"..."
Jiang Buping looked at the Storage Ring handed over by the middle-aged man in his hand. Feeling the high-quality Spirit Stones inside, he was montarily stunned and sowhat dazedly raised his head in confusion before finally smiling.
"Thanks, old brother."
To be honest, this really surprised him.
He originally ca to pass the ti and didn’t care about these Spirit Stones; he truly didn’t expect soone to save up the Spirit Stones for him. Honestly speaking, he was sowhat touched.
It’s really...
Silently, he took the Storage Ring, secretly decided in his mind that he would give his old brother a hand.
However, asking him to kill people was simple for him, but he couldn’t stay in this old brother’s family forever. He really didn’t know how to help a family rise quickly.
"By the way, Xiaoping."
The middle-aged man continued at this mont, his tone filled with excitent: "I’ve decided to go back and establish my small family. In three months, there will be a banquet, inviting several families around. At that ti, I’ll need you old brothers to co back and support . You’ll give this face, won’t you?"
"Rest assured, the benefits for you will surely be plentiful!"
"Understood."
Jiang Buping nodded thoughtfully. According to tradition, when a family is established, there will be a banquet, inviting forces and friends with good relations to prove the family’s power to the surrounding forces. If no one shows up, the newly established family will be deed a weak force, inevitably bullied later.
This is sothing he could help with...
Though unable to contact Chen Qiu now, he could still find so reputable people to attend, perhaps through coercion, given no one in the Tidal Immortal Realm could defeat him.
One way or another, he had to boost his old brother’s prestige.
With this matter in mind, Jiang Buping returned to the crowd and raised a toast with his brothers to send off their captain.
There was no doubt that this night was joyful.
For those at the bottom, the happiest monts are when a prostitute reforms or when workers return ho. After toiling outside for so long, isn’t it all for achieving so success and then living peacefully at ho?
Many people also looked at the middle-aged man with eyes full of envy, taking him as their goal.
No banquet lasts forever.
The banquet ended soon, and Jiang Buping sent the drunken middle-aged man back to the mansion, then stuffed his hands into his pockets, shrugged at the goose feather-like snow overhead, and headed directly to the City Lord Mansion of Central State City.
...
"Master."
Central State City, City Lord Mansion.
The housekeeper, who had always been the strategist, hesitated as he reported: "There’s sothing I have to say: even though the Ascension Conference is lively every year, we’ve invested too much, so we’ve never gained any profit, breaking even every year."
"We haven’t earned a single Spirit Stone in the past ten years."
Ten years since Chen Qiu last descended on Central State City. Within these ten years, the title young master had changed to master, and this year was also his last year accompanying the master; next year, his son would continue the housekeeper’s role.
"Hmm."
The Central State City Lord chuckled: "Isn’t this the best outco? It’s as though we spread the fa of Central State City without spending a di, firmly establishing the Ascension Conference as sothing, which has beco the largest private event annually in the Tidal Immortal Realm."
"Moreover, it’s not like we earned nothing extra; every year there’s a grand feast plus a significant increase in permanent residents, boosting our shop and estate rental fees quite a bit, isn’t it?"
"This matter is almost profit without capital!"
"Take a long-term view, don’t fixate on small imdiate profits."
Just as he was about to continue speaking.
A sudden uninvited guest appeared in front of him, a young man.
"Who are you?"
The Central State City Lord frowned as he looked at this uninvited guest. This was his City Lord Mansion, heavily guarded, how could soone easily show up here?
"My na is Jiang Buping, a friend of Chen Qiu. You’ve hosted many events in Central State City using Chen Qiu’s reputation lately, including the ’Third Rank Heavenly Tribulation’ illusion experience, right?"
"I..."
The Central State City Lord’s mouth twitched slightly as he gazed at the young man’s face in front of him. mories from ten years ago flashed back; he recalled after the Third Rank Heavenly Tribulation concluded, a young man had approached Chen Qiu for an incense stick’s worth of conversation in the air, and that man was now this face.
Entering the City Lord Mansion silently ant this person’s strength far surpassed the mansion.
He originally thought he was rely exploiting Chen Qiu’s reputation, believing that Chen with his broad view wouldn’t pay attention to this matter, and he had prepared multiple excuses in advance, claiming ignorance, with the bla on subordinates, but he suddenly realized if Chen Qiu truly ca, no one would listen to his excuses.
"But this matter I won’t deal with for now, however, my friend recently established a family and needs so reputable folks for the banquet celebration. Well, I think Central State City is a decent force, you get what I an?"
"I understand, I understand."
The Central State City Lord sighed in relief, eyes showing the joy of narrowly escaping disaster, quickly spinning his eyes again: "Rest assured, senior, though I’m unaware of the exact ti, place, and family na, Central State City will co and congratulate with abundance."
