"Yes, my place is indeed very lively. Are you here to join in the fun too?"
Compared with An Yue's entanglement, Xu Xiang seems much more relaxed. This is of course true. Although Li Gexiao's arrival cannot be said to give him a guaranteed victory and 100% preservation of the Sunset Fortress, it will at least be much better than the previous situation. Even if
Qingtian also has a greater chance of winning if he chooses to help the Wolf Fang Moon Guild.
"So be it." Li Ge smiled and shrugged, and said lightly, "Uncle Zhanjian said you were in trouble, so I came over to take a look."
Li Gexiao's tone was very casual, but to be able to travel a million yards from the Extreme Cold Castle to the Sunset Fortress was obviously more than just hearing that there was trouble. At least it was certain that he regarded Xu Xiang as a friend, that kind of thing
A true friend worthy of his support.
"Thanks……"
As for the meaning of Li Ge's joke, Xu Xiang naturally knew very well. Only those who can decisively lend a helping hand in times of crisis are called friends. However, even if you are a friend, it is still necessary to thank you for your help. Unfortunately, just when he opened his mouth,
The words were immediately interrupted.
"Hey, wait a minute, don't say thank you yet."
The person who interrupted Xu Xiang was Li Gexiao himself, whom he wanted to thank. Then the leader of the Faith Mercenary Group paused and said in a tone that was both joking and very serious: "I didn't say that.
I’m helping you for free. You also know that I’m a mercenary, and you, the president of the first guild of the Bridian Empire, shouldn’t be short of money, right?”
Hearing Li Gexiao's words, Xu Xiang couldn't help being slightly stunned. Yes, money has become a simple number in his eyes, without any meaning, but the other party is not the same.
Don't forget, Li Gexiao is the leader of the largest mercenary group in the Bridian Empire. Even if his wealth is not as good as Xu Xiang's, it is definitely measured in billions. In addition, he is also a top
Experts, asking for money is not an easy task, but "Dispute" is a world where strength alone speaks for itself.
"I am indeed not short of money." Xu Xiang, who was dazed for only a moment and came back to his senses in a blink of an eye, said with a slight smile.
"I won't be polite if you say this." A faint smile also appeared on Li Ge's face, and then he continued to talk to himself, "There are hundreds of people in my mercenary group to support.
, don’t blame me for being a lion, the Chinese New Year will be coming in a few months, and a year-end bonus is always necessary..."
"I don't mind your big mouth." For some reason, the smile on Xu Xiang's face became even stronger, and then he spread his hands with a look of regret, "But it's a pity that the finances of the Utopia Guild are not under my control.
So it’s useless for you to tell me.”
"It's not your responsibility? Hey, hey, hey, aren't you the president of the Utopia Guild?" Xu Xiang's words, which didn't sound like he was joking, made Li Gexiao's expression become incredulous. This is normal.
Yes, you must know that finance is the lifeline of a guild. If nothing else, it will be directly managed by the president, at least not entirely handed over to others.
But in fact, just as Xu Xiang said, the finances of the Ideal Township Guild are not under his control. To be precise, it also includes Cangqiong Drug Store, and even the formal interference is becoming less and less.
Fortunately, Li Gexiao was not confused for long. Before Xu Xiang could open his mouth to explain, a certain beautiful lady who had full control over the finances of Ideal Township Guild and Cangqiong Pharmacy had already stood up on her own initiative and said, "This president is a complete person.
I completely let go of the shopkeeper, I am in charge of the finances, what, do you have any objections?"
Naturally, there is no other beautiful lady who stands up. With such a strong voice, the answer is already obvious.
In fact, it cannot be said that the finances of the Utopia Guild and Cangqiong Drug Store are all controlled by Shangguan Duwu, but she is the processing terminal. Fang Xinyu, who also has a very high IQ, is helping, and I only know how to pick up girls. The actual management of Cangqiong Drug Store
The person has a certain degree of autonomy.
"No objection, no objection."
Li Gexiao may have heard about the power of Shangguan Duwu, or he may have followed the principle that a good man should not quarrel with women and avoid being aggressive for the time being, but it seemed that he was unwilling to be defeated like this, and he said "no objection" before he finished.
He then murmured again: "I have long felt that the relationship between the two of them is unusual. It seems that not only is it unusual, but I guess they are already having an affair."
Li Gexiao's voice was not loud, but in the relatively quiet venue, it was still heard relatively clearly in the ears of most people, including the two parties involved.
"Huh? Li Gexiao, what did you say? What does it mean to have an affair? We are innocent..." The first person to refute Li Gexiao was not Shangguan Duwu, a girl who should be more sensitive of course, but Xu Xiang.
, he spoke out almost subconsciously.
However, before Xu Xiang could say the word "innocent", he suddenly stopped because he felt several sharp eyes coming from behind, making him feel like a ray of light on his back.
Quietly turning his head and glancing with his peripheral vision, Xu Xiang discovered that the owners of these sharp glances were actually several girls including Shangguan Duwu himself, and the information revealed in their eyes was clearly - "Xu Xiang
Xiang, are you sure you (we) are really innocent?"
The answer to this question is undoubtedly no. Shangguan Duwu was forcibly pushed down by Xu Xiang due to a strange combination of circumstances. The evidence is irrefutable and cannot be disputed.
After reacting, Xu Xiang, who was a little guilty, had a tendency to break out in a cold sweat. He turned around and smiled at Li Ge, as well as the question-filled eyes of many other people present. Driven by the sharp looks of several women, he paused slightly.
Later, he changed his words: "Even if it's an affair..."
Even if I have a leg?!
Hearing this unexpected answer, most people, including Li Gexiao, the instigator, were shocked. After all, Shangguan Duwu, the most beautiful woman in the Bridian Empire, was a beauty who could be considered a dream lover among male compatriots.
It's impossible to say that I don't have any ideas, but now I got such news.
I think Xu Xiang will become a real public enemy of men in a short period of time, the kind that everyone shouts and beats when crossing the street.
It's just that not everyone has such a violent reaction. For example, Qingtian still maintains the calm expression of Gujing. Satchell's empire and female identity may also be the reason, but her own personality must be the biggest reason. Just like her.
It started to appear as mentioned, just for a look.
As for the other person who didn't react much to this, An Yue was. Unfortunately, compared to Qingtian, he was more concerned about the next direction of the Wolf Fang Moon Guild and had no time to pay attention to other things.
ps: This half-month pause is due to some problems with Rookie's health and family. I won't go into details. I would like to thank my friends who have always supported me. This is Rookie's first real novel, so I will definitely work hard.
To achieve perfection, you will at least achieve a complete completion.
