"Believe it, of course I believe it!"
"How could I not believe what Master says!"
"If that's the case, then I won't bother watching the preliminaries!"
"It'll be much better to watch the official competition with you, Master!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Bai Li Lie quickly responded.
Through their interactions over the past two days, he had somewhat figured out Zhou Xuan's habits!
He understood that Zhou Xuan wasn't someone who spoke empty words!
Since he had said he could let him watch the official competition and personally attend the birthday celebration of the Fang family's patriarch,
Then he must have the capability to do so!
On this point, Bai Li Lie was clearer than anyone.
After all, his Bai Li family had previously become a subordinate force of Zhou Xuan precisely because they didn't believe in Zhou Xuan's strength.
And one such lesson was enough!
"Since that's the case, then you go ahead and attend to your business!"
"I still need to eat breakfast!"
Seeing Bai Li Lie's excited expression, Zhou Xuan felt somewhat speechless.
He genuinely couldn't understand why he was having the man attend someone else's birthday celebration and give gifts.
It wasn't as if someone was coming to celebrate his birthday and give him gifts, yet he was that happy?
Even if the other party was the leader of one of the five great families, so what?
Would giving someone a gift automatically make them think highly of you?
Then they would become friends, and provide you with resources.
And help you improve your family's influence?
What was he thinking?
Zhou Xuan had always understood a principle!
For two individuals or groups with no prior interaction,
If they wanted to establish a good relationship,
It would inevitably require both sides to attract each other with their respective advantages, thereby achieving diplomatic relations.
It wasn't about one party maintaining the relationship by giving gifts to the other!
Putting aside how strong the ties established through such methods would be!
Just the formation of such a relationship itself was already a kind of distorted state!
Once this kind of relationship was formed, it meant that the gifting party,
Had firmly locked itself into a subordinate position relative to the recipient.
In this case, even if the gifting party's own strength developed in the future,
In the eyes of the recipient, you would still be nothing!
To try and improve your family's influence by currying favor was simply wishful thinking!
Only when you possess strength yourself, will those you wish to associate with,
Bow their heads and share drinks with you!
However, these were all Zhou Xuan's personal thoughts!
Everyone has their own way of life.
Although Zhou Xuan couldn't understand Bai Li Lie's and the others' ideas,
He wouldn't forcefully change anything!
After all, all he wanted was the Bai Li family's influence.
As for what they thought in their hearts, Zhou Xuan couldn't control it and was too lazy to bother.
If they really misbehaved, a good beating would be more effective than anything!
After dismissing Bai Li Lie, Zhou Xuan directly entered the main hall.
Then, under the respectful gazes of some early-rising members of the Bai Li family,
He calmly finished his breakfast.
At the same time, he didn't forget to get a takeaway for that girl Lu Ling'er!
After all, she was his woman. While he might tease her,
He still had to care for her when it was necessary!
After delivering the breakfast, Zhou Xuan informed Lu Ling'er.
That he had some matters to attend to today.
And asked her to temporarily stay at the Bai Li family until he finished his business before returning to accompany her.
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, although Lu Ling'er was a little puzzled as to what Zhou Xuan was going to do so early in the morning,
Since Zhou Xuan didn't choose to tell her proactively,
She, being understanding, didn't ask further.
She just told him to pay attention to his safety!
After leaving Lu Ling'er's room, Zhou Xuan went straight out of the Bai Li family's gate.
Flagging down a taxi by the roadside,
He instructed the driver to head directly towards Shangjing City's most prosperous commercial center!
Although he had bought the "Night King" yesterday and it was still parked in the Bai Li family's garage,
Zhou Xuan did not choose to drive himself today!
The reason for this was that Zhou Xuan discovered.
The "Night King" he had bought had an excessively high appearance and turning rate!
Even during the short distance on his way back to the Bai Li family yesterday,
He had noticed at least a dozen groups of people by the roadside.
Taking pictures and videos of his car!
Even at a traffic light, while Zhou Xuan was waiting for the green light,
There were a few pretty young girls who ran over and tapped on his car window.
Judging by their appearance, they seemed to want to find out what kind of person was sitting in such a cool sports car!
However, because Lu Ling'er was sitting in the passenger seat at the time,
Zhou Xuan did not dare to act carelessly in this situation.
As soon as the green light turned on, he didn't give those scantily clad young girls any chance.
With a press of the accelerator, he sped away from the spot.
Through these two incidents, Zhou Xuan clearly recognized.
How eye-catching his "Night King" was.
And today, where he was going,
Or rather, what he was going to do,
Was really not suitable for cruising around in this charming supercar!
His thoughts returned to reality!
After the taxi driver's speedy journey, Zhou Xuan quickly arrived at Shangjing City's most prosperous commercial center.
This place, being close to the capital, was not only Shangjing City's most prosperous commercial center.
But even nationwide, it could rank among the best.
And such a prosperous commercial center naturally had a large flow of people.
After getting out of the taxi, as advised by the driver,
Zhou Xuan was almost stunned by the dense crowd in front of him.
"As expected of prosperous Shangjing, the customer traffic here compared to the commercial center of Cangyun City!"
"It's expanded by God knows how many times!!"
"With so many people, how am I supposed to find the friend my Master mentioned!"
Looking at the crowded scene before him, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but murmur to himself.
The reason he had rushed here so early in the morning was actually because,
Before he left the mountain,
His Master Xu Tianhua had specially instructed him on one matter.
That was, if he had the chance to come to Shangjing City,
He should visit an old friend of his Master who lived in Shangjing City on his behalf.
And this old friend of his Master lived in a shop called Tian Wen Ge, located in this commercial center.
Originally, Zhou Xuan had almost forgotten about this matter.
But this morning, after hearing Bai Li Lie mention Qin Huaiyu's situation,
Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered that when his Master spoke of this old friend, he had told him.
That this old friend of his was proficient in intelligence and fortune-telling!
He had told him to come to this commercial center to find this old friend if he encountered any trouble or wanted to know anything in Shangjing City in the future.
But now, looking at the dense crowd before him,
Zhou Xuan was at a loss as to where to start!
