Chapter 315

What Liu Bo said is correct; Li Xin's reputation on Aodao is indeed high.

Liu Bo had just left when Yiqun Yulancan came to pay a visit, his etiquette was very thorough—first he sent a calling card, then he waited for a meeting.

Li Xin came downstairs and personally greeted Yulancan, giving him plenty of face.

This is their first meeting; Li Xin took the lead in clasping his fists and said, 'Brother Can, you're a senior of the martial world—how could I let you come see me?'

Mountain Chief

Li Xin, this guy, is friendly to anyone as long as there's no conflict of interest—he always puts on a big smile.

Yulancan felt very honored; although Immortal Trust had retired from the martial world, he still held the position of Mountain Chief of Hongfa Mountain.

This is something no martial-world Big Brother could describe; he has already stepped out of that small martial-world circle and become a true Big Brother.

No one in the martial world can compare; they are not on the same level!

'Mr. Li, it's my impertinence to disturb you—there's no question of being rude!'

'The favor Mr. Li gave me, I've always kept in my heart; I just never had the chance to thank you in person, which is why I've come uninvited.'

Yu Lan Can

After Yulancan finished speaking, he looked around; whenever he saw someone he knew, he nodded, just wanting to let this bunch of losers see his prestige.

Li Xin saw this guy wanting to show off, so he went along and said, 'Brother Can, okay!'

'We're all friends—don't call me Mr. Li, it sounds distant; just call me A Xin.'

Yulancan's smile instantly blossomed like a flower, but he also didn't dare to take advantage.

'Mr. Li, if you can give Yulancan face, I won't be ungrateful; otherwise, the martial-world friends will laugh at us!'

'The first time giving face, that's Mr. Li's benevolence and righteousness; the second time eating meat, I couldn't possibly act as if nothing happened.'

'Today, I, Yulancan, have come to pay my respects at Mr. Li's dock; from now on, Mr. Li's affairs are my affairs.'

Li Xin saw this guy was a bit showy, and whispered, 'You damn it, if you don't restrain yourself and use me as a stepping stone, I'll kill you.'

Li Xin's ladder isn't for just anyone to use—if the connection isn't right, you'll easily fall to your death!

Upon hearing that, Yulancan's face stiffened; somewhat embarrassed, he replied softly, 'Mr. Li, sorry, the pressure got to me—I let success go to my head.'

Looking at Yu Lan Can, he asked, "Can you let this old hand lose his bearings? The pressure Huo Ya Ju puts on you is this great?"

Yu Lan Can's face flushed slightly. "Mr. Li, since the Water House withdrew from Aodao, Huo Ya Ju has become increasingly arrogant and has already moved against me!"

I want a piece of this casino's operating rights this time, and I hope Mr. Li will support me.

What can I get?

Twenty percent; each month I will transfer twenty percent of the profits to Mr. Li's account.

Then do you know or not, Huo Ya Ju has Mr. He's support?

Thirty percent!

Huo Ya Ju wields great power, and we still have some incense ties between us.

Mr. Li, forty percent—that's the most I can offer; otherwise I'll have to give up.

Li Xin laughed and said, "Brother Can, even if you gave me everything, it would be useless; what I want isn't this—think about it."

After Bo Hau went in, Yu Lan Can could still get by to this day—his mind is still sharp.

He immediately laughed and replied, "Mr. Li, the situation in Aodao is now complex; I am isolated and helpless. I heard that the dragon head of Prosperity, Mr. Luo, has just taken office, and I am willing to offer a flower."

Li Xin looked at him and asked, "Brother Can, Prosperity can't give you a substantive post—only an empty title of Second Route Marshal."

Yu Lan Can said: "Mr. Li, I truly don't care about these; as long as there's money to be made, even if you give me a Second Route Marshal position, or even just a big-shot identity, it's fine."

"I'm not young anymore; I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to make some retirement money, and as long as I have a place to retire in the future, that's fine."

"Mr. Li's Xi Gong is a very good choice."

Li Xin smiled and said: "No problem, that's settled. After this matter is over, Tianhong will await Brother Can's arrival on Gangdao."

"After I return to Gangdao, I'll go to Red Pillar to see Brother Hao, handle this matter neatly, and leave no loose ends."

Yu Lan Can clasped his hands in thanks: "Mr. Li, your benevolence and righteousness, I will prepare a big gift for Brother Hao; please Mr. Li, convey it on my behalf."

Li Xin waved his hand: "No need, Prosperity still has this bit of money; we'll give Brother Hao a proper show."

In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the two concluded a PY deal!

After Yu Lan Can left, Broken-tooth Colt closely followed over for a visit, and the process was gone through again.

Still the same room, only the time is different, the topic hasn't changed!

Broken-tooth Colt clasped his hands and said: "Red Pole Yin Guo-yu of the Hong Gate's Hongfa Mountain, pays respects to the Mountain Chief."

Li Xin was astonished; this damn Hongfa Mountain is just an empty shell, and Broken-tooth Colt being able to pay respects using Hongfa Mountain's identity is something he never expected.

Li Xin furrowed his brows: "Brother Colt, you need to think this through; Hongfa Mountain isn't so easily acknowledged! You don't need to do this!"

Broken-tooth Colt again clasped his hands and paid respects: "Red Pole Yin Guo-yu of the Hong Gate's Hongfa Mountain, pays respects to the Mountain Chief; having entered this mountain, I have no regrets even in death."

Broken-tooth Colt didn't want to do this either, but his advisor Xiao Liao told him: "If you don't enter the mountain gate, what will the Immortal Trust rely on to support you?"

"The Immortal Trust doesn't talk about Gangdao's power, but about Aodao; Mr. He hasn't expressed his stance yet, so we must find a backer."

"Otherwise, we'll be rootless duckweed, without any foundation!"

"In the jianghu, being able to fight isn't enough; it's whether your backing is strong that matters."

This is why Broken-tooth Colt bowed his head; being inferior in strength, he must lower himself.

Li Xin rose, helped Broken-tooth Colt up, and said with a smile: "Brother Colt, you've accepted the Hongmen identity; I won't turn you away at the door, after all, Hongmen is a brotherhood."

"There's no reason to keep a brother outside the door; that makes no sense anywhere."

"However, your way forward isn't here with me; with your talent, you should understand my words and find the right path!"

……

Huoya Ju returned to Dao Tu Di, found Xiao Liao, and retold the whole story of his meeting with Li Xin.

Only then did he speak up and ask: "Xiao Liao, what do you mean by Immortal Trust?"

If it weren't for the profit, Huoya Ju would never bow his head so easily.

Well, look, this is the martial world—when there's profit to be had, you can bow your head!!

Xiao Liao replied with a smile: "Brother Ju, our opportunity has come!"

"Immortal Trust has acknowledged your identity; given his relationship with the He Family, securing the contract for a casino should pose no problem."

"He hasn't taken you as his disciple; the only possibility is that Mr. He also thinks highly of you, and he dares not take you on."

"With support from both sides, we now just see how much we can take."

There are always some smart alecks who complicate simple matters!

Li Xin simply didn't want to get too involved in the casino contract matter; they could all infer several meanings from that.

People's hearts are complex, each has their own understanding—this has been true since ancient times!

Those who fully grasp wealth and honor, and those whose understanding is skewed, can only serve as the king's vanguard.
