Chapter 793

~26 min read 5,085 words

Feng Daiku spent a whole day reconnecting Ma Wu's legs. Although Ma Wu could not walk, he had not forgotten his cultivation.

Feng Daiku was very worried: "Wulang, don't move around; let me do it. The leg tendons have just been reconnected; you must be extremely careful."

After cultivating for two hours, Ma Wu took a short rest, and his subordinate came to report that Shen Shen Rongqing had come to visit.

Feng Daiku smiled slightly: "Another confidante has come to dote on you."

Ma Wu shook his head and said: "I don't want to see her today."

Feng Daiku hooked Ma Wu's nose bridge: "Don't overthink it; I am not that jealous person. You should see her; perhaps you can probe some information, but be sure to be careful and absolutely do not injure your legs."

After Feng Daiku left, Ma Wu had someone invite Shen Shen Rongqing in.

Seeing Ma Wu lying on the bed, Shen Shen Rongqing asked with concern: "Ma Junyang, what happened?"

Ma Wu smiled and said: "How did you know I had an accident?"

"I just heard about it."

Shen Shen Rongqing did not feel anything was wrong, but Ma Wu felt awkward inside. After he returned to Green Water City, he had not contacted Shen Shen Rongqing; why did Shen Shen Rongqing come so timely?

This really cannot be blamed on Shen Shen Rongqing. She is an important member of the Hand and Foot Alliance and also a prominent figure in Puluo Prefecture. Ma Wu was carried off the train yesterday; she certainly had channels to know such important news.

Shen Shen Rongqing came to visit Ma Wu without any other intentions, but the current Ma Wu had deep hostility toward He He Jiaqing.

"Ma Junyang, how exactly did your legs get injured?"

Ma Wu smiled with a relaxed face: "I've been busy these past two days and accidentally fell. It should be a muscle or bone injury; it will be fine after resting for a few days."

Shen Shen Rongqing let out a long breath: "There were rumors that your leg tendons were severed; it really scared me to death."

Ma Wu said: "I feel very sorry for making you so worried."

The two chatted for a while, gradually having nothing to say. Shen Shen Rongqing felt that Ma Wu's condition was not quite right.

Just then, the button on her chest began to vibrate. Shen Shen Rongqing got up to say goodbye, and Ma Wu only said "It is inconvenient to see you off," but he did not try to keep her.

After leaving Xiaoyao Wu, Shen Shen Rongqing tightened her button. She originally thought it was He He Jiaqing contacting her, but she did not expect it to be a spy specifically responsible for monitoring Zhang Zhang Xiuling: "Miss Shen, it's raining in the Hundred Flower Garden."

Shen Shen Rongqing looked up; on such a sunny day, how could it rain?

Moreover, it should be snowing at this time of year.

The spy explained: "This is not ordinary rain; it is petal rain. Zhang Zhang Xiuling is holding a tea party in the garden; it seems to be a big event. Would you like to come and see?"

Petal rain in the Hundred Flower Garden is indeed a big event.

Shen Shen Rongqing hurried to the Hundred Flower Garden. There were petals everywhere inside and outside the garden. Each petal was bright and full. Shen Shen Rongqing picked one up, and it made a crisp sound when squeezed. The flower dew that splashed out left her hands full of fragrance, making Shen Shen Rongqing reluctant to step into the garden.

Back then, Zhang Zhang Xiuling had invited a grass cultivator to change the flowering period, allowing the flowers in the garden to bloom on the same day.

Shen Shen Rongqing had seen the grand occasion of that day, but even if all the flowers bloomed at the same time, the Hundred Flower Garden was not as gorgeous as it was today.

The tea party was very lively, and many prominent figures had come, but not everyone could understand this liveliness. It had nothing to do with status or cultivation depth.

Many people from the Lu family came. Lu Lu Chunying, Duan Duan Shaoxia, and Lu Lu Yuanxin all praised the petals in the garden as beautiful, but they only felt they were beautiful.

Only Xiao Yeci knew that there was a deeper meaning here, but it was inconvenient for her to say it out loud.

Youtao stepped forward and pinched Xiao Yeci's cheek: "Why do I see that you have something on your mind?"

Xiao Yeci said with a serious face: "I don't have anything on my mind; these flowers are so beautiful."

Youtao whispered: "Is it inconvenient for you to talk here? Why don't we go home first, and you can tell me alone."

While speaking, Youtao hugged Xiao Yeci's waist.

"Go home with you first?" Xiao Yeci blushed, "Better not. Sister Zhang Xiuling invited us here; it wouldn't be good to go back first."

Chu Chu Huaiyuan was also invited. Looking at the petals all over the ground, she felt like she had heard a certain saying, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

She saw Boss Lu sitting in a corner of the garden and stepped forward to ask: "Mr. Lu, this petal rain should have some meaning, but I can't remember it clearly."

Boss Lu seemed to think very seriously for a while: "I remember it seems to have some connection with the Hundred Flower Sect, but what exactly the connection is, I can't remember clearly either."

Chu Chu Huaiyuan gave Boss Lu a glare.

How could he not remember clearly? He was unwilling to say it plainly!

Zhang Zhang Xiuling was busy greeting guests when her subordinate reminded her: "Miss Shen is here."

"Shen Rongqing! You finally came!" Zhang Zhang Xiuling hurried to the garden entrance, "I was just waiting for you!"

"Waiting for me?" Shen Shen Rongqing smiled, "Zhang Xiuling, you didn't even give me an invitation."

Zhang Zhang Xiuling was very surprised: "I didn't send invitations; I went to invite people in person. I sent someone to the film company."

Shen Shen Rongqing nodded: "Then maybe they didn't find me; I wasn't at the company today."

"Then you can't blame me! Why are you still being formal with me? Come and sit."

Shen Shen Rongqing sat in the garden for a while, drank a cup of tea, notified Zhang Zhang Xiuling, and left first.

She loved looking at flowers, and she might not see this scene in the garden today a second time in her life.

But she felt uncomfortable; the people who came to admire the flowers today seemed to have some hostility toward her.

The key was that she still had important things to do. After returning to the film company, she immediately contacted He He Jiaqing, and it wasn't until late at night that

she finally heard He He Jiaqing's voice:

"Shen Rongqing, what is it?"

Shen Shen Rongqing knew He He Jiaqing was very busy, so she tried to be as brief as possible: "It rained petals in the Hundred Flower Garden; this is the Hundred Flower Sect..."

He He Jiaqing interrupted Shen Shen Rongqing: "I don't have time to listen to this now!"

The contact was cut off.

Shen Shen Rongqing scratched her hair.

She took a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took one out, lit it, and took a fierce puff.

After one puff, Shen Shen Rongqing coughed for a long time. She didn't usually smoke; this pack of cigarettes was a gift from Ma Wu.

Now Ma Wu had changed, and Zhang Zhang Xiuling had also changed.

Just because Shen Shen Rongqing worked for He He Jiaqing, everyone seemed to dislike her, but He He Jiaqing wouldn't even listen to her finish a sentence.

"If you don't want to listen, then forget it; it saves me some effort!" After coughing twice, Shen Shen Rongqing suddenly smiled,

smiling with a face full of bitterness.

He He Jiaqing was indeed very busy; the land reclamation in the New Territory had reached a critical moment.

He made full use of the resources and financial power of the Inner Prefecture to reclaim all thirteen plots of land to eighty percent.

Right now was the critical stage for the New Territory to become official land, and no mistakes could be tolerated. When Shen Shen Rongqing told him about the petal rain, He He Jiaqing thought it was just the romantic sentiment of a talented woman; at such a time, how could he have the heart to listen to this?

But Shu Wanjuan was quite concerned about this matter. He specifically asked He He Jiaqing: "I heard that it rained Hundred Flower Rain in the Hundred Flower Garden; aren't you going to take a look?"

He He Jiaqing shook his head and smiled: "How could I have the heart to admire flowers?"

Hearing the words "admire flowers," Shu Wanjuan understood that He He Jiaqing knew nothing about the Hundred Flower Rain.

Shu Wanjuan said: "I want to go to the Hundred Flower Garden to take a look; this is a rare wonder."

He He Jiaqing said: "Senior, be careful. If you run into the peddler in Green Water City, no one will be able to save you."

Shu Wanjuan sneered: "You don't need to worry about this."

That afternoon, Shu Wanjuan left the New Territory, but he did not go to Green Water City.

He went to Blood Tooth Mountain and found Shan Chengjun: "It rained Hundred Flower Rain in the Hundred Flower Garden; do you know about this?"

Shan Chengjun was eating grapes and said vaguely: "What Hundred Flower Rain? What is it used for?"

Shu Wanjuan endured his disgust and explained to Shan Chengjun: "The Hundred Flower Sect is a sect in Puluo Prefecture, rumored to have been founded by the Hundred Flower God. If it rains Hundred Flower Rain in the Hundred Flower Garden, it proves that the Hundred Flower God is about to appear."

Shan Chengjun was confused: "What Hundred Flower God? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Shu Wanjuan frowned and said: "You don't care about anything in Puluo Prefecture at all?"

Shan Chengjun said with a serious expression: "Who says I don't care? No matter where the peddler goes, I try my best to keep an eye on him! Does this Hundred Flower God have anything to do with the peddler?"

Shu Wanjuan shook his head: "It doesn't have much to do with him."

After finishing the bunch of grapes, Shan Chengjun spat out the grape seeds: "Then why are you telling me this? What is my status? Why should I care about the affairs of a sect?"

Shu Wanjuan said: "You don't have to care, but He He Jiaqing must. He swallowed the Hundred Flower Sect, and now the Hundred Flower God is going to take revenge; He He Jiaqing must find a way to deal with it."

This time Shan Chengjun understood: "You mean He He Jiaqing can't hold onto his own territory?"

Shu Wanjuan nodded: "Thirteen plots of new land, eighty percent reclaimed. We can take these thirteen plots back while he is fighting with the Hundred Flower God."

Shan Chengjun's eyes lit up; he loved hearing this: "Keep talking, what happens after we take the territory?"

Shu Wanjuan said: "Great Shang has suffered heavy losses. I received news that the Bandit Suppression Camp was attacked, the Great Melting Pot was broken, and even the Great Altar in Hao City was smashed to pieces."

Shan Chengjun became more and more excited. He took another bunch of grapes and ate several in a row: "Keep talking, I'm listening!"

Shu Wanjuan said: "If we take these thirteen plots of land and offer them to Lord Lan Qiao, it would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather. Your previous defection to Earth Square can be forgiven. If we want to be crowned princes, proposing it at this time is reasonable and logical. Lord Lan Qiao certainly won't..."

Slap!

Shan Chengjun threw the grapes at Shu Wanjuan's face.

"Damn it, look at your lack of ambition; I feel ashamed just talking to you!" Shan Chengjun spat at Shu Wanjuan.

Shu Wanjuan wiped the grape juice off his face and said angrily: "What ideas do you have? Tell me one that isn't shameful!"

The Blood Tooth Monster twisted her waist to the table and poured a glass of wine for each of them: "We are all our own people; we shouldn't hurt our harmony."

Shan Chengjun held the Blood Tooth Monster in his arms, dipped his finger in the wine, and drew a circle on her belly: "Look carefully, this is the thirteen plots of new land."

"We will take these lands first, and then find a local deity to occupy the territory."

2

Shu Wanjuan said: "Where are we going to find a local deity?"

Shan Chengjun patted the Blood Tooth Monster's belly: "My wife, a blood-seed born and raised in Puluo Prefecture; the peddler's side won't be able to say anything!"

Shu Wanjuan looked at the Blood Tooth Monster: "Do you have cultivation above the clouds?"

The Blood Tooth Monster gave Shu Wanjuan a glare, kissed Shan Chengjun, and kept her mouth shut.

Shan Chengjun also glared at Shu Wanjuan: "So what if she doesn't have cultivation above the clouds? My wife eats handfuls of elixirs every day; isn't that just a matter of time?"

This was really not bragging; the Blood Tooth Monster could refine elixirs, and Shu Wanjuan knew this.

Shu Wanjuan continued to ask: "What do you plan to do after the territory becomes official land?"

"What do you think? Thirteen plots of land, a territory of our own. We don't need to wait for Lan Qiao Yi to crown us; we can declare ourselves kings!" Shan Chengjun laughed so hard he couldn't close his mouth.

Shu Wanjuan looked around for a long time, but no stones exploded.

"Old Shan, are you speaking from your heart?"

Shan Chengjun swallowed a grape and nodded: "I am just this straightforward! What kind of friendship do we have; would I lie to you?"

Shu Wanjuan stood up and said: "Declare yourself king in Puluo Prefecture? Can the peddler tolerate you? Do you think you have too many lives?"

Slap!

Shan Chengjun threw the grapes at Shu Wanjuan's face again.

Shu Wanjuan was also curious why Shan Chengjun could be so fast and accurate every time, and could smash the grapes so thoroughly.

Shan Chengjun continued to make plans on the Blood Tooth Monster's belly: "Look carefully, this plot of land has been taken; next, we need to plant our flags."

He tore the grape skin into a small flag and stuck it on the left side of the Blood Tooth Monster's navel: "The first flag is Puluo Prefecture's; after all, we are in Puluo Prefecture's territory, so we must give the peddler some face."

Shu Wanjuan said in astonishment: "You mean we defect back to the peddler? Can he still accept us?"

"You only know how to defect your whole life; no wonder I look down on you! Listen to me finish!" Shan Chengjun tore another piece of grape skin and stuck it on the right side of the Blood Tooth Monster's navel, "The second flag is for the Shang Kingdom;

after all, they gave us the territory, so we must take care of their face too."

Shu Wanjuan's beard fluttered on his lips for a moment: "Defected to the peddler, and now want to defect to the Shang Kingdom; how could you even think of such a thing?"

"What's so hard to think of?" Shan Chengjun tore another piece of grape skin and stuck it above the Blood Tooth Monster's navel, "The third flag is for the Earth Square Kingdom; after all, I am working for the Earth Square Kingdom now, so bringing their name along

makes us look legitimate."

Shu Wanjuan looked at Shan Chengjun with a blank expression: "There shouldn't be a fourth flag, right?"

"There is!" Shan Chengjun stuck another piece of grape skin below the Blood Tooth Monster's navel, which made her giggle with tickles.

Shan Chengjun pointed to the fourth piece of grape skin and said: "This is the flag of Wan Sheng Prefecture. I have made many friends in Wan Sheng Prefecture who have great ambitions. If I want them to contribute, I must give them a flag!"

Shu Wanjuan pursed his lips; he really couldn't understand what Shan Chengjun was saying.

When they were fighting in the war, Shan Chengjun was shot through the cheek by an arrow, and his speech was leaking air from both sides. Even in that state, Shu Wanjuan didn't find it as strenuous to listen to him as he did today.

Shu Wanjuan felt he should leave, but he still had to listen to Shan Chengjun finish: "Just these four flags, nothing else, right?"

"There is!" Shan Chengjun stuck on the fifth piece of grape skin. This piece was stuck right in the center of the navel, "This flag is ours. All the flags stuck in front are just facades; the real masters must be us! From now on, this territory will be called the Shan-Shu Kingdom; I will be the Great King, and you will be the Second Great King!"

"Good!" Shu Wanjuan praised, "Great King, I will go and help you prepare for the enthronement; I'll take my leave first!"

Shu Wanjuan got up to leave, and Shan Chengjun said with a dark face: "Why? Are you going to quit now?"

"It's not quitting," Shu Wanjuan shook his head, "I don't have this ability and am afraid of delaying your grand cause!"

"Don't give me that nonsense!" Shan Chengjun sent the Blood Tooth Monster away and said to Shu Wanjuan, "Old Shu, do you think that if you deal with He He Jiaqing and send the territory to Lan Qiao Yi, Lan Qiao Yi will crown you? Do you think that because Lan Qiao Yi's situation is not good and you have made a great contribution, Lan Qiao Yi will treat you as a person?"

Shu Wanjuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance: "Contributions are not the most important; what is truly important is the friendship of sending charcoal in snowy weather!"

"Bullshit!" Shan Chengjun spat at Shu Wanjuan again, "Lan Qiao Yi is someone who wants to be an emperor; what friendship are you talking to him about?

When he was about to freeze to death, you gave him a piece of charcoal; he felt this piece of charcoal was more precious than gold.

When he is no longer cold, he will only think that piece of charcoal is worthless!"

Shu Wanjuan didn't speak.

These few sentences from Shan Chengjun hit his heart.

The two were silent for a long time. Shan Chengjun threw a bunch of grapes to Shu Wanjuan; he didn't throw it at his face, but into his hand: "Old Shu, you must listen to advice. The thirteen local deities on the thirteen plots of land have already been killed by He He Jiaqing. You don't need to think about receiving rewards from Lan Qiao Yi; if you can manage to balance your merits and demerits, that's already your good fortune.

And I'll tell you, everything in Puluo Prefecture is easy to talk about, but if you fight for territory for the Shang Kingdom, the peddler will absolutely not spare you; even if he chases you to the Chao Ge City, he will take your life!

By then, you won't be able to keep the land or your life, and you won't be a person on either side; choose your own path."

Shu Wanjuan sighed and said: "Those with different paths cannot conspire together!"

After speaking, he sat back at the table and said to Shan Chengjun: "Are you planning to get rid of He He Jiaqing directly?"

Shan Chengjun was stunned for a moment and asked Shu Wanjuan in a low voice: "I have also read some books; you just said 'cannot conspire together,'

does that mean you don't want to talk to me anymore?"

Shu Wanjuan said while eating grapes: "I meant that Lan Qiao Yi and I cannot conspire together! Call the Blood Tooth Monster over; I still want to look at the map."

Shan Chengjun called the Blood Tooth Monster over.

Shu Wanjuan stared at the map for a long time. He had a big concern in his heart: "Those thirteen plots of land were promised by the peddler to He He Jiaqing. If we kill He He Jiaqing, even if we get the territory, the peddler won't let us go."

Shan Chengjun smiled: "Even if we don't kill He He Jiaqing, the peddler won't let us go, but some things can be discussed. These thirteen plots cannot be taken by force; they must be taken by trickery; we must use our brains more!"

Shu Wanjuan leaned close to Shan Chengjun: "Are you trying to take them by trickery using the Hundred Flower Rain?"

Shan Chengjun nodded: "I don't know the quality of the Hundred Flower Sect, but if they can kill He He Jiaqing, this matter will be much simpler."

Shu Wanjuan stroked his beard: "The Hundred Flower God has some connections with me; this matter is not impossible to handle."

"You guys are talking about things that have nothing to do with the map!" The Blood Tooth Monster shivered, "Do we still need to look at this map? It's quite cold here!"

He He Jiaqing was calculating the days until the land reclamation would be successful in the New Territory when a group of land reclaimers found Seeing Datou to ask for their wages.

Land reclamation in the New Territory was very expensive. Relying solely on He He Jiaqing's financial power, he couldn't support these thirteen plots of land at all.

Most of the financial power came from the Shang Kingdom.

But the money from the Shang Kingdom hadn't been delivered for several days, and He He Jiaqing was gradually becoming tight on funds.

Some land reclaimers started making trouble in the territory because they couldn't get their rewards, and other land reclaimers felt something was wrong and didn't want to continue working here.

He He Jiaqing found Shu Wanjuan: "Senior, what happened at the imperial court? Why hasn't this month's wages been delivered yet?"

Shu Wanjuan said: "I didn't want to tell you about this because I was afraid of distracting you. The imperial court sent a sum of money, but it was robbed halfway."

"Robbed by whom?"

"One of the three major sects in Puluo Prefecture, the Hundred Flower Sect; you should have heard of it, right?"

He He Jiaqing smiled: "Senior, this is absurd. The Hundred Flower Sect was taken over by me long ago. If they had robbed such a large fortune, I should have received the news long ago."

Shu Wanjuan nodded: "That's why I didn't want to tell you. The closer we get to the critical moment, the less we can let trivial matters distract our energy. I will find another way for the money; you should find a way to support it for these days."

Even though he said he didn't want He He Jiaqing to worry, how could someone as cautious as He He Jiaqing be at ease?

Hundred Flower Sect, Hundred Flower Garden, petal rain.

He He Jiaqing immediately contacted Shen Shen Rongqing: "Shen Rongqing, what's going on with the petal rain you mentioned earlier?"

Shen Shen Rongqing said: "Didn't you say you didn't have time to listen to these things?"

"I have time now."

Shen Shen Rongqing was unhappy, but she still explained to He He Jiaqing: "In some literary works in Puluo Prefecture, the history of the Hundred Flower Sect is described."

"The founder of the Hundred Flower Sect is called the Hundred Flower God. After this person retired, it is said that she was still secretly protecting the Hundred Flower Sect. When the Hundred Flower Rain falls in the Hundred Flower Garden, it is a sign that the Hundred Flower God is returning to the mortal world."

He He Jiaqing's heart tightened. He really hadn't read many such literary works. He knew the name of the Hundred Flower God, but only limited to the name.

"What is the origin of the Hundred Flower God?"

Shen Shen Rongqing thought and said: "There are many theories about this. Some say she is the ancestor of flower cultivators, and some say she is the ancestor of grass cultivators."

"Others say the Hundred Flower God is not from Puluo Prefecture, and like the Dragon Princess, she comes from Dragon King Mountain; others say the Hundred Flower God is not a mortal, but a true deity."

Hearing these legends of Puluo Prefecture, He He Jiaqing felt a headache: "Shen Rongqing, go and investigate the reason for this Hundred Flower Rain, and also inquire about the movements of the Hundred Flower God."

Shen Shen Rongqing agreed, but He He Jiaqing still couldn't rest easy.

Shen Shen Rongqing and Zhang Zhang Xiuling had a very good relationship; he couldn't trust Shen Shen Rongqing on this matter.

He He Jiaqing contacted Duan Duan Shuqun again and asked him to arrange manpower to closely monitor Zhang Zhang Xiuling's movements.

Two days later, Duan Duan Shuqun sent news that Zhang Zhang Xiuling went to Xiaoyao Wu to find Ma Wu.

Zhang Zhang Xiuling actually took the initiative to find Ma Wu?

As far as He He Jiaqing knew, Zhang Zhang Xiuling admired Li Qi very much, but had always been wary of Ma Wu.

Could it be that the Hundred Flower God is really about to appear?

Or is someone using the name of the Hundred Flower God to stir up trouble?

He He Jiaqing was still doubting the identity of the Hundred Flower God, but Zhang Zhang Xiuling was convinced.

She went to find Ma Wu just to retake the Hundred Flower Sect!

"Fifth Master, I know I owe you too much. I'm embarrassed to ask you for help again, but now that the Hundred Flower God has taken action, the Hundred Flower Sect was lost in my hands, and I must win this breath back for the Hundred Flower God!"

Ma Wu agreed on the spot; he was just about to deal with He He Jiaqing, and this matter happened to suit his wishes.

Two days later, He He Jiaqing received news from Duan Duan Shuqun again. In Black Stone Slope, He He Jiaqing had a paper mill, and because of business matters, it had some conflicts with Ma Wu's paper mill.

These were originally small matters, and both sides could talk it out if they sat down.

But this time Ma Wu didn't talk and directly had people smash He He Jiaqing's paper mill.

Seeing Datou heard the news and prepared to gather manpower: "I'll take a group of people to Black Stone Slope and smash his factory too; this grudge must be avenged."

He He Jiaqing stopped Seeing Datou: "No rush, keep an eye on the land reclamation first."

Walking on the territory, He He Jiaqing forcibly swallowed his anger. At this critical moment, no matter what happened, it had to be suppressed first.

Arriving at a plot of land, He He Jiaqing looked around but couldn't find any land reclaimers.

"Where are the people? Not a single land reclaimer?"

Seeing Datou explained on the side: "I was just about to tell you about this. We have been owing the land reclaimers their rewards, and many land reclaimers are unwilling to work for us. Some people came this morning and offered high prices to poach all the land reclaimers."

He He Jiaqing was anxious on the spot: "You just let them poach people like this? Why didn't you stop them?"

Seeing Datou lowered his head and said: "I didn't hear about this until the afternoon. I wanted to chase after them later, but they really paid money, and we were in the wrong, so it was hard to speak up."

He He Jiaqing raised his eyebrows.

First, rob the wages given by the Inner Prefecture!

Then, take advantage of the lack of money here to come and poach people!

It seems Ma Wu did all these things; one ring after another, he really used a lot of scheming in his work.

If it were anything else, it would be fine.

But delaying the land reclamation is something that cannot be tolerated!

Seven Autumn City, above the clouds.

Mu Yuejuan sat on Ai Ai Yeqing's lap and said coquettishly: "Guess who will win?"

"It's too early to talk about winning or losing now. The key is to look at Li Qi. If Li Qi doesn't enter the game, Ma Ma Junyang won't be able to fight He He Jiaqing." Ai Ai Yeqing fiddled with the copper coins in his hand, turning them twice between his fingers, and the two copper coins turned into a large handful of petals.

Mu Yuejuan took the petals from Ai Ai Yeqing's hand and stuck them one by one on Ai Ai Yeqing's face: "Ma Wu has been wronged; how could Li Qi not enter the game? They are closer than biological brothers!"

Ai Ai Yeqing smiled: "Li Qi is ruthless; I lost everything at Three-Head Fork. If Li Qi enters the game this time,

He He Jiaqing will lose big. Not only will he lose the Hundred Flower Sect, but he will also lose those thirteen plots of land."

Mu Yuejuan kissed Ai Ai Yeqing's cheek: "Can Li Qi handle those thirteen plots of land?"

Ai Ai Yeqing shook his head: "He can't handle them. Those thirteen plots of land were given to He He Jiaqing by the peddler. If Li Qi just grabs them by force, the peddler certainly won't tolerate him. Only when the peddler enters the game will Puluo Prefecture truly become lively."

Mu Yuejuan fiddled with Ai Ai Yeqing's hair: "It's a deal; I want half of those thirteen plots of land."

Ai Ai Yeqing pinched Mu Yuejuan's cheek: "Not only half of those thirteen plots of land, but I will also give you half of the railways in Puluo Prefecture."

PS: Didn't Ai Ai Yeqing say he wouldn't ask about worldly affairs anymore?
