Flower Immortal Manor Lord

Ma Wu stood on the new land given to him by Li Banfeng and examined the five thousand Three-Headed People.

He didn't miss a single one, because these five thousand Three-Headed People gave him too many regrets, but also countless expectations.

There is a Three-Headed People, the middle head A'Yun, and she is also the controller of this body.

A'Yun is beautiful and understanding. Ma Wu likes this girl very much. But to A'Yun's left is A'Gong, an old man in his fifties, and to A'Yun's right is A'Liang, a young man of fifteen or sixteen.

The two of them kept staring at Ma Wu, their faces showing a faint shyness.

That's not quite right, which means that Ma Wu and this Miss A'Yun are destined to be apart.

Of the five thousand Three-Headed People, less than six hundred had three female heads, and less than one hundred of them were to Ma Wu's liking. These one hundred were the people Ma Wu would focus on taking care of.

"When our land becomes Proper Land, I want to build another Carefree Dock here, employing only Three-Headed People as actors: one lead singer and two backup singers. I'm sure Song Queen will emerge from among these hundred people!"

Feng Daiku laughed upon hearing this, "With Three-Headed People as the queen of Song Queen, will anyone dare to come to your Carefree Dock? Aren't you afraid of scaring people away?"

"At first, I was a little scared, but I got used to it after a few times," Ma Wu said, standing on the hillside, looking at his territory and at every Three-Headed People around him. "Seventh Brother is right. They are human beings, no different from us. They can do everything we can do. Jiang Mengting can be a movie queen, and they can do it too."

As they were talking, the two heard Jiang Mengting singing.

Jiang Mengting has only recently entered the Daoist path. Today, she has come to this new place to see if its unique environment can help her advance to a higher level.

Even without accompaniment, her singing was still moving. The Three-Headed People, who were busy, sat around her and listened quietly as she sang "The Four Seasons Song".

"Spring arrives, green fills the window, a young woman embroiders mandarin ducks by the window, suddenly a merciless stick strikes, and the mandarin ducks are separated."

Feng Daiku, "She sings so well, this girl is so talented."

Ma Wu laughed and said, "She doesn't sing every song that well. 'The Four Seasons Song,' 'Pretending to be Serious,' and 'Full Moon and Blooming Flowers' are the three songs she sings best."

What's so special about these three songs?

"What's special is that Seventh Brother really likes it, especially 'The Four Seasons Song'. I don't understand why Seventh Brother likes it so much."

"Wife, please sing 'The Four Seasons Song' for me!" Li Banfeng rolled around on the bed, clutching the record player.

The record player struggled fiercely. "I won't sing, I won't sing for you!"

Li Banfeng hugged his Wife again. "Wife, you've eaten so many good foods these days, it's time for your husband to treat you to some good food, otherwise your husband might just force you."

The record player flipped over and pressed down on Li Banfeng: "What can you do about it by force? Do Little Slave think I'm afraid of you? Let's see who's stronger!"

"Wife, this is not right of you!" Li Banfeng grabbed the joint under the phonograph needle.

The record player laughed and shouted, "You crazy man, you can't beat me so you resort to cheating! Stop scratching my armpits, I can't take it! Little Slave, please spare Little Slave, Little Slave 'm out of breath! Please listen to Little Slave slowly!"

Li Banfeng was getting a little anxious. The Travel Cultivator on the Cloud Above Second Layer for some time now, while the House Cultivator was still on the first level.

Li Banfeng doesn't dare to go to the local area to collect popularity now, because if the Travel Cultivator advances again, it will backfire on the House Cultivator.

But the record player kept saying that this couldn't be rushed, "My lord, levels are solidified through technique. You haven't even mastered the skill of being alone with your Shadows Pitying Each Other, Little Slave dare I let you advance to the second level?"

"How can you say you haven't learned it!" Li Banfeng summoned his shadow. "My shadow can come and go as it pleases, and its skills are no worse than mine."

"Can you demonstrate a technique for me?"

Li Banfeng squatted down next to the record player with both hands. "I used the Shadows Pitying Each Other, which I can't use with other techniques, but that doesn't stop me from getting promoted."

As they spoke, Shadow also put his hands behind his back and squatted down on the ground.

The record player stared at Li Banfeng through its large speaker for a long time before asking, "My dear husband, lately when you talk about important matters, you always squat down. What's the reason for that?"

Li Banfeng smiled and asked, "What important thing did I say?"

"My lord once said—" The record player coughed, almost steer the conversation off course by Li Banfeng, "This Little Slave isn't asking about anything important. This Little Slave is asking why my lord is always squatting?"

Li Banfeng sighed and said, "I am troubled. There are powerful enemies outside, and my cultivation level has not improved."

They can only be bullied by others.

The record player sighed, "It's really tough on my husband. He gets bullied every day, yet he still buys back so many delicious dishes every day."

"Isn't this because I've been thinking about my Wife's belly?" Li Banfeng rubbed the record player's belly a few times, making his Wife laugh non-stop because it tickled her.

"My lord, stop fooling around. Listen to what Little Slave to say. As long as you use even a fraction of the power of your Shadows Pitying Each Other Technique, Little Slave will help you advance to the second level."

"What does it mean to use even a fraction of your power?"

"My lord, first summon your shadow. Just one killing technique will suffice."

"What are the skills of combat?"

"The techniques of 'Sudden Wind on Flat Ground,' 'Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity,' 'Golden Eye Autumn Bristle,' 'Hundred Flavors Exquisite,' and 'Discern Spiritual Sounds' are not considered combat skills. All other techniques are. Which one you can use depends on your abilities, sir."

Li Banfeng remained squatting on the ground, concealing his shadow.

It's tough.

When Li Banfeng used the technique of being Shadows Pitying Each Other, he couldn't even use the Fool Cultivation Skill.

It seemed like he had been given a difficult problem, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Banfeng realized that his Wife was still doing it for his own good.

When facing a strong opponent, if you can use even just one technique, it will give you a huge advantage.

First, you need to choose a technique that's easy to learn. Which technique is suitable?

After leaving Portable Abode, Li Banfeng arrived at Ma Wu's new land. Many guests came to offer their congratulations. Compared with when Chu Er acquired the Land Block, there were more guests this time.

Several Local Earth God from the new area, including Sha Dingzhong, Rong Sijiao, and Xie Laizi, have arrived, as have two Local Earth God from the Proper Land, Hua Manchun and Dou Jiyan.

Pan Dehai arrived a little late. Feng Daiku wanted to avoid him, but Pan Dehai took the initiative to come closer.

"Miss Feng, congratulations!"

Feng Daiku, cold laugh, "Old Pan is joking. This land isn't mine, so why should I be happy?"

Pan Dehai said, "Miss Feng and Young Master Ma are deeply in love; there's no need to distinguish between them."

Feng Daiku and said, "Is Old Pan mocking me? Fifth Son and I are not a married couple who have gone through a wedding ceremony."

Pan Dehai quickly replied, "Every word I uttered comes from the bottom of my heart. If you could open your heart, I would gladly show this sincere heart to you, young lady."

"Okay, I'll open it for you!" Li Banfeng arrived carrying a knife.

Pan Dehai quickly bowed and said, "Brother Li Qi, you are a man of great talent and De Mao, and now you have been granted the title of a regional lord."

Feng Daiku, "Young Master Li, be careful. You are a man of great talent and De Mao, and this is Old Pan's technique."

"," Pan Dehai shook his head and said, "Miss Feng, why are you so wary? I have come here with no ill intentions, I only ask for your help in the future."

Li Banfeng, holding a knife, said, "Let's open his chest and examine him first."

Pan Dehai quickly changed the subject, and he clasped his hands in a fist and said to Hua Manchun, "Master Hua, it's been many years since we last met. We must have a good drink together later."

Hua Manchun was a middle-aged man in his early fifties, dressed in a white long robe, wearing a white turban, and holding a feather fan, looking like an ancient scholar.

Seeing that Pan Dehai had taken the initiative to speak, Hua Manchun returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute. "Old Pan, we certainly can't skimp on this drink, but please allow me to discuss some serious matters with Miss Feng first."

Feng Daiku sensed something was wrong. He glanced at Ma Wu, then smiled at Hua Manchun and said, "Today is Fifth Son's special day. Why have you all come to the wrong person to offer your congratulations?"

Hua Manchun waved his hand and said, "I'm not here today just to offer my congratulations, but also to discuss something with Miss Feng. I heard that Miss Feng recently acquired the land of the Soda Kiln, and now her business is thriving. It's not easy for her to manage this small place of Belt Ridge. Would Miss Feng be willing to give Belt Ridge to me?"

Feng Daiku looked Hua Manchun up and down. "I didn't hear clearly just now. Did Master Hua tell me to give you the land?"

Bei Hua Manchun waved her feather fan and said, "I certainly won't take it for nothing. Gold, silver, jewels, Spiritual Objects, and magical artifacts—whatever I have, you can choose whatever you like."

As she spoke, Hua Manchun looked directly into Feng Daiku's eyes, seemingly with a hint of flirtation.

Not many people have that kind of courage. Looking into Feng Daiku's eyes, one could easily fall in Feng Daiku with her at any moment.

Hua Manchun's actions were both a test and a warning. He had the means to control his feelings, and he also had the methods to control his Emotion Cultivator.

Feng Daiku shook his head slightly. "I appreciate Master Hua's kindness, but Belt Ridge is where I started my business. Although the land is small and remote, my family is still very wealthy. I really can't bear to give it up. Master Hua, please ask around elsewhere."

Hua Manchun stopped holding her Folding Fan, her smile vanished, and she looked at Feng Daiku and said, "Miss Feng, were you deliberately mocking me just now?"

To be honest, today is a good day for Ma Wu, Feng Daiku really doesn't want to argue with Hua Manchun.

Hua Manchun has had his eye on Belt Ridge for quite some time now. He has openly challenged Feng Daiku to take the place, and he has also tried to sabotage it behind the scenes. The two are neighbors and have fought countless battles.

Why does Hua Manchun insist on speaking so openly on this occasion?

Feng Daiku, "Everyone is here today to congratulate the Fifth Young Master. Master Hua, regarding our past grievances..."

We'll discuss this in more detail later.

"Let's not wait until later, we need to get this straight today," Hua Manchun said, glancing at the people around him and then at Feng Daiku. "Let's stick to the facts. Just now, Miss Feng and Miss Feng were having a serious discussion, and I spoke with utmost respect, without the slightest impoliteness. Miss Feng, in front of so many people, made sarcastic remarks. What exactly do you mean by that?"

Ma Wu, standing nearby, didn't understand which of Feng Daiku's words was sarcastic towards him.

Feng Daiku gestured to Ma Wu to be quiet. She knew she hadn't said anything sarcastic about Hua Manchun; Hua Manchun was just deliberately picking a fight.

"Master Hua, it was my fault for speaking carelessly just now. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused."

"What do you mean by 'oversight'?" Hua Manchun's face darkened further. "Are you saying I'm intentionally finding fault with you?"

Ma Wu couldn't help but ask, "Master Hua, I'm not very well-mannered and my mind isn't very sharp. I really don't understand what Miss Feng said that offended you."

If there is even a single word or phrase like that, then Ma Wu and Miss Feng will apologize to you today. If they can't offer a reasonable explanation, then they are deliberately causing trouble in my territory.

Hua Manchun shook his fan and smiled, "I am a straightforward person, Fifth Young Master, please don't mind."

Many heroes have come to congratulate the Fifth Young Master today, but perhaps Fifth Young Master isn't very bright, mistakenly believing that these heroes are showing him respect.

Actually, everyone here knows that we are here to give Li Qi face. We value this junior's ability, which is why we are willing to support him. Old Pan, am I right?

Pan Dehai waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Li Qi and I have a real bond, but we might be a little different."

Hua Manchun smiled, "Affection is unreliable; what's reliable is capital. Fifth Young Master, I truly mean no offense by speaking to you, but you don't yet have the capital to speak to me."

Brother Li Qi, I'm telling you this: my presence here today proves that we are destined to meet.

I'd like to be your friend.

But if you can't seize this opportunity and keep these friends, then our future is another story.

Brother Li Qi, don't you agree?

Upon hearing this, Li Banfeng suddenly realized. "So you're trying to reason with me. I thought this had nothing to do with me."

Hua Manchun frowned and said, "If it weren't for your business, do you think someone of my status would be here?"

Li Banfeng thought carefully for a moment and then asked, "What is your identity?"

Hua Manchun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and Pan Dehai quickly explained, "Brother Li Qi, this is Hua Manchun, the owner of the Flower Immortal Manor. Flower Immortal Manor is a Proper Land."

Li Banfeng was quite surprised. "How come I've never heard of a place called Flower Immortal Manor?"

Hua Manchun was plucking the long feathers off the feather fan one by one, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with Li Qi's attitude.

Pan Dehai quickly explained, "Brother Li Qi, it's not right for you to say you've never heard of the Flower Immortal Manor. Flower Immortal Manor so famous in Pro State, how could you not have heard of it?"

But if you say you've never been to the Flower Immortal Manor, that's understandable. Flower Immortal Manor has rules: it only accepts women, not men. We men can't even enter the manor.

Li Banfeng asked in astonishment, "His estate doesn't accept men? Then is the estate owner a man or a woman?"

Hua Manchun's face turned pale, Pan Dehai chuckled dryly and said, "Brother, stop joking. Master Hua is a master of the Joy Cultivator Sect. In terms of combat strength, almost no one among the Local Earth God can match Master Hua."

This is no exaggeration; Hua Manchun is indeed a formidable fighter. Feng Daiku has fought him for so many years and has never gained the upper hand.

Ma Wu also understood some things from this. Feng Daiku's eagerness to take over the Soda Kiln must have been partly due to Hua Manchun.

Hua Manchun had always been concerned about Belt Ridge. If Feng Daiku hold the territory, having Soda Kiln would at least give him a way out.

Li Banfeng was also surprised. "Almost unmatched? So you're saying he's even better than Green Flower?"

Mentioning Green Flower, Hua Manchun, who was originally furious, softened her gaze considerably.

Pan Dehai's tone softened considerably. "Well, of course, Green Water Bow is a special case—"

No Local Earth God in Pro State can compare to Green Water Bow.

This is also one of the reasons why Hua Manchun is wary of Li Qi. According to rumors, Li Qi and Green Water Bow have an extraordinary relationship, and the Three-Headed People he acquired are closely related to Green Water Bow.

Hua Manchun said, "Brother Li Qi, let's talk about our friendship later. Today, let's just talk about my matter with Feng Daiku. I was trying to discuss things with her in a good way, but she made sarcastic remarks in front of so many people. Let's stick to the facts. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

His purpose in coming here today and causing this scene is singular: to force Li Banfeng to make a statement.

In his view, Li Qi must be a smart person to have been able to befriend Green Water Bow. In Hua Manchun's mind, smart people only care about interests and have no feelings.

Based on this, it can be inferred that Li Qi would definitely try to win Hua Manchun's support, because Hua Manchun is stronger, and he is Feng Daiku in terms of combat power, influence, and economic strength.

For Hua Manchun, the ideal outcome would be to pressure Feng Daiku into giving up Belt Ridge voluntarily through Li Banfeng's pressure.

Of course, if Feng Daiku refuses to give up and causes conflict between her and Li Qi, that would be a pretty good outcome. Without Li Qi as a backer, Belt Ridge would eventually be his again.

Li Banfeng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I still don't understand. Which part of Miss Feng was sarcastic?"

Hua Manchun frowned again. Why was Li Qi still dwelling on this matter? Was he even a smart person?

Since the question had been asked, Hua Manchun had no choice but to give a reason. "Everyone listen carefully, I want to offer a lot of my belongings in exchange for Belt Ridge Miss Feng, whether I exchange it or not is irrelevant, just give me an answer."

She told me she was incredibly wealthy, and even suggested I ask around elsewhere. What does that mean? Does she think I'm a beggar?

"You think this is sarcasm?" Li Banfeng stared at the palm-leaf fan in Hua Manchun's hand for a while, then Thread-Pulling Earring and said, "Master, his palm-leaf fan isn't moving."

Not only was there no movement, but it also seemed to have no temperature.

Hua Manchun said, "Isn't this considered sarcasm? Could you please tell me what sarcasm is?"

Li Banfeng stared at Hua Manchun's headscarf again, but saw nothing unusual. He could basically confirm that this was Hua Manchun herself.

He asked him to explain what sarcasm meant, so Li Banfeng gave him a proper explanation. "Today, our fifth brother is reclaiming wasteland. Everyone who is here has given us brothers face. Please sit down and have a drink, and toast our fifth brother separately. Then we can consider this matter settled."

If you don't want to give me this face, and you don't want to drink this wine, then please get lost. Get as far away as you can.

That's called sarcasm, sarcasm slapped right in the face. Can you understand that?

Hua Manchun stood there stunned. He hadn't expected Li Banfeng to have this attitude. "Brother Li Qi, the world is a long and winding road. It's hard to say who will end up in whose hands. You shouldn't have made such a definitive statement."

Li Banfeng looked at Hua Manchun and said, "Forget about how the mountains and rivers are turning, let's talk about how you're turning right now. If you want to roll, you really have to turn faster."

Hua Manchun gritted his teeth. He first looked at Pan Dehai, Pan Dehai lowered his head and remained silent.

He then looked at Ma Junyang, Ma Wu extended his hand, saying, "Master Hua, please make yourself at home."

Several Local Earth God stood by and watched coldly, none of them stepping forward to ease the situation.

Hua Manchun turned and left. After he had gone far away, Pan Dehai thought of doing a good deed, "Brother Li Qi, why did you do this? It's not easy to offend Master Hua."

"Did I offend him?" Li Banfeng was quite surprised. "I'll go talk to him in a couple of days. Since he's Miss Feng's neighbor, we should really keep in touch."

"Brother Li Qi, don't be joking."

"I'm telling the truth. I genuinely think he's a good person, and I should invite him over to my home sometime."

"Brother, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester."

While verbally trying to reconcile them, Pan Dehai knew in his heart that the feud between the two was irreconcilable. Li Qi had completely offended Hua Manchun, Hua Manchun's temperament, she would never let Li Qi off easily. Whether Li Qi could escape unscathed probably depended on whether his backer was willing to help him.

However, it's not necessarily a bad deal in this matter. Feng Daiku and the other Local Earth God look at Li Qi differently now.

From now on, Feng Daiku will have more trust in Li Qi, and the other Local Earth God will have more reverence for Li Qi.

Dou Jiyan, the Local Earth God, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Seventh Brother, this is our first meeting. I didn't bring much, only two jars of good wine. I'm giving one to Fifth Brother and the other to you. This wine can heal injuries and has excellent medicinal properties. It's a gift from afar, so please don't find it offensive."

"Not at all," Li Banfeng said with a smile, "What's your name, young lady?"

Dou Jiyan looked young, with two braids hanging down her shoulders, one on each side. She appeared to be under twenty, with a cute and playful appearance, and kept calling him "Seventh Brother".

Please don't take this seriously; there's no way to determine this person's actual age.

Feng Daiku expression, "This is Thousand Liang Workshop Dou Jiyan, also known as Miss Dou."

Li Banfeng quickly thanked her, Dou Jiyan secretly asked, "Seventh Brother, guess what sect I belong to?"

It's impolite to ask someone for directions when you've just met them, but unexpectedly Dou Jiyan took the initiative to let Li Qi guess.

Let's guess then.

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "Miss Dou gave us some good wine, so she must be a wine connoisseur."

Dou Jiyan shook her head and said, "You're really wrong. I'm not a wine connoisseur; I got this wine from somewhere else."

Let me give you a heads-up: don't you think my name is strange? Actually, my original name wasn't Dou Jiyan. It's just that Thousand Liang Workshop is a place known for gambling, and I like gambling too. I especially love cockfighting, and I have a particularly good eye for it.

The fighting roosters I picked always won at gambling. People said I had a keen eye for spotting fighting roosters, so they gave me the nickname "Cross-Eyed Rooster."

I know they're laughing at me, and I'm not afraid of their laughter. I've simply given myself a new name: Dou Jiyan. Now you know what sect I belong to, right?

Li Banfeng suddenly realized. "So it's Chicken Cultivator!"

"There's no such thing as a 'Chicken Cultivator' sect," Dou Jiyan waved her hand and said, "I'm just saying my eyes are good!"

"So it was eye repair."

"It's not eye repair!" Dou Jiyan laughed. "Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"

Li Banfeng didn't laugh; he guessed very seriously. "What kind of sect is it?"

"I'm a gambling expert; I win every time I gamble!"

"So he's a gambling cultivator," Li Banfeng suddenly realized again. "Miss Dou, I have a friend who is also a gambling cultivator. He's a kind and generous person. I'll definitely introduce him to you another day."

The guests took their seats, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts. The Local Earth God of the new land promised to provide a batch of Strange Monsters to Ma Wu's territory for testing purposes.

The Proper Land Local Earth God also made a promise, but it was rather vague. Pan Dehai and Dou Jiyan promised to take better care of Ma Wu in the future.

Once Sha Dingzhong and the others had brought the Strange Monsters one after another, the land reclamation began.

Previously, when He Yuxiu was reclaiming the wasteland, these Local Earth God caused her trouble, but now that they have provided support to Chu Er and Ma Wu, the feud can be considered over.

But some people still haven't gotten over their grudges.

On the edge of the new land, a woman concealed herself, quietly observing the bustling scene on the ground.

The woman was beautiful, with a broad forehead, round face, delicate eyebrows and curved eyes, cherry-like lips, and delicate and well-proportioned features. Her long hair was tied up, with two strands close to her cheeks, making her look even more gentle and charming.

She had an even better figure, well-proportioned yet slightly delicate, especially her slender waist, which was truly so small that it could be encircled with one hand. Under the cover of her long dress, she looked like a beauty from a traditional Chinese ink painting.

She was the Local Earth God of the new land, with Chu Yaoqian.

When He Yuxiu was organizing Three-Headed People to reclaim wasteland in the area, Chu Yaoqian sent Bagworm Moth Madam, A'Rou to test her, which almost led to a fight between He Yuxiu and A'Rou.

Li Banfeng still remembered this grudge. After taking over the territory of Luhuo Wang, Li Banfeng specially gave himself the name Chu Yao Han, so that if anything unexpected happened in the future, he would have to take revenge on her.

If Chu Yaoqian were to step forward now, apologize to Li Qi, and send over a few of the Strange Monsters from the region as a token of her apology, the matter could be resolved.

But she hesitated because she was late.

When Chu Er acquired the new land, she didn't go to show her support. When she arrived at Ma Wu's place, she was late again. She was worried that Li Qi would not give her a good look, and hesitated, not knowing whether she should show up.

Forget it, let's go.

Among the Local Earth God of the new land, Chu Yaoqian had some reputation. If she were to be ridiculed by Li Qi, it would be a real loss of face for her.

After walking for more than ten miles, Chu Yaoqian felt a little regretful.

Being ridiculed a couple of times isn't a big deal. Just act cute and humble yourself towards Li Qi, send him some Strange Monsters items as a token of your appreciation, and you can not only resolve a grudge but also make a friend.

This friend is very important to her.

She had heard about Hua Manchun's situation, and she knew that Li Qi had embarrassed Hua Manchun in public.

Chu Yaoqian has suffered a lot of bullying from Hua Manchun over the years. If she could find a powerful backer, her future would be better.

Walking and stopping, Chu Yaoqian remained undecided, but in the mountains and forests, she could vaguely hear laughter.

With a slight frown, Chu Yaoqian asked, "Which gang are you from? Would you dare to come out and meet me?"

A young man dressed in white approached Chu Yaoqian, bowed deeply, and said, "My name is He Jiaqing, and I greet Miss Chu."

"The First Young Master of the He Family?" Chu Yaoqian had heard of He Jiaqing's reputation. He was wanted in both the Outer State and Inner State. It was said that he had recently joined forces with others to kill Zhang Gunli. She did not expect to meet him here. Chu Yaoqian immediately became vigilant.

He Jiaqing looked into the distance and said, "Miss Chu, are you going to congratulate Ma Junyang?"

Chu Yaoqian nodded and said, "I did have this plan. I have some connections with Li Qi and Ma Wu, and it is indeed appropriate to send them a congratulatory gift on such an auspicious day."

He Jiaqing shook his head and sighed, "If they really had a relationship, the young lady wouldn't be so hesitant."

With a slight pout, Chu Yaoqian said helplessly, "It's all my fault for oversleeping and missing the appointed time. Going now..."

But I was afraid people would say I lacked manners.

"If it's just a matter of being impolite, then it's easy to resolve. But if it's a matter of grudges, I advise you not to go. Li Qi is a vengeful person, and some things can't be resolved with just a few words."

Chu Yaoqian: "What grudge could there be between me and Li Qi?"

He Jiaqing said, "He Yuxiu is my aunt. Do you really think I don't know what you did on the day she cleared the land?"

Having her secret exposed, Chu Yaoqian didn't argue. "This was done on orders from the Inner State. I wasn't the only one who offended Li Qi back then. If others can resolve their differences, why can't I?"

"Miss Chu, it's not necessarily a bad thing that the feud can't be resolved. You know that Inner State's orders are hard to disobey. The Local Earth God Xindi has a contract in Inner State's hands. If we can't get the contract back, our lives will be in Inner State's hands."

Today you come to Ma Wu's place to offer your congratulations, but tomorrow, Inner State suddenly turns against you. You should know what the consequences will be.

Chu Yaoqian lowered her head and remained silent; she had indeed been worried about this matter.

He Jiaqing continued, "I love making friends, and I treat all my friends like brothers and sisters. If Miss Chu is willing to be my friend, I will find a way to help her get the other half of the contract back."

With Chu Yaoqian, she asked, "Is that really true?"

He Jiaqing nodded and said, "It's true."

Chu Yaoqian didn't rush to express her opinion. Taking contracts from within the Inner State? She had never heard of such a thing before.

However, He Jiaqing was no ordinary person; he was capable of killing Zhang Gunli.

Outer State searched for him, Inner State searched for him, and even Green Flower wanted to kill him, yet he's still alive today. Perhaps he truly has that ability.

With some doubt, Chu Yaoqian first raised a relatively easy question, "My territory is right next to the Flower Immortal Manor, and I have some disagreements with Manor Owner Hua Manchun. If Young Master He could offer some assistance, I would be extremely grateful."

He Jiaqing nodded and said, "I'll handle this for you. We'll go to the Flower Immortal Manor right away. As long as you're willing to be my friend, I guarantee that Hua Manchun will never dare to make things difficult for you again."

Upon hearing Chu Yaoqian said with a slight blush, "Then I will thank Young Master He in advance."

He Jiaqing said, "As I just said, I consider all my friends as brothers and sisters. From now on, I'll call Miss Chu 'elder sister.' What do you think, Miss?"

Chu Yaoqian lowered her head and said, "How can that be? We don't consider age, only prestige. I'll just call you Brother He!"

P. S.: Go to the Inner State to get the deed? Is that really possible?
