“Who exactly are you?” Ye Liangchen’s gaze locked onto Qin Yichen, as if wanting to see through the youth in front of him.
“I am Qin Yichen!” Qin Yichen reported his name.
“Qin Yichen, you’re that… Alchemy Grandmaster that the Li Family sent Li Yuanba to receive?” Upon hearing Qin Yichen’s name, a hint of surprised doubt flashed through Ye Liangchen’s eyes. When his gaze landed on Qin Yichen again, his eyes revealed deep confusion and bewilderment.
“That very person!” Facing his gaze, Qin Yichen did not avoid it in the slightest, but answered with a smile. [It seems that Ye Liangchen has hidden himself quite well!]
Such a concealed matter of the Li Family, even the Lin Family was unaware of it, Ye Liangchen knew. This not only showed how powerful the Ye Family’s intelligence system was, but also that this seemingly good-for-nothing second generation playboy in front of him was not some push over. He was actually well-informed about many things. Therefore, after inheriting the position of Ye Family Patriarch, his Business Alliance rapidly rose within the country. It was definitely not a coincidence.
“Hehe, a mere Alchemy Disciple who has not even condensed a Divine Soul Bead. Just what business could you have with me?” After sizing up Qin Yichen, Ye Liangchen found that the latter not only did not have any Spiritual Energy, but did not even have a hint of a Martial Artist’s aura. After looking for a long time and not seeing anything, he could only say as much..
However, although he said this, it was very obvious that he had already developed a strong interest in Qin Yichen.
As he himself said, how did an Alchemy Disciple who had not even condensed a Divine Soul Bead gain the importance of the Li Family? Moreover, what Ye Liangchen found most baffling was how Crazy Li would obey this brat in front of him!
“I won’t beat around the bush with you. I want to join hands with you to establish a Business Alliance!” Qin Yichen directly stated his intention.
“Business Alliance? You want to join hands with me? Haha…” Hearing this, Ye Liangchen was slightly stunned, then immediately burst into laughter.
However, as he laughed aloud, Qin Yichen still sat there expressionlessly, only quietly picking up his teacup and taking a light sip.
After a while, Ye Liangchen’s laughter gradually subsided. Although he was laughing, he had been observing Qin Yichen’s reaction the entire time. Without a doubt, Qin Yichen’s steady and unperturbed attitude had shaken him.
To be honest, his laughter was actually to conceal his unease.
He could not figure out why Qin Yichen would come to him for cooperation. Even his own Father had always thought he was a good-for-nothing playboy Son. How could this kid who popped out of some small city understand him so well?
“Hey, who do you think you are? Establishing a Business Alliance, do you think you’re playing house? Do you know that in our entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, only the Imperial Family’s Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance can be called a Business Alliance?”
Ye Liangchen squinted his eyes and stared at Qin Yichen, continuing, “A Business Alliance not only needs to possess immense wealth, but also prestige, reputation, and a strong foundation. Let alone you and me, even those Families in the Royal City do not have the strength to establish a Business Alliance!”
“You and I naturally do not have this ability now, but who knows about the future?” Qin Yichen chuckled and stood up, walking to Ye Liangchen’s side. His eyes stared into the latter’s eyes that were squinted into a line as he said, “Could it be that you do not even have the confidence to take the first step, Ye Liangchen!?”
After hearing these words, Ye Liangchen fell silent for a moment. That unruly and arrogant look on his face also subsided a bit.
One could almost say it was the first time his face revealed seriousness in front of someone.
After a while, he suddenly let out a long sigh and asked, “Even if I do, that’s my business. What does it have to do with you?”
“Whether it’s within this country or you’re planning on expanding to other places, for a Business Alliance to become strong, it must possess unique resources. Things that others want but other Business Alliances cannot provide!” Qin Yichen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile. “I just so happen to be able to provide such things!”
“What can you provide?” Hearing this, the fat on Ye Liangchen’s body trembled.
Through the intelligence he had gathered, he vaguely knew the reason why the Li Family valued Qin Yichen so much.
Although many people had not investigated the origin of that thing that appeared in Jade Creek City, he was very clear about it. It was clear the boy in front of him had taken out something that made the Li Family have no choice but to send Li Yuanba to receive him.
Although he did not know what exactly that thing was, it was definitely of greater value than the improved Qi Recovery Pill Formula!
[Could it be that he still has something hidden up his sleeve? Just by relying on that one improved Qi Recovery Pill Formula, the Li Family had already obtained the momentum to secretly surpass the Lin and Ye Families. After all, that thing was truly one of a kind. If Qin Yichen has an even better formula in his hand, then his proposal would definitely be something countless people could only dream of.] Thinking up till this point, there was a hint of anticipation in Ye Liangchen’s heart.
“And why should I believe you?” In the end, after pondering for a while, Ye Liangchen still maintained a hint of wariness.
He was not clear why Qin Yichen would seek him out of all people!
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. However, if you miss this opportunity, do not regret it later!”
The confidence in Qin Yichen’s tone was completely incompatible with his age. After saying that, he directly walked towards the door of the elegant room.
What he needed was Ye Liangchen’s skills and intellect, also the Ye Family’s intelligence system!
The Ye Family was not as simple as it looked on the surface. Although the Ye Family had never been at the top of Spreading Cloud City, it was the Family that had stood for the longest time and had always prospered.
“If what you said is true…” Ye Liangchen took a deep breath, a glint of light erupting from his squinted eyes. “Then I, Liangchen, do not mind going all out with you!”
Qin Yichen, who had already walked to the door, revealed a small smile. His figure only paused slightly before he walked out, leaving with Li Yuanba.
On this day, Ye Liangchen stayed alone in this elegant room until dusk before leaving. No one knew what he had decided or what he was thinking. However, afterwards, for a long time, the people of Spreading Cloud City did not see his fat figure again.
At this time, in the Lin Family Mansion on the west side of Spreading Cloud City, a suffocating atmosphere enveloped it.
In the main hall of the Lin Family Mansion, Lin Aoqing sat in the first seat with a gloomy face. A sinister and violent aura faintly emanated from his body.
Standing beside him was precisely the thin old man who had gone to Jade Creek City.
