Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1469: Above the Clouds Peeping Cultivation_5

Big Head didn’t ask much nor thought much, he got up and left, Shen Rongqing and Duan Shuqun also followed out.

In the hall, only He Jiaqing and Boss Peng were left. He Jiaqing cupped his hands in salute: “Mr. Kong Fang is honored by your presence, I apologize for my inadequate hospitality, please forgive me.”

The person sitting in front of him was not Boss Peng, but Mr. Kong Fang.

This time the disguise technique used was sophisticated, Mr. Kong Fang was still wearing a bamboo hat, but He Jiaqing couldn’t tell at all. Earlier, Mr. Kong Fang brushed his hair and intentionally made the copper coin hanging on the bamboo hat ring, as a hint to He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing personally poured tea for Mr. Kong Fang, who waved his hand: “No need for formalities, I am here today to do business with you.”

“Senior, you flatter me, I once wished to serve you, but unfortunately, my talents are limited and I could not assist, instead I caused much chaos, thinking back now, I still feel ashamed.”

This refers to their previous joint research on the boundary issue, at that time Mr. Kong Fang felt their effort with He Jiaqing was too ostentatious, and he ended the partnership voluntarily.

Mr. Kong Fang took a sip of tea and laughed: “Jia Qing, since you have the ambition to dominate one side, you must have the magnanimity to overlook grievances. If you hold grudges over small matters, how will you achieve great things in the future?”

He Jiaqing continuously shook his head: “Senior misunderstood me, I absolutely hold no grudge against you. It is my honor that you come to me, whatever your command, I will certainly do my utmost to comply.”

Mr. Kong Fang put down the teacup and said: “Do you know about the incident at the Three-Head Fork?”

“I’ve heard some rumors, but the details are unclear.”

“Li Qi, for some unknown reason, went to the Three-Head Fork, and from Luobo Mountain to the Underground City, he caused an upheaval. You are Li Qi’s friend, so I want to ask you to help calm this matter down.”

The issue at the Three-Head Fork was originally caused by Ban Feng?

He Jiaqing pondered for a moment: “Senior, do you want me to persuade Li Qi to leave the Three-Head Fork?”

Mr. Kong Fang said: “This matter is probably hard to persuade, and I heard that you and Li Qi have quite a few misunderstandings.”

He Jiaqing nodded: “Our misunderstanding is indeed deep, since persuading him is not an option, you mean I should drive him out of the Three-Head Fork?”

Mr. Kong Fang smiled: “Do you have that ability?”

“I dare not boast, but surely senior has such ability, if you really wish to drive Li Qi out of the Three-Head Fork, it probably wouldn’t take much effort.”

Mr. Kong Fang sighed: “It’s not that simple, if I want to drive him away, I have to confront him, and I can’t go too hard, as Li Qi has a status in Puluo State and the Outside Provinces, if he leaves his life at the Three-Head Fork, I will offend many people.”

He Jiaqing laughed: “Senior means that the part about offending people is for me to do?”

Mr. Kong Fang shook his head: “I didn’t ask you to deal with Li Qi at the Three-Head Fork. As far as I know, most of Li Qi’s business is managed by Ma Junyang, if something happens to Ma Junyang, Li Qi will definitely return.”

He Jiaqing said: “Senior wants me to take care of Ma Wu?”

Mr. Kong Fang nodded: “I originally wanted to do it myself, but with my current identity, if I directly killed Ma Wu, I’m afraid the peddler would not agree, so I want to leave this to you.”

He Jiaqing sighed: “This also puts me in a difficult position.”

“I certainly wouldn’t let you work for nothing, aren’t you looking for materials to accumulate Taoist Fate? I have already sent them to you, if that’s not enough, just speak up, however much you want, you’ll have it.”

PS: Why does He Jiaqing need so many materials to accumulate Taoist Fate?
