Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing, Li Sancai, and Wang Xuan had been waiting outside all along.
Shortly after, Lu Yuanyuan brought Xu Mingsheng out, one before the other.
Xu Mingsheng immediately apologized: "Dao Friend, I'm truly sorry!"
Xu Zhangqing looked at the shoe print on the other's face and suddenly understood: "This person—isn't he the one who forced me and another female spirit farmer to sell rice at my first Hongfeng Valley Market?"
"Cough." Lu Yuanyuan coughed lightly.
Xu Mingsheng's body trembled, and he immediately pulled out fifty middle-grade spirit stones from his storage bag: "It was my greed that hurt your business and caused your friend serious injury; this is a small compensation."
Xu Zhangqing did not take them immediately, but looked at Li Sancai beside him with a questioning gaze; seeing the other nod slightly, he then took the fifty middle-grade spirit stones.
Seeing this, Xu Mingsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he was very puzzled inside; he had clearly investigated, but this Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue had no real background or connections at all.
One was a Formal Disciple at Foundation Establishment Stage in the Water Control Pavilion.
The other was a Formal Disciple at Qi Refining Stage in the Spirit Beast Valley.
Precisely because of this, he thought the two were easy to bully, and using the name of Xing Nong to scare them should be enough to snatch away Zhuqi Peak's business.
Unexpectedly, this rarely appearing third person actually managed to find Li Lingbi's cousin, and even alarmed his direct superior Lu Yuanyuan—truly unbelievable.
However, Xu Mingsheng did not recognize Xu Zhangqing; they had only met once, and back then Xu Zhangqing had used a fake name.
At this moment, Lu Yuanyuan stepped forward and smiled: "I should also thank you all; if you hadn't spoken up, who knows how much longer this fellow would have deceived us."
Li Sancai saluted: "Where, where; Daoist Lu being able to step forward and take charge, and resolve this matter with us, is truly a beauty with a kind heart!"
Flattered by Li Lingbi's cousin, Lu Yuanyuan was in high spirits and immediately asked: "If so, then this matter is settled?"
Li Sancai and Xu Zhangqing exchanged glances, then nodded: "Yes, settled!"
Lu Yuanyuan blinked: "Then are we still going to talk about the first matter?"
"We are." Li Sancai gave an affirmative reply.
Afterward, he and Lu Yuanyuan entered the room to discuss the first matter, namely the various spirit plants Li Lingbi currently needed.
Instead, Xu Zhangqing, Xu Mingsheng, and Wang Xuan looked at each other, all more or less a bit awkward.
Fortunately, not long after, Li Sancai and Lu Yuanyuan walked out of the room together laughing; obviously the discussion was finished.
Li Sancai said to Xu Zhangqing: "Junior Brother, take Wang Xuan with you."
"Alright." Xu Zhangqing tilted his head at Wang Xuan, who was sweating cold sweat beside him.
Soon, the three walked toward the outside of the trading point.
Xu Mingsheng stared fixedly at Wang Xuan's back, gnashing his teeth.
If the other had been even a little tougher, he himself wouldn't have ended up like this.
Lu Yuanyuan said coldly: "What, you still plan to take revenge?"
"No, how dare I take revenge on Li Lingbi's people!" Xu Mingsheng shrank his neck.
……
……
Xu Zhangqing, Li Sancai, and Wang Xuan came to the outside of the trading point's door.
Li Sancai sized up Wang Xuan, who kept trembling without stopping, then waved his hand: "You go."
Wang Xuan was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief, and asked tentatively: "I... I can leave?"
Li Sancai shrugged: "If you don't leave, are you waiting for Xu Mingsheng to take revenge on you?"
"Go, I'm leaving now, thank you both for sparing my life!" Wang Xuan came to his senses, turned around and ran, not daring to linger here for even a second.
However, having offended Xu Mingsheng, Xu Zhangqing, and Array Master Han Xin, his days ahead would probably not be easy.
At this moment, Xu Zhangqing said: "Senior Brother, actually I lied just now."
Li Sancai smiled slightly: "I know."
Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Ah? You know?"
A gleam flashed in Li Sancai's eyes as he said firmly: "Zhuqi Peak setting up stalls really can earn that much money in a day; it wouldn't be your turn anyway."
Actually, he had also lied; Zhao Ziyue was clearly not injured, but now he was "seriously injured."
The reason for saying this was purely to make Lu Yuanyuan take this matter seriously, especially to get more during compensation.
From this it could be seen that the two had quite a tacit understanding; without prior discussion, they instead cooperated very well.
Xu Zhangqing took out the fifty middle-grade spirit stones Xu Mingsheng had given: "Senior Brother, if it weren't for your help this time, the matter definitely wouldn't have been resolved."
Li Sancai didn't even look at them: "This is compensation for you; keep it yourself."
"Uh."
Seeing that the other didn't want to accept it, Xu Zhangqing weighed it in his mind and said: "Then how about this: from now on, every month you will receive two tenths of our earnings at Zhuqi Peak."
"If I were after spirit stones..." Li Sancai furrowed his brow.
However, before he could finish, Xu Zhangqing hurriedly interrupted: "Senior Brother, just don't refuse."
Seeing the other's completely sincere expression, Li Sancai had no choice but to agree: "Fine."
Afterward, Xu Zhangqing began searching for Han Xin, but found the other had already left; with no choice, he could only find another time to thank him.
Half an hour later, Xu Zhangqing returned home, saw that Wangwang and the Pearl Chicken were fine, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out a communication talisman to contact Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue.
Not long after, the two arrived together.
Hu Bugui asked hurriedly, "Lao Xu, how did things go?"
Zhao Ziyue at the side also watched with a nervous expression.
Xu Zhangqing replied, "As of now, the matter counts as resolved. That fellow called Xu Mingsheng has already apologized to us, and even paid compensation."
Finished speaking, he took out fifty Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Seeing so many spirit stones, Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue both stared wide-eyed.
Xu Zhangqing continued, "Same as always: I take seven-tenths, Lao Hu two-tenths, Lao Zhao one-tenth."
"No problem." The two had no objections whatsoever.
In the end, Xu Zhangqing obtained 35 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Hu Bugui received 10 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
As for Zhao Ziyue, this "heavily injured" person, got 5 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Looking at the happy two, Xu Zhangqing could not smile; with a grave face he said, "There is another matter I need to discuss with you."
"What?" Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue suddenly tensed up.
Xu Zhangqing said seriously, "Senior Brother Li Sancai helped the most in this matter. To express gratitude, I gave him two-tenths of the profit."
Hearing this, Hu Bugui fell directly silent.
Zhao Ziyue first froze for a moment, then nodded to show understanding: "It should be so. This time it was indeed I who acted impulsively; I shouldn't have gambled with that fellow. My one-tenth is gone then."
Seeing the two were not angry, Xu Zhangqing continued, "First allocate two-tenths of the total profit to Senior Brother Li; the remaining eight-tenths are still divided according to the previous ratio!!!"
