After Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao went out for a walk, they joined Qi Heng and Bi Liuyun.
“Young Master, have you found anything?” Qi Heng asked the complacent Qi Shaorong.
Qi Shaorong nodded, and exultantly said, “We participated in the locally held exchange meeting. It was very interesting. I found a lot of Sea Tribe specialties, and bought a lot of them back.”
With a wave of Qi Shaorong’s hand, numerous Sea Tribe specialties appeared on the table.
Bi Liuyun said with disgust: “Young Master, you bought a lot of bottom-shelf products!”
Qi Shaorong: “……”
“They’re all bottom-shelf products?” Qi Shaorong frowned.
Bi Liuyun nodded, “Yeah! I heard that some Sea Clans will eliminate old things to take to the human realm and sell them to humans who are ignorant of such things.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” So, he is the human who is ignorant of such things?
“Don’t talk about this, I found that our Allure Cosmetics can be a big market here. We can open a branch of Allure Cosmetics here, and the business will be very good. Maybe God sent me here, to expand my cosmetics business to the boundaries of the Sea Realm.”
Bi Liuyun tilted his head, and looked at Qi Shaorong, “Young Master, it’s not God who sent you here, it’s the emperor.”
Qi Shaorong: “……”
Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong, thought for a moment, and said, “Young Master, if you want to open a store in the Jade Sea Plains, the storekeeper must have strength. Otherwise, it will be easy to be robbed. I heard there are frequent robberies in the Jade Sea Plains.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” These two are really good at throwing cold water!
“You two also went out. What did you discover?” Qi Shaorong asked.
“Young Master, Bi Liuyun and I have heard that there are two major forces on the Jade Sea Plains, one is Moyun Firm and the other is Tianlong Firm.”
“Moyun Firm has saint-level masters in charge, and they have contacts with many Sea Clans. They mainly sell goods to the Sea Clans. It is said that Moyun Firm was originally pirates that unearthed ancient sites, basically digging tombs. After cleaning their reputation, they started doing serious business. The firm has a lot of mercenary groups, and the business is huge.”
“Tianlong Firm is very mysterious. It’s a business that suddenly appeared on the Jade Sea Plains. The owner of the business has always been a mystery. However, what is certain is that many of the forces that went against the Tianlong business disappeared silently. ”
“The top management of Tianlong Trading Company is very capable. Although Moyun Firm has exchanged lots of sea clan items with the sea clan, most of which are ordinary goods. However, the Tianlong Firm even sells the treasures of the Sea Clans.”
“In the past, the forces that came to the Jade Sea Plains would choose either two forces to take refuge in. In this way, they could live longer.”
……
Qi Shaorong rolled his eyes, interrupting Qi Heng’s words to ask, “How long did the longest live?”
“Ten years.”
Qi Shaorong said unhappily: “Only ten years! Those guys didn’t live long.”
“However, it is said that some of the ones with no backers just arrived and haven’t acclimatized to the environment and died.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” Haven’t acclimatized to the environment? The lords who came to this place all have an eighth-level cultivation base, and the eighth-level powerhouses died because they haven’t acclimatized to the environment?
“From past experience, it is very necessary to choose a faction to join.” Qi Heng said.

Qi Shaorong snapped his fingers and said, “Let’s do as you say.”
Zhuang Hao: “……”
When Qi Shaorong walked to Tianlong Firm, he was immediately shocked.
The entire Tianlong Firm was built with crystal stones, and the entire firm was like a beautiful crystal palace.
The sun shines on the firm, and the whole firm seems to be glowing.
Qi Shaorong looked at the four characters of Tianlong Firm in front of him, and couldn’t help sighing: “Impressive! Calligraphy’s outstanding!”
Bi Liuyun shook the folding fan in his hand, and smiled, “Young Master, let’s go in.”
Qi Shaorong nodded and replied, “Okay.”
Just as Qi Shaorong walked into the store, he was astonished by the items in the store.
All kinds of unique corals, football-sized luminous pearls, hundreds of meters long chiffon, crystal clear mermaid tears…… All kinds of Sea Clan treasures in Tianlong firm, all one can think of are on hand.
“So expensive!”
The goods in Tianlong Firm are all high-quality goods and have sky-high prices.
It can be said that it is easy not to open, and it has been open for three years.
Most of the guests who come in just take a look.
……
A man in a golden robe walked down the stairs.
“Young Master, look at this shop, is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?” The steward of the firm followed the man in fear and asked respectfully.
Hearing the chatter from the stairs, Qi Shaorong and others looked towards the stairs at the same time.
The brocade robed man on the stairs is extraordinarily handsome. He has the air of a king, which makes people’s hearts shake at first glance.
Qi Shaorong looked at the man in the golden robe, smiled, and said uncontrollably, “That is one handsome guy!”
Zhuang Hao clenched Qi Shaorong’s hand in dissatisfaction, Qi Shaorong pouted, thinking: Zhuang Hao is a big vinegar jar.
Bi Liuyun’s eyes were fixed on the man, his brows were furrowed, and couldn’t look away.
Feeling Bi Liuyun’s scorching gaze, Hai Ling. looked towards Bi Liuyun.
When Qi Shaorong saw Hai Ling looking at Bi Liuyun, he felt a little odd. He wanted to remind Bi Liuyun, but it was too late.
“This guest, what are you looking at?” Hai Ling’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Bi Liuyun.
Bi Liuyun blanked out, then showed a shy smile, and said, “Ah! The young master is so handsome, I was stunned for a while.”
Hailing smiled, “Am I very handsome?”
Bi Liuyun nodded and said, “Of course.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
The man smiled and chatted with Bi Liuyun for a while, and then left with someone.
Not long after, Qi Shaorong and the others also left the Tianlong Firm.
……
Zhuang Hao looked at Bi Liuyun, whose brows were clenched tightly, and said in confusion: “Musician Bi, what’s the matter with you! You’ve seen all sorts of people in the world! That little white face doesn’t seem to be anything special, why do you seem to want to disarm and surrender!”
Bi Liuyun looked at Zhuang Hao and said, “You won’t understand.”
Zhuang Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “What don’t I understand! Did you fall in love with that little white face at first sight?”
“You’re thinking too much! Young Master Zhuang Hao, is your brain rusting because you’ve been thinking about some scraps all day?” Bi Liuyun said angrily.
Zhuang Hao: “……”
Inside Tianlong Firm
Hai Ling crossed his arms, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Young Master, why are you suddenly interested in a human?” A guard beside Hailing asked in confusion.
Hailing smiled, “I don’t know! That intense gaze was very interesting.”
“Young Master, how the aquarians look at you is also very intense!” The guard said, puzzled.
“But this, it seems a little different! His aura is a little weird.”
“Young Master, is he an aquarian?”
“Doesn’t look like it, definitely a human.”
“Go check the origins of those people. Perhaps the City Lord took office ahead of schedule.”
“Young Master, what do you mean?”
“A party of four, all of them are young masters. Before, the aura on the boy in white was no weaker than mine. I think he should be Zhuang Hao.”
“Young Master, I’ll go check right away.”
As Qi Shaorong and his party were walking on the road, Bi Liuyun held his chin thoughtfully.
Qi Shaorong looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “Liuyun, did you find something? Is that why you’re so abnormal?”
Bi Liuyun smiled and said: “Young Master, you know me so well! I found out that the young master of the Tianlong Firm is not a human.”
“Isn’t a human, is he an aquarian? But he looks exactly like a human!” Qi Heng said in confusion.
“The royal sea clan is very similar to the human race. The humans have potions that can disguise oneself as an aquarian, then naturally there are potions that make the aquarians disguise as the human race.” Bi Liuyun said.
Qi Shaorong held his hands on his back and said, “no wonder the young master of the firm gave me a very strange feeling. So it was like this!”
Bi Liuyun put his arms around Qi Shaorong’s shoulder and said, “Young master, if you think that the young master of the business is strange, perhaps it’s because he is too handsome.”
“That’s right! That guy is really handsome!” Qi Shaorong said with a wide-eyed smile.
Zhuang Hao said with some dissatisfaction: “That guy doesn’t look very good, he is far worse than me.”
Bi Liuyun smiled at Zhuang Hao, “Young Master Zhuang, you don’t have to be in such a hurry to make a statement, it makes it seem like you lack self-confidence.”
Zhuang Hao: “……”
Zhuang Hao looked at Bi Liuyun strangely and said, “Musician Bi, you seem to know the Sea Tribes very well! Do you possibly have any relationship with the Sea Tribes?”
Bi Liuyun was startled for a moment, then smiled, “I am knowledgeable and talented. Not only do I know about the aquarians, I’m also knowledgeable about other races.”
“Young Master, shall we go to Moyun Firm next time?” Qi Heng asked.
Qi Shaorong shook his head, “No need, let’s go in the future. We’ll go to the City Lord’s Mansion first, since it’s where I will have to live in the future .”
Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Young Master, in fact, I got some news that the City Lord’s Mansion may not be what you imagined.”
Qi Shaorong tilted his head, “If it’s not like what I imagined, then what is it like?”
Qi Heng smiled, “We’ll find out when we go there tomorrow.”
