Deal!

Chen Xiaojun and Chen Cong exchanged a glance, both seemingly weighing the merits of the proposal.

"Deal!" Chen Xiaojun extended his hand and sealed the agreement with a high five from Xixi. He continued, "It looks like Sea God Island can open another consulate in Chang'an City. Our cooperation will grow even closer, and together, we'll forge a brand-new future!"

"With our two families leading the way, I'm certain this market will be a tremendous success," Chen Xiaojun said confidently.

As Xixi listened to Chen Xiaojun, a satisfied smile gradually spread across her face. Her eyes shone brightly, as though she could already see Sea God Island and the Chen Clan working closely together in the future.

For Sea God Island, this partnership was not merely an economic opportunity, but also a major strategic decision.

Long Ma smiled as well, his smile revealing both steadiness and deep thought.

As an important figure on Sea God Island, he had supported entering the continent and forming an alliance with the Chen Clan from the outset, albeit cautiously.

Long Ma knew that the continent had four hegemonic superpowers: Spirit Hall and the Three Great Neutral Organizations.

However, Spirit Hall was the Angel God's domain, while the Plant Association and Xuan Ye Pavilion had evolved from churches and still handled certain matters of faith.

As Sea God Island was likewise a church devoted to a deity, maintaining some distance from these powers was a wise choice.

Meanwhile, numerous families stood behind Soul Fighting City. By comparison, the Chen Clan, with its broad influence and a model centered on investment and equity stakes, became a more reasonable choice for Sea God Island.

This model aligned with Sea God Island's approach to development and better suited its preferences, making cooperation between the two sides more feasible
