บท 320: Chapter 319: You wouldn't want the Great Power Heaven to suffer in my hands, would you?

"What do you mean, Zhu?"

Jing Ji's face darkened, he was on the brink of lashing out but after assessing the power dynamics, he chose to maintain civility.

It was not about fearing defeat, rather, the timing and location weren't suitable. Back in Lu Province, he would have already rallied his friends to confront the situation head-on.

"Elder Jing, don't misunderstand. I'm not causing a scene. The issue is that my young apprentice lacks business acumen, and I'm afraid he might get swindled by outsiders."

Zhu Heng gave a chuckle and arrogantly raised his head. "My nephew, just state your price, the only thing our Imperial Sect has in abundance is money."

Bold!

Lu Bei felt inwardly impressed while he stepped back to give Jing Ji and Zhu Heng some space.

In his view, doing this deal with Jing Ji was most suitable, but he couldn't disrespect the Imperial Sect. Caught between a rock and a hard place, it was best to let the big shots talk first.
