The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 105 Profit is the Lubricant

"It seems my tastes are exactly the same as Li Xun's!" Qian Renxue covered her mouth and chuckled, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"What a coincidence!" Perhaps because they shared the same interests, Li Xun seemed quite pleased: "Sister Xue, where were we?"

"Your memory is terrible." Qian Renxue smiled helplessly. "It seems that your meeting with me in Tosaras isn't such a big deal."

"Look at my head, how can this not be a big deal?" Li Xun pretended to slap his head, then took out a map of the mainland from his soul tool and placed it on the coffee table. "If I hadn't been in trouble, how would I have ended up here with you, Sister Xue?"

Qian Renxue looked at the map with a puzzled expression.

The map that Li Xun showed him was marked with many red triangles, covering most of the mainland.

Of course, the Heavenly Dou Empire is the most concentrated among them, accounting for 80% of the red triangle.

Secondly, there are scattered red markers in some areas, while the remaining areas only have a few scattered red markers. Although these red markers are sparse, they can be found if you look closely.

These marked locations are all important towns on the map.

However, the location of Wuhun City was conspicuously omitted from this vast map.

"Brother Li Xun, what does this red mark mean?" Qian Renxue turned her head slightly to look at Li Xun.

"Sister Xue, do you know about the chain restaurants that have sprung up in mainland China in the last two years?" Li Xun asked with a smile.

"I do know a little about it."

Qian Renxue nodded subconsciously, then froze: "Could it be that all these signs belong to restaurants of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

As one of the three most powerful sects whose every move can affect countless people, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has opened a chain of restaurants in various parts of the continent. How could she not know that?

However, not only she, but also other forces on the continent knew very little about this kind of business. Even if they knew the profits involved, they could only be envious.

After all, not everyone has the financial resources to compete with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a share of the pie. Not to mention, the various bishops of the Spirit Hall are backing them up.

Qian Renxue learned of this matter through information relayed by her subordinates.

But all she knew was that some of the bishops of the Spirit Hall had been involved in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's chain plan.

The Elders' Hall and the Papal Hall are now two separate power structures, and she really didn't know how many bishops from the Spirit Hall were involved.

She figured her pope probably knew more than she did! Qian Renxue's eyes darkened.

"These markings do indeed represent the locations of all the restaurants in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School right now." Li Xun nodded. "That's why I called you here today."

"You want to open a shop in Wuhun City?" Qian Renxue glanced at the blank area between the two empires on the map.

"Yes, I, Bishop Tosaras, asked you to come here because I want to do this business with you, Sister Xue." Li Xun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and used it to hide his expression.

This is now the most important part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's plan.

Li Xun thought about this matter for a long time before he could sort it out.

He believed that even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to join the Spirit Hall, it shouldn't be given away too easily, otherwise it would make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seem cheap.

In addition, it could easily arouse the vigilance of the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall.

After all, you gave up your position among the three upper sects to join our Spirit Hall. What do you think you're up to?

Therefore, there must be a pretext or cooperation to lubricate the relationship between the two forces, making their integration less dry and rigid.

"Cooperation?" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, sensing the atmosphere around her light up. "Could it be that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the various bishops of our Spirit Hall are also in this regard?"

She originally thought that the major bishops of the Spirit Hall were just following the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to make money, since only money could motivate people from two different forces to cooperate.

However, if this cooperation involves the true decision-making level of the power structure, then the nature of the matter changes. And this time, the scale is quite large.

Qian Renxue glanced at the map.

Li Xun nodded: "After all, Wuhun City is where the Pope resides. As the number one power on the continent, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't dare to rashly expand its business there."

"But if you, Sister Xue, take the lead, then everything will be much easier."

"What can I get out of this?" Qian Renxue smiled and looked into Li Xun's eyes with her beautiful eyes.

"As for the profits, you get four and I get six." Li Xun not only didn't flinch at Qian Renxue's gaze, but even returned it.

"As the young master of the Spirit Hall, this is all the profit you're giving me? I get six and you get four, that's more like it." Qian Renxue blinked, ultimately realizing she wasn't as shameless as Li Xun. She started dodging.

"My young master, you can get 40% of the profits without doing any work, while I have to work myself to death running around."

Li Xun revealed a victorious smile: "Besides, the people below also need to eat."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Isn't the cost of feeding the staff already included in the overall cost?" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Li Xun.

Do you really think she can't do business?

Although she came to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent at a very young age, as the sole heir of the Spirit Hall, how could she neglect her studies?

"Then it's fifty-fifty, Sister Xue, you can't go any lower, or I'll end up working for you!" After a long while, Li Xun gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.

"What, you don't want to work for your older sister?" Qian Renxue giggled, amused by Li Xun's appearance. Her semi-mature figure trembled as she shook.

"Sister Xue, have you forgotten what we said in Sunset Forest?" Li Xun glanced at the alluring figure, then said, "You don't want our first collaboration to be stillborn, do you?"

Because of the long time span, it took Qian Renxue a long time to recall their conversation.

A look of understanding flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect that after so many years, you would still remember what happened back then."

"With the changing situation on the mainland, as a member of the younger generation, I naturally need to look further ahead, so as to prevent those old fogies from blindly rushing headlong into a dead end."

Li Xun laughed. He knew he had to play the emotional card: "Yes, those old fogies will only drag us into an endless abyss."

Upon hearing Li Xun's words, Qian Renxue lowered her head, lost in memories, and couldn't help but think of Bibi Dong, her eyes filled with hatred.

Forcing herself to compose herself, Qian Renxue raised her head and gave Li Xun a smile: "Then let's split it 50/50, so neither of us gets the better deal?"

"Deal!" Li Xun stretched out his hand to Qian Renxue: "Sister Xue, just like I said before, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may have a chance to cooperate with the Spirit Hall."

"You really do keep your word."

Qian Renxue smiled at Li Xun's solemn expression and grasped her large hand: "Little brother Li Xun, would you be willing to engage in a deeper level of cooperation with me?"
