Liu Ba harbored ambitious thoughts and began to work diligently for Cao Cao's cause. Naturally, when Guan Yu saw Liu Ba appearing in the imperial court and sitting behind Cao Cao, his dissatisfaction was evident and needed no concealment.
However, to Guan Yu, Liu Ba could only apologize, indicating that he would definitely repay the favor in the future. Yet, Liu Ba didn't like Liu Bei, nor did he like the youthful success of Chen Xi, which is understandable.
Especially after Liu Ba discovered Chen Xi's methods; although he was about to use such methods, he still believed that these tactics were deceiving people, and in Liu Ba's eyes, such methods of deceiving people were not straightforward or honorable.
When Chen Xi received information about Liu Ba, Chen Xi felt nothing special. Just Liu Ba, not an important figure. As for his expertise in economics, Chen Xi didn't think there was anything commendable.
