The head of the medicine hall quickly replied, "Tomorrow, at Longyuan Manor in the northwest corner of Shuntian."
"Thank you!" Long Yi clasped his fists and thanked him, then walked out of the pharmacy.
At Xu Li's hospitality, Long Yi moved into the most luxurious room in Xu's mansion, and more than a dozen maids were arranged to take care of Long Yi's daily life.
......
The next morning.
Xu Li personally drove Long Yi to Longyuan Manor. Luxury cars had already gathered at the entrance, and even license plates from other provincial capitals could be seen. It was obvious that this small auction venue was aimed at wealthy drug dealers from the four provinces in the Central Plains.
When the security guard at the gate saw Xu Li's license plate number, he opened the fence and let him in without hesitation.
Xu Li said complacently, "Master Long, this auction should require an invitation, but my Xu family's license plate is the best pass in Shuntian."
Long Yi snorted coldly. This guy couldn't change his habit of showing off his power over others no matter where he went.
"You've been in Shuntian for so many years, isn't it normal for people to recognize your Xu family's license plate? When you can make a name for yourself in Yandu, show off in front of me."
"Master Long is right!"
After Xu Li had made himself look boring, he could only shut up and the car suddenly became much quieter.
After parking the car, Xu Li happened to meet several acquaintances.
"Master Xu? Didn't you go to the Zhulu Tournament? Why are you back so soon this year?"
"Yes, didn't you, Patriarch Xu, hire a master from Sakura Island before? He must have won the championship of the Zhulu Tournament early this time and went home directly, right?"
Hearing the flattery and compliments from those around him, Xu Li couldn't help but blush. "Ahem, something unexpected happened during this martial arts competition. The expert I invited died in a car accident on the way. Damn, this is really bad luck!"
He originally wanted to tell everyone that the person standing next to him was the new lord of Central Plains, but Long Yi stopped him with a look, so he could only make up a nonsense reason.
The other bosses were stunned when they heard this. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? The expert they hired at a huge price died in a car accident?
However, they understood it in an instant. It was probably because Xu Li suffered a crushing defeat in the Zhulu Conference, so he was embarrassed to bring it up now.
Everyone smiled at each other. It is a kind of human nature to not quarrel when people are in trouble.
"Damn it, the warriors of Sakura Island are just unlucky. They deserve to live on a small island for the rest of their lives."
"It's okay. If it doesn't work out this year, there's always next year. The position of the lord of the Central Plains will belong to the head of the Xu family sooner or later!" A fat and big-eared boss flattered.
Unexpectedly, he hit the horse's leg directly. Xu Li's face suddenly turned black and he said angrily:
"I'll get angry with anyone who mentions the Central Plains Lord to me in the future. I'm very comfortable living in this small Shuntian. People should be content with what they have."
After saying this, Xu Li glanced at Long Yi beside him guiltily, and only when he saw that Long Yi looked normal did he feel relieved.
These bosses are really short-sighted. The new lord of the Central Plains is standing right next to them but they don’t recognize him. They even deceive themselves into thinking that they can replace him sooner or later. Isn’t this pushing the entire Xu family into the fire pit?
Fortunately, the gentleman next to me was quite magnanimous and didn't take this little thing to heart, so I managed to escape danger.
After the little episode, the group entered Longyuan Manor, which covers an area of over a hundred acres. Under the guidance of the staff, they made many turns and finally entered the villa where the auction was held.
There was already a group of people waiting in the villa. Their clothes and demeanor did not resemble those of ordinary people. They seemed to be high-end drug dealers or wealthy businessmen from all over the Central Plains.
"Master Xu, are you here too?"
"I didn't expect to meet you here. May your wealth be abundant!"
After Long Yi and his group entered the villa, many wealthy businessmen recognized Xu Li and stood up to greet the number one boss of Shuntian.
Long Yi felt amused. He didn't expect that this guy would cry and kneel down to beg for mercy in front of him. However, it seemed that he still had a great reputation in this circle of wealthy businessmen.
He was just about to tease Xu Li when a cold voice suddenly came from the door.
"What a bastard, Patriarch Xu! He was swept by everyone else at the Zhulu Conference. In my opinion, the entire four provinces of the Central Plains are a bunch of losers. They were actually beaten by a young brat!"
Xu Li's face suddenly turned gloomy. He said that it was okay for him, but if he insulted Master Long, then this matter could not be easily let go.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of men in black with a strong aura walking towards the courtyard. The one who had just made the mocking remarks was the woman walking in front, who had a sense of majesty.
The young woman was 1.75 meters tall, wearing pure black Balenciaga high heels, and her face was so cold that it could scrape off a layer of frost.
Looking at her deep and three-dimensional facial features, she seems to have half Western blood, and her wheat-colored skin adds a bit of wild beauty. She looks like she is looking up with her nose in the air and her face is full of arrogance.
"This is Ou Lena, the eldest daughter of the Ou family in eastern Guangdong!" The boss on the side saw Xu Li's unhappy expression and quickly reminded him, fearing that the two would conflict.
"Since she arrived in Shuntian this week, she's bought up all the valuable herbs from various pharmacies. Rumor has it that the old man from the Ou family is now very old and needs the help of the Heaven-Defying Formation to prolong his life, and the spiritual energy of the formation comes from these valuable herbs."
"The Ou family from eastern Guangdong?" Xu Li's pupils suddenly shrank and he took a breath of cold air.
The Ou family in eastern Guangdong is a century-old family ranked among the top ten in the entire Dragon Country. It has been on the Forbes Global Rich List for many years. Its family background is simply incomparable to those families in the Central Plains.
This wealthy family, which has existed for hundreds of years, has a terrifying influence and appeal in Longguo. If its direct descendants come to any provincial capital in the Central Plains, they will at least be welcomed by all the major families.
Although Xu Li can dominate Shuntian, he seems very small compared to a behemoth like the Ou family.
He cast a questioning look at Long Yi, but Long Yi had already sat down and closed his eyes to rest, and it seemed that he didn't intend to care about this matter.
"Haha." Without Long Yi's support, Xu Li could only smile awkwardly to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
Seeing him take the initiative to give in, the contempt in Orena's eyes grew even stronger. After a contemptuous smile, she walked in hurriedly.
Seeing that Shuntian's top boss had retreated on his own initiative, the other wealthy businessmen no longer had the courage to confront Oulena. They estimated that if the Ou family sneezed, their company's stock market would collapse, so they simply lowered their heads and pretended not to see what had just happened.
"The Ou family in eastern Guangdong? That's quite interesting." A playful smile appeared on Long Yi's lips.
He remembered that the business headlines a few days ago had just reported that the head of the Ou family in eastern Guangdong was ill and had paid a large sum of money to hire a master of traditional Chinese medicine to prolong the old man's life. It seemed that the master of traditional Chinese medicine was of no use now, and the old man could only rely on magic circles to prolong his life.
But this is not a long-term solution at all. Relying on the magic circle to prolong life can only last for half a year at most.
