Chapter 722 - Please, God, Give Me Endless Weekend (2/2)

Shu Si.

Although he had just stepped into the world of immortal cultivation, and in the eyes of many people, he had yet to shed away his mortal bound, but this young man had gradually become an important member of the City of Immortals.

Of course, when it came to status, Shu Si was still far from Luo Xiao himself. But, for these businessmen, what they value was investment value, not status.

When it came to investment value, was it worth to visit him personally, a rising star who has past his prime?

As a matter of fact, even Shu Si didn’t understand this problem. Deadface told him to come, but he didn’t tell him what to do. So it was really confusing.

Thus, he had to improvise.

“Yes, cooperation.”

Shu Si said, while at the same time, he racked his brain to think about how to cooperate with this bald man.

He came from Hua Yan School, and gradually showed his talent from obscurity. After that, he was accepted as the Successor Disciple of Four Element Supreme. He also had several encounters with w.a.n.g Lu. Although the outcome of those fights was not positive for him, he showed his excellent strength. And then…

And then there seemed to be nothing worth mentioning. Originally, he was expected to emerge in the Grand Compet.i.tion. However, since the form of the compet.i.tion had changed, he also lost the opportunity to perform. It was said that because of this he was so depressed.

Hold on, if that was the case…

Shu Si thought of something and had a flash of inspiration.

“I want to work with you so that you can get the opportunity to compete.”

“Oh?” Luo Xiao’s interest seemed to have been piqued, “Why do you want to do this?”

Shu Si said, “Because you have investment value. No matter what other people say, you are the most outstanding disciple, and you are also a person with a rich legendary character. You have the advantage that others can’t match, you are more talented than those who had been trained by famous sects since they were young. Your rise is more dependent on your own efforts, which resonates more with the common people. And…”

Hearing this, Luo Xiao smiled and said, “And now you want to invest in me, the cost is also relatively low, right?”

Shu Si said, “… Please understand, I am a businessman after all.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Luo Xiao waved his hand and ignored the fact about his low-cost value.

However, when Shu Si thought that he was about to get the deal, he heard Luo Xiao say, “I’m grateful for your consideration of me, but it’s a pity that I now have no intention of partic.i.p.ating in the Grand Compet.i.tion.”

Upon hearing this, Shu Si was shocked, “What?”

“Recently, I have something important to do and will soon go into a closed-door training. I’m afraid I can’t cooperate with others. So, thank you for coming today, but I’m sorry, I can only decline your offer.”

With that, Luo Xiao got up and walked the guest out, not giving Shu Si any chance to respond.

——

“You mean that he claimed to have something important to do, so he couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Compet.i.tion?”

Shu Si helplessly said, “Yes, and after that he quickly shooed me out, not giving me any chance to talk.”

“Well…”

Inside the house, Deadface lost in thoughts, which was rare for him.

Shu Si’s heart immediately fell. Things had come to this, but Deadface still refused to give up?

How tempting this Luo Xiao was? Was it worth his persistence?

“The way I see it since he is so uncooperative, we don’t need to be totally shameless. What’s more, wouldn’t others think it strange if they see it?”

“Then not only you should continue to invite him, but you also need to make a big show to make everyone in the city know. As for the reason, it’s to buy hearts and minds. You are a rookie in this City of Immortals, so it’s reasonable for you to invite people.”

“What? Deadface, who is this Luo Xiao? You are too good for him!”

“Little Mouse, I’ll give you freedom after this.”

“I…” Shu Si was shocked, “What-what did you say?”

“After this, I will travel far away. I’m afraid I won’t see you again for decades. So you don’t have to worry about me taking everything away from you.”

Shu Si was surprised, “What are you talking about? Everything that I have is given by you. Whenever you want to take them back, if I even wrinkle my brow, let me be struck by lightning! My soul flies away!”

“Oh, that’s nice. Are you really willing to part with your wealth and rank? And those gentle girls?”

“… Well, even if I do have some reluctance, I never thought about asking you to go! What should I do without you? How could I manage such a big business?”

“I’ve never told you how to do it except for a few key decisions. You have done a good job. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll be safe and secure, rich and worry-free.”

For a while, Shu Si was stupefied. However, somehow, in his heart, he felt more and more frightened instead.

When Deadface was there, he was afraid of him. But if Deadface was not there, the fear in his heart would only grow stronger.

“But, what about my cultivation?”

“Well, you never like to cultivate.”

Words suddenly seemed to be stuck in Shu Si’s throat.

“… Do you really want to go?”

“After this, we will part our ways. So, do it well.”

Shu Si was silent for a long time.

“Although I don’t know exactly what you want to do since it’s your request, I will do it anyway.”
