You feel for Yuxiu, I understand such thoughts, but if this territory is given to Yuxiu, it would be akin to harming her!"

Li Banfeng rubbed his chin, looking alarmed: "Big Brother He, if you hadn’t reminded me of this, I might have messed up big time."

He Haiqin sighed: "It’s not too late to realize it now."

Li Banfeng stood up and removed all his magical treasures: "Big Brother He, I will go persuade Yuxiu; this matter cannot be done recklessly. We can’t hold this territory, and it’s up to you."

He Haiqin waved his hand: "I can’t do it either, I might not be able to hold it!"

Li Banfeng smiled: "We’re all family, so being this polite is unnecessary. Big Brother He has Inner State backing him; no matter if it’s Pan Dehai or Tao Feiyan, who would dare challenge Inner State."

He Haiqin shook his head, smiled humbly.

Li Banfeng spoke to the phonograph: "Beloved wife, please entertain everyone for dinner first, I will be back soon, don’t forget to invite Big Brother He to the table, he is an honored guest."

Hong Ying chimed in: "Don’t worry, husband, if he doesn’t sit at the table, what shall we eat."

"Who told you to call me husband! Who told you to speak recklessly!" The phonograph slapped Hong Ying twice and said courteously to He Haiqin, "Big Brother He, you really ought to join us at the table."

He Haiqin felt something was amiss.

Seeing Li Banfeng leaving, he felt something was off.

Recalling the words exchanged with Li Banfeng earlier, he sensed something even more amiss.

Why did I trust him?

Why did I speak the truth to him?

He Haiqin opened his mouth towards Li Banfeng’s pile of magical treasures, preparing to swallow them, and then fight desperately.

Hong Ying grabbed a bottle of Xu Ji soy sauce and stuffed it into He Haiqin’s mouth: "This brand of soy sauce is great, has an exceptional taste, Xiaowan, you eat yours, I’ll start pickling him."

Gloves walked to the door and heard two groans.

The backscratcher lay on the ground; although it was broken in half, it had been swallowed by He Haiqin once, yet this magical treasure was tough, not completely dead.

"Let it be, the master might find it useful." Gloves collected the backscratcher.

...

Back in the woods, Li Banfeng saw He Haisheng.

He Haisheng always sat beside He Yuxiu; he couldn’t see He Yuxiu, but just sitting like that, he could hear his sister’s breath.

Seeing Li Qi, He Haisheng looked up and asked: "Where’s my brother?"

Li Qi said: "He left, rushing back to have dinner."

He Haisheng understood Li Banfeng’s intention.

They are all family, He Haiqin surely wouldn’t go all out, and since he’s left, the matter is probably settled.

He Haisheng glanced towards He Yuxiu, saying to Li Qi: "Thank you for taking care of my sister."

Li Banfeng nodded slightly.

He Haisheng took two steps, turned back, and said: "You must treat her well."

Li Banfeng nodded again.

After He Haisheng had gone far, Li Banfeng entered the Dark Dimension Space; He Yuxiu sat leaning against a pine tree, her eyes somewhat dazed.

"Brother Seven, I never thought Old Three would save me, among siblings he is the one I like the least."

Li Banfeng casually asked: "Why don’t you like him?"

He Yuxiu gave a bitter smile: "Can’t recall, disliked him since I was little, remember he was particularly pretentious, always liked to burrow into my arms.

It was fine at five or six years old, even at seven or eight one could dote, but at fifteen or sixteen, still burrowing into my arms, who’s able to stand that?"

Li Banfeng turned to look at He Yuxiu: "At fifteen or sixteen, still burrowed into your arms?"

"Yes!" He Yuxiu nodded.

Li Banfeng looked towards the edge of the forest, towards the place He Haisheng had left.

He Haisheng had already gone far; he suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking back at the distant forest.

"Must treat her well." He Haisheng muttered to himself.

Finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

...

Li Banfeng supported He Yuxiu, traversing through the new land.

Now Yuxiu must familiarize herself with the territory, or else she won’t be able to keep the status.

He Yuxiu walked with difficulty, had to rest after three or five miles, the two sat under a tree, He Yuxiu said: "I still can’t fathom how my two younger brothers found this place?"

Li Banfeng said: "This was news leaked from Inner State; they summoned people to seize this territory, whoever can seize it, owns it."

He Yuxiu pondered for a long time: "You might be right, what they did doesn’t count as breaching the contract."

Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, didn’t breach the contract, they acted openly, making it impossible for us to hold this territory, with no flaws to pick."

"If all kinds of ruthless people come to seize the territory, how can we fight?" He Yuxiu couldn’t think of a solution, so she slapped her thigh: "Brother Seven, since we can’t hold this territory, just don’t want it,

you immediately return to Greenwater City, I’ll go to the Contract Book and wait, if it doesn’t work, I’ll dig up the Contract Book, destroy it on the spot, I’ll fight with my life, can’t let them profit!"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "This is our territory, no one should think about taking advantage, I’ve anticipated Inner State’s move and prepared ahead."

He Yuxiu thought for a moment: "Are you referring to those three-headed ones..."

Li Banfeng picked up the simple phone, installed the dial plate, contacted Ma Wu through Luo Zhengnan: "Old Five, bring over those five thousand people."

To transport five thousand people to the new land, still being three-headed people, this task wasn’t easy; Ma Wu made a rough plan: "Old Qi, I plan to transport these people in ten batches, using large wagons, just say we’re transporting goods to the new land."

Li Banfeng said: "No need for ten batches, send all at once."

Ma Wu said: "This can’t be hidden; transporting five thousand people at once, what kind of vehicle can hold them?"

"No need for vehicles, just walk over, openly walk over!"

Ma Wu was taken aback: "Old Qi, what’s happened to you, we can’t mess around like this; five thousand three-headed people, all walking to the new land, wouldn’t that news spread across all of Greenwater City?"

Li Banfeng said seriously: "If it spreads across Greenwater City, that would be excellent; if it hasn’t spread, we’ll publish it in the newspaper, stating Li Qi found five thousand three-headed people for Green Flower, all sent to the new land."

Ma Wu paused for a moment, understood Li Banfeng’s intention: "Old Qi, you’ve prepared this trick all along!"

He Yuxiu also understood: "Brother Seven, you want to be upfront as well?"

"Indeed, upfront," Li Qi looked at the distance, saying, "We initially sought tranquility for elevation, if the territory had too many people and varied eyes, there inevitably would be changes,

now that the elevation matter is successful, we’ll openly manage the territory, Green Flower brought five thousand three-headed people, they’ll stand here, let’s see how many dare come and stir trouble."

He Yuxiu looked up at Li Qi and suddenly felt an infinite source of strength: "Brother Seven, when they come to develop, should I also learn how to respond?"

"That’s quite difficult, requires good learning," talking about development, Li Banfeng stood on the Wilderness looking around, "Xiuer, don’t you feel something is missing in this plot?"

Xiuer also felt something was missing: "Seems like it’s a bit too quiet."
