Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Seeing her reaction, Xu Zhangqing thoroughly confirmed that this so-called Lord Long was Long Xiyao.

It seemed Sun Peng's introduction was correct.

She indeed liked dressing as a man and then teasing others everywhere.

But what was the meaning of doing this?

For fun?

Or some other reason?

No one could do something for no reason at all.

For example, going to Yixiang Pavilion to drink flower wine was for relaxation.

In short, there must be some reason for doing this.

But never expected that the first time the two met, it would actually be inside a "brothel."

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing couldn't be bothered to expose the other's identity: "Sorry, I indeed mistook the person, I just happen to have a friend surnamed Long."

Having one's name spoken by a stranger, especially in an unfamiliar place, was enough to make most people panic, even feel fear.

Fortunately, Long Xiyao herself possessed the realm of Foundation Establishment Perfection, strength brought confidence, so her heart quickly calmed down, then she forced a calm nod: "Right, I just said you mistook the person."

"Then... Yue'er?" Xu Zhangqing blinked his eyes.

Long Xiyao said rather regretfully: "Today I'll let it to you."

After speaking she turned and left, and not long after left Yixiang Pavilion.

As for where she went, that was unclear.

Next, no one came to disturb.

Yue'er served Xu Zhangqing, drinking flower wine while watching the dance.

Until Zi Hour, the two entered the flower carriage and headed straight for the huge Dongqing Tree.

……

……

Time quickly came to the next morning.

Xu Zhangqing had just left Yixiang Pavilion when he received Sun Peng's notification.

"Dao Friend Cai, the person has been arranged!"

"You mean... Long Xiyao?"

"Right!"

"Where to meet?"

"The old place, the Yi-shaped Large Private Room on the third floor of Panchun Teahouse!"

"Fine, I'm going there now."

Ending the communication, Xu Zhangqing headed straight for the agreed location.

Even in his heart he was quite expectant, wanting to know what reaction the other would have upon seeing him.

And on the other side inside Panchun Teahouse, Sun Peng and Long Xiyao were waiting.

Youlan Mist Tea had already been brewed, the private room filled with a rich fragrance.

Today's Long Xiyao wore a water blue gradient ruqun.

The upper ru was short style, the xiu kou tightened, embroidered with white shell patterns.

The lower skirt was a high-waisted long skirt, the skirt hem embroidered with water ripple patterns.

Over it she wore a semi-transparent sheer shawl.

Sun Peng smiled lightly: "Dao Friend Long, you and Dao Friend Cai will definitely get along, after all both are immortal sect disciples, perhaps there will be more cooperation in the future."

Long Xiyao pouted: "Whether we can get along depends on first seeing his sincerity."

Regardless of market scale or number of cultivators, Xuanxin City was several times Dongqing City.

The Long Family painstakingly operated for over a hundred years before having today's status.

If the other still insisted on the 7:2:1 ratio, then cooperation was impossible.

In her view, wanting to open a wine shop in Xuanxin City, the Long Family must take the biggest share.

Just at this time, outside came "knock knock knock" knocking sounds.

Sun Peng hurriedly stood up: "Coming."

Long Xiyao also turned her gaze to the door position.

As the door "creaked" open, a familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared.

Saying familiar was because they had met twice recently, so they were familiar.

Saying unfamiliar was because except for last night and now, they had never met before.

Xu Zhangqing entered the private room, smiling and greeting: "Good morning, Dao Friend Long!"

Long Xiyao suddenly stood up, scrutinizing him up and down: "How is it you?"

Sun Peng's expression was stunned: "You know each other?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Barely count as knowing each other."

Sun Peng instantly became excited: "Since you know each other, then it's easy to talk."

Long Xiyao frowned, then said coldly, "I'll say it again: if you want to open a wine shop in Xuanxin City, our Long Family must take the biggest share."

Xu Zhangqing poured himself a cup of Youlan Mist Tea, took a light sip, and asked, "So, how much does your Long Family want?"

Long Xiyao sat down, raising her chin slightly: "In Xuanxin City, our Long Family is second only to the City Lord's Mansion. If you want to open a wine shop there, you must show the utmost sincerity.

Regardless, anything less than six-tenths is non-negotiable."

Sun Peng's eyes instantly went wide, his eyes full of shock: "Six-tenths?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Not bad, one-tenth less than I imagined."

Long Xiyao was surprised: "Then you agree?"

Xu Zhangqing set down his tea cup, grinning: "If I agreed, that would make me a complete fool."

"You..." Long Xiyao froze.

Xu Zhangqing kept smiling: "Dao Friend Long, I hope your Long Family understands one thing."

Long Xiyao subconsciously asked: "What?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at Sun Peng, who stood dazed beside him: "It's for the sake of the Sun Family's face that I'm willing to meet you.

In other words, it should be your Long Family begging to cooperate with me and showing the utmost sincerity to have a chance at obtaining the management rights to the Changqing Wine Shop's Xuanxin City branch. Please understand your position."

With these words, the distance to an open break was separated by only a layer of window paper.

At this moment, Sun Peng finally recovered from his shock, hurriedly waving his hands: "No, Dao Friend Cai, please don't be angry. Before, the Long Family clearly said 2 to 3 tenths profit, not six-tenths."

Xu Zhangqing instantly went "Oh", his expression quite playful: "I see, Dao Friend Long, you're deliberately retaliating against me!"

Long Xiyao crossed her arms at her waist, looking thoroughly righteous: "So what if I am?"

Xu Zhangqing stood up from his chair: "Then there's nothing to talk about. I still have to go back, I won't waste time here with you."

"Hmph!" Long Xiyao snorted softly, turning her face to the other side.

Sun Peng, sandwiched in the middle, instead felt a bit caught between a rock and a hard place.

After all, the result of the previous discussion with the Long Family truly wasn't six-tenths profit.

It was an increase from the original one-tenth profit to two-tenths or three-tenths.

But Long Xiyao is the clan representative; her words equal the Long Family's decision.

Unless she yields, but currently yielding seems unlikely.

Xu Zhangqing quickly walked to the gate, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned and shouted: "Dao Friend Long!"

"Hmm?" Long Xiyao still kept her head tilted, only her eyes glancing sideways toward the gate.

Xu Zhangqing hehe'd a laugh: "You don't want that matter to be... known by everyone, right."

He left directly after saying that, not pausing for a moment.

Hearing these words, Long Xiyao instantly flushed red to her ears.

Sun Peng personally saw him out of the Panchun Teahouse, expression serious: "Dao Friend Cai, I stake my life on it — what we discussed before absolutely wasn't six-tenths profit."

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "I naturally believe you."

Sun Peng only then let out a breath: "Thank you."

Xu Zhangqing reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't rush the matter of selling wine in Xuanxin City. My energy alone is limited; three thousand catties a month is already the limit.

As for cooperating with the Long Family, we'll talk when the time comes."

Find an opportunity, he planned to go to Xuanxin City and take a look.

He'd always heard that place was even larger than Dongqing City, with more cultivators.

Not only loose cultivators, but also various small cultivation clans and small cultivation sects.

It could be called lively to the extreme!
