Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1076 559: Flower Fairy Manor Owner (Part 3)
Pan Dehai waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "Brother Li Qi and I truly have a real bond, we might be different from each other."
Hua Manchun smiled: "Affection is unreliable, the reliable thing is capital. Young Master Wu, I'm really not trying to offend you, but you currently do not have the capital to speak to me,
Brother Li Qi, I'm saying this for you to hear. My visit today shows that there's fate between us, I'm willing to be your friend,
but if you can't seize this fate and keep these friends, we might have to revisit our dealings in the future. Brother Li Qi, isn't that the truth?"
Li Banfeng suddenly realized: "So you were laying out logic for me, I thought this had nothing to do with me."
Hua Manchun frowned and said: "If it had nothing to do with you, do you think with my status, I would come here?"
Li Banfeng thought carefully and asked, "What's your status?"
Hua Manchun's eyes glimmered coldly. Pan Dehai hurriedly explained, "Brother Li Qi, this is Hua Manchun, the Master of the Flower Fairy Mansion, and the Flower Fairy Mansion is a piece of Proper Land."
Li Banfeng was quite surprised: "How is it that I've never heard of the Flower Fairy Mansion?"
Hua Manchun brushed the long feathers on his feather fan one by one, visibly dissatisfied with Li Qi's attitude.
Pan Dehai quickly explained: "Brother Li Qi, if you say you've never heard of the Flower Fairy Mansion, then that's not right. The Flower Fairy Mansion is so famous in Puluo State, how could you not have heard of it,
but if you say you've never been there, that would be understandable. The Flower Fairy Mansion has a rule, it only accepts women, no men are allowed, we men can't enter the manor."
Li Banfeng was astonished: "The manor doesn't accept men? Then is the manor owner male or female?"
Hua Manchun's face turned green, Pan Dehai chuckled dryly and said: "Brother, don't make jokes, Master Hua is an accomplished practitioner of Lust Cultivation, when it comes to combat prowess, among various Local Deities, hardly anyone can match Master Hua."
This is no exaggeration, Hua Manchun is indeed formidable. Feng Daiku has never gained an upper hand in their countless encounters over the years.
Ma Wu also gathered some understanding from all this, Feng Daiku's urgent attempt to take over the Soda Kiln was certainly tied to Hua Manchun.
Hua Manchun was always eyeing the Pants Belt Pit, if Feng Daiku couldn't hold the territory, with the Soda Kiln, at the very least, she would have a retreat route for herself.
Li Banfeng was equally shocked: "Hardly anyone can match? Does that mean he is more formidable than Green Flower?"
Mentioning Green Flower, the originally furious Hua Manchun, had his gaze soften significantly.
Pan Dehai's tone also softened a lot: "Well, of course, Greenwater Beggar is an exception..."
None of the Local Deities in Puluo can be compared to Greenwater Beggar.
This is also one of the reasons Hua Manchun is wary of Li Qi, as it's rumored outside that Li Qi has an extraordinary relationship with Greenwater Beggar, and the Three-Headed People he won over have a lot of connections with Greenwater Beggar.
Hua Manchun said: "Brother Li Qi, we will discuss our relationship later. Today, it's just about the matter between me and Feng Daiku. I kindly consulted with her on business, yet she mocked me in front of so many people. Let's address the matter for what it is, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
He came here today and stirred things up for one purpose, to force Li Banfeng to take a stand.
In his view, if Li Qi can forge a tie with Greenwater Beggar, he must be a clever person. In Hua Manchun's understanding, clever people only see profit, not sentiment.
From this, he deduced that Li Qi would definitely fight for Hua Manchun's support because Hua Manchun is more powerful, whether in combat strength, influence, or economic power, surpassing Feng Daiku in all aspects.
For Hua Manchun, the most ideal result is to pressure Feng Daiku through Li Banfeng, making her voluntarily give up the Pants Belt Pit.
Of course, if Feng Daiku refuses to give up, causing discord between her and Li Qi would also be quite satisfactory. Without Li Qi as her pillar, Pants Belt Pit would eventually still be his.
Li Banfeng thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I still don't understand, what exactly did Miss Feng say to mock you?"
Hua Manchun frowned again, perplexed by Li Qi's fixation on this issue. Is he truly a clever person?
Since he was asked, Hua Manchun had to offer a reason: "Everyone present heard clearly, I proposed to exchange a load of my possessions with Miss Feng for the territory of the Pants Belt Pit. Whether she agreed or not didn't matter, just needed a yes or no,
but she told me it's worthless, and suggested I go ask elsewhere. What does that mean, treating me like a beggar?"
"You consider that mocking?" Li Banfeng looked at the feather fan in Hua Manchun's hand for a moment, then Silk-pulling Earrings said, "Sir, his feather fan has no movement."
Not only no movement, it seemed to lack any temperature.
Hua Manchun said: "This isn't mocking? I'd appreciate it if you'd explain what mocking is."
Li Banfeng then stared at Hua Manchun's turban again, also seeing nothing unusual, basically determining that this was indeed Hua Manchun himself.
Since he asked what mocking is, Li Banfeng gave him a proper explanation: "Today, our Old Five is opening new land. Anyone present is giving our brothers face, please sit down, have a drink, and toast to our Old Five, and let's put this matter behind us,
If you don't wish to give face, don't want to drink, then please roll far away, as far as you can. This is mocking, mocking smashed in your face, can you understand it?"
Hua Manchun stood there dumbfounded, not expecting this attitude from Li Banfeng: "Brother Li Qi, the Jianghu is vast and the mountains and rivers keep turning, you never know whose turn it will be, you really shouldn't be so absolute."
Li Banfeng looked at Hua Manchun and said: "Never mind how the rivers and mountains change, first talk about how you're going to turn now. If you want to roll, you really need to roll quickly."
