"You're the most unpersuasive person I've ever met." Hua Ruge said snappily.
But when she finished speaking, she remembered that Young Master Wu Hen also refused to listen to her advice. Although these two looked gentle, they were actually stubborn people.
Shangguan Li turned his head back to look at the stars, and didn't say anything further.
Hua Ruge looked very anxious. Shangguan Li had sealed himself up too tightly, it was not easy to get close to her heart.
"Oh right, I've recently received some information on fragments. It doesn't seem like they have any connections, but based on my experience, there's definitely something fishy about it." As Shangguan Li spoke, he added on, "It's about you."
"Me?" Hua Ruge's eyes turned as he asked, "Someone wants to deal with me?"
"There's a possibility. Recently, there have been some connections between the three big companies in the continent. I've already sent people to track them down, but we haven't gotten any concrete information yet." Shangguan Li said.
Hua Ruge frowned as he thought about the relationship between the two of them.
"Let me give you a little more information. These three great companies all have several decades of history, and they even have a competitive relationship with each other. In the past, we didn't have any contact at all." Shangguan Li reminded her.
Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows, "Which means to say, the reason for their alliance this time, is definitely because of it. Furthermore, due to the tense relationship between them, there's a high possibility that someone is pulling strings from this alliance."
"I didn't notice it in the first place, but after thinking about how you've been doing business recently, I decided to make some preparations. I think that 99% of the people with the ability to fight in the frontlines are from the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace." Shangguan Li analyzed again.
Hua Ruge nodded, "The mother and daughter pair are really staring at me."
"I'll think of a way to get more information. You better be careful." Shangguan Li instructed.
"Thank you." Hua Ruge said with a smile.
"Saying that is of no use, invite me next time." Shangguan Li took the chance and said.
Hua Ruge could not help but laugh bitterly, "I said, you learn quite quickly."
Shangguan Li smiled in return.
"To teach disciples, to starve to death." Hua Ruge sighed.
She chatted for a while before she left. In the courtyard, Shangguan Li's smile disappeared from his face as he walked back to his room to study.
Xiao Lan could only sigh, the smile on her young miss' face had become less and less ever since she took her revenge. If Hua Ruge didn't come, she wouldn't even say a word for a few days, and the feeling in her heart wasn't good.
Hua Ruge played with the Little Marten for another two days, and the Little Marten also bid farewell to her. Before he left, he even went to look at Shangguan Li, and left after bidding his farewells one by one.
After sending off the Little Marten, Hua Ruge focused on his business and used a month to open up other shops. There were more Weapons Pavilion s and auction houses, adding all of them together, there were more than a hundred.
As of now, almost all of the Immortal City s would see shops with the name of the Nine Regions, and their business was not bad. The profits of Pill Pavilion s were extremely high and the profits of Weapons Pavilion s and banks were very low.
Right now, Hua Ruge was only waiting for the Da Yu to take over the Zhou Empire. After the weapons in the Zhou Empire are supplied, her Weapons Pavilion business would be in full swing.
One day, Hua Ruge was at home reading a letter Tuoba Rui had someone bring back, when a servant came in to deliver a letter.
She scanned it with her telepathic thoughts and discovered that it was a thread from the Liu'S Chamber of Commerce, saying that they would treat her to wine three days later.
These few days she had investigated and found out that the three big clans of the continent were the Liu'S Merchant Guild, the Ding Xuan Merchant Guild and the Sheng Long Merchant Guild. Among them, the Liu'S Merchant Guild was the biggest, and inviting her now would definitely not be as simple as drinking wine.
"Go and answer them. Tell them that I am on time." Hua Ruge threw the post on the table and said indifferently.
Whether it was luck or misfortune was something she couldn't avoid. She wanted to see what tricks these people could pull.
That night, she went to Shangguan Li's place. At that time, Shangguan Li would be reviewing the important news that came from various places.
Hua Ruge didn't need anyone to report to her as he walked into the courtyard. Seeing that she was busy, he apologetically said: "Sorry to bother you."1
"I'm not used to you being so polite. Sit down." Shangguan Li raised his head from within the jade slips with special spirit imprints.
Hua Ruge laughed, then went over and sat down.
"The Liu'S Chamber of Commerce sent me a letter today. Do you have any news from your side?" Hua Ruge asked.
"Even if you don't come, I'll send someone to deliver it to you. Look at this." Shangguan Li said as he handed over a jade scroll to Hua Ruge.
The jade slip had its enchantment broken, so when Hua Ruge used his mind to look inside, he immediately saw the report.
"We've confirmed that the three great merchant guilds were formed by the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace. Our men have yet to penetrate into the center and only know that they have investigated the background of the Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce, so their target should be this. The people of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace had more than one secret meeting with the people of the three major trading unions. Their initial analysis might be to discuss how to execute the plan or discuss the conditions. If we find nothing else, we'll follow. Your subordinate submits. "
Hua Ruge put down the jade scroll and said: "So that's how it is."
"I've already sent more people to scout for you, but doing this kind of thing is very secretive, so it's very difficult to get inside information." Shangguan Li looked at her and said, "Be careful when you come into contact with them."
"I know." Hua Ruge leaned on his chair and lazily said: "You want to have a business battle with me? I really want to know how they plan it."
"You seem to be looking forward to it."
Hua Ruge spread out his hands: "Even if you extend your head, it's still a blade, and even if you shrink back it's still a blade. I'm afraid it's useless."
"I'll help you." Shangguan Li said.
Hua Ruge smiled as he looked at her. "Thank you, Ah Li."
No matter what the people around her said, she always felt that Shangguan Li was a good girl.
"You and I need to talk about this. Do you want to stay for dinner?" Shangguan Li asked her.
Hua Ruge glanced at the jade scroll on the table and asked: "Are you free?"
Shangguan Li nodded.
"It can't be better." Hua Ruge shamelessly said. She was very zealous when it came to freeloading.
Shangguan Li laughed, lowered his head and took care of the message, while Hua Ruge went to the teahouse to take liberties with Xiao Lan who was making her tea.
"State Advisor, if you have time, come and take it." Xiao Lan said as he made tea.
Hua Ruge smirked, "What? You miss me? "
"It's not like you're normal." Xiao Lan unhappily rolled his eyes and said. "I'm talking about my Young Miss, why don't you talk a little more with her here, your mood will also be better."
Mentioning this topic, Hua Ruge turned serious and asked, "Is she still not in good shape recently?"
"Very bad." Xiao Lan said worriedly.
"Your young lady's heart is very heavy. If something like this were to happen again, it wouldn't be good to let it go for a short period of time. I'll find some time to accompany her and try my best to make her let go." Hua Ruge patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"Then I'll be counting on State Advisor." Xiao Lan said sincerely.
