Seeing Gu Fei's unpleasant expression, the three quickly explained, "Don't overthink it, we were just curious and inquired a bit. We didn't really sell you off."

"Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal if you were sold," Brother You said. "Qian Li, is your friend-finding switch turned off?"

"You sold him?" Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wu Shang asked Brother You.

"How could I!" Brother You said. "It's only worth 20 gold coins..."

"That's just the price for providing a name. Say, if we introduced him in person, wouldn't the price go up?" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"It'd definitely go up," Yu Tian Shen Ming nodded repeatedly.

So everyone looked at Gu Fei eagerly, as if they had found a top-quality piece of equipment worth speculating on.

"Let's split it three-seven! You get seven, and the three of us get three," Yu Tian Shen Ming suggested.

Gu Fei's face turned cold.

"People went to so much trouble to find you, give them a chance!" Zhan Wu Shang said.

Gu Fei didn't intentionally try to hide himself, but the sudden realization that he had become a business deal felt very strange. And having such a group of bad friends who really wanted to push him onto the market was just too unacceptable.

"Don't mess around!" Han Jia Gongzi finally spoke.

*Hmm*, this guy still stands his ground on major principles! Gu Fei didn't know how to respond to Yu Tian Shen Ming and the others' attempts when Han Jia Gongzi came to his rescue, which made him very gratified.

Han Jia Gongzi said unhurriedly and methodically, "Right now, only two guilds are paying attention to Qian Li. Wait for the competition to continue, and the number of guilds paying attention to him will definitely increase. Then it will be easier to speculate for a higher price!"

Gu Fei: "..."

"That makes sense!" Zhan Wu Shang slammed the table in admiration.

"Qian Li, perform well!" Yu Tian Shen Ming eagerly hoped.

"How much do you think we should charge for this meeting fee?" Brother You had already begun practical operations.

"Hey!" Gu Fei felt that these people were treating him like a dead man.

"The name alone is worth twenty or thirty, so the meeting should be worth at least fifty or sixty, right?"

"Fifty or sixty? At least a hundred! Don't think it's expensive, this isn't even a discount! You have to study the psychology of these guild leaders. In their hearts, a talent like Qian Li is very precious. They're willing to pay twenty or thirty gold coins just to buy a name, so I don't think they'd mind paying a hundred more for a close encounter."

"Ah, I think we should do it this way! They won't be able to convince Qian Li with just one meeting, right? As long as they haven't added him as a friend, they'll have to go through us to invite Qian Li, so we can charge another fee. If Qian Li rejects them ten or eight times, wouldn't we make a killing?"

"You're being a bit fanciful! People will see that we're blatantly making money in this way."

"That's right, so the meeting has to be arranged as if Qian Li didn't notice, so people won't be suspicious!"

"Yes, yes, if they know we're making money in this way, it will make us seem very despicable!"

"You guys still know what despicable means? I strongly object!" Gu Fei shouted.

The others looked strange, and after a moment of silence, Brother You laughed, "Hehe, we're just kidding, you took it seriously!"

Gu Fei seriously sized up the others. Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming both smiled and repeatedly said, "Just kidding, just kidding!"

"I have something to do and have to leave first, see you later! Nothing important, right?" Gu Fei looked at Han Jia Gongzi. Because at this moment, they usually talked about the opponent's information for the next battle.

"Nothing!" Han Jia Gongzi replied. Today, the mercenary group's opponent was very weak and not worth discussing before the match.

So Gu Fei said goodbye to the others and left first.

The private room was silent. Yu Tian Shen Ming reached out and lifted the curtain to look outside.

"Is he gone?" Zhan Wu Shang asked after a moment.

"Gone!" Yu Tian Shen Ming nodded.

"You see, we don't actually need Qian Li to know about this deal," Brother You said. "Just invite the big shots like Yun Zhong Mu Di and Ni Liu Er Shang to sit down, and then call Qian Li over, and it's done!" (Yun Zhong Mu Di = Cloud Herding Enemy, Ni Liu Er Shang = Upstream Against the Current)

"Not many guilds know how powerful Qian Li is now, but if they don't know, we can make them know! Now, the search for Qian Li has become the talk of the town. I estimate that everyone is a little curious. Although Dui Jiu Dang Ge and Ni Liu Er Shang hope that others won't realize that the guilds are digging for talent, paper can't contain fire. Look, don't we all know?" Brother You said. (Dui Jiu Dang Ge = Drinking Wine and Singing Songs)

"If I hadn't said it, would you have known?" Han Jia Gongzi scoffed.

"You would say it, and others would say it. Plus, those guys who are inquiring about information and advertising all over the city, the discerning eye will see that these are all two guilds, and they will eventually realize that this mage they are looking for is a big deal. We are just letting some wind out to speed up this knowing, and there's no need for Qian Li to break into fame round after round in the competition. If he follows Resurgence Purple Crystal, he might be eliminated today." Brother You said.

"Ah, Brother You, you are much more despicable than I imagined!" Yu Tian Shen Ming repeatedly sighed.

"I'll go to the forum tonight and open a dozen alt accounts to speculate, and I guarantee that everyone will know what Dui Jiu Dang Ge and the Yun Mu guild are up to tomorrow." Brother You said, "At that time, wouldn't guilds like your Zong Heng Si Hai also get involved? It's difficult to determine whether your strength and Dui Jiu Dang Ge are stronger or weaker, precisely because neither side has such a super elite member. Whoever gets Qian Li will be the veritable number one guild in Cloud End City. I think all guilds above level four will be tempted by the wind." (Zong Heng Si Hai = Traversing the Four Seas)

"We're going to be rich!" Zhan Wu Shang exclaimed excitedly.

"But... how do we explain it to Qian Li? I feel like he's not very willing to do this." Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"This, let's just treat it as a joke! Qian Li isn't that petty!"

"But with his personality, he probably won't want the money earned this way." Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

Brother You didn't answer, just smiled on the side.

Yu Tian Shen Ming suddenly realized, "Brother You, you are really too despicable, too shameless."

"Then do you want this money?" Brother You asked calmly.

"Of course I want it!" Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted.

"What about you guys?" Brother You looked at the others.

"Count me out!" Jian Gui said faintly, got up, straightened his cloak, and went out. (Jian Gui = Sword Ghost)

Brother You didn't seem surprised by this and looked at Zhan Wu Shang and Han Jia Gongzi.

Zhan Wu Shang nodded very clearly, while Han Jia Gongzi just shrugged, indicating that he had no objection. Then he went to drink his wine on his own.

"Won't Jian Gui tell Qian Li?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said with some concern.

"No, he's not that meddlesome." Brother You said.

"You know him pretty well!" Han Jia Gongzi raised his eyebrows.

"Hehe!" Brother You just smiled faintly.

"Then we have to hurry! Will someone beat us to it?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"This depends on Resurgence Purple Crystal. Apart from them, Qian Li probably doesn't have any friends. Aren't you two quite familiar with Resurgence Purple Crystal? You can go and sound them out!" Brother You said to Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming.

"Makes sense, makes sense!" The two quickly got up and left. Originally, private chats would have been enough to inquire about information, but how could the two give up any opportunity to meet and communicate with the girls?

After the two left, Han Jia Gongzi said faintly, "Of course there's no problem with Resurgence Purple Crystal. If they were willing to talk, the two major guilds wouldn't have failed to find out any information until now. They're not saying, maybe they don't want to use this method to make money?"

Brother You smiled.

"The posts on the forum, you've already prepared them, haven't you?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"Uh, I set up automatic updates, the first one is probably already out." Brother You said.

"You could have done this business alone." Han Jia Gongzi said.

Brother You smiled without saying a word.

"You dragged us in, it seems you're afraid that Qian Li will get angry afterwards, so you're tying us several grasshoppers together?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Where, let's make money together!" Brother You said.

"Why bother, if you arrange it well, Qian Li may not notice." Han Jia Gongzi said.

Brother You smiled indifferently, "Too many coincidences will always arouse his suspicion. It's nothing to occasionally meet a friend, but if everyone he meets says the same thing to him, do you think he'll be suspicious?"

"Hmm, you've considered it very carefully." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Hehe!"

"I hope you succeed." Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Don't say that, you also have shares!" A confident smile appeared on Brother You's face.

At this time, Gu Fei, who had left the Xiao Lei Tavern, came to the system tavern in the central square of Cloud End City. As soon as he entered, he saw Xi Xiao Tian waving her arms at him from a corner.

Gu Fei walked quickly towards there. The "something" he was referring to was Xi Xiao Tian calling him over. Although the two had added each other as friends, this was the first time they had sent private messages. Gu Fei was very surprised, so he came to see what she wanted.

At the corner table, besides Xi Xiao Tian, there was another person sitting there. Gu Fei quickly approached, and that person turned his head with a smile. When he saw Gu Fei, he was immediately stunned: "It's you!"

"You two know each other?" Xi Xiao Tian was surprised.

"Gongzi Elite Group, Resurgence Purple Crystal... I never thought that my mercenary group and guild would all be defeated by you." The person at the table was none other than Yun Zhong Mu Di, the president of the Yun Mu Guild. "In that case, we can be considered to have a relationship."
