Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1299 - 989: Gift Rejected

As a trusted aide of Lu Zi’an, Xu Kaijun naturally knew that Lu Zi’an was under restriction by the Heavenly Emperor, and Lu Zi’an himself had also said that he would dedicate the next ten years to intensive cultivation, and even when the confinement is over, he wouldn’t return to the Skyfire World anytime soon.

Hearing Xu Kaijun’s words, Ye Xingteng didn’t find it strange since they also had information that Prince Liu was not in Skyfire World. Ye Xingteng said, “No worries, we will establish a Chamber of Commerce here in Skyfire World, oh, I mean a company, and if Prince Liu returns in the future, we hope this lord could inform us.”

At this point, Ye Xingteng took out a Space Ring and handed it directly towards Xu Kaijun, saying, “Lord, a small token, please accept it with no obligations.”

Xu Kaijun merely glanced briefly at the Space Ring in Ye Xingteng’s hand and chose not to take it.

Xu Kaijun was fully aware of the reason why Prince Liu, Lu Zi’an was confined, and Prince Liu had also ordered his subordinates that from now on, no one is allowed to accept things from outsiders, and anyone discovered doing so would be expelled from his estate.

Even the Heavenly Emperor had personally warned Prince Liu, who would dare to accept gifts at such a time?

Xu Kaijun seriously said, “President Ye, please take these items back. The Prince has ordered that from now on, he will refuse any gifts, no matter who they are from.”

Hearing Xu Kaijun’s words, Ye Xingteng was slightly startled, somewhat confused. According to the intelligence they had gathered, wasn’t this Prince highly greedy and fond of beauties? Why would he refuse?

Ye Xingteng asked, “Lord, is there some misunderstanding here?”

Xu Kaijun said, “There’s no misunderstanding, the Prince truly said so, and we are just carrying out the Prince’s orders.”

Ye Xingteng thought for a moment, and to avoid causing any distaste from Xu Kaijun, he did not insist any further. He glanced at the dozen beauties, “We understand not accepting Spirit Stones and treasures, but surely the Prince might be interested in these beauties?”

“How about leaving them here to serve the Prince?”

Xu Kaijun also glanced at the beautiful women, then said indifferently, “The Prince has said that his mind is now focused on cultivation, whoever sends him beauties again, is simply sabotaging his Dao Heart.”

This…

The members of Changhong Trading Team were dumbstruck.

This was completely different from the intelligence they had gathered.

How could this be?

Why has Prince Liu suddenly changed as if he were a different person?

Xu Kaijun spoke again, “Alright, you all may leave. I will inform His Highness of your visit. If His Highness wishes to see you, he will naturally send someone to fetch you.”

“However, His Highness will focus on cultivation for the next ten years, so it is highly unlikely that you will see Prince Liu.”

Upon hearing this from Xu Kaijun, Ye Xingteng was bewildered; how could Prince Liu, who was nothing more than a good-for-nothing, think about cultivating?

According to the intelligence they gathered, Prince Liu wasn’t the type to engage in cultivation. How could he change his nature just because they came?

Once Ye Xingteng regained his composure, he said with a smile, “Sir, could you please tell me what happened that Prince Liu suddenly decided to retreat for cultivation?”

Xu Kaijun blandly said, “Why ask so many questions? Alright, you can leave now. If His Highness wants to see you, I will naturally send someone to inform you.”

Xu Kaijun seemed somewhat impatient now; during this time, many forces have come bearing gifts, and almost everyone asked about Prince Liu.

Of course, he knew why Prince Liu wanted to seclude himself for cultivation, but some things are not meant to be discussed lightly.

Seeing Xu Kaijun getting somewhat angry, Ye Xingteng said with a smile, “I understand, we will leave now.”

With that, Ye Xingteng turned to the members of the Changhong Trading Team and said, “Let’s go.”

Subsequently, they turned around to leave.

Just as they turned, they heard Xu Kaijun’s voice once more, “Wait, take all these things with you as well.”

Originally, Ye Xingteng and his group intended to feign forgetting the Spirit Stones and various treasures on the ground, as it is customary to show humility during gift-giving by pretending to refuse at first.

But since the gifts were brought and even displayed, it made no sense to take them back, so Ye Xingteng and his group turned to leave while leaving the items where they were.

Turning his head to Xu Kaijun, Ye Xingteng said with a smile, “Sir, there’s no reason to take back what has been given away.”

Xu Kaijun coldly responded, “If you insist on leaving these items here, then I must tell you that not only will you not meet Prince Liu, but it may also likely displease His Highness.”

“That’s all there is to say.”

Hearing Xu Kaijun say this, Ye Xingteng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he understood, “Thank you for the reminder, sir.”

As the words fell, Ye Xingteng immediately collected all the Spirit Stones and treasures from the ground.

After that, Ye Xingteng led the members of the Changhong Trading Team away, including the beauties who were initially meant for Lu Zi’an.

Once they returned to their hotel, a disciple from the Ye Family asked puzzledly, “President, have we really taken back the gifts?”

“Taking back the given gifts could anger Prince Liu if he finds out.”

Ye Xingteng calmly replied, “Did you not hear the guard say that leaving the items would actually displease Prince Liu?”

A person speculated, “That must have been just polite talk, or maybe they thought the Spirit Stones and treasures we offered lacked sincerity?”

They could not believe there was anything wrong with the intelligence they gathered, as everyone knows Prince Liu’s affairs—it’s known across all the major forces of the Daxia Dynasty, how could it possibly be wrong?

Besides, how could someone change so abruptly?
