Chapter 558: Master of Flower Immortal Manor

Ma Wu stood on the new land Li Li Banfeng had given him, surveying the five thousand three-headed people one by one.

He didn't miss a single one, because these five thousand three-headed people had given him too many regrets, and also countless expectations.

There was one three-headed person whose middle head was named Ayun; she was also the one in control of this body.

Ayun was pretty and empathetic; Ma Wu liked this young lady very much, but to Ayun's left was Agong, an old man over fifty, and to Ayun's right was Aliang, a young lad of fifteen or sixteen.

These two were also staring at Ma Wu, their faces carrying a faint shyness.

This just lacked a certain something, and it was destined that Ma Wu and this Miss Ayun had a connection but no fate.

Among the five thousand three-headed people, there were fewer than six hundred where all three heads were female, and fewer than one hundred that Ma Wu was satisfied with; these one hundred people were the objects of Ma Wu's special care.

"In the future, when our territory becomes a proper land, I want to build another Xiaoyao Wu here, hiring only three-headed people as performers—one lead singer with two backing vocalists. Among these one hundred people, a diva will definitely emerge!"

Feng Daiku laughed upon hearing this: "If you make a three-headed person a diva, will anyone dare to come to your Xiaoyao Wu? Aren't you afraid of scaring people?"

"At the beginning, there might be a little fear, but after coming a few more times, they'll get used to it," Ma Wu stood on the hillside, looking at his territory, looking at every three-headed person around him. "Old Seven is right; they are people, no different from us. What we can do, they can do. Jiang Jiang Mengting can be a movie queen, and they can do it just the same."

While they were talking, the two heard Jiang Jiang Mengting's singing.

Jiang Jiang Mengting had only recently entered the Dao gate; today she came to the new land, wanting to see if the new land's special environment could help her reach a higher level.

Even without accompaniment, her singing was still moving. The three-headed people, in the midst of their busy work, sat around her, quietly listening to her sing "Four Seasons Song."

"Spring arrives and green fills the window, the young lady embroiders mandarin ducks beneath the window; suddenly a ruthless stick strikes, scattering the mandarin ducks to opposite sides."

Feng Daiku sighed: "This song is sung so well; this girl is so talented."

Ma Wu laughed: "It's not that every song is sung this well. 'Four Seasons Song,' 'Fake Proper,' and 'Full Moon and Flower Good' are the three songs she sings best."

"What is special about these three songs?"

"The special thing is that Old Seven likes them especially, especially 'Four Seasons Song.' I don't understand why Old Seven likes it so much either."

"Wife, just sing 'Four Seasons Song' for me!" Li Li Banfeng hugged the phonograph and rolled on the bed.

The phonograph struggled vigorously: "I won't sing, I just won't sing for you!"

Li Li Banfeng hugged his wife again: "Wife, after eating so many good ingredients these days, it's time to reward your husband. Otherwise, your husband will have to use force."

The phonograph flipped over and pressed down on Li Li Banfeng: "What if you use force? Does this little slave fear you? Let's see who is stronger!"

"Wife, this is where you are in the wrong!" Li Li Banfeng forcefully grabbed the joint under the stylus arm.

The phonograph laughed while shouting: "You crazy man, you're just playing dirty because you can't beat me! No, don't tickle my armpit, this little slave can't take it. Husband, spare this little slave first, this little slave is out of breath, listen to this little slave speak slowly!"

Li Li Banfeng was truly a bit anxious. He had been at the second layer of the traveling cultivator's cloud for a while, but his residential cultivation was still at the first layer of the cloud.

Li Li Banfeng now dared not go to the territory to collect human energy; once his traveling cultivation advanced again, a situation would arise where it would backfire on his residential cultivation.

But the phonograph always said this matter couldn't be rushed: "Husband, the level must be stabilized by techniques. Husband hasn't learned the technique of 'Shadow and Form Mourning Each Other' at all. How could this little slave dare to let Husband advance to the second layer?"

"How can you say I haven't learned it!" Li Li Banfeng summoned his shadow. "My shadow comes when I say so, fights when I say so; its skills are no worse than mine."

"Use a technique and let me see?"

Li Li Banfeng crossed his hands and squatted beside the phonograph: "Once 'Shadow and Form Mourning Each Other' is used, other techniques cannot be used, but this doesn't delay my advancement."

While speaking, the shadow also crossed its hands and squatted on the ground.

The phonograph stared at Li Li Banfeng with its large horn for a long time and asked: "Precious Husband, recently whenever you talk about important matters, you always squat on the ground. What is the reason for this?"

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "What important matters have I spoken of?"

"Husband has spoken of—" The phonograph coughed, the topic almost being led astray by Li Li Banfeng. "This little slave isn't asking about important matters; this little slave is asking why Husband is always squatting?"

Li Li Banfeng sighed and said: "My heart is troubled; there are strong enemies outside, and my cultivation level won't go up.

I can only let others bully me."

The phonograph sighed: "It really is difficult for Husband, being bullied every day, yet still buying back so many good dishes every day."

"Isn't this because I'm thinking of Wife's belly?" Li Li Banfeng rubbed the phonograph's belly a few times, making his wife laugh non-stop.

"Husband, don't mess around, listen to this little slave: as long as Husband can use one percent of the power of the 'Shadow and Form Mourning Each Other' technique, this little slave will help Husband advance to the second layer."

"What is called using one percent of the power?"

"Husband, first summon the shadow; as long as you can use one combat technique, that will do."

"What is called a combat technique?"

"'Wind Rising on Flat Ground,' 'Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Calamity,' 'Golden Eyes and Autumn Hairs,' 'Hundred Flavors Exquisite,' 'Insight into Spiritual Sounds'—these techniques don't count as combat techniques. All other techniques count. Which one you can use depends on Husband's ability."

Li Li Banfeng remained squatting on the ground and retracted the shadow.

It's difficult.

When performing the "Shadow and Form Mourning Each Other" technique, Li Li Banfeng couldn't even use the foolish cultivator's techniques.

It seemed like he had been given a difficult problem, but Li Li Banfeng thought about it carefully; his wife was still thinking of his own good.

When facing strong enemies, if he could use one technique, even if only one, it would win him a huge advantage.

He had to choose a technique that was easy to handle first. Which technique was suitable?

Leaving the Personal Residence, Li Li Banfeng arrived at Ma Wu's new land. Many guests had come to offer congratulations. Compared to when Chu Er first acquired the land, there were even more guests this time.

Sha Sha Dingzhong, Rong Rong Sijiao, and Xie Hu Laizi, several local gods of the new land, all came. Huahu Manchun and Dou Dou Jiyan, two local gods of the proper land, also came.

Pan Pan Dehai arrived a little late. Feng Daiku originally wanted to hide from him, but Pan Pan Dehai took the initiative to approach.

"Miss Feng, congratulations to you."

Feng Daiku sneered: "Pan Lao, you really are joking. This territory isn't mine; what congratulations do I have?"

Pan Pan Dehai said: "Miss Feng and Young Master Ma are a devoted couple; how can you distinguish between each other?"

Feng Daiku frowned: "Pan Lao, are these words of yours mocking me? Wulang and I cannot be considered a couple who have bowed in the wedding hall."

Pan Pan Dehai hurriedly said: "This old man's words come from the bottom of my heart. If I could open this chest, I would hate not being able to take this sincere heart out for the young lady to see."

"Fine, I'll help you open it!" Li Li Banfeng came over carrying a knife.

Pan Pan Dehai hurriedly bowed: "Brother Li Qi, you are talented and virtuous, and now you have been enfeoffed as a feudal lord of a region."

Feng Daiku said: "Young Master Li, be careful. 'Talented and virtuous' is Pan Lao's technique."

"—" Pan Pan Dehai shook his head and said, "Miss Feng, why is your guard so heavy? This old man came here this time truly without malice, only seeking more mutual support in the future."

Li Li Banfeng said, carrying the knife: "Let's open the chest and verify it first."

Pan Pan Dehai hurriedly changed the subject. He cupped his hands toward Huahu Manchun: "Manor Master Hua, we haven't seen each other for many years. We must have a good drink in a while."

Huahu Manchun was a middle-aged man over fifty, wearing a white long gown, a white headscarf, and holding a feather fan—the appearance of an ancient famous scholar.

Seeing Pan Pan Dehai take the initiative to talk, Huahu Manchun cupped his hands in return: "Pan Lao, this drink of ours is definitely indispensable, but allow me to discuss proper business with Miss Feng first."

Feng Daiku felt the situation was wrong. She looked at Ma Wu first, then smiled at Huahu Manchun: "Today is Wulang's good day. Why did everyone find the wrong person to offer congratulations?"

Huahu Manchun waved his hand: "I didn't come today just to offer congratulations; there is another matter to discuss with Miss Feng. I heard that Miss Feng acquired the Soda Kiln territory some days ago and is now operating it prosperously. It's hard to take care of the small place of Pants Belt Ridge as well. Would Miss Feng be willing to let Pants Belt Ridge to me?"

Feng Daiku looked Huahu Manchun up and down: "I didn't hear clearly just now. Manor Master Hua wants me to let the territory to you?"

Huahu Manchun shook his feather fan and said: "I definitely won't take it for nothing. Gold, silver, jewelry, spiritual objects, and magic artifacts—whatever I possess, young lady, feel free to choose."

While speaking, Huahu Manchun looked straight into Feng Daiku's eyes, seemingly with some intent to tease.

Not many people had this kind of courage. Looking into Feng Daiku's eyes, one could be planted with a root of affection by Feng Daiku at any time.

Huahu Manchun's move was both a probe and a warning. Since he had the means to restrain the root of affection, he had the methods to restrain a sentiment cultivator.

Feng Daiku shook her head slightly: "Manor Master Hua's kind intentions, Feng accepts. Pants Belt Ridge is the place where Feng started. Although the territory is narrow and remote, a broken home is worth ten thousand strings of cash; I really cannot bear to part with it. Manor Master Hua, please find someone else to ask."

The folding fan in Huahu Manchun's hand stopped, and his smile suddenly vanished. He looked at Feng Daiku and said: "Miss Feng, were those words just now intentionally mocking me?"

To tell the truth, today was Ma Wu's good day, and Feng Daiku really didn't want to haggle with Huahu Manchun.

Huahu Manchun had been eyeing Pants Belt Ridge for more than a day or two. He had tried to snatch it from Feng Daiku openly, and had also tried to plot against her in secret. Their territories were adjacent, and they had fought I don't know how many battles.

On this occasion today, Huahu Manchun insisted on putting the matter on the table. What did he mean?

Feng Daiku said: "Today everyone came here to offer congratulations to Young Master Five. Manor Master Hua, the old grudges between you and me,

let's discuss them in detail another day."

"No need to wait for another day; today we must speak clearly," Huahu Manchun looked at the people around him first, then at Feng Daiku and said, "Let's discuss the matter as it stands. Just now, I was discussing business properly with Miss Feng. I was respectful in every word and sentence, without the slightest lack of etiquette. Miss Feng, in front of so many people, you used words to mock me. What exactly do you mean?"

Ma Wu didn't understand on the side; which sentence of Feng Daiku's mocked him?

Feng Daiku signaled Ma Wu not to speak. She knew she hadn't mocked Huahu Manchun with any sentence; Huahu Manchun was intentionally looking for trouble.

"Manor Master Hua, is it that you blame Feng for having omissions in her speech just now? For any offense, I ask the Manor Master to forgive me."

"What do you mean by having omissions?" Huahu Manchun's face became even uglier. "Is this saying that I intentionally picked on your faults?"

Ma Wu really couldn't help but ask: "Manor Master Hua, Ma usually lacks some upbringing, and my brain isn't very bright either. I really didn't hear which sentence Miss Feng used to offend you.

If there really was such a sentence, Ma Wu today will apologize to you together with Miss Feng. If you can't give a reason, then you are intentionally causing trouble in Ma's territory."

Huahu Manchun shook his fan and laughed: "I am a straightforward person, Young Master Five, don't take it to heart.

Today many heroes came to offer congratulations to Young Master Five. Young Master Five might really not be very bright, yet you think these heroes gave you face.

Actually, everyone present knows clearly that we came here to give Li Qi face. We value this junior's ability, which is why we are willing to support him. Pan Lao, am I wrong?"

Pan Pan Dehai waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Li Qi and I truly have a connection; we might be a bit different."

Huahu Manchun laughed: "Connections are unreliable; what is reliable is capital. Young Master Five, I am truly not offending you by speaking to you, but you currently don't have the capital to speak with me.

Brother Li Qi, I am saying these words for you to hear. My coming here today proves that there is a connection between us.

I am willing to be your friend,

but if you cannot grasp this connection and cannot keep these friends, our future matters will be discussed separately.

Brother Li Qi, don't you think this is the principle?"

Li Li Banfeng suddenly realized upon hearing this: "So you are reasoning with me; I thought I had nothing to do with this."

Huahu Manchun frowned: "If it had nothing to do with you, do you think I would come here with my status?"

Li Li Banfeng thought about it carefully and asked: "What is your status?"

Huahu Manchun's eyes flashed with cold light. Pan Pan Dehai hurriedly explained: "Brother Li Qi, this is Huahu Manchun, the Manor Master of Flower Immortal Manor. Flower Immortal Manor is a proper land."

Li Li Banfeng was very surprised: "Why haven't I heard of this place called Flower Immortal Manor?"

Huahu Manchun plucked the long feathers on his feather fan one by one. He was extremely dissatisfied with Li Qi's attitude.

Pan Pan Dehai hurriedly explained: "Brother Li Qi, if you say you haven't heard of Flower Immortal Manor, that's not right. Flower Immortal Manor's fame in Puluo Continent is so great, how could you not have heard of it?

But if you say you haven't been to Flower Immortal Manor, that is understandable. Flower Immortal Manor has rules: it only accepts women and does not tolerate men. We men cannot enter the manor."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned: "He doesn't accept men in his manor? Then is this Manor Master a man or a woman?"

Huahu Manchun's face turned blue. Pan Pan Dehai gave a dry laugh: "Brother, stop joking. Manor Master Hua is a master of the Joy Cultivation sect. When it comes to combat power, among the local gods of various places, almost no one can rival Manor Master Hua."

This was no exaggeration; Huahu Manchun could indeed fight. Feng Daiku had fought him for so many years and had never taken advantage.

Ma Wu also understood some things from this. Feng Daiku was in a hurry to take down the Soda Kiln back then; Huahu Manchun must have been a reason.

Huahu Manchun had been eyeing Pants Belt Ridge all along. If Feng Daiku couldn't hold the territory, having the Soda Kiln would at least leave herself a way out.

Li Li Banfeng was also very surprised: "Almost no one can rival him? Does that mean he can fight better than Green Flower?"

Mentioning Green Flower, Huahu Manchun, who was originally furious, had his eyes soften a lot.

Pan Pan Dehai's tone also softened a lot: "This, of course, Green Lv Lv Shuigong is a special case—"

All the local gods of Puluo Continent could not be mentioned in the same breath as Green Lv Lv Shuigong.

This was also one of the reasons why Huahu Manchun was wary of Li Qi. According to rumors from the outside world, Li Qi and Green Lv Lv Shuigong had an extraordinary relationship, and the three-headed people he snatched had a great connection with Green Lv Lv Shuigong.

Huahu Manchun said: "Brother Li Qi, let's discuss our friendship later. Today, let's just talk about the matter between me and Feng Daiku. I kindly discussed business with her, but she used words to mock me in front of so many people. Let's discuss the matter as it stands; shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

He came here today and made this scene for one purpose: to force Li Li Banfeng to take a stand.

In his view, Li Qi could establish a connection with Green Lv Lv Shuigong, so he must be a smart person. In Huahu Manchun's cognition, smart people only have interests in their eyes, not feelings.

Based on this, Li Qi would definitely strive for Huahu Manchun's support, because Huahu Manchun was stronger in strength. Regardless of combat power, influence, or economic strength, he was above Feng Daiku.

For Huahu Manchun, the ideal result was to pressure Feng Daiku through Li Li Banfeng to make her voluntarily give up Pants Belt Ridge.

Of course, if Feng Daiku refused to give up, causing a conflict between her and Li Qi would also be a quite good result. Without Li Qi as a backer, Pants Belt Ridge would sooner or later be his.

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment and shook his head: "I still don't understand; which sentence did Miss Feng use to mock you?"

Huahu Manchun frowned again. Why was Li Qi still dwelling on this matter? Was he really a smart person?

Since he asked, Huahu Manchun had to give a reason: "Everyone present heard clearly. I wanted to take my own belongings to exchange for the territory of Pants Belt Ridge with Miss Feng. Whether she exchanges or not doesn't matter; just give me a word.

She said something about a broken home being worth ten thousand strings of cash, and told me to ask someone else. What does this mean? Was she treating me like a beggar?"

"You think this is mocking?" Li Li Banfeng stared at the feather fan in Huahu Manchun's hand for a while. The earring said: "Master, his feather fan has no movement."

Not only was there no movement, it seemed there was no temperature either.

Huahu Manchun said: "This isn't called mocking? Could you trouble yourself to tell me what is called mocking?"

Li Li Banfeng stared at Huahu Manchun's headscarf again, but saw nothing unusual. It could be basically determined that this was Huahu Manchun himself.

He asked what mocking was, so Li Li Banfeng explained it to him properly: "Today our Old Five is reclaiming land. Anyone who comes is giving our brothers face. Please sit down and have a drink. If you offer Old Five a drink separately, this matter will be considered resolved.

If you don't want to give this face and don't want to drink this wine, please roll as far away as you can.

This is called mocking, mocking that hits you in the face. Can you understand?"

Huahu Manchun was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect Li Li Banfeng to have this attitude: "Brother Li Qi, the rivers and lakes are vast; it's hard to say who will end up in whose hands. You shouldn't have burned your bridges."

Li Li Banfeng looked at Huahu Manchun and said: "Don't worry about how the mountains and rivers turn for now; let's talk about how you turn right now. If you want to roll, you really have to turn a bit faster."

Huahu Manchun gritted his teeth. He looked at Pan Pan Dehai first, but Pan Pan Dehai lowered his head and said nothing.

He looked at Ma Ma Junyang again, and Ma Wu stretched out his hand: "Manor Master Hua, please do as you wish."

Several local gods were watching coldly from the side; not one came up to ease the situation.

Huahu Manchun turned and left. After he had gone far, Pan Pan Dehai thought about being a good person for once: "Brother Li Qi, why do this? Manor Master Hua is truly not easy to offend."

"Did I offend him?" Li Li Banfeng was very surprised. "I'll go find him to chat in two days. Since he is Miss Feng's neighbor, we really should interact."

"Brother Li Qi, don't joke."

"I am speaking from the heart. I truly think this person is not bad; if there is a chance, I must invite him to sit at home."

"Brother, it is better to resolve grievances than to knot them."

While still persuading peace with his mouth, Pan Pan Dehai knew clearly in his heart that the grudge between these two could not be resolved. Li Qi had completely offended Huahu Manchun. With Huahu Manchun's temperament, he would never easily spare Li Qi. Whether Li Qi could retreat unscathed would probably depend on whether his backer was willing to help him.

However, this matter might not necessarily be a loss. The eyes with which Feng Daiku and other local gods looked at Li Qi were different now.

From now on, Feng Daiku would have an extra layer of trust in Li Qi, and other local gods would have an extra layer of awe for Li Qi.

Local god Dou Dou Jiyan stepped forward and laughed: "Seventh Brother, this is our first meeting. I didn't bring anything, just prepared two jars of good wine. One for Fifth Brother, one for you. This wine can heal wounds; the medicinal properties are top-notch. A goose feather sent from a thousand miles away—don't despise it."

"How could I," Li Li Banfeng laughed. "How should I address this young lady?"

Dou Dou Jiyan didn't look very old, two braided pigtails hanging on her shoulders. She looked less than twenty, cute and playful, calling him Seventh Brother with every breath.

One must absolutely not take this seriously; it was impossible to judge this person's actual age.

Feng Daiku said: "This is the Manor Master of Thousand Liang Workshop, Dou Dou Jiyan, Miss Dou."

Li Li Banfeng hurriedly thanked her. Dou Dou Jiyan secretly asked: "Seventh Brother, guess what Dao gate I am from?"

Meeting by chance, asking others about their Dao gate was a very impolite thing, but he didn't expect Dou Dou Jiyan to take the initiative to let Li Qi guess.

Then let's guess.

Li Li Banfeng thought about it and said: "Miss Dou gave us good wine; you should be a wine cultivator."

Dou Dou Jiyan shook her head: "You really guessed wrong this time. I am not a wine cultivator; I got this wine from elsewhere.

I'll give you a hint. Don't you think my name is strange? Actually, I wasn't originally called Dou Dou Jiyan. It's just because Thousand Liang Workshop is a place that loves gambling, and I also like gambling. I like cockfighting the most, and my eyesight is especially good.

The fighting cocks I pick win every bet. Others say I have a discerning eye for fighting cocks, so they gave me the nickname 'Cock-eyed.'

I know they are mocking me, but I'm not afraid of their mockery. I simply gave myself a name, called Dou Dou Jiyan. Now you know what Dao gate I am from, right?"

Li Li Banfeng suddenly realized: "So it's a chicken cultivator!"

"There is no such Dao gate as chicken cultivator," Dou Dou Jiyan waved her hand. "I'm talking about my eyes being useful!"

"So it's an eye cultivator."

"And it's not Eye Cultivation either!" Dou Dou Jiyan laughed. "You're doing this to annoy me on purpose, aren't you?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't laugh; he guessed very seriously: "Then what Dao gate is it exactly?"

"I am a gambling cultivator, winning every bet!"

"So it's a gambling cultivator," Li Li Banfeng suddenly realized again: "Miss Dou, I have a friend who is also a gambling cultivator. This person is kind and charitable. I will definitely introduce you to each other another day."

Guests took their seats one after another, exchanging cups. The local gods of the new land promised one after another to provide a batch of strange monsters for Ma Wu's territory for the purpose of examination.

The local gods of the proper land also made promises, but the promises were relatively empty. Pan Pan Dehai and Dou Dou Jiyan promised that they would take more care of Ma Wu in the future.

After Sha Sha Dingzhong and the others sent strange monsters one after another, the land reclamation began.

Previously, when He He Yuxiu was reclaiming land, these local gods had caused trouble, but now they provided support to Chu Er and Ma Wu, so the grudge was considered resolved.

But there were still people whose grudges hadn't been resolved.

On the edge of the new land, a woman hid her figure, looking gloomily at the lively scene on the territory.

This woman was beautiful: a broad forehead, round face, fine eyebrows and curved eyes, lips like cherries. Her features were delicate and upright. Her long hair was tied up, with two strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, making her look even more gentle and beautiful.

Her figure was even better, symmetrical and slightly delicate, especially that slender waist, truly graspable with one hand. Under the cover of her long skirt, she looked like a beauty painted in a landscape painting.

She was the local god of the new land, Chu Yaoqian.

When He He Yuxiu was organizing three-headed people to reclaim land on the territory, Chu Yaoqian sent Lady Madame Suoe, A Rou, to examine them, forcing He He Yuxiu to almost fight with A Rou.

Li Li Banfeng still remembered this grudge. After taking over the territory of Lu Lu Huowang, Li Li Banfeng specially gave himself the name Chu Chu Yao Han, so that if there were any changes in the future, he could find compensation from her.

If Chu Yaoqian appeared now to apologize to Li Qi and send a few strange monsters to express her intentions, this matter could also pass.

But she was a bit hesitant because she arrived late.

When Chu Er took the new land, she didn't go to offer congratulations. When it came to Ma Wu's side, she arrived late again. She was worried that Li Qi wouldn't give her a good look. Hesitating, she didn't know whether she should appear.

Forget it, let's just go.

Among the local gods of the new land, Chu Yaoqian had some fame. If she were truly ridiculed by Li Qi, her face would really not look good.

After walking more than ten miles, Chu Yaoqian felt a bit regretful.

Being ridiculed twice actually didn't matter. If she acted coquettishly toward Li Qi, admitted her mistake, and sent some strange monsters to express her intentions, not only could she resolve a grudge, but she could also make a friend.

This friend was very important to her.

She heard about Huahu Manchun's matter; she knew Li Qi had swept Huahu Manchun's face in public.

Chu Yaoqian hadn't been bullied less by Huahu Manchun over these years. If she could find a backer, her future days would be easier.

Walking and stopping, Chu Yaoqian couldn't make up her mind, but among the mountains and forests, she vaguely heard some laughter.

Chu Yaoqian frowned and asked: "Which road are you friends from? Dare to come out and meet?"

A young man, wearing a white shirt, came before Chu Yaoqian and bowed deeply: "I am He He Jiaqing, meeting Miss Chu."

"The eldest young master of the He family?" Chu Yaoqian had heard of He He Jiaqing's fame. This person was wanted in both the outer and inner continents. It was said that he had joined forces with others to kill Zhang Zhang Gunli some time ago. She didn't expect to meet him here. Chu Yaoqian immediately raised her guard.

He He Jiaqing looked into the distance and said: "Miss Chu, are you planning to offer congratulations to Ma Ma Junyang?"

Chu Yaoqian nodded and said: "I originally had this plan. I have some connections with Li Qi and Ma Wu, and on such a great day, I should indeed send a congratulatory gift."

He He Jiaqing shook his head and sighed: "If there really were a connection, the young lady wouldn't be so hesitant."

Chu Yaoqian pouted her small mouth, looking slightly helpless: "I only blame myself for being greedy for sleep and missing the time. Going at this time,

I'm afraid people will say I lack etiquette."

"If you really lack etiquette, that's easy to say. If you are carrying a grudge, I advise you best not to go. Li Qi is a person who holds grudges; some things cannot be resolved in a few words."

Chu Yaoqian laughed: "What grudge could there be between Li Qi and me?"

He He Jiaqing said: "He He Yuxiu is my aunt. What you did on the day she reclaimed land, do you think I really don't know?"

Having her bottom exposed, Chu Yaoqian didn't argue strongly: "This matter was ordered by the inner continent. At that time, I wasn't the only one who offended Li Qi. Others were able to resolve their grudges; why can't I?"

"Miss Chu, not being able to resolve a grudge is not necessarily a bad thing. You also know that the orders of the inner continent are not easy to disobey. The local gods of the new land have a contract in the hands of the inner continent. If you cannot get the contract back, your life will be in the hands of the inner continent.

Today you went to Ma Wu's territory to offer congratulations. When tomorrow comes, if the inner continent suddenly flips its face, the young lady should know the consequences."

Chu Yaoqian lowered her head and said nothing. She had indeed worried about this matter.

He He Jiaqing continued: "I, He, love making friends. As for friends, I treat them all as flesh and blood. If Miss Chu is willing to be my friend, I will find a way to help Miss Chu get the other half of the contract back."

Chu Yaoqian was startled: "Are these words true?"

He He Jiaqing nodded: "True."

Chu Yaoqian didn't rush to take a stand. Taking a contract out of the inner continent? She had never heard of such a thing.

However, He He Jiaqing was indeed not an ordinary person. He was someone who could kill Zhang Zhang Gunli.

The outer continent was looking for him, the inner continent was looking for him, and Green Flower also wanted to kill him, yet he could still live until today. Perhaps he really had this ability.

Half-believing and half-doubting, Chu Yaoqian first raised a relatively easy-to-solve problem: "My territory is adjacent to Flower Immortal Manor, and I have some friction with Manor Master Hua, Huahu Manchun. If Young Master He could provide some support, this little girl would be extremely grateful."

He He Jiaqing nodded: "I will handle this matter for you. Let's go to Flower Immortal Manor immediately. As long as you are willing to be my friend, I guarantee that Huahu Manchun will not dare to make things difficult for you in the future."

Chu Yaoqian said upon hearing this, looking slightly shy: "Then I will thank Young Master He first."

He He Jiaqing said: "I just said, I treat friends as flesh and blood. In the future, should I call Miss Chu 'Sister'? What does the young lady think?"

Chu Yaoqian lowered her head and said: "How can that be? We don't look at age, only at prestige. This little sister will still call you 'Big Brother He'!"
