qu and I met at Dongsheng."

When he was active in the eastern part of Central Province, he always called himself Wen Bo. Since he was in this line of work, it was normal to use a pseudonym.

However, he chose this pseudonym so casually, as you can imagine, it was just a coincidence.

Nascent Soul Realm, who is a little more experienced, can basically guess what kind of business he is in. He is just pretending.

And True Immortal San Shi directly named his real name, which means clearly: We know your situation well.

So Duan Bowen doesn't pretend anymore - I just go back and forth between Dongsheng and Central Province, so what? True Immortal San Shi Diandian nodded indifferently, "Wen Bo fellow Daoist friend Wen Bo can get acquainted with Ridge Lord Qu, it is also a great Creation."

This may seem like a compliment, but it's actually a bit unkind.

If Duan Bowen and Red Leaf Ridge don't know each other, there is a high probability that you should be polite to him, one of the founders of the Five Friends Alliance.

True Immortal Bowen didn't answer when he heard this. He knew True Immortal San Shi's temper, so a proper expression of dissatisfaction would be enough.

He doesn't want to appear frequently in the eastern part of Central Province in order to reduce unnecessary trouble.

And Five Friends Alliance, who has at least five Nascent Soul Realm, is one of the forces he does not want to provoke.

Qu Jianlei saw that the situation was a little cold, so he took the initiative to speak up, "I wonder if fellow Daoist San Shi is here, what can I learn from you?"

"Don't take it seriously," True Immortal San Shi smiled and waved his hand.

He may not take Duan Bowen seriously, but he really doesn't dare to offend Red Leaf Ridge easily.

"I was also surprised to hear about Fellow Daoist Qu's deeds, so I came here to make friends and get some news."

Qu Jianlei glanced sideways at Duan Bowen and found that he had no intention of avoiding it, so he simply spoke directly.

"We have been friends for a long time. Where are you talking about this, fellow Daoist? I don't know... what news do you want to find out?"

"There are a lot of things I want to ask," True Immortal San Shi also glanced at Duan Bowen, wondering why you are so ignorant? However, considering that the two parties had known each other earlier and might have some interests in it, it was not easy for him to offend.

Then just pretend that this person does not exist, "I want to know first, this Space Repair Fluid... really cannot be discussed?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head slowly when he heard this, "Let me tell you clearly, even if we talk, it is impossible to talk to the Five Friends Alliance. Your establishment time is too short."

San Shi Real Person understands that the length of time is just a polite way of saying it. To put it more clearly, it is because our own strength is not enough.

But as people say, there is indeed no problem. In Central Province, Five Friends Alliance is only a medium-sized force, which can be considered too large at best.

Not to mention anything else, I will just say that Great Leaf City, which is currently under discussion to restart Locking Sky Grand Array, will be stronger than Five Friends Alliance.

If Five Friends Alliance can develop rapidly and spread to other large urban areas, then Great Leaf City has too many things to worry about.

If they develop normally, Great Leaf City will definitely ignore them, but if they do things that are too dishonorable, City Lord's Mansion will naturally intervene.

So since Red Leaf Ridge has this attitude, there is really no way to talk about this matter.

So True Immortal San Shi asked another question, "I heard that Red Leaf Ridge has a device that is the nemesis of Heavenly Demon... quite magical?"

"It's better than nothing," Qu Jianlei Diandian said, "San Shi fellow Daoist, do you have any samples?"

"Sample?" True Immortal San Shi was shocked at first when he heard this, and then came back to his senses, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that it has spread to Central Province?"

"I'm not sure about this," Qu Jianlei smiled noncommittally, "Maybe."

He was really not sure, but since Restoration Fluid, which is so rare, could be smuggled into Central Province, why couldn't the detector? As for this being an item that Dongsheng urgently needs, there is no reason to smuggle it into Central Province?

Qu Jianlei is willing to believe that most Dongsheng people are good, but he will never underestimate the lower limit of individual people.

However, True Immortal San Shi misunderstood. He looked at Duan Bowen thoughtfully and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Fellow Daoist Bowen..."

"Don't mention it," True Immortal Bowen waved his hand and said calmly, "I didn't do such a thing, but I can't guarantee that others didn't do it."

True Immortal San Shi didn't doubt his words. After all, Qu Jianlei was sitting here. How dare the other party lie to him and Ridge Lord Qu?

So he nodded slightly, "What Daoist Qu said is possible, but this kind of thing... what does it mean?"

Before Qu Jianlei could speak, Duan Bowen spoke up, "San Shi, fellow Daoist, you don't understand such an obvious meaning?"

True Immortal San Shi blinked and nodded slightly, "It shouldn't mean that I misjudged the role of Heavenly Demon Bane... I understand!"

"Five Friends Alliance has not obtained this kind of equipment. Fellow Qu Daoist is saying that our information capabilities are inferior?"

"Not so much Buduo," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "To put it bluntly, can Guimeng handle such a big business?"

Immediately afterwards, Duan Bowen spread his hands and said, "I don't even dare to think about this business. Fellow Daoist San Shi should think twice!"

"That makes sense," True Immortal San Shi Diandian nodded thoughtfully.

He had never thought before that he would meet Qu Jianlei on this trip. He was really here to deepen their friendship and did not carefully consider the risks involved.

But as soon as the other party reminded him, he reacted instantly. This business was really not something that ordinary people could handle.

However, Five Friends Alliance is ultimately stronger than Duan Bowen, and it has been in business for hundreds of years and has gained some support.

So he calmed down and looked at Qu Jianlei, "This business is really big, but... are you willing to support us?"

Five Friends Alliance is indeed a little less powerful, but Red Leaf Ridge is the producer of the item.

If Ridge Lord Qu can make it clear that it will hand over the business to the Five Friends Alliance, then their pressure will be reduced a lot.

You... you really dare to take it! In Qu Jianlei's heart, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, it is true that people die for money and birds die for food.
