Liu Zixuan doesn’t like taking small advantages from others because he prefers conning others out of big advantages.

He doesn’t enjoy losing in anything, especially when others try to play tricks on him.

This time, on the surface, Liu Zixuan settled the matter with ten billion in the bank and another billion in the stock market, but in reality, it wasn’t that simple.

The Four Great Clans and the Eight Great Powers had already fallen out with the Scattered Sects that had no background, so Liu Zixuan took advantage of the situation and let them fight among themselves, specifically letting those from Liger Gate leave Ghost Wood City to deal with Gu Chengyuan, Wei Zheng, and their people.

But during this time, Liu Zixuan played the good guy on both sides.

First, he kindly informed the Gu and Wei families that there would be danger after leaving Ghost Wood City, but nothing would happen within his Ghost Wood City.

Secondly, he didn’t overtly tell the martial artists from Liger Gate to kill people from the Gu and Wei families, only providing their whereabouts.

Actually, there’s no need to think about it; Liu Zixuan hadn’t fallen out with either side, so naturally, neither would dare go too far with him. But those Scattered Sects and the Four Great Clans and Eight Great Powers had torn their faces, so this time, the people of Liger Gate would certainly engage in a fierce battle.

No matter who won or lost this battle, it wouldn’t harm Liu Zixuan; instead, it might even benefit him greatly.

As long as one side lost and there were casualties, the forces behind each side wouldn’t easily let the other side go, so during the holiday season, Liu Zixuan could relax without anyone bothering him.

Of course, there was another implication: Liu Zixuan was using this method to tell the Eight Great Powers and the Four Great Clans.

If you continue using such schemes, you will inevitably end up like this, losing everything!

Thinking about this, Liu Zixuan couldn’t help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at alone?"

At this moment, Zhu Yi walked in and asked.

"I’m wondering who actually died now!" Liu Zixuan happily drank the wine in his cup and started eating.

Zhu Yi raised his eyebrows, having some suspicions but said nothing more, and joined Liu Zixuan in eating and drinking.

After a few rounds of drinks, Zhu Yi, slightly drunk, asked, "Heading back to Lingxiu Village tomorrow?"

Liu Zixuan nodded, "Tomorrow morning. Today’s girls definitely need to buy some more stuff. How’s Lingxiu Village lately?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yi immediately started talking nonstop like opening a floodgate.

Lingxiu Village has now become the most famous village in the northern part of Star Sea, comparable to the title of Star Sea First Village.

The biggest leading enterprise there is naturally the Xiumei Group’s underwear manufacturing factory, which attracts many people to visit thanks to its reputation.

This influx of visitors also directly boosted the business of the manor Zhu Yi established and the small tourism and leisure facilities around it.

When people really set foot in Lingxiu Village, they gradually realized its charm.

It’s like an Immortal Realm, with families living in villas worth millions and luxury cars parked in front of every house.

Moreover, due to the abundance of beauties in Lingxiu Village, many outsiders scrambled to become a live-in son-in-law there!

However, without exception, those men, regardless of their looks or wealth, were all rejected by the beautiful village women.

"Rejected?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "With so many people going there, there must be some outstanding ones. How come they’re all turned down?"

"It’s because of you!"

Zhu Yi said displeasedly, "Now, regardless of young, pretty girls, mature women, or older ladies, they all have a single standard for a partner."

"What’s it got to do with me?" Liu Zixuan asked, puzzled.

"Their standard is someone like you. Handsome like you, with your kind of capability, and must-have your medical skill and manly charm." Zhu Yi spread his hands helplessly.

Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Then I guess they’ll be alone forever. I haven’t met a man who surpasses me in this world."

Zhu Yi rolled his eyes, muttering, "To be honest, did you brainwash the villagers back in Lingxiu Village? Otherwise, why are they all supporting you like this?"

"Wanna know?" Liu Zixuan said teasingly.

"Tell me." Zhu Yi leaned forward with curiosity.

Liu Zixuan gave a smug smile, "First, you need a face as handsome as mine. Then, you need a manly charm that naturally makes beauties unable to refuse. After that, you must possess the medical skills that can make beauties more perfect, and lastly... cough, cough, the most crucial part!"

"What is it?" Zhu Yi asked eagerly.

"Thick-skinned!" Liu Zixuan enunciated each word clearly.

Upon hearing those three words, Zhu Yi nearly grabbed the wine bottle to hit Liu Zixuan. He thought it was some miraculous method, but it turned out to be just this.

Seeing his nonchalant look, Liu Zixuan said earnestly, "Brother Zhu, don’t think these three words are ordinary or lowly. The entire art of winning over a girl lies in this. Do you think that those who transform from losers to marrying rich and beautiful women rely on honesty? No! It’s unyielding thick skin!"

"Whether a confession succeeds often depends entirely on your thick skin. If you dare not loudly declare ’I love you’ in front of many people thick-skinned, you’ll never succeed in confessing!"

"It’s not that absolute. I’ve seen news of many failing despite having thick skin." Zhu Yi mumbled.

"That’s because they didn’t push their thick skin to the limit," Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Think of how many beauties are around me, and how I’ve never failed?"

"You..." Zhu Yi was left speechless, suddenly unsure of how to describe Liu Zixuan.

After a while, Zhu Yi sighed, "I can’t argue with you. I’ll leave you alone. The holiday is coming, and I need to visit Yuqing City."

"What’s up there?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Some company staff are still there. Besides, your Xiumei Group also has a branch there. I suppose you don’t plan to go, so I should check it on your behalf." Zhu Yi grumbled.

Liu Zixuan grinned, "Then I’ll leave it to you, Brother Zhu. Also, please prepare a generous gift for Ruyan’s adoptive mother’s home. After the holiday, if I have time, I’ll visit her with Ruyan."

"No problem." With that, Zhu Yi walked straight out.

As for Liu Zixuan, he didn’t stay idle either. He left the restaurant and headed straight to Treasure Hall. Sometimes, words are words, jokes are jokes, but after tricking Zhou Nian’s father so much, Liu Zixuan had to buy some gifts and pay a visit!
