lone star legend

Chapter 248 The young master of the city that never sleeps

"Since the East China Sea Crystal Palace came out on top a hundred years ago, our Yunxiao Nightless City and Saibei Soul Refining Valley can only retire as agreed, and work hard to cultivate new forces in order to make a comeback. For the past hundred years, each of us has been thinking about this new world all the time. For this reason, Saibei Soul Refining Valley went overseas, united with some small local families, and gradually formed its power, but our Yunxiao Night City wasted precious time and opportunities because of trivial matters, so that in the early stage I am in the most unfavorable position in the preparation. Lone Star, I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled to failing again, you ordinary people cannot understand the feeling, I want to make my family stronger, I want the world to know that I am Yunxiao The reputation of the city that never sleeps, for which I have given everything I can, because I firmly believe that man will conquer the sky, and it doesn’t matter if the foundation is poor. I have the confidence to rely on my efforts to catch up with them and eventually surpass them. It is also because of this persistence that I alone Against the consensus of the public, he chose a more difficult path." At this moment, the profiteer looked very excited, with an unyielding expression on his face.

"You gave up the opportunity to compete with the other two heirs in the peerless world, and chose to be a profit-seeking businessman. This choice is the most painful for you." A master in reality, but in another In the world, he can only become a businessman who is looked down upon by others and pursues the maximization of profits. It is difficult for people to accept the loss in his heart, but a profiteer has done this. With this patience alone, he is definitely a terrible person. People, being an enemy of him, it is really chilling to think about it.

"That's right, if I want to achieve what ordinary people can't, I have to endure what ordinary people can't bear. Only by winning by surprise can I reverse my previous unfavorable situation." The profiteer proudly said, after all, this is not something ordinary people can do.

"You have transferred your power underground, and on the surface it is just King Li's ice war brigade. You want to show your weakness to the enemy and make the other two families lose their wariness against you. Then you will come out at the right time when both sides are hurt?"

"That's right, Lone Star, have you heard of the Adventurer's Guild? This organization was established by me alone." The profiteer said proudly.

It is really unexpected that there is such a big secret behind the purely commercial combination in the eyes of the world. "Why did you tell me this? This should be your biggest secret." I asked suspiciously. Although the profiteer at this moment may say something that he would not normally say because of emotional problems, it should definitely not be this, profiteer Such a person is born to do great things. He may have a place as a friend in his heart, but his loyalty to the family will never exceed him.In his mind, everything can be given up for the sake of the family.

"Yeah, why, why did I tell you this? Lone Star, I don't understand what's wrong with me, I just think you should know this, it seems that this is what I have to tell you, but why do you want to do this, even I can't say it myself. I don't know if you have this feeling. Back in Xuanwu City, although we met for the first time, I felt like we had been apart for a long time. Brother, we seem to be brothers who were separated when we were young. Haha, what a ridiculous idea." I never imagined that such emotional words would come from such a rational mouth as a profiteer, but looking at the young man in front of me, I couldn't calm down for a while.

To be honest, I am also very confused about profiteers.The other party is definitely a utilitarian, and everything is aimed at maximizing interests. Originally, I would not even bother to associate with such a person, but the fact is that it is just as the profiteer said, when I first met the profiteer in Xuanwu City At that time, I had an inexplicable fondness for it. It was a very strange feeling. It was a call from the deepest part of my soul.

"The prodigal son is from Saibei Soul Refining Valley who went overseas, right?" I suddenly changed the subject.

"Well, he is the young master of Soul Refining Valley in the present age. I heard that he is the most outstanding successor in Soul Refining Valley for hundreds of years regardless of his mind or ability. I think you also feel it in the final battle arena." Said At this point, the profiteer's eyes are inevitably disappointed, and it is always his regret that he cannot compete with him in the peerless world.

"Now that the prodigal son has won the survival of the fittest competition and obtained the legendary super artifact, his prestige has been greatly improved. No wonder you and Bright Starry Sky are so anxious."

"Well, I thought you would be the champion. In this way, the three parties will live in peace before the bridge of the century is completed. In this way, I still have some time to prepare. Even if there is an all-out war, I will I won't suffer too much, but because the prodigal son won the championship unexpectedly, the whole situation has changed. The current Soul Refining Valley has far surpassed me and Bright Starry Sky in terms of momentum, with a strong posture, This forced Bright Starry Sky to speed up its pace. Now Xiaoyao Shengcheng is preparing to form an alliance with Aotian. By that time, Peerless China will become the world of East China Sea Crystal Palace, and I will be in a very disadvantageous situation. The combat power I control now It’s far inferior to the other two parties. If one is not good, I will be the first one to be kicked out.”

Looking at the gloomy face of the profiteer, I said, "Are you blaming me for being a lobbyist for Bright Starry Sky?"

Smiling at me, the profiteer said, "It would be a lie if I said I was not angry, but if I were you, I would do the same. After all, this is the most sensible choice at present. Furious is not a fool. If he persists, his The family will not allow it, in fact, even without your intervention, violent submission will happen sooner or later, I can see this very clearly."

Thinking back at Murong's family, I saw the panicked appearance of those older generations when they heard that Peerless was the battlefield of the three forbidden areas. I couldn't help nodding to agree with the profiteer's words. It's a matter of time before he succumbs to the pressure, and my advice is just to give him the most respectable step down.

"I don't think you are the one to be beaten passively. Tell me, as long as you don't violate my principles, I will help you." I said helplessly.

"Don't worry, you are the only friend that my profiteer values. I won't make things difficult for my friends. What I want you to do is actually not difficult. What I need most now is time. I have to buy it for myself." Time, so I want to ask you to be the middleman, I want to see the bright starry sky, and form an alliance with him. Let's deal with the prodigal son together." The profiteer quietly stated the purpose of inviting me this time.

"What? An alliance? With the bright starry sky?" Rao was surprised when he heard this because of my calmness. What does it mean?In the three forbidden areas that have been passed down for thousands of years, there will be a situation where two families join forces to fight against one family. In the vast history, this kind of thing has never happened in the history of the three major families. At least Grandpa is telling There was no mention of these three families in their history, which seems to be a tacit understanding among the three families.Unexpectedly, today, the contemporary young master of Yunxiao Everbright City, the future heir in line, would dare to challenge this taboo.

"Of course, this alliance cannot be as open and upright as Aotian. It must be carried out in secret, so I came to you because I know you will not betray me. In the thousands of years of history of our three forbidden areas, the temporary alliance has actually been It’s not that it’s never happened before, it’s just that it’s all done in the most secretive circumstances, and outsiders can’t know about it.” The profiteer looked at me and said in a deep voice.

Staring at the profiteer for a moment, I said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, but I don't want to get involved in the disputes between the three of you, I hope you can understand that."

"Don't worry, I know the rules of the game, and I don't want to lose a drinking partner. It feels really good to drink with you." After finishing speaking, the profiteer drank the wine in his glass again, in a very free and easy way. It has an indescribable charm.

From then on until I left the beautiful garden, I didn't speak a word to Jianshang again, everything was superfluous.

When I walked out of the gate, my elder brother Situ Xing was still waiting for me quietly at the gate. When he saw me coming out, he didn't say anything or ask anything. After bowing to the little boy, he turned and walked towards the villa.After leaving the villa and finding a small restaurant, Situ Xing directly ordered some wine. After drinking for a while, he said leisurely, "Brother, brother, I have to leave."

Hearing this, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart. I knew Situ Xing, the wandering beggar, was like this because of me. He, who has always been upright, felt ashamed of me. Although things would have developed like this without him, but with his straightforward personality But he still can't let go, so he can only stay away from me, stay away from this land of right and wrong.

"Is there still a chance for us to meet?" I knew it was useless to persuade him, so I could only follow him.

"Haha, don't worry. Brother, I have a long life. We will still meet if we have the chance," Situ Xing said with a smile.

"Well, there is a chance, we will meet again, and then I will drink with my brother for three days and three nights." Since breaking through the tenth floor, I feel that I have become more human. As well as those close to me, I was all smiles.

"Haha, it's a deal, when the time comes, we'll drink from the hotels owned by our siblings one by one, haha, it's fucking cool to think about it, come on, brother, let's have a few drinks now, so I can get to know you, old man Brother, my life is really worth it." After finishing speaking, Situ Xing grabbed the two wine jars beside him, and after sharing one with me, he took his own wine jar and drank a lot.

"Happy!" After drinking the wine to the last drop, Situ Xing stood up abruptly, bowed his hands to me, turned his head and walked out the door, still humming the little tune he made up, although the tune is still the same, but But I no longer feel unpleasant, but fascinated.
