One guest was from the Qian Family of Longzuo.
In the guest hall of the Yuwen Clan, an old man dressed in royal blue brocade, with a stern face, was drinking alone at a table.
The elder looked very old, his hair already grayed and his face wrinkled, yet he radiated an invisible aura of power characteristic of a powerhouse. Indeed, he was a Tianren Realm powerhouse.
This elder of the Tianren Realm was none other than Mr. Qian Jinghuan, currently one of the most respected elders of the Purple Abode Qian Family. He was a figure at the advanced stage of the Tianren Realm.
Lady Bilian, who didn’t have the title of the Family Head but wielded real power, was personally attending to him with two high-ranking clan elders at this mont.
"Hee hee hee ~ Old Qian, you and our Yuwen Clan are such intimate friends." Lady Bilian giggled non-stop, speaking flattering words, "During our most difficult tis, you spared no effort to help us. Co, co, let pour you another glass."
The relationship between the Yuwen Clan and the Qian Family had been a long one. It couldn’t be said to be good, but it wasn’t bad either.
Both were Prominent Families mainly engaged in business. It was inevitable for the two families to cooperate, but competition was also unavoidable, leading to occasional disputes.
During the period when the Purple Abode’s Old Ancestor of the Yuwen Clan had fallen, the Yuwen Clan was often at a disadvantage in any competition between the two.
It was impossible for Lady Bilian to not harbor any resentnt after all these years.
Furthermore, she herself was not a broad-minded person. Collaborating with the Keep Achieving Comrcial Firm this ti might just be her way of giving the Qian Family a hard ti.
She knew that the Qian Family was certainly not here with good intentions.
But publicly, she showed no signs of abnormality, maintaining her smiling deanor.
After rounds of toasting and wine drinking.
Finally, Elder Qian Jinghuan couldn’t keep it to himself any longer: "Lady Bilian, you are a smart person. I believe you’ve guessed the purpose of our visit. So, I won’t beat around the bush. After a decision by our Qian Family Elder Council, we are willing to make a ten percent concession on all projects we collaborate on with the Yuwen Clan."
A ten percent concession?
The two elders from the Yuwen Clan narrowed their eyes, seemingly interested.
However, Lady Bilian was not so easily fooled.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and her smile beca even brighter: "The precondition, I presu, is for us to sever ties with the Keep Achieving Comrcial Firm, right?"
"Indeed, Lady Bilian. You’ve grasped the essence in an instant." Elder Qian Jinghuan said with a smile, "This arrangent would benefit both our families." According to the Qian Family’s understanding, Lady Bilian always had a good grasp of the situation.
That ten percent concession would be very beneficial to the Yuwen Clan. On the other hand, if refused, and it offended the Qian Family, the Yuwen Clan would be placed at a severe disadvantage.
"It sounds very sincere." Lady Bilian said with a serious face, "However, the cooperation with the Keep Achieving Comrcial Firm was not my idea."
"It was not Lady Bilian’s idea?" Elder Qian Jinghuan was slightly taken aback, "Could it be the idea of an elder from the Yuwen Clan? No problem, I can negotiate with them."
"No, it was the idea of our Family’s Firefox Old Ancestor." Lady Bilian replied indifferently.
"The Firefox Old Ancestor?" Elder Qian Jinghuan’s face changed instantly. He had never thought that this matter could involve the Firefox Old Ancestor!
At that mont.
A haughty female voice exploded in the banquet hall: "Correct, it was this old lady’s idea. You damned old man, do you have a problem with that?"
In the banquet hall, flas flickered.
A petite and exquisite Seven-Tailed Spirit Fox suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Before Elder Qian Jinghuan could reply, the fox expanded in size, transforming into a ferocious fla-coated Great Yao. Without any hesitation, she swiped a claw down: "Old man, you dare to sabotage the relationship between my brother Shouzhe and . I’ll kill you."
