Chapter 23 - 22 This is a Great Opportunity
In honesty, would the Shen's Business Association want to see a reconciliation between Pei Xuanjing and the Liu family?
Absurd, certainly not.
If the Shen's Business Association wished to see both parties reconcile, then what was all their previous actions for, to offend both parties and play the villain for no reason?
The Shen's Business Association risked a lot for this matter, using it to win over Pei Xuanjing, only to see both parties shake hands and make nice in the end. Everyone happy?
Impossible.
Just now, if he really wanted to see both parties reconcile, he could have straightforwardly addressed the issue. Why did he bring up the Forbidden Place and the Blessed Land issues, if not to sow discord?
Without saying it directly, his aim was to hint to Pei Xuanjing that if the Liu family were to get hold of the treasure, he wouldn't fare well.
When Shen Xiang's purpose was seen through by Pei Xuanjing, he wasn't embarrassed. He simply said, "Brother Pei indeed has great wisdom."
Seeing Pei Xuanjing did not respond, Shen Xiang continued, "I came today to discuss with Brother Pei about avoiding a hazard. We can prevent people from the Liu family from acquiring the treasure within the Forbidden Place of the Blessed Land."
He wanted to act within the Forbidden Place to completely devastate the Liu family's aspirations.
Pei Xuanjing sneered, "Eliminate danger for me?"
Though Pei Xuanjing doesn't go out often, based on some clues from the life simulator and some news from within the city, he understands quite well the dispute between these few families.
