Xu Qi didn’t reply to Xu Pingfan He chuckled a little, then sat on the bedside His legs dangled off the bed, giving a carefree atmosphere
Just by looking at Xu Qi, Xu Pingfan understood the forht’s trip, but he didn’t want to enquire about the details He pondered for a while, then reported, “Young Master, Helian Clan and Liang Clan got wind of hts and have sent people to get in contact with , but both clans wanted an exclusive deal Do you think I should do so behind the scenes?”
“Don’t bother, Uncle Mang Let it go if the price is right There is no need to offend them We won’t have it easy if we offend either of them, and they will retaliate if we take it too far,” Xu Qi answered
“All right then As you wish, Young Master Also, I have found a suitable place that you asked for, and construction is already underway It should be cofan replied
“That’s fast Thank you, Uncle Mang But you must keep in mind that this matter must never be leaked Otherwise, it will be disastrous for us” Xu Qi felt pretty happy with Xu Pingfan’s capabilities

“Ninety-nine? All right, Young Master I will do ot repri too many questions, he didn’t dare speak out, no matter how doubtful he was; he’ll just do as he’s told
The truth was, there was no real reason for requesting ninety-nine He didn’t care about the number; he just said it for superstitious reasons However, his words caused Xu Pingfan to tense up
“Uncle Mang You’ll help with these matters I don’t wish to appear in public anymore I want to cultivate in peace for some time; don’t let anybody disturb me Also, no need to feel anxious if you can’t findme food now and then From now on, your words will be final in Xu Clan That’s all I want to rest now You go, too,” When Xu Qi spoke these words, there wasn’t any discussion; it was an order He even drove Xu Pingfan away now
