Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Juyi Building, top floor.

Li Junsu simply listened to Fang Dayi's boasting before accepting Shi Sheng's teacup.

"I wonder what brings Lord Li here today?" Shi Sheng interrupted Fang Dayi's boasting and asked.

Fang Dayi, who was having a good time talking, stopped abruptly, then straightened his expression and looked at Li Junsu.

"Master Fang, Vice Master Shi," Li Junsu greeted them with a cupped-hand salute.

Fang Dayi sat up straight with satisfaction upon hearing this, and nodded to signal Li Junsu to continue.

Shi Sheng frowned slightly, looking somewhat uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.

In Lingdong, there are only Master Fang and Master Shi, but no deputy masters, as can be seen from the chaotic hierarchy of Juyi Tower.

Ordinary people are followers, martial artists are followers, and then there are only those in charge; the elite troops are all in the hands of the two of them.

Juyilou (Gathering Righteousness Pavilion) gains power based on righteousness, and will also die because of righteousness.

What Li Junsu wanted was to instill the concept of status into Juyilou.

“Vice Pavilion Master Shi, you should know what the Six Doors are seeking?” Li Junsu first looked at Fang Dayi, then at Shi Sheng, and chuckled as he spoke.

Fang Dayi also looked at Shi Sheng.

“Stable,” Shi Sheng said slowly.

Whether it's the Xie Zhi or the Di Ting, what they seek is stability.

However, unlike others, Di Ting can collude with others to suppress the voices in their jurisdiction.

Whether it's He Ning or Yan Gui, their pursuit of stability means that if you dare to cause trouble, they will kill you.

Killing you will stabilize the situation.

Moreover, it provides stability once and for all.

“Yes, so I was in Lingnan a while ago and discussed a cooperation with the Gu Clan.” Li Junsu said, taking the box from Su An’s hand.

“After coming to Lingdong, this small business has grown slowly together with everyone in Lingdong. Now it should be able to catch the eye of Juyilou.” After saying that, Li Junsu pushed the box over to Fang Dayi and Shi Sheng.

"Your boss is indeed quite capable." Su An sighed in admiration as he listened to Li Junsu's casual compliment.

If he hadn't followed Su An and known what Li Junsu was really thinking, he would have thought that Li Junsu had come with genuine sincerity.

"What is this?" Upon hearing this, Fang Dayi smiled slightly and opened the box.

Li Junsu explained the Gu worm and its price. Fang Dayi, being a gazing at the sea, suppressed the urge to stand up.

"I hope Juyilou will give me face," Li Junsu said, holding up two fingers.

Fang Dayi's eyes lit up; this business had great potential.

Shi Sheng, however, was different. He was thinking about He Chang's letter, and when he looked up at Li Jun's ambiguous smile, he narrowed his eyes.

He would have to be suspicious of even He Chang, let alone Li Junsu, whom He Chang had specifically mentioned.

"Okay..." Fang Dayi was about to agree with a big smile.

"Lord Li, please return." Shi Sheng said slowly.

The previously harmonious atmosphere instantly cooled down.

"I understand. Consider this Gu worm a gift for Master Fang." Li Junsu said, looking at Shi Sheng, then glancing at Fang Dayi, whose smile had frozen, with a surprised look, before standing up.

"Lord Li, we can..." Fang Dayi, regaining his senses, looked at Shi Sheng's disapproving gaze and spoke with some reluctance.

This isn't just a matter of whether or not to cooperate; it's because Li Junsu looked at Shi Sheng first, and then at himself.

Fang Dayi glanced at Su An, who had remained silent throughout, and knew that he had lost face this time.

“No need. Business thrives when everyone works together. Since you have reservations, I won’t insist,” Li Junsu politely declined.

Fang Dayi felt uneasy. From Deputy Pavilion Master Shi to Pavilion Master Shi, the deputy position was gone.

If no one had pointed this out, Fang Dayi might have been able to pretend not to know, but when Li Junsu arrived, he was given the highest level of courtesy from beginning to end.

"Isn't my brother being a bit too impolite?" Fang Dayi murmured to himself.

He is the true master of this Gathering Righteousness Tower, embodying righteousness!

Shi Sheng, however, didn't seem to notice anything and even nodded, after all, he was also the owner of the building.

“However, Master Shi, even if the business fails, we can still maintain good relations. Only when Lingdong is stable can everyone have a good life.” Li Junsu then cupped his hands to Shi Sheng and said.

"Definitely." Shi Sheng nodded.

Fang Dayi didn't react, after all, it was just a minor matter.

At most, I'll just feel a little uncomfortable.

After seeing Shi Sheng's assurance, Li Junsu simply left.

After Li Junsu left, Fang Dayi looked at Shi Sheng.

"Brother, why don't you cooperate with the Six Doors?" Fang Dayi looked at Shi Sheng and questioned him.

“The He family…” Shi Sheng looked at Fang Dayi and explained.

"Brother, we are Wang Hai." Fang Dayi laughed righteously. What was He Chang's strength compared to theirs?

If Li Junsu could force He Chang, who had no cultivation, could he force them as well?

Didn't you see that this young man didn't dare to speak loudly when he came to the door?

Fang Dayi had seemingly forgotten himself and was also wary of Sword King City behind He Chang. He had been humiliated and now a nameless anger was rising within him.

“You don’t understand.” Shi Sheng shook his head.

Well, this time we've directly stepped on Fang Dayi's sore spot, who likes to talk about seniority.

"Brother, I hope your judgment is correct." Fang Dayi suppressed his anger and spoke slowly.

“Of course, I wouldn’t joke about Juyi Tower,” Shi Sheng nodded.

Fang Dayi's blood pressure spiked again, but he held back. After so many years of brotherhood, there was no need to ruin things over such a small matter.

......

After leaving the Gathering Righteousness Building, Li Junsu headed straight for the Six Doors.

"Boss, is this useful?" Su An asked doubtfully at this moment.

"It's no use. We've been through thick and thin together, after all," Li Junsu said casually.

“But if it involves interests…” Li Junsu said meaningfully.

Many people can only share the good times, but not the bad; and many others can only share the bad times, but not the good times.

Fang Dayi and Shi Sheng, who have gone through thick and thin together, are already a standard success template, but what if... they were made rich and powerful, and then they did it again?

What Li Junsu needs now is to wait, to wait for Fang Dayi to come to him on his own.

If he's interested, it means he's very interested in money; what follows... is the reversal of priorities.

"Boss, how long do we need to wait?" Su An asked curiously after hearing the question.

“He will definitely come to our door within a year,” Li Junsu said with a smile.

In Fang Dayi's view, his strength was certainly no threat to him.

"The He family over there..." Li Junsu looked into the distance and smiled.

The moment Shi Shenggang sent out his elite troops, the He family's intelligence network received the news.

Next, in Fang Dayi's eyes, the Six Doors was a cooperative force with little strength but a powerful background.

In Shi Sheng's eyes, the Six Doors were a menacing tiger.

The rift between Fang Dayi and Shi Sheng will only widen under two circumstances.

In this situation, they are unable to understand the other person's thoughts and motivations.

Then, you should start by investigating the people around both parties to avoid arousing suspicion.

Once they reach that point, they won't have any doubts.

Once the struggle for power and profit begins, nothing else matters.
