Chapter 1164 - 112 - 113 Path Contest Self-Confidence_2

However, for those who wield great powers and influence, even the mightiest figures of the Demonic Way, they may appear domineering and overbearing, but in reality, they have their own set of rules in handling affairs and will not break them easily.
After all, they are not truly reckless, for most powerful beings, there are checks and balances in place—hence if someone truly behaved like a reckless madman, apart from invoking fear in others, it would also prompt some powerful individuals to consider eradicating such a potential threat.
If there were reasonable grounds or a profit dispute, that would be one thing, but in this case, Bai Xiaosheng and the Da Xue Country Lord had no such conflicts of interest. With such a forthright invitation, if one were to turn hostile, the negative repercussions would be something the Da Xue Country Lord couldn’t accept.
The saying goes: you play the first move, others can play the fifteenth move.
If this time he didn’t abide by the rules, then in the future, other powerful individuals or forces, when dealing with the Da Xue Ancient Country, could very well do the same.

Even with the support from Pei Xuanjing and help from many powerful individuals over the years, his Bai Xiaosheng Organization grew rapidly, competing with the Sky Mechanism Pavilion and snatching quite a number of deals.
