995 A Truth To Be Told (1/2)

Xiao Jianghu chuckled. ”Do you mean to say… that by pointing out my identity, Leader Yun was giving us a reminder?”

”Yes. If he didn't say anything upon finding it out, we should be suspecting his motives instead.”

Lang Fantian explained honestly, ”He discovered it and blurted it out loud. He's informing us regarding his opinion about it. This young man has always been cool and reliable, he doesn't bend or bow, and does not endeavor to prove himself. There's no need for him to flaunt or boast.”

”This is true,” Xiao Jianghu commented as he mused.

”As for his attitude just now, I think it's inevitable… Our partnership did consist of large sums. Looking at the digits, Yun Yang had more than enough advantage, but more than eighty percent of what he gained was presented to the Spirit's Grave in exchange for the most valuable items. It was us, the General Commerce League, who have easily acquired the exquisite treasure instead.”

Lang Fantian concluded, ”Therefore, this reputable one feels that the current collaboration favors us. It can be carried out for the long term and in order to do that, the first prerequisite is to build a good rapport with Yun Yang. We mustn't rouse his dislike for momentary gain – just like today, multiple trades within a short period of time are Yun Yang's taboo. We'll have to show some sincerity later as recompense.”

Xiao Jianghu's gaze was thoughtful. After a long time of consideration, he suddenly took a turn in the conversation topic. ”The current concentration of spiritual Qi in the Residence of Nine Supremes… is similar to our own headquarters, is it not?”

”Yes,” Lang Fantian answered after a slight pause from the surprise he felt at the sudden question.

”Fantian, haven't you realized the difference? The main reason our league's headquarters has that sort of spiritual Qi environment is due to our middle-class Celestial Luck Banner while the Residence of Nine Supremes doesn't even have the lower class banner now!”

Xiao Jianghu continued grimly. ”If the Residence of Nine Supremes were to obtain the Celestial Luck Banner, the spiritual energy within its vicinity will definitely escalate. At least, it'll be on par with our headquarters. Do you all agree?”

”That's true, it's undeniable.”

”Here comes the issue. Let's not talk about the fact that the Residence of Nine Supremes will have the spiritual atmosphere parallel to a sect bearing the middle-class flag after only acquiring the lower class banner, aren't all of you bewildered by what's already going on now?”

Xiao Jianghu's thick brows met each other in a frown.

”I can basically be sure now that the Residence of Nine Supremes will rise colossally with time and become a formidable enemy of any school in the Bound of Universe as long as there aren't any unusual accidents from now. It's a… massive threat…”

His words were laced with emotions.

Lang Fantian kept quiet for a moment before he spoke up, ”This reputable one thinks that Chief might be overly worried.”

”Hmm?” Xiao Jianghu hummed with a tilt of his head.

Another instant of consideration was taken before Lang Fantian said genuinely, ”This younger brother has something to say that if I don't, I would feel choked.”

Lang Fantian's use of his personal pronoun kept changing. Right now, he no longer called himself by his name, or his status, or his secondary position; his address of himself had suddenly switched to being a younger brother in the midst of the conversation. He had swapped the perspective of the current conversation to one between brothers.

”Do speak,” said Xiao Jianghu.
