Chapter 476: Meng Taizhi (I)
Li Yuanjiao and Fei Luoya exchanged a few words, both clearly in high spirits as they left the Great Jueting with smiles on their faces. Zhu Xian and Li Wushao, their followers, trailed behind.
Li Yuanjiao noticed Fei Luoya surveying the surroundings with keen interest and asked, "What plans do you have for the stretch of lush forests and fertile lands between Great Jueting and Eastern Mount Yue?"
Fei Luoya's slit eyes met Li Yuanjiao's gaze sharply as he replied, "When Fu Daimu was still around, all I could think of was running away at a moment's notice… I've never thought of overseeing Mount Yue. However, now that I have such a huge territory, I'll have to appoint several of my men to help gather spirit items, hunt demons, cultivate Spirit Paddies, and earn a certain amount of Spirit Stones annually..."
Li Yuanjiao chuckled and suggested, "My family excels in these endeavors. Why don't we share the land? Since the territory is yours, my family will manage the operations for you. I'm confident that in ten years, we'll see profits exceeding twenty Spirit Stones annually."
"Oh?"
Fei Luoya nodded slightly then asked a few more questions before subtly shifting the topic toward the Azure Pond Sect's Fuchen Peak. Noticing Fei Luoya's disinterest in a partnership, Li Yuanjiao exchanged a few more pleasantries before taking his leave.
Li Wushao, who had been silent, spoke only after they had flown a hundred li.
"Master, how severe is your injury?"
When Li Yuanjiao endured a dual sword strike from Zhe Ledai, Li Wushao feared for his life. Since his spirit was bound to Li Yuanjiao, any harm that befell him would spell the end for Li Wushao too.
