Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Dominance on Both Sides of the Bajiang_1

Lord Long was very surprised in his heart.

The Feng Shui arrangement had been set up by a famous master from Hong Kong, who wouldn’t have come if it weren’t for the face of that person from the Capital City.

That master wouldn’t necessarily have come otherwise.

Xiao Chen had actually spotted the crux of this Feng Shui arrangement at first glance.

Initially, that master had also said that the tree was key.

The two of them sat down in the pavilion.

The tea and pastries had already been prepared.

Xue Ying and Ghost Blade stood outside the pavilion waiting.

Inside the pavilion, only Xiao Chen and Lord Long remained.

"Mr. Xiao, what are your thoughts on my family’s Feng Shui arrangement?"

After sitting down, Lord Long asked with a smile.

Lord Long himself was thin and had difficulty moving his legs.

There was always a faint smile on his face.

If he walked alone outside, probably no one would associate him with an overlord of Jiangnan Prefecture.

But often, it’s those types of people who are truly terrifying.

"I’ll give you four words, ’retreat in the face of difficulty.’

Here are another four words for you, ’wash your hands of it.’

I know you don’t want to, but in this world, money is endless," said Xiao Chen indifferently.

His tone was purely advisory.

In fact, people of Lord Long’s stature didn’t even deserve to sit in front of him.

That he was advising the other party was actually giving them face.

This wasn’t arrogance.

Just like an emperor allowing a local tycoon to sit in front of him, they were not on the same level at all.

The permission of the tycoon to sit in front of the emperor was already a vast favor from the emperor.

Lord Long smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, please have some tea!"

Xiao Chen, not standing on ceremony, picked up the tea and after taking a sip said, "Rich and full-bodied, bitter then sweet.

This is top-grade tea.

A pound must cost at least a few hundred thousand, right?"

"Mr. Xiao is truly a refined man, understanding everything," remarked Lord Long with a smile.

He could feel that Xiao Chen was definitely not as simple as the information suggested—a mere discharged soldier.

Xiao Chen held a colossal secret.

"Let’s not beat around the bush, I have already said what I wanted to say.

Whether you listen or not, weigh it for yourself.

If you have anything to say, feel free to speak up, I’m listening," said Xiao Chen as he put down his teacup. "Afterward, I still need to accompany my parents for a walk in the Ancient City."

Lord Long smiled and responded, "I sought out Mr. Xiao for nothing else but to have tea and chat.

Mr. Xiao, what do you think about the tea from the provincial city?"

Xiao Chen smiled. Lord Long really was a stubborn fellow, fond of asking questions through such allegorical methods.

Was he trying to show off his culture?

Xiao Chen responded lightly, "The tea from the provincial city is good, but the earthy taste is a bit too strong in the water—it’s not clean."

"Too clear a stream harbors no fish, and tea leaves that are too clean lose the taste of the soil.

Furthermore, this is not Mr. Xiao’s tea; I find it delicious and that’s enough," said Lord Long.

"You’re wrong, Lord Long, this is neither your tea nor mine; it’s the common people’s tea.

The common people like their tea clean and don’t fancy filth.

What’s this about a stream being too clear to have fish? Are you also raising fish in the drinking water?" Xiao Chen said.

"All right, the tea has been drunk, and I understand what Lord Long means.

You should also understand my point.

Hopefully, when we see each other again, we’ll still be able to sit together and drink tea, clean tea."

Xiao Chen stood up and said.

Lord Long made no attempt to retain him and also stood up, saying, "Mr. Xiao, you’re welcome to visit whenever you like!"

"I take my leave!"

Xiao Chen cupped his hands and left.

Lord Long sent Xue Ying to escort him out.

Only when they were outside did Lord Long’s expression gradually become cold and stern.

"Lord Long, this man has great ambition!" said Ghost Blade coldly.

"Yes, he cannot become one of our friends," Lord Long sighed.

"Do you want me and Xue Ying to take action and finish him off once and for all?"

Ghost Blade inquired.

"No need, this person is too mysterious, even I can’t see clearly, although he cannot become a friend,

we also don’t want to turn him into an enemy.

It’s fine as long as well water does not violate river water,"

Lord Long shook his head and said.

Actually, what he wanted to say even more in his heart was that Ghost Blade and Xue Ying combined might not necessarily be a match for Xiao Chen.

He didn’t say it, simply because he didn’t want to embarrass Ghost Blade.

He was also somewhat conflicted inside.

The person behind him used to be the most powerful Family Clan in Capital City, but recently, due to an incident, they were under attack from various major clans.

Although it hadn’t led to their downfall, they were already powerless to interpose in the affairs of Jiangnan Prefecture.

As a result, neighboring Jiangbei Prefecture began to stir with restlessness.

Jiangbei Prefecture and Jiangnan Prefecture were separated by a single river, yet connected by a large bridge.

The economic disparity, however, was vast.

The economy of Jiangnan Prefecture was ten times better than that of Jiangbei Prefecture.

Naturally, the potential profits were also ten times greater.

Moreover, Lord Long had always been at odds with that person from Jiangbei Prefecture.

What he feared most was being attacked from both front and back.

One Xiao Chen, one Jiangbei Prefecture, his frame couldn’t bear it.

But the words of Xiao Chen from just a moment ago suddenly made him understand.

Xiao Chen didn’t wish for the underworld to exist.

Especially those ruthless and brutal underground forces.

They of the Long Family had already been gradually transforming, basically no longer engaging in violent and murderous activities.

They had all but stopped dealings in the underground business.

Rather, they had begun venturing into legitimate business.

But that person from Jiangbei, had evolved the practices of the dark world to the extreme.

Mad and violent.

What Xiao Chen loathed the most must be people like that.

Suddenly, Lord Long thought of a brilliant plan to set a tiger to fight a wolf.

Sometimes, one must be willing to give up something in order to gain something else.

He glanced at Ghost Blade and said, "If we temporarily leave the provincial capital, would you be willing?"

"Lord Long needs only to command, and I will absolutely obey.

But I don’t understand, why evacuate?"

Ghost Blade asked.

"Isn’t it very interesting to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? It just so happens I plan to take a trip to Hong Kong to meet with that Feng Shui Master,"

Lord Long said with a smile.

"You mean, let that madman from Jiangbei Prefecture come over?"

Ghost Blade understood.

"It’s no fun if things are made too clear,"

Lord Long smiled, "That madman from Jiangbei, with the backing he has received in this tumult in Capital City, has gained enormous benefits.

Therefore, he is certain to want to expand his power.

The long-peaceful coasts of Bajiang are likely to see turmoil once again.

When I was young, I killed that madman’s father.

So, he won’t miss this opportunity for revenge, especially now that he has the chance."

Lord Long had been able to rule Jiangnan Prefecture alone for decades, not solely by the might of the Four Vajra.

It was also because of his brains.

He always knew the most correct course of action in the most dangerous situations.

Otherwise, he might have been killed long ago.

"Lord Long, rest assured, whether it’s those from Jiangbei or that Xiao Chen, as long they dare to go against you,

the blade in Ghost Blade’s hand will send them to meet King Yama!"

Ghost Blade said coldly.

"I know, outside it’s the Four Vajra, but I am clear that you are a hundred times stronger than those three!"

Lord Long laughed, having lived for so many years, aside from Xiao Chen, he had never felt danger from anyone else.

It was because he had Ghost Blade by his side.

So this Xiao Chen, was truly fearsome!

...

Xiao Chen returned to the Jianghu Teahouse.

His parents were still resting.

Feeling bored, he called for a Didi and went to Jiangfu University to find Jiang Meng and the others.

Just as the car was about to reach the school, there was a particularly narrow road.

A two-way single lane.

And yet, there was a Porsche parked right on it.
