"Lee Xun, when can we meet your eight wives?" Lirou asked. Because the four people who were known to be extraordinary, in her opinion, at least, none of them would be inferior to her, Lirou really wanted to know what Lee Xun's eight wives thought. She had to admit that Lee Xun was extremely attractive and what he had said to Yuwen Mu today wasn't entirely a joke. The longer he stayed with Lee Xun, the more she found the feeling of envy and jealousy in his grew.
Lirou was an extremely rational person, it was hard for her to imagine eight outstanding women serving each other together.
Lee Xun had always been very happy, but when he heard Lirou's question, his eyes couldn't help but darken. He had even started to ask himself, when would he be able to meet Qin Qing and Shang Rongrong again?
Seeing that Lee Xun's expression changed and his eyes became sad in an instant, the sensitive Lirou knew that the question he had asked must have touched on Lee Xun's sorrows. He thought back to when he met Lee Xun this morning, and his expression was exactly the same as it was now. The intelligent Lirou could guess that Lee Xun must have suffered some sort of emotional trauma. Even though she only took a glance at that jade pendant, she could tell that it was definitely a token of love.
"Lee Xun, do you have something on your mind?" Lirou said gently. At this moment, she didn't know why he wanted to know this, but it wasn't because of curiosity. Rather, he wanted to understand the hidden meaning behind it and unravel the mystery for Lee Xun.
Suddenly, Lirou realized that the man in front of him who had always been self-confident and occasionally acted cool was laughing until he was crying. That kind of unforgettable pain, only a smart and meticulous girl like her could understand. Lirou didn't think that Lee Xun was purposely pretending to be pitiful in front of him, because it was completely unnecessary. Furthermore, from Lee Xun's smile, she understood that Lee Xun did not need anyone to explain it to him.
"Lee Xun, if you think it through, don't be sad anymore. As long as you are still alive, everything will be fine." Lirou's words were both a word of comfort and a sentence of probing.
"Hehe, yes, I think so too." Lee Xun wiped his tears and laughed.
"I'll take you to pick out some clothes for your wife. The clothes from the several clothing stores in Las Vegas have always triggered the flow of the Sword Soul Continent."
"I'm not buying clothes for them, I can still pick out the jewelry for them. If it's clothes, then they're the ones picking them out themselves." Lee Xun said. From Lee Xun's point of view, it would be best to bring the girls to test their colors, styles, and sizes personally when buying clothes for the girls. Only after personally testing them would he know if they were suitable for it or not, and he could ask the tailor to change it on the spot.
"Hur hur, you are quite meticulous. "Then who are you going to buy clothes for?"
Lee Xun introduced Xia Sha, Lei La and Lin Lei, and of course, revealed a bit of their background. After Lirou found out about this, he brought Lee Xun to a few clothing stores. At the same time, she introduced some of the clothes shops that he liked the most to Lee Xun.
Seeing that it was already past five o'clock, the two of them headed towards the Eastern Emperor Hotel. By the time they arrived, it was already six thirty. The moment he asked, Chendong had already arrived and the two of them went to the room Chendong had booked.
"Yi, how did you two come here at the same time? Where's Sister Sisi?" Chendong asked.
"I happened to meet them in the morning and was forced to be their escort, playing until now. Princess Sisi has some matters to attend to, so she said that she would be back for dinner, so I believe that she should be there by now. " When Lee Xun said this, he had already realized that Princess Sisi was here to stay.
Before they had much to say, Princess Sisi opened the door and entered. After sitting down, he finished the juice in front of Lirou and patted her chest.
"Sister Sisi, you're too busy." Chendong laughed.
"Isn't it all because of this guy?" Princess Sisi pointed at Lee Xun.
Lee Xun said innocently: "Princess Sisi, your words are very ambiguous."
Chendong and Lirou both laughed out loud. Princess Sisi acted as if she wanted to beat Lee Xun up, and then said: "Just like Chendong, call me Sister Sisi, then Princess and all that sort of thing is for outsiders to call you."
Lirou also said shyly, "Lee Xun, just call me Rou in the future."
Lee Xun did not think too much into it, and nodded with a smile.
"Lee Xun, Chendong is a rich man, why don't you have a chat with him?" The meaning behind Princess Sisi's words was very obvious. Chendong was someone to be trusted.
Lee Xun and Chendong looked at each other and smiled, and then nodded in tacit understanding.
Princess Sisi and Lirou were both extremely shrewd people, seeing the tacit understanding between the two, they immediately understood. Princess Sisi said: "Alright you, Lee Xun. After we left last night, you and Chendong should have talked things over."
Lee Xun could only nod his head and laugh: "You already said that he is a rich man, how could I not think of him?"
"That's good. This way, it'll be more convenient for the four of us to talk." I got some information from Wan's Chamber of Commerce, but didn't worry about anything else. Just based on what they said, Wan's Chamber of Commerce's final move is to find Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce to cooperate. However, the terms of the cooperation must be very harsh, so they won't go for now. However, I believe that they will definitely go for it in the end. In order to protect themselves, they would probably agree to any conditions. Also, it's because of the conflict between you and Yuwen Mu. If you let them know that you planned so many things behind the scenes, the cooperation between the two families could be said to be certain. " Princess Sisi said worriedly.
"This point was something that I had thought of a long time ago and I have also discussed it with Jing'er. Our conclusion is that if Wan's Chamber of Commerce goes to cooperate with us, it will only hasten his own demise. Yuwen Mu was indeed a dangerous factor, but he was not the one in charge of Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce at the moment. Wan's Chamber of Commerce were wolves that couldn't be fed to the head, so Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce would definitely not allow a wolf to be his partner. Even if they worked together, it would take the opportunity to devour it. Furthermore, once Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce joins this merchant war, then the scale will definitely not be normal, and at that time, even if Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce does not find friends, there will still be a large number of capable merchant guilds coming forth, what do you guys think? " Lee Xun said.
"Lee Xun, I feel that what you said makes sense, but what if the Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce has such a huge ambition and wants to devour both the Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce and the Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce?" Lirou also voiced out his worries.
"Hehe, then I really beg of grandpa and grandma to help me do this. Didn't you say that it would be a waste if I didn't do business? As long as Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce is involved, I will accompany them and have fun. Speaking of which, I feel that it's getting more and more unsatisfying. " These few days, Lee Xun had been running all over the place about Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce, feeling extremely happy in his heart, and also became more and more excited. Besides feeling a sense of accomplishment, he also made many friends, such as the three in front of him.
If not for the Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce backing him up, he would truly have thought that he could create so many miracles in the past few years. In my opinion, it's nothing more than an embroidered pillow. " Princess Sisi said disdainfully.
Lee Xun could not help but ask: "What do you mean by that?"
"Yuwen Mu, it can't be that this is your first time seeing him, right? We were almost deceived, and this was all thanks to Rou's grandfather. " Princess Sisi looked at Lirou.
Seeing that, Lirou said shyly: Why are you looking at me, you should continue talking, I'm not sure.
Princess Sisi giggled and then said: "Then I'll say it. Yuwen Mu had always wanted to marry Shangguan Jing'er, but now, he was as good as dead. It just so happened that our Rou's marriage was annulled a few days ago, so Yuwen Mu immediately stuck close to it, do you think that Rou would fall for this kind of person? Because Rou's grandfather received the request from Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce Guild Master Yuwen Lu to the two families to marry each other, she secretly investigated Yuwen Mu. In the end, she unexpectedly discovered that Yuwen Mu's achievements in the past few years could be said to have been single-handedly created by his Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce. It can only be said that we, Rou, are too smart.
Lee Xun could not help but think, being able to find out about all these was indeed not simple, and from another aspect, it was proof that Shangguan Jing'er had never given Yuwen Mu a single chance. Otherwise, with Shangguan Jing'er's intelligence that was not inferior to his, how could she not have noticed it?
"Rou, the Guihai Clan has agreed to break off the engagement? Why haven't I received the news yet? " Chendong said.
Rou and Guihai Jingyun were both unwilling to accept this marriage, and it was expected for the marriage to be annulled, but the news has not been announced yet, so very few people know about it. I really do not know how the Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce found out, but from this point, I have to admire their information network. Princess Sisi said, after that she seemed to have thought of something, and shouted loudly: "Aiya, did you guys order anything, why have you not served me yet, I'm starving to death."
Lee Xun and the other two could not help but laugh, this Princess Sisi did not look like a princess at all. Chendong laughed: "Check it out, I'll get them to go up right now, and then pressed the crystal stone button on the wall."
Soon, a sumptuous dinner was served.
As they ate, Lee Xun said with interest: "There is actually someone who would take the initiative to end the engagement with Rou. What kind of person is this Guihai Jingyun that you all are talking about, I actually really want to get to know him."
Chendong laughed: "Lee Xun, you will definitely meet this person in the future. Furthermore, he will most likely personally come to find you."
Lee Xun was a little puzzled and asked: "You wouldn't say that he likes men, right?"
"Puchi", the Princess Sisi immediately covered her mouth, afraid that she would vomit something out from laughing.
Chendong continued to laugh: "Hehe, your joke is a bit cold. Guihai Jingyun was the only son of Guihai Jinghong, the current Patriarch of the Guihai Clan, one of the ten great Seclusion Family s. However, he had been selected as a disciple by an expert since he was young, so he had never grown up with the clan leader of Guihai Clan. Instead, he lived together with his master. When he brought his junior sister back to get married, he was told that he was going to be engaged to Rou. In the end, a huge ruckus occurred in the Guihai Family, so he brought his junior sister to find Rou. Rou didn't have any feelings for him, so how could she possibly disagree? It was just that Gui Hai, Jing Hong, was not willing to give up on Rou, so he kept dragging it out. I'm afraid something must have happened recently and I can't drag it on any longer. As for why he came to find you, it is because he is a genius who is on par with Yi Liu. The two of them have fought before, but there was no clear victor, you win against Yi Liu, how can he not come to you? "
Hearing that, Lee Xun really wanted to get to know this Guihai Jingyun, and said: "Then I will wait for him to come.
Princess Sisi could not help but rolled her eyes at Lee Xun: "Didn't you already win, what's there to be nostalgic about."
"Hehe, sometimes battles are not about winning or losing. You are not a cultivator, so it's hard to understand." Lee Xun laughed.
"Oh right, Lee Xun, what do you want to play in the gambling house tonight? I heard that Yuwen Mu will also come, and Xu Kui also said that he will bring her sister here." Chendong asked.
"I just want to know if it's still last night's card?" Lee Xun laughed sinisterly.
"Alright, Lee Xun, Chendong, did you cheat last night?" Princess Sisi suddenly realized.
"Sister Sisi, don't wrongly accuse Chendong, he is an honest man. I did use some tricks last night, but Chendong didn't know about it beforehand, so it's true that this is the first time I've met him. " Lee Xun quickly helped Chendong establish his name.
"Lee Xun, quickly tell me, how did you do it? Let me have a good look too, so that I won't be tricked in the future by others. That card is specially made. Except for the five casinos in Las Vegas. " Princess Sisi was a little excited.
How could Lee Xun release the "Glacial Lotus Fruit"? Although he could control the "Glacial Lotus Fruit", its pressure was too strong, ordinary people like the Princess Sisi and Lirou were unable to resist it. Just a glance at it would cause them to faint, and could even harm their souls.
"There is no such thing as absolute. The only way I can do it is for me to use it myself. Others cannot do it. And others might have other methods, so don't believe there's a fair bet. " Lee Xun said.
"Aiya, just demonstrate for a bit and it'll be fine." The Princess Sisi still refused to give up.
Lee Xun was helpless against this Princess Sisi. After all, he had already acknowledged this sister in his heart, and could not bear to keep on giving her face, so he had to be serious: "Demonstration is okay, but you must guarantee that only you all know. If someone knows about it, you all might end up getting killed. Do you all still want to watch?"
Chendong, Princess Sisi and Lirou nodded without even thinking. They were very confident in being able to control their own mouths.
Seeing that, Lee Xun could only hold onto a wine cup. Facing the light, he said: All of you look carefully, what difference does this wine cup have?
Right after Lee Xun finished speaking, the three of them saw glittering ice particles appear on the wine cup.
"Lee Xun, is this an ice Elemental Power? But it's impossible for the Elemental Power to affect that specially-made card. " Chendong was shocked.
"This is not an ice Elemental Power, you don't need to know too clearly for now, this is for your own good. That's how I marked the cards, but it was certainly not as obvious as on the glass. "
