"Commander Li, are you sure you won't reconsider? If Han Minghui and the others find out that you don't actually have the Divine Position Gemstone, you probably won't get anything from them..." Li Xianchun slightly frowned, feeling that Li Xiu was being sowhat rash.
"Say whatever you want, please leave." Li Xiu directly showed him the door.
Li Xianchun stared at Li Xiu in a daze, not expecting Li Xiu to be so resolute.
"Commander Li, you should think carefully, once I walk out that door, I can't guarantee those words I just said won't reach a third party," Li Xianchun said, staring at Li Xiu.
"You can tell anyone you like, be my guest." Li Xiu was very firm.
Seeing Li Xiu's determination, Li Xianchun couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that I guessed wrong, and the chairman didn't give the Jade Token to Li Xiu? That doesn't make sense; if that were the case, how do you explain all the things Li Xiu has stirred up?"
Li Xianchun still trusted his own judgnt, reasoning that Li Xiu was determined to hold out to the end.
"If you're not willing to share anything with , you can't bla ." Li Xianchun asked one last ti while looking at Li Xiu, "Commander Li, are you really not going to reconsider?"
Li Xiu ignored him completely, and Li Xianchun said no more, turning and leaving Courtyard No. 7.
After leaving Courtyard No. 7, Li Xianchun went straight to the Han Family. Since Li Xiu wasn't willing to share any benefits, he'd get so himself, and perhaps gain a few significant favors in the process.
Although these favors might not compare to those benefits, they were better than nothing.
With these favors, life for the Li Family and him, Li Xianchun, would beco much easier in the future.
Not long after Li Xianchun left Courtyard No. 7, rumors that Li Xiu might possess the Jade Token and was setting up a sche spread quickly through Longevity Heaven.
The bosses who had previously brought treasures to trade with Li Xiu were startled into a cold sweat, each pondering how to hide their treasures and what pretext to use so that when Li Xiu ca knocking, they wouldn't have to give him anything.
Now they regretted being blinded by the Divine Position Gemstone, unable to see through such a simple ploy.
They also secretly resented Li Xiu for being too devious, using this thod to lure out their most prized treasures.
"Commander, your plan has been leaked. Should we now go to those families to get the items?" Old Jia, having received the news, rushed to Li Xiu to report the situation.
"There's no need." Li Xiu gently shook his head. He had never intended to personally go and demand the items.
All the family heads were racking their brains to hide their items. Simply hiding them wasn't enough; they also had to co up with a pretext, otherwise Li Xiu, having seen those items, might truly use the Jade Token to demand them, and they wouldn't be able to refuse.
Each family head was straining their brains, coming up with all sorts of excuses.
So claid to have lost everything in one night, so their treasures were already mortgaged away; others said they went to the Land of Trial, only to lose their treasures there.
In any case, they had thought up an array of excuses, colorful and countless.
"Ah, Li Xiu, if only you'd agreed to share a bit with earlier, it wouldn't have co to this," Li Xianchun coldly chuckled to himself at ho.
Li Xiu was playing with Zai Zai in the courtyard when Old Jia led soone over, and it was actually Sun Tianlei.
Back then, Sun Tianlei was the first to co and discuss a deal; now Sun Tianlei was the first to co over again. Li Xiu wondered what he was up to this ti.
"Commander Li, this is for you." Sun Tianlei pushed a box in front of Li Xiu, his expression peculiar.
Li Xiu recognized this box; it was the one that previously held the Celestial Spirit Divine Weapon Fruit.
Li Xiu reached out, opened the lid, and indeed, inside were the Celestial Spirit Divine Weapon Fruits, all six present and accounted for.
"What's the aning of this? I haven't even decided to trade with your Sun Family yet," Li Xiu asked, sowhat puzzled.
"Commander Li, please, don't tease . We all know you've obtained the Jade Token," Sun Tianlei said with a bitter expression.
"Since you know, what do you an by this?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"Sun Tianbing asked to give this to you. He said the item is yours, no trade needed, and it doesn't need to be returned," Sun Tianlei said.
"Why?" Li Xiu was taken aback.
While others were busy hiding, Sun Tianbing actually wanted to give these six Celestial Spirit Divine Weapon Fruits to him; it was quite strange.
"He said, Commander Li, that you are fighting for us in the Longevity Heaven, and it is only right for us to contribute. If you need anything else, just ask; as long as it's sothing we can provide, you won't be disappointed," Sun Tianlei said earnestly.
"Brother Sun is truly an exemplary model of our kind," Li Xiu pondered for a mont, then took out two Celestial Spirit Divine Weapon Fruits and closed the box. "Please go back and tell Brother Tianbing, I'm borrowing these two Celestial Spirit Divine Weapon Fruits, and will repay the favor in the future."
"Commander Li only needs two?" Sun Tianlei was overjoyed.
He didn't understand why Sun Tianbing initially offered the entire set, but now that Li Xiu only took two, leaving four, it was a great relief for him.
"Two are enough." Li Xiu smiled.
"Alright, I will return imdiately, and relay Commander Li's words without missing a single detail," Sun Tianlei carefully collected the box and left Courtyard No. 7.
"Sun Family's Sun Tianbing, now that's an interesting person," Li Xiu mused as he played with the two Celestial Spirit Divine Weapon Fruits in his hand. One was ant for the Fire Lotus Sword, while the other Li Xiu planned to keep for A Fei.
A Fei had no relatives, nor any background or connections to rely on; all he could depend on was Li Xiu.
Before Li Xiu even gave the Celestial Spirit Divine Weapon Fruit to the Fire Lotus Sword, soone else ca to Courtyard No. 7.
"Why has Vice President Han co again?" Li Xiu noted that the visitor was Han Minghui.
"Naturally, I'm here to ask whether Commander Li has reconsidered and is willing to trade with ," Han Minghui said with a sweet smile as she sat across from Li Xiu.
"Haven't you heard the rumors going around?" Li Xiu asked with interest, surprised that Han Minghui would co under such circumstances.
"Not only have I heard them, but soone even ca to my house specifically to tell ," Han Minghui smiled.
"You don't believe them?" Li Xiu inquired.
"I don't. I only believe in myself. What I saw was definitely the Divine Position Gemstone," Han Minghui said with a mischievous smile while looking at Li Xiu. "Don't you think so, Commander Li?"
"Let ask you sothing, have you ever t with Jiuxiao Yun?" Li Xiu didn't answer Han Minghui's question but asked his own.
"Why would I?" Han Minghui was slightly taken aback.
"Who knows that the Samurai Star is in your possession?" Li Xiu asked again.
"I suppose not many people know," Han Minghui seed to have realized sothing, staring at Li Xiu. "Did soone use the Samurai Star to bribe Jiuxiao Yun to steal your Divine Position Gemstone?"
Li Xiu nodded slightly, and Han Minghui imdiately scoffed coldly, "If there is such a person, it's definitely Li Xianchun."
"Do you have any evidence?" Li Xiu also believed it, but he still asked.
"No, but I know it must be him," Han Minghui said coldly. "You don't need to worry about this. Last ti he tried to sow discord between us, and now he even tries to fra with such thods. If he doesn't get taught a lesson, he'd still think of Li Xiu as the previous head of the Four Great Families."
