Liu Sisi smiled, “Mrs. Su is making a big deal out of it. Actually, the incident was just a coincidence. Sisi happened to be saved by a passing hero.”

Her eyes were particularly deep.

She knew what these people wanted to know. But how could she tell them things she didn’t know herself?

Mrs. Su half-covered her face with a handkerchief and laughed, “Miss from the Liu Family is joking! It seems that you are the only one who got the protection edict from the Leader of the Li Sect.”

Huh? Who is the Leader of the Li Sect?

Liu Sisi was completely in the dark and couldn’t understand what was going on.

“Sisi doesn’t know any Leader of the Li Sect, Madam must have mistaken me for someone else,” Liu Sisi said firmly.

Mrs. Su’s eyes flashed, and she laughed, “It’s good not to know. This is probably what people often say about ignorance being bliss.” Having said that, she immediately changed the topic and led the conversation elsewhere.

Everyone else laughed and started chatting casually.

Liu Sisi hardly spoke unless someone spoke to her, then she would say a few words. The rest of the time, she sat quietly and daydreamed.

Sitting next to Liu Sisi was a portly married woman with a beaming smile, her eyes almost closed when she laughed, making her look especially cheerful.

Seeing that Liu Sisi didn’t seem to like talking, she smiled at her, “I heard your name is Sisi? My husband’s family name is Ran, and we are salt merchants.”

This immediately caught Liu Sisi’s attention.

She remembered reading in books about how wealthy salt merchants were. Now that she had met a salt merchant’s wife, her interest was piqued.

“So, you are Mrs. Ran. Pleased to meet you,” she said.

“I see you don’t talk much, is this your first time at this kind of gathering? Actually, there’s nothing to be nervous about, you’ll get used to it once you come more often,” Mrs. Ran said casually.

It was clear that she was very talkative, and in a short time, she had chatted about various topics.

By the time the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet ended, she had already talked with Liu Sisi for a long time. As they chatted, and noticing that no one was paying attention, Liu Sisi quickly asked, “What was Mrs. Su talking about earlier? What’s the story with the Leader of the Li Sect?”

Mrs. Ran’s smile vanished, and she scanned Liu Sisi up and down, “You really don’t know?”

“I really don’t know. Is it strange that I should know?”

Liu Sisi was extremely curious, as she remembered the same expressions on people’s faces when she said she didn’t know the Leader of the Li Sect earlier.

“Ah! I just didn’t expect that you didn’t know,” she said.

Mrs. Ran took Liu Sisi’s hand and began to explain in detail, “To talk about the Leader of the Li Sect, we have to start with the Li Sect. The Li Sect suddenly appeared 30 years ago and quickly grew in strength. At first, they were only involved in a few industries, but in just three years, they had expanded to cover almost all profitable industries. It’s not an exaggeration to describe them as wealthy enough to rival a country.”
