True Immortal Yongheng is not surprised by the problems of Qu Jianlei. Although Red Leaf Ridge has generally good reviews, it is not a good one.

They dared to attack Cultivator Alliance's deacon, and Central Province True Immortal Duan Bowen who was present at the time was also captured.

There was news a while ago that Carefree True Immortal, who had been missing for several years, had appeared. It was said that he had been detained by Red Leaf Ridge.

There are also rumors that if it were not for the invasion by Heavenly Demon, Carefree True Immortal would never have appeared alive.

Even the observers sent by Central Province and Red Leaf Ridge basically didn't buy it.

True Immortal Yongheng really has no doubt that Ridge Lord Qu dared to take action against the City Lord's Mansion's people - the big thing is to return to Dongsheng.

He smiled and shook his head, "There will be no conflict. Great Leaf City Meeting you is essentially equivalent to contacting a stowaway."

"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "If they capture me, it will be equivalent to capturing a stowaway."

"This..." True Immortal Yongheng's face changed slightly, and Diandian couldn't help but think about it, "It's really possible for them to do it."

"Then just refuse, so what if you send us to the Star Palace? As long as you are willing to continue to support Five Friends Alliance..."

This is what gives him confidence. He is definitely concerned about the threat of the City Lord's Mansion, but he is not particularly afraid of it.

As long as Red Leaf Ridge doesn't let go and is willing to help Five Friends Alliance, Star Palace... Naihe can't defeat them either.

The partners have too much hard currency, and Central Province cannot possibly offend them to death.

In the past, True Immortal Yongheng has tried its best to conceal the existence of the manor, just to show its sincerity in cooperation.

It's the same now - since you're worried about danger, I'll take care of it.

"That's not necessary," Qu Jianlei smiled and shook his head, "I really don't believe it, they dare to do it."

It's not that he doesn't believe in the other party's courage, but he's really not afraid of the other party taking action. It's just that as a human being, there's no need to talk too much.

True Immortal Yongheng's age is not in vain, he instantly realized the other party's true intention.

He nodded, "Okay, I'll ask them to come with fewer people."

"There's no need..." Qu Jianlei muttered in a low voice, but he didn't say anything else.

It would be better if there were fewer people here, so as to prevent the other party from "having a sharp knife in his heart and killing himself". He didn't want to make the relationship with Central Province people too tense.

Three days later, True Immortal Yongheng's mansion in the suburbs of Great Leaf City received a notification from his own Kunxiu Golden Core Realm.

Ridge Lord Qu is next to Small Town, six thousand kilometers away from Great Leaf City, waiting for the arrival of Huo Jiujian City Lord.

He did not ask for how many people to come, but specified that City Lord Huo should come in person.

Jiujian City Lord looked at True Immortal Yongheng in front of him and asked calmly, "Meet me by name... What if I don't go?"

"The other party didn't say anything," Five Friends Alliance boss replied calmly, "Anyway, I brought it with me."

"Haha, I'm very excited," City Lord Huo smiled nonchalantly and asked calmly, "Are you going then?"

"That depends on what the city lord wants," True Immortal Yongheng's face remained expressionless, "It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"Then let's go together," Huo Jiujian nodded slightly, and then asked, "I'll bring a guard, doesn't it matter?"

The other party designated a location, obviously because he didn't want to do anything. It was not appropriate for him to show off during this trip, but it was necessary to bring a bodyguard.

"He didn't say not to take it," True Immortal Yongheng replied calmly, "I think it's okay."

City Lord Huo only brought his own Page Boy, but some well-informed people knew that this person was older than the city lord.

Flying Shuttle landed on the hilltop outside the town. City Lord Huo saw a man and a woman at Half Mountain's waist at a glance.

He had also heard about the appearance of Ridge Lord Qu, and said hello with a smile as he walked forward.

"Ridge Lord Qu's name, I've admired it for a long time, and finally I'm lucky enough to meet him. What's your name?"

Central Province still pays relatively much attention to etiquette, and there is usually a ceremony at the beginning of the meeting.

Following Qu Jianlei is Jia Shuiqing. When she was dealing with True Immortal Wuyou in the past, she did not make a public appearance.

Old Lady Jia's reputation among Dongsheng is not particularly good, but City Lord Huo actually knows about it, which shows that he has indeed done a lot of homework.

After the two parties finished their greetings, Qu Jianlei spoke straight to the point, "I heard that City Lord Huo is in a hurry to contact Red Leaf Ridge. I don't know why?"

Huo Jiujian pondered for two or three seconds, then smiled slightly, "Ridge Lord Qu, ordinarily you shouldn't appear in Central Province."

"This is very boring," Qu Jianlei said frankly, "I still have a lot to do, how about... let's talk about it another day?"

"Okay, I'm not done yet," City Lord Huo smiled again, "I'm overjoyed that you showed up. Great Leaf City is saved!"

"Please forgive me for being rude," Qu Jianlei coughed lightly, "City Lord Huo, Heavenly Demon are wreaking havoc. I hope to communicate simply and efficiently."

These words are somewhat sarcastic - at this juncture, please stop using the official tone, okay?

But in fact, when he spoke like this, he was suspected of dominating the rhythm and direction of the conversation.

But Huo Jiujian doesn't care. Not only is he Nascent Soul True Immortal, he is also a qualified city lord and will not care about these little tricks.

He took the opportunity to kill and fight, "This is what I want to say, Ridge Lord Qu, Heavenly Demon are wreaking havoc, it is the time for Red Leaf Ridge to show its talents."

Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, "City Lord Huo, be more efficient!"

"Laser Weapon," Huo Jiujian said directly, "Central Province needs a large amount of Laser Weapon, and we have enough spirit stones."

This is an insinuation that Dongsheng's spiritual stones are insufficient. As expected, this person's information is quite good.

Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "City Lord Huo should know how much the detector costs... You don't really think we are short of spiritual stones, do you?"

"Then tell me what you want," Huo Jiujian was really happy, "As long as you dare to say... well, except Out of Body Cultivation Method!"

"Haha," Qu Jianlei laughed, then said after a pause, "I'm here this time to explain one thing..."

He raised his hand and pointed at True Immortal Yongheng, "Five Friends Alliance is my Red Leaf Ridge partner. If City Lord Huo is okay, I will leave."

Huo Jiujian is definitely well-informed. He couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Is he so arrogant? True Immortal Yongheng lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, but his heart was in turmoil: This time, I finally made the right bet!

"Wait a moment," the Page Boy actually said, with a hint of anger in his clear eyes, "Wait for the city lord to finish speaking."

"Huh?" Jia Shuiqing frowned upon hearing this, "City Lord Huo, your management skills are really bad!"

"You!" Page Boy glared at her, as if fire was about to burst out of his eyes.

"You asked for it," Jia Shuiqing looked at him indifferently, "If you are not convinced, come to Life and Death Battle?"

Red Leaf Ridge Team has experienced enough battles, and almost everyone has a vague evil spirit.

Jia Shuiqing doesn't care about having a life-or-death duel with her opponent. It's not that she underestimates Cultivator, it's just that she has a strong enough trump card.

And the boss also said that the other party would not dare to take action easily - "Even if they are cruel, they have to deal with me first!"

In other words, of all the team members, the boss is most likely to be in danger.

Until Ridge Lord Qu is taken care of, everyone else is safe.

Page Boy was still waiting to say anything. Huo Jiujian coughed lightly and said, "Okay, this is where we get down to business. Ridge Lord Qu Are you interested in coming to Central Province?"

Qu Jianlei answered simply, "I'm at Central Province now."

City Lord Huo replied, "I mean to settle down. The whole Red Leaf Ridge Team can come... If you have any requirements, just ask."

Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly and said, "You are not the first to say that. Fellow Daoist Zhiyuan also said similar things."

"Him?" City Lord Huo's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he smiled faintly, "He has a very high status."

True Immortal Zhiyuan is a serious member of the Star Palace, but in the palace, he is also an ordinary steward with an insignificant status.

Compared with people outside the palace, his status can be regarded as respected, but compared with City Lord Huo... he has no foundation of his own! "Look down on him?" Qu Jianlei smiled, "I want an independent Rank Four Supreme Spirit Vein, can you give it to me?"

"Independence Tier 4 Spirit Vein..." City Lord Huo's face turned dark when he heard this, "Ridge Lord Qu, I did not offend you!"

As the lord of the city, he holds real power and has absolute say in his own territory. He can be regarded as a prince.

Only this independent Tier 4 Spirit Vein is not something he has the power to dispose of, and must be handed over to the Star Palace for management and distribution.

The ordinary Tier 4 Spirit Vein is like this, let alone the fourth level peak.

"What you said is really ridiculous," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "It was you who suggested that I come to Central Province and asked me to put forward conditions!"

"I didn't mention Out of Body Cultivation Method. What's the matter? My people want to come to Central Province... and share Tier 4 Spirit Vein with others?"

"I'm very surprised, you have nothing, how dare you lick your face and ask Red Leaf Ridge to cooperate with you?"

Huo Jiujian was stunned for a full minute before bursting into laughter, "Okay, you are indeed a good partner!"

Then his face straightened, "I admit, I underestimated you before. It's because Central Province cultivators are damn arrogant..."

"Let's do this." He raised his hand and released a dozen Jade Tablet. "They are all Nascent Soul Technique. Consider them my apology, okay?"

Qu Jianlei smiled and remained silent. Jia Shuiqing took the initiative to step forward and take a look. There was an obvious look of surprise on his face.

"Boss, there are three sets that are duplicates."

There are more than a dozen sets of exercises, but only three sets are repeated... Qu Jianlei nodded slightly.

"City Lord Huo is indeed a thoughtful person, but I'm surprised. Isn't it good to be so happy so early...?"

This time, it was Huo Jiujian's turn to be silent. After a while, he asked, "Dare to ask fellow Daoist Qu, how many Dao Companion are there?"

Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "Is this the answer you gave me?"

"Sorry, that's not the case," City Lord Huo replied in a deep voice, "But I have to consider explaining to the interests of all parties, and I can't be happy about it."

Everyone laughed at him. He was a dignified city lord from a first-tier city. He thought about things before and after, but he really had no sense of responsibility.

But doesn't he want to? He also wants to be like Ridge Lord Qu, who can make decisions arbitrarily, but the problem is that he really can't do it.

It is not necessary to do it, but it is really impossible.
