"Miss Chi, consider me indebted to you. If one day in the future you need my help, Yang Xiao will do his utmost," Yang Xiao recalled the past events and cautiously added, "as long as it’s not excessive."
Unexpectedly, Chi Dan laughed even more heartily and leaned closer to Yang Xiao, staring at his face with her charming peach blossom eyes, saying coquettishly, "What would be considered an excessive request?"
"There’s just one right now." Yang Xiao took a step back to show his attitude; he had no intention of getting involved with this woman at all.
It’s not just this woman, but also Mo Daidai behind her. This brother and sister duo are definitely not good people, their backgrounds unfathomable.
Chi Dan put on a pitiful look, "Brother Yang Xiao, I know you have trouble, so I came all the way from Rongcheng to help you, but you don’t appreciate it at all, you are so heartless."
Although Yang Xiao didn’t like this woman, what Chi Dan said was true; favors received must be repaid. Yang Xiao also felt that his attitude was somewhat excessive and said again, "Miss Chi, I accept your kindness, I still say this: if you need me in the future, as long as I, Yang Xiao, can do it without compromising principles, I will not decline."
"Really?" Chi Dan’s eyes brightened.
"I mean what I say." Yang Xiao had been able to survive in the world of martial arts for so many years and reach his current position relying on his reputation.
"Then I’ll make my request!" Chi Dan smiled as she sat down, lifting her skirt and swinging her leg, making Yang Xiao’s head spin with her long white legs, "Brother Yang Xiao, I really need your help with something."
Seeing that Chi Dan seemed serious, Yang Xiao’s heart suddenly filled with a bad premonition; it seemed this girl was just waiting for him, what she wanted was his promise.
But since he had already spoken, there was no reason to take back his words, so Yang Xiao sat down too, sitting opposite Chi Dan, nodding, "Please, go ahead."
"I’ve heard that you have a good relationship with the Esoteric Sect’s Cannibal Buddha Priest." Chi Dan came straight to the point, "Because of some previous matters, there are misunderstandings between our Chamber of Commerce and the Esoteric Sect Priest. I hope you can mediate and help reopen the trade routes, allowing our caravan to enter Esoteric Sect territory for business."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao was taken aback; the bad premonition was confirmed. This fellow really dared to ask, this is no small matter, it concerns the Business Association and the Esoteric Sect, which can even affect the entire Yin Temple’s power dynamics.
"What, you just promised me and now you’re reneging?" Chi Dan asked.
This fellow was indeed part of the Business Association’s higher-ups, and through this matter, Yang Xiao completely confirmed Mo Daidai and Chi Dan’s identities. A matter this significant, Jiangbei Province Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t dare make decisions on its own.
It’s important to know oneself; he wouldn’t dare to promise the Cannibal Buddha something like this.
You must know, the Cannibal Buddha only gave Yang Xiao some face because of Sutana’s gratitude, which didn’t mean he had the qualifications to negotiate with such a powerful figure.
The Cannibal Buddha’s temper is notoriously bad; even the Yin Temple High Priest can’t command him much, let alone himself.
Yang Xiao stood up, and with a clasped fist to Chi Dan, said solemnly, "Miss Chi, this matter is too big, I dare not promise you, and even if I did, I doubt it could be accomplished."
"What status does the High Priest hold, and what status do I, Yang Xiao, hold? How can he possibly listen to me? You are overestimating me." At this moment, Yang Xiao chose to speak the truth.
Unexpectedly, Chi Dan seemed to have prepared ahead, laughing, "You saved his daughter, and he’s been pretty good to you. Last time you returned, he had prepared many gifts for you."
"Besides, this matter is beneficial for the Esoteric Sect too, I can promise him the best prices."
"You’ve been to the Esoteric Sect, you should know their resources are relatively scarce, and the Cannibal Buddha is also troubled by this, otherwise, he wouldn’t have contacted your Jiangbei Province Office to supply goods."
"Since you know the current goods are provided by our Provincial Bureau, then what is the Chamber of Commerce doing getting involved?" Clearly laid out, Yang Xiao was no longer worried: "Isn’t it like asking me to help you compete with Jiangbei Province Office? Director Hong and Chief Wu most hate those who betray their own, how would I, Yang Xiao, survive here afterward?"
"You’re overthinking it, the goods we provide are items you don’t have; I guarantee not to compete with you, and I can promise you, every batch sold to the Esoteric Sect will provide a portion of profit back to your Provincial Bureau after settlement."
"You don’t have to do anything, once the matter is accomplished, I’ll give ten percent net profit to your Provincial Bureau. Additionally..." Chi Dan smiled, "Brother Yang Xiao, I’ll give an extra two percent to you personally, as a gesture of my gratitude."
"Brother Yang Xiao, Qinglan City is not like Rongcheng, if you want to thrive here, you must build your own power, and without money, you’ll be unable to move."
"Who exactly are you?" Yang Xiao stared at her and asked.
Unexpectedly at this moment, Chi Dan suddenly seemed deflated, blinking her eyes with a pool of spring water in them, looking wronged and said, "Someone who likes you, Brother Yang Xiao, after so long, don’t you understand my feelings?"
Yang Xiao found her hard to handle, but more importantly, he keenly smelled a hint of danger.
"This matter is significant, I can’t promise you right now, give me some time to think it over." Yang Xiao decided to employ a strategy of delay; he had other matters to attend to tonight and couldn’t spend too long here.
