The Matter Was Temporarily Resolved, but Favors Must Be Repaid (1/3)
Xu Changqing, Li Sancai, and Wang Xuan waited outside.
A moment later, Lu Yuanyuan led Xu Mingsheng out, one after the other.
Xu Mingsheng immediately apologized. "Fellow Daoist, I'm so sorry!"
Xu Changqing looked at the shoe print on the other person's face and suddenly realized, "Isn't this the person who forced me and another female Spirit Farmer to sell rice the first time I participated in the Red Maple Valley Market?"
"Ahem." Lu Yuanyuan coughed lightly.
Xu Mingsheng trembled and immediately took out fifty Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag: "It was my greed that caused your business to suffer and your friend to be seriously injured. This is a small compensation."
Xu Changqing did not immediately take the money, but looked at Li Sancai beside him with a questioning look. After seeing the other party nod slightly, he then took the fifty Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Seeing this, Xu Mingsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was actually very puzzled. He had already investigated and found that Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue didn't have much background or connections at all.
One is a formal Foundation Establishment Realm formal disciple in the Water-Control Pavilion.
One of them is formal disciple of the Beast Spirit Valley in the Qi Refining Realm.
That's why they thought the two were easy to bully; they figured they could intimidate them with the name of Farmer's Heart Society and snatch away the business from Foundry Peak.
Unexpectedly, this rarely seen third party managed to find Li Lingbi's cousin and even alarmed his boss, Lu Yuanyuan. It was truly unbelievable.
However, Xu Mingsheng did not recognize Xu Changqing. The two had only met once, and at that time, Xu Changqing was using a fake name.
At this moment, Lu Yuanyuan stepped forward and said with a smile, "I should also thank you all. If you hadn't spoken up, I don't know how much longer we would have been fooled by this guy."
Li Sancai cupped his hands in greeting. "Not at all, Fellow Daoist Lu is truly kind-hearted and beautiful to step forward and take charge of the situation, working with us to resolve this matter!"
Being flattered by Li Lingbi's cousin put Lu Yuanyuan in a good mood, and she immediately asked, "In that case, is this matter over?"
Li Sancai and Xu Changqing exchanged a glance, then Li Sancai nodded. "Yes, it's over!"
Lu Yuanyuan blinked. "So, shall we still talk about the first thing?"
"Let's talk," Li Sancai replied affirmatively.
Then, he and Lu Yuanyuan went into the room to talk about the first thing, which was the various Spirit Plant that Li Lingbi needed.
On the contrary, Xu Changqing, Xu Mingsheng, and Wang Xuan looked at each other, and the three of them were more or less a little awkward.
Fortunately, not long after, Li Sancai and Lu Yuanyuan walked out of the room together, laughing, clearly having finished their conversation.
Li Sancai said to Xu Changqing, "Junior brother, let's take Wang Xuan with us."
"Okay." Xu Changqing tilted his head at Wang Xuan, who was sweating profusely beside him.
Soon, the three of them walked out of the trading point.
Xu Mingsheng stared intently at Wang Xuan's retreating figure, gritting his teeth.
If the other party had been even a little bit tougher, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
Lu Yuanyuan said coldly, "What, you're planning to take revenge?"
"No, how could I dare to retaliate against Li Lingbi's people!" Xu Mingsheng shrank back.
Xu Changqing, Li Sancai, and Wang Xuan arrived outside the trading point.
Li Sancai glanced at Wang Xuan, who was trembling incessantly, then waved his hand and said, "You can go now."
Wang Xuan was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief, and tentatively asked, "Can... I leave now?"
Li Sancai shrugged. "If you don't leave, are you just waiting to be retaliated against by Xu Mingsheng?"
"I'm leaving now, thank you both for sparing my life!" Wang Xuan realized what was happening and turned to run away, not daring to linger here for even a second longer.
However, having offended Xu Mingsheng, Xu Changqing, and the array master Han Xin, his future days are likely to be difficult.
At this moment, Xu Changqing said, "Senior brother, actually I lied just now."
Li Sancai smiled slightly, "I know."
Xu Changqing was surprised. "Ah? You know?"
Li Sancai's eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he said confidently, "Even if you could make that much money setting up a stall on Foundry Peak, it wouldn't be up to you few."
He was actually lying; Zhao Ziyue was clearly not injured, but was now described as "seriously wounded."
The reason for saying this was purely to make Lu Yuanyuan take this matter seriously, especially so that she could get more compensation.
This shows that the two have a good understanding and cooperate very well even without prior discussion.
Xu Changqing took out the fifty Mid-Grade Spirit Stone that Xu Mingsheng had given him. "Senior brother, if it weren't for your help this time, things definitely wouldn't have been so easy to resolve."
Li Sancai didn't even glance at it. "This is compensation for you, keep it for yourselves."
"Well."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to accept it, Xu Changqing weighed the options in his mind and said, "Then how about this, every month from now on, you will receive 20% of our profits from the Foundry Peak."
"If I were after the Spirit Stone..." Li Sancai frowned.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xu Changqing quickly interrupted, "Senior brother, please don't refuse."
Seeing the other person's sincere expression, Li Sancai had no choice but to agree, "Alright."
Xu Changqing then began searching for Han Xin, only to find that she had already left. He had no choice but to find another time to thank her.
Half an hour later, Xu Changqing returned home and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wangwang and Pearl Chicken were both alright. He then took out Communication Talisman to contact Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue.
The two arrived together shortly afterward.
Hu Bugui hurriedly asked, "Old Xu, how did things go?"
Zhao Ziyue, standing beside him, also watched with a tense expression.
Xu Changqing replied, "The matter is considered resolved for now. That guy named Xu Mingsheng has apologized to us and even offered compensation."
After saying that, he took out fifty Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Upon seeing so many Spirit Stones, Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue both widened their eyes in astonishment.
Xu Changqing continued, "The same as always: I get 70%, Lao Hu gets 20%, and Lao Zhao."
"No problem." Neither of them had any objections.
In the end, Xu Changqing obtained 35 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Hu Bugui obtained 10 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
As for Zhao Ziyue, this "severely injured" person received 5 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Seeing the two happy people, Xu Changqing couldn't smile. With a serious face, he said, "There's something else I need to talk to you about."
"What?" Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue suddenly tensed up.
Xu Changqing said earnestly, "Senior Brother Li Sancai was the biggest help in this matter, so to express my gratitude, I gave him 20% of the profits."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bugui fell silent.
Zhao Ziyue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "I should have. I was impulsive this time. I shouldn't have gambled with that guy. My one percent is gone now."
Seeing that the two weren't angry, Xu Changqing continued, "Give Senior Brother Li 20% of the profits first, and the remaining 80% will be divided according to the previous ratio!!!"
