The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 410 - 243: Opening Remarks

Quan Shifang stood in front of Ning Xiaoxian. As soon as the car door opened, he immediately locked eyes with Mr. Miluo.

These two men, one stood erect, the other lazily leaned; one bright and clear, the other exhibiting dragon and phoenix grace, both were rare handsome men. Bystanders who saw them, for some reason, all fell silent.

Quan Shifang, tall and slender, intentionally or unintentionally turned to one side, shielding Ning Xiaoxian behind him. Mr. Miluo’s brow moved slightly, giving Quan Shifang a rather unfriendly look.

The two men faced each other, speechless for a moment, but it seemed like a turbulent undercurrent had begun to swirl in the air.

It seemed that neither of them liked the look in each other’s eyes.

In the end, Mr. Miluo was the first to speak. Languidly reclining on the car’s low table, he said, "Quan Shaohua, I am still unwell from my old illness, so I will not stand to greet you."

Quan Shifang responded with a gentle smile: "If Mr. Miluo is feeling unwell, it is better to lie down."

It turned out that the two knew each other.

"Long time no see," Ning Xiaoxian moved aside and looked at the fox demon, "Your sudden appearance here, what guidance do you have?" She emphasized the word "sudden" heavily.

Those ruby-like eyes sized her up from head to toe, the malicious intent made her want to cover herself. It was not until Quan Shifang frowned and tried to stand in front of her again that Mr. Miluo lightly said, "Little girl, you have a big appetite, Ruoshui Ferry still cannot satisfy you."

She lifted her eyes to meet those mockingly smiling eyes, and couldn’t help but grimace. This fox had always been cunning, and now he had seen right through her!

Indeed, she wanted Jishi Building’s Ruoshui Ferry. Theoretically, if she could unravel the secret of the unsinkable river, she could start anew and claim a share, but that was just theoretical. She didn’t have the time to chop bamboo for three hundred years at Copper Mountain, nor did she have the time and energy to hire someone to manage this business. So if she could take over this goose that lays golden eggs from Jishi Building, that would be ideal.

But why would Jishi Building let her make money comfortably? She still needed a guarantee from Jin Manyi.

As she pondered, she suddenly heard Mr. Miluo’s transmitted voice: "Are you hurt?" Her complexion and lips were pale, her face haggard, clearly having been recovering from an injury for a while without being fully healed. This girl’s physique was different from ordinary people, the injury that kept her from recovering for days must have been severe.

There was a hint of light concern in his words, but as Ning Xiaoxian looked up at him, he leaned back as if nothing happened and said, "In that case, I will join the fun too. If you can solve the mystery of Ruoshui, I will give you one of my banks." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

She blinked, then blinked again, somewhat baffled. She was making a bet with Jin Manyi, why was this man joining in, eagerly offering her money? Knowing Mr. Miluo, he rarely made a losing deal.

Sure enough, he continued, "If you lose, your deed of sell will need to be signed with me. Miss Jin, you have no objections, right?" After saying that, he turned to Jin Manyi.

Jin Manyi was stunned for a moment, before asking, "Why would you need her?"

The men present all knew what this meant. Mr. Miluo did not answer the question, but just silently watched Jin Manyi, his smile somewhat cold.

Jin Manyi was reluctant, but looking at Mr. Miluo, she finally bit her lip and said softly, "Alright."

Ning Xiaoxian was very angry. Mr. Miluo owed her a huge favor for saving his life, and now he was scheming with Jin Manyi against her—clearly taking revenge for the mockery in Wutuo City. This man was as petty as the tip of a needle; he wasn’t a fox, he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

However, if they wanted to outsmart Granny, they would both lose cleanly! "Alright, so let it be!" Her eyes sparkled, not only with the anticipation of money coming in, but also with blazing anger. Mr. Miluo, seeing her expression, felt that giving up the bank was indeed worth it.

Quan Shifang, standing beside her, became anxious and grabbed her arm saying, "Not good! We can just take a detour, this bet is not worth it." The fox demon’s interest
