Jiang Chen, Chen Bo, and Wang Xuan had been waiting outside all along.

A moment later, Su Qing and Xu Liang emerged, one after the other.

Xu Liang immediately apologized, “Fellow Daoist, I am truly sorry!”

Seeing the distinct shoe print on the other’s face, Jiang Chen suddenly realized something. This person is the one who forced me and another female spirit farmer to sell our rice during my first visit to the Red Leaf Valley market.

Xu Liang shuddered under the scrutiny and promptly took out fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones from his storage pouch. “I was blinded by greed, harming your business and causing your friend to suffer severe injuries. This is a small compensation.”

Jiang Chen did not immediately take them. Instead, he looked at Chen Bo beside him with a questioning glance. Seeing the other give a slight nod, he then accepted the fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Seeing this, Xu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In truth, he was very puzzled. He had clearly investigated; Jin Fugui and Mo Yu simply didn’t have much background or connections.

One was a Foundation Establishment stage formal disciple of the Rain Pavilion. The other was a Qi Condensation stage formal disciple of Beast Mountain.

Precisely because of this, he thought they would be easy to bully. Using the name of the Harvest Alliance to intimidate them should have been enough to snatch the business from Fire Peak.

He never expected that this rarely seen third person could actually find Chen Tian’s cousin and even alarm his own superior, Su Qing. It was truly unbelievable.

However, Xu Liang didn’t recognize Jiang Chen. They had only met once, and Jiang Chen had used a fake name at that time.

At this moment, Su Qing stepped forward with a smile. “I should also thank you all. If you hadn’t spoken up about this matter, who knows how much longer I would have been deceived by this fellow.”

Chen Bo cupped his hands. “Not at all, not at all. Fellow Daoist Su stepping forward to take charge and resolve this matter with us shows both beauty and kindness!”

Being flattered by Chen Tian’s cousin put Su Qing in an excellent mood. She immediately asked, “In that case, is this matter considered settled?”

Chen Bo exchanged a glance with Jiang Chen before nodding. “Yes, it’s settled!”

Su Qing blinked. “Then shall we discuss that first matter?”

“Discuss,” Chen Bo affirmed.

Then, he and Su Qing entered the room to discuss the first matter—the various spirit plants that Chen Tian currently needed.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, Xu Liang, and Wang Xuan were left looking at each other, all feeling somewhat awkward to varying degrees.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Chen Bo and Su Qing walked out of the room together, smiling. Clearly, their discussion was finished.

Chen Bo said to Jiang Chen, “Junior Brother, let’s take Wang Xuan and go.”

Soon, the three headed outside the trading point.

Xu Liang stared fiercely at Wang Xuan’s retreating back, grinding his teeth in frustration.

If only that guy had shown a little more backbone, his own outcome wouldn’t have been so miserable.

Su Qing said coldly, “What? Are you still planning revenge?”

“No! How would I dare seek revenge against someone connected to Chen Tian!” Xu Liang shrank his neck in fear.

Jiang Chen, Chen Bo, and Wang Xuan arrived outside the trading point entrance.

Chen Bo looked at Wang Xuan, who kept trembling non-stop, then waved his hand. “You may go.”

Wang Xuan was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. He tentatively asked, “I… can leave?”

Chen Bo shrugged. “If you don’t leave, are you waiting for Xu Liang’s revenge?”

“I’m leaving! I’m leaving right now! Thank you both for sparing my life!” Wang Xuan snapped out of it, turned around, and ran without daring to delay another second.

However, having offended Xu Liang, Jiang Chen, and also the formation master Han Xin… his days ahead were likely going to be difficult.

At this point, Chen Bo smiled slightly. “I know.”

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Bo’s eyes as he stated firmly, “If setting up a stall at Fire Peak could really earn that much money in a day… it wouldn’t be your turn anyway.”

Actually, he had also lied. Mo Yu clearly wasn’t injured but was now described as having suffered “severe injuries.”

The reason for saying this was purely to make Su Qing take this matter seriously—especially so they could get more compensation.

From this, it could be seen they were quite in sync; without prior discussion, they actually cooperated very well.

Jiang Chen took out the fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones given by Xu Liang. “Senior Brother Chen, if you hadn’t helped this time, things definitely wouldn’t have been resolved easily.”

But Chen Bo didn’t even glance at them. “That’s compensation for you. Keep it yourself.”

Seeing the other didn’t want to accept it, Jiang Chen weighed things in his heart and said, “Then how about this: from now on, every month you’ll receive twenty percent of our profits from Fire Peak.”

“If I were after Spirit Stones…” Chen Bo frowned.

However, before he could finish, Jiang Chen quickly interrupted, “Senior Brother, please don’t refuse.”

Seeing the sincere look on Jiang Chen’s face, Chen Bo had no choice but to agree. “Alright then.”

Afterward, Jiang Chen started looking for Han Xin, only to find she had already left. There was no choice but to find another time to thank her properly.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen returned home. Seeing Da Huang and the pearl chickens were both fine, he finally relaxed. Then he took out a Communication Talisman to contact Jin Fugui and Mo Yu.

Not long after, both arrived together.

Jin Fugui hurriedly asked, “Old Jiang, how did things go?”

Mo Yu beside him also looked on nervously.

Jiang Chen replied, “For now, the matter is considered resolved. That guy named Xu Liang has apologized to us and even compensated us.”

After saying this, he took out the fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Seeing so many Spirit Stones, Jin Fugui and Mo Yu both widened their eyes.

Jiang Chen continued, “Same as before: I take seventy percent, Old Jin twenty percent, Old Mo ten percent.”

“No problem.” Neither had any objections.

In the end, Jiang Chen received thirty-five Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Jin Fugui got ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones. As for Mo Yu, this person who suffered “severe injuries” received five Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Looking at their happy faces, Jiang Chen couldn’t smile. His expression turned serious as he said, “There’s one more thing I need to discuss with you two.”

“What?” Jin Fugui and Mo Yu suddenly tensed up.

Jiang Chen said seriously, “Senior Brother Chen Bo helped us the most in this matter. To express gratitude, I gave him twenty percent of our future profits.”

Hearing this, Jin Fugui fell silent.

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, showing understanding. “It should be done. This time, it really was my impulsiveness. I shouldn’t have made that bet with that guy. It’s fine if my ten percent is gone.”

Seeing neither was angry, Jiang Chen continued, “First, twenty percent of our total profit goes to Senior Brother Chen. The remaining eighty percent will still be divided according to our previous proportions.”
