"Just because I wasn't interested in the past doesn't mean that I'm interested in the present or the future. The Mystic Moon world's development has forced me to focus more on the virtual world. However, the Skyfall Dynasty's development in the virtual world has disappointed me, so I need to get involved, "Gu Qing Han said casually as she glanced at Li Xiao Xue.
Behind her, Gu Tian Nan and the others lowered their heads in shame.
"Oh? You've disappointed Aunty Gu? " Li Xiao Xue's eyes flashed before she gave a confused look, "The Skyfall Dynasty's strength is known to all players in the world, and they are publicly acknowledged by Hua Xia players as one of the three most powerful guilds. Ever since the Mystic Moon world opened, the Skyfall Dynasty's development has been much faster than in the previous virtual world. Moreover, they've been keeping a low profile while developing in a high-profile manner, and their reputation is quite good. In terms of status and fame, they're getting closer and closer to the Yan Huang Alliance. I don't quite understand why Aunty Gu is' disappointed '. "
"You're right," Gu Qing Han calmly nodded. Ever since she had entered the Li family's residence, her expression had always been the same, as if she was a block of ice that would never melt. Li Xiao Xue hadn't interacted with her many times, but she had never seen her smile before. It was said that when she was young, she had suffered great emotional and mental damage, leaving an unforgettable scar in her heart. Ever since then, it was as if her heart had been sealed in ice, and no one had ever seen her smile again.
"The Skyfall Dynasty's current development speed and prospects are quite impressive. However, what I'm disappointed about is not those 2 things, but your Li family. Xiao Xue, I'm sure that someone as smart as you will understand what I'm saying. "
Li Xiao Xue thought for a moment before slowly nodding and smiling, "Is Aunty Gu concerned about the partnership between the Skyfall Dynasty and our Li family?"
Gu Qing Han slightly closed her eyes as she coldly replied, "Partnerships are mutually beneficial. At first, I didn't have any objections to the partnership between the Skyfall Dynasty and your Li family. However, as I paid more attention to the virtual world and understood the concept of the Skyfall Dynasty in the virtual world, I found that in the eyes of Hua Xia's players, and even the rest of the world's players, the Skyfall Dynasty doesn't just belong to the Gu family, it also belongs to the Li family … in fact, it even belongs to the Li family. Almost everyone believes that without the Li family's support, the Skyfall Dynasty wouldn't exist. Without the Li family, the Skyfall Dynasty wouldn't have the right to challenge the Yan Huang Alliance. What's more, some people believe that the Skyfall Dynasty belongs to the Li family, while the Gu family is only managing it for the Li family … Xiao Xue, I don't believe that you didn't add fuel to the fire behind the scenes. "
Li Xiao Xue smiled and said nothing. She knew that even if she tried to deny it, she would not be able to escape Gu Qing Han's terrifying eyes.
"Indeed, with the support of your Li family, the Skyfall Dynasty's development has been incredibly fast, which is why it has reached its current scale. As a condition of our cooperation, the Skyfall Dynasty is responsible for protecting all of your Li family's businesses in the virtual world. The Skyfall Dynasty has always protected all of your Li family's businesses in the virtual world, and has always responded to your Li family's calls and requests. In order to obtain large amounts of money, my 3 little brothers, who are managing the Skyfall Dynasty, have to act humbly in front of a little girl like you … if I didn't know about this, and was just a normal player, I would also think that the Skyfall Dynasty is supported by the Li family, or that the Skyfall Dynasty belongs to the Li family or is a subsidiary guild of the Li family! Yet, my 3 little brothers have maintained this for so many years; how could I not be disappointed? "
Gu Qing Han's final words became incredibly cold, and the 3 Gu brothers behind her began to sweat profusely, feeling incredibly uneasy.
Li Xiao Xue smiled, a very gentle smile, "So it's like that. That's what Aunty Gu cares about. Indeed, with Aunty Gu's staunch personality, she would definitely be extremely disgusted by this. I had to admit that I was just as Aunty Gu had thought. I had deliberately used some tricks to guide the public's opinion. However, since Aunty Gu will personally take over the Skyfall Dynasty in the future, I don't dare to act rashly in front of Aunty Gu. I'm sure that with Aunty Gu's intelligence, she will be able to easily change the direction of the public opinion. If Aunty Gu still holds a grudge against us, we can change the way we cooperate. As for completely stopping our cooperation, I hope Aunty Gu will reconsider. No matter if it's Li Xiao Xue or the Li family, we don't want to lose an ally like the Gu family. "
"There's no need," Gu Qing Han coldly shook her head, "I've never been willing to hesitate or change my decisions. Severing our cooperation with the Li family in the virtual world is equivalent to severing a large portion of the Skyfall Dynasty's capital chain, which will greatly impact the Skyfall Dynasty's development. However, the Skyfall Dynasty, which has been rapidly growing in comfort, will at most be like a sleeping tiger, and will only have a shockingly large body. In the future, the Skyfall Dynasty will belong to the Gu family, and I will personally turn it into an indestructible, sharp sword! "
"The contract between the Skyfall Dynasty and your Li family is signed once a year, and it has only been 7 months since the last contract was signed. As for the breach of contract, we will pay you in full according to the terms of the contract, not a single cent less. Moreover, it's said that Xiao Xue created the 'Snow Moon Loulan' and was named the 'Loulan Queen'. At its peak, the Snow Moon Loulan had over 100,000 members. Currently, the name 'Snow Moon Loulan' has not appeared in the Mystic Moon world. However, I'm sure that with Xiao Xue's intelligence, she won't completely trust our Gu family. As such, I have reason to believe that the Snow Moon Loulan still exists, but it's hidden in the shadows or has changed its name. In that case, even without our Gu family's' protection ', your Li family will have enough power to protect your businesses in the virtual world. "
Li Xiao Xue did not nod or shake her head, and she smiled as she replied, "Alright, since Aunty Gu insists …"
At this moment, Gu Tian Nan could no longer sit still. He stood up and said in a loud voice, "Big sis, you have to think this through! Right now, the Skyfall Dynasty has nearly 3 million members, and that's not including the subsidiary guilds. If we cut off the Li family's support, it'll be very difficult for us to maintain such a large guild! The compensation for breaking the contract will be an astronomical figure, and it'll be enough to make our Gu family lose a layer of skin … our Gu family's people are quite talented, but we're not good at making money … Miss Li, please help persuade big sis. "
Gu Qing Han frowned as she coldly replied, "What's the use of having a large number of mobs? The first thing I'll do after taking over the Skyfall Dynasty is to reduce its size. "
Gu Tian Nan's forehead was covered with sweat, "B-But …"
"No buts. Today's matter has been decided. Even if you don't want to, it's useless. "Gu Qing Han frowned, looking quite angry.
The anger in Gu Qing Han's voice caused Gu Tian Nan to shrink back. He opened his mouth, but didn't dare to say anything else. He lowered his head and obediently sat down. Gu Tiandong and Gu Tianping also lowered their heads, not daring to have the slightest bit of disagreement. Gu Qing Han had always been very domineering, and they couldn't help but admire her abilities, causing them to respect her from the bottom of their hearts.
Only then did Li Xiao Xue finish what she had been saying, "Since Aunty Gu insists, we'll do as Aunty Gu says. After Aunty Gu leaves here today, all of the contracts between our Li family and your Gu family regarding the virtual world will be null and void, and I will destroy those contracts before midnight. However, there's no need for the compensation; Aunty Gu can immediately forget about it. "
Gu Qing Han expressionlessly raised her head, "The Li Xiao Xue I know wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit her or the Li family. That's an amount that even your Li family won't look down on. Give me a good reason. "
Li Xiao Xue slightly smiled, a sincere look in her eyes, "I respect Aunty Gu; is that reason enough?"
Gu Qing Han deeply looked at her, and after remaining silent for a while, she slowly stood up. Her figure was tall and slim, and her simple clothes gave off a noble and elegant aura, "I can't think of a way to refuse this reason. Since it's like this, just pretend that I never mentioned the compensation. Xiao Xue, Aunty Gu won't take up too much of your time. The next time we meet, it might be in the virtual world … don't bother sending me off. "
Gu Qing Han straightforwardly left, and the 3 Gu brothers followed behind her with complicated expressions, not daring to look Li Xiao Xue in the eye. Li Xiao Xue did not go out to send her off, and her gaze fell on Gu Qing Han's back the entire time. Even after Gu Qing Han walked out, a strange ripple appeared in the depths of her eyes.
A moment later, a young lady wearing a plain shirt and a tight skirt walked out from the door behind Li Xiao Xue. She asked with a puzzled expression, "Miss, our cooperation with the Gu family in the virtual world is extremely important. All parties need to rely on each other. According to the contract, if one side breaks the contract, they will have to pay $9 billion … why did little miss take the initiative to cancel this contract? Is it really because you respect that Gu Qing Han? "
Li Xiao Xue continued to look in the direction that Gu Qing Han had left in, and the smile on her face became even more pronounced, "Aunty Gu is right. I, Li Xiao Xue, would never do anything that doesn't benefit me … I have my own thoughts on this matter. The reason why Aunty Gu wants to cut off our cooperation … is not because of what she said. "
"… Little miss, 10 minutes ago, I received a message from Miss Ying and Xi, telling you that they'll be back in 10 minutes. They've also brought back a guest that little miss has been waiting for, "the young woman said.
"Oh?" Li Xiao Xue turned, her expression becoming quite strange, "In that case, where are they now?"
"Number 0009 is already descending. Little miss, do you want to go and receive them?" The young woman looked at the screen in her hand as she looked up.
"They're already here …" Li Xiao Xue tapped her chin with her finger, and after a while, a bewitching smile appeared on her face, "Go and receive them. He then told Ying and Xi to bring the little sister who came with them to the amusement park and play whatever she wanted. Bring the only male guest here. "
