Chapter 1447 733: What You Love... (Part 2)
Ji Jue nodded decisively, without any evasion.
Since the Lou Family was willing to increase their investment, there was no need to be hypocritical. Social interactions were a matter of give and take; when there are lots of comings and goings, it becomes hard to keep track, and eventually everything becomes as one.
What is meant by family friendship, what is meant by generational ties?
This is where it all begins!
Seeing Ji Jue's carefree demeanor, Lou Yanyue became curious.
"Speaking of which, aren't you afraid the Xu Family will have their eyes on you?" she reminded him, "Those guys are very cunning. Once they've targeted you, you're never at peace. You'd better be careful."
Ji Jue laughed, "Even if I do nothing, do you think the Xu Family won't still have their eyes on me?"
To achieve something, you have to make enemies.
If you're really afraid of making enemies, then you might as well do nothing at all.
Afraid of trouble, then stay quietly at the Tide Sound Workshop for a lifetime and never show your face. But even hiding behind a teacher as a research craftsman, do you think there is no factional strife within the Association?
In fact, even if Ji Jue did nothing, the mere existence of the Fly King is a path to destruction for the Xu Family.
Look at Seno; they wouldn't even consider negotiations. You either become a dog or die.
So, Ji Jue doesn't care whether the Xu Family is after him or not. Aren't there enough people eyeing him already?
Moreover, who is targeting whom, and who has no peace...
That's still up for debate!
"Hey, if there is any follow-up or new developments, don't forget to let me know!" Lou Yanyue patted her chest, "I'll be there whenever you need, don't be polite to me!"
"We're all friends, what's there to be polite about?"
"Hey, you're calling us buddies, so what's left to say?"
Lou Yanyue laughed loudly, "You can go ahead and use Lou Feng!"
"..."
When Lou Feng finally finished his tasks and came looking for his aunt, what he saw was his aunt and Ji Jue with their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing heartily at the sky.
He hesitated, unable to speak.
Surnamed Ji, who are you to act like buddies with her? And Aunt, can you please act more reserved, pay attention to your image?!
Have you reached adulthood yet?! Why are you acting like Wen Wen, that drinker, always needing a few shots with everyone you meet?
Lou Feng felt like the little pearls were about to fall.
Luckily enough, he finally didn't have to worry about Ji Jue eyeing his aunt... the odds of these two beings getting along are as unlikely as pigs climbing trees!
Just look at their arm-around-the-shoulder demeanor, one might think they'd gone through hardships together, lit incense, and wandered the jianghu together!
On the surface, they are pure iron-blooded brotherhood!
In reality... they truly are!
Ji Jue really appreciated Lou Yanyue, possibly more so than Lou Feng.
When there's work to be done, he gets it done without delay; when it's time to fight, he fights immediately, and deals with the consequences later.
No hesitation.
Straightforward, simple, and pure, giving peace of mind. If everyone in the world were like Lou Yanyue, the world would.... emmmm, be a lot more exciting, wouldn't it?
"Still, does the Lou Family really have no interest in the Seven Cities?"
Ji Jue rubbed his chin, full of doubts. Originally, he intended to share a portion so that everyone could earn together, share profits, and bear risks together.
But now, with the Lou Family's magnanimity, he was at a loss.
"Third Brother said, investment is not a problem, and business can be done. If you need anything, just speak up, but anything beyond that, forget it."
Before Lou Yanyue finished, she slapped her forehead, "Oh right, the old man just asked me to tell you... when the setup is too big, sometimes trouble follows."
Ji Jue was stunned into silence.
He began to think.
Some words can be dismissed, some can be forgotten immediately, but when certain people speak, sometimes every word must be carefully analyzed and pondered.
If he really couldn't understand such an obvious hint, then he wouldn't be the one hearing these words.
Moreover, if it is the dignified Heavenly People, Lou Suwen, indirectly delivering such a vague message to him...
This is a signal in itself.
If the Lou Family viewed the Seven Cities as too small to expand in, they could have said so directly. Now, it implies that for the Lou Family, the benefits are outweighed by the troubles?
No, not just that...looking further, it might not even be about the Lou Family alone, or just the Seven Cities.
His mind spun rapidly. All these years, besides the layout in Central Earth, the Federation seemed to be retracting inwardly, strategically pulling back step by step.
Even amidst the storms and chaos outside, Heavenly Yuan Dual Polarity has been unusually quiet—indeed, even with troubles from the Federation and the Empire, for Tian Yuan it has been peaceful.
Only minor scuffles locally.
This is just the beginning.
Once the entire machinery of Tian Yuan really gets running, it will definitely not be confined to a time, place, or region, but will disrupt the entire present world to the point of total unrest. By then, anyone who can breathe will be caught in the turbulence. At that point, countless people will follow the current, evolving into a majestic torrent.
So, this is a reminder from Lou Suwen.
—If you want to earn money, just earn some enough. If you invest too much and hope too high, it might turn out not worth it.
Ji Jue instinctively straightened up, lowered his voice, and asked:
"Is there really going to be a fight?"
"Who knows?"
Lou Yanyue shrugged without hesitation, "Even if Central City decides something, do you think they would notify me? Now, maybe even Central City hasn't decided yet.
Everyone is watching, anxiously grouping together for warmth, and no one can say for sure... just thinking about this mess gives me a headache. You asking me is futile, might as well ask Guardian Lv."
