Chapter 2151: Jing Yan’s Asking Price
Xin Li held the position of Chief Manager in the Xin Family, and although his authority was not small and he was highly valued by the Xin Family higher-ups, no matter how you put it, the status of a Chief Manager still could not compare to that of an elder.
The Xin Family sent Xin Li, this Chief Manager, to approach Jing Yan, rather than someone with a higher status.
Of course, this was also within Jing Yan’s expectations; he did not feel any anger just because the Xin Family had not sent a clan elder. Because for a force like the Xin Family, a Loose Cultivator like Jing Yan truly was nothing special. Even if Jing Yan was an extremely outstanding Nether Sky Realm Cultivator, that still really didn’t count for much.
This point could actually be seen from the attitude of the Building Owner of the Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters on the Blue Rain Divine Continent toward Jing Yan. After learning that Jing Yan had repelled Ji Bian, that Building Owner of the Blue Rain Divine Continent Mystic Moon Trading House Headquarters still had no intention of personally meeting Jing Yan. And the Blue Rain Divine Continent Mystic Moon Trading House was merely a branch under the regional Business Building.
The energy of the Four Great Forces was immense; even a powerhouse at the level of a Wuxia Heavenly Monarch would still have to lower his head before the Four Great Forces.
"Manager Xin, I’ve long heard of you!" Jing Yan stood up and cupped his hands toward Xin Li.
Saying "I’ve long heard of you" was purely polite talk. Jing Yan had simply never heard of Xin Li before; it was only a few days ago, when the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch came over, that he mentioned all the members of the Four Great Forces who had arrived at the Yellow Spring Cave to open the entrance.
"Mr. Jing Yan, you’re too polite." Xin Li also smiled as he spoke.
He was actually giving Jing Yan some face by addressing him as "Mr." One had to know that Xin Li was also a Cultivator at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level, and he was the Chief Manager of the Xin Family among the Four Great Forces; for him to still address Jing Yan as "Mr." was already giving him a great deal of face.
"Manager Xin coming here to me, you must have something in mind?" Jing Yan asked, though he already knew the answer.
