Brothers Reunited

"No helping it. I gained quite a bit from this seclusion and finally broke through to the Fourth Heaven of Foundation Establishment Realm. Otherwise, I'd have been too embarrassed to come see you."

Li Yunjing had spurred Fu Chao so fiercely that Fu Chao had resolved to spend his time either in seclusion or out adventuring. That was how he had achieved what he had today.

Fu Chao's words took Li Yunjing by surprise!

Surprise flashed through his eyes. He looked Fu Chao up and down, then smiled. "Not bad! Looks like you've put in plenty of work over the years."

"Let's not get into it!"

Fu Chao waved a hand. "I'm still a long way behind you! I hear you've been riding high lately. You've even made the Star Moon Trading Firm a thriving business."

"Back then, you asked me to invest, and I turned my nose up at it! Never thought I'd be such a poor judge."

Li Yunjing smiled. "Would I steer you wrong? It's not too late to invest. I've opened three shops in the East Sea, and the Star Moon Trading Firm has five now!"

"I know!"

Fu Chao considered it for a moment. "I asked about you after I returned to the sect, too! But forget the investment. Wouldn't I just be taking advantage of you? How could I do that?"

"What's the problem?"

Li Yunjing waved it off with a smile. "You're welcome to invest anytime!"

There was nothing polite or perfunctory about that offer!

Li Yunjing treasured Fu Chao's friendship. Apart from the women in his life, no one was closer to him than this fellow.

He was close to Ma Xingyuan, too!

But that fat man was too weak to be of much help to Li Yunjing!

Fu Chao was different!
