The negotiation was set up in a teahouse.
The teahouse was decorated in a simple and elegant style.
It was not top-tier, but it was not too shoddy either.
The crucial point was the owner of this teahouse...
Commonly referred to as Ms. Wu.
She was one of Baron Zhu Di's mistresses.
Because of Zhu Di's status, no one in Zanglong City would dare to slight her.
...
When Li Pin and Qi Dongyuan arrived at the teahouse, Zhao Yuan greeted them with a smile: "Thanks to Martial Master Li for helping our Five Elements Sect get through this crisis. We are deeply grateful and will not forget your favor."
"As I have already signed an agreement with the Five Elements Sect, I consider myself as a part of it. I will do everything I can when the sect is in trouble."
Li Pin responded sensibly.
After some pleasantries, they quickly entered a private room on the second floor.
Several people were already waiting there.
Upon seeing Li Pin, they greeted simultaneously: "Martial Master Li."
