Chapter 1066: 651. Tea Roasting Master Huan Yu
Qing Chen sketched out the new War Fortress he needed for Jinguji Maki on a piece of paper.
He instructed XiaoTongyun to pick up the Zhi Lanxing leaf that had just fallen to the ground: “Keep this, hold it in your mouth when you rebuild the God of Thunder.”
“Brother, is Zhi Lanxing powerful?” XiaoTongyun asked.
Qing Chen nodded: “Of course, it is powerful. Being able to seamlessly utilize Zhi Lanxing is sothing only the consortium can achieve in the Inner World. Throughout the Chen Clan, there’s only Chen Yu who can seamlessly use Zhi Lanxing.”
Therefore, in essence, Qing Chen’s transaction with He Jinqiu was fair.
An opportunity to beco a Demigod is sothing an ordinary person might never attain in a lifeti.
Out of curiosity, XiaoTongyun asked: “Then why do you still feel guilty?”
“Because of deception,” Qing Chen said: “Deception is always wrong.”
Suddenly, XiaoTongyun remarked, “Brother, I feel you treat He Jinqiu and Zheng Yuandong differently.”
Qing Chen looked at her: “Why do you say that?”
“I just eavesdropped for a bit in the secret passage,” Li Tongyun said: “When He Jinqiu proposed wanting Zhi Lanxing, your first reaction was to lie about reducing the yield to maximize benefits in the deal, and it was only later that you felt guilty. But facing Zheng Yuandong was different, when he said he wanted to provide goods for the students, you imdiately agreed. You must have known that the resources needed to supply the entire student body would be massive, potentially even infringing on the resources you prepared for the Parents’ eting and Freemasonry, yet you agreed without haggling with Zheng Yuandong. Why?”
Qing Chen sighed: “Because I have different impressions of the two. Dostically, Kunlun has always been frugal, eventually establishing the Ti Traveler’s Academy, so when Xiao Zhenji took in Whale Island, I imdiately agreed that Whale Island could still be used by them without charge, and that I would assist in their construction. But He Jinqiu is different, do you rember that reverse crossing plan between Jindai and Deer Island, and how Kyushu eventually found Li Changqing’s replacent?”
“Yes, I know,” Li Tongyun nodded: “I heard from Xiao Ying in the Inner World that when He Jinqiu couldn’t determine who had beco a Ti Traveler, he killed them all.”
“Yes,” Qing Chen nodded: “If it’s said that Kunlun and I have always helped each other, then with Kyushu, it has always been about transactions. Previously, when I was captured and brought to the A02 base, Zheng Yuandong stepped in because as a fellow countryman, he saw it as his duty to protect . He Jinqiu joined the rescue because Li Changqing finally agreed to support him in getting an Executive Director seat, as a condition.”
Qing Chen: “This ti, he blended into Chen’s Army and participated in the rescue alongside Zheng Yuandong, not because of any friendship between us, but because I had the Zhi Lanxing he needed. Boss Zheng was sincere and made his intentions clear, but he concealed the reason with ‘I’m one of the Kyushu.’ At the last mont of the return, Zard intervened, Huan Yu intervened, Ding Dong and Gu Dong also ca to the battlefield, but Boss Zheng and He Jinqiu did not appear at a certain mont, I even thought he was deliberately waiting, waiting for the right mont to bid for the highest price. Just like when Li Changqing rescued , he had to wait until Li Changqing agreed to support him before deciding to join the battle.”
Qing Chen: “Honestly, that’s just a conjecture, and I’m grateful he ca. So, when I knew he was on the battlefield, I began to feel guilty. Even though it was a deal, I still appreciated it from the bottom of my heart, and gratitude arose because, after all, it was a risky affair.”
Li Tongyun seed thoughtful.
Qing Chen looked at XiaoTongyun and said: “Kyushu and Kunlun’s ideologies differ; Kunlun is protective, while Kyushu is more aggressive. Zheng Yuandong once said that He Jinqiu does not seek to protect his holand, but to establish a new nation for the Ti Travelers.”
“So you’re wary of He Jinqiu but more generous with Zheng Yuandong,” Li Tongyun nodded: “Then why did you later give him the Chicken Blood Sprout? I can tell you felt a bit embarrassed.”
Qing Chen thought for a mont and said: “Because at the very least, he is a qualified businessman, not a robber. And even though we’ve always been making transactions, they’ve always been positive trades; he has never swindled in dealings with others, so when I realized that, I felt that I had been too guarded against him and then made another decision. After all, wherever he wants to establish a land for Ti Travelers, as long as it’s not within the country, why should I care?”
“So what now?” XiaoTongyun asked curiously.
“Find a ti to make ands. I will continue to prioritize resources for the Dayti, Parents’ eting, and Freemasonry and remain more friendly to Kunlun, while still being cautious of He Jinqiu, but I hope this will be a fair trade,” Qing Chen said: “What do you think?”
At this mont, Qing Chen would never again feel inner guilt without making a change.
But he also knew clearly what his pursuit was, who his fellow travelers were, and with whom he would eventually part ways.
Qing Chen lay on the recliner, and XiaoTongyun sat on the ground, leaning against the chair: “I feel as long as everyone in Dayti is doing well, it’s fine; I don’t care about the others. Sister Yang Yang said…you must be feeling bad now.”
Qing Chen smiled and said: “It’s okay, it’s over now.”
“Do you want revenge?” XiaoTongyun asked.
