After two months, seeing Situ Yan again, his demeanor had changed quite a bit. At least, his appearance seemed more composed compared to their initial meeting, and his arrogance had subdued somewhat.
"Greetings, City Lord!" Li Jizhou bowed and clasped his hands as a greeting.
"Hahaha, no need for formalities, Chief Shopkeeper Li. You are the backbone of Liuyun City's commerce, and we should join hands to build the glory of Liuyun City, no need for such courtesy. Please, have a seat!" Situ Yan laughed heartily and pointed to a seat beside him.
"With City Lord Situ leading the southern ten cities, surely they will reach new heights." Li Jizhou echoed with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Situ Yan's expression instantly darkened.
With a heavy sigh, he said, "Alas, not everyone thinks as you do, Chief Shopkeeper Li!"
"Oh? Are there merchants among us who do not wish for the Immortal City to prosper?" Li Jizhou responded cooperatively.
Situ Yan's face suddenly turned grim.
