"It's fine. Today, I am a guest at Lord Wu's place. How could I let Lord Wu stand up to greet a guest? I'll just sit down."
Li Xu Kun took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Anyone who could make him feel threatened at least indicated that Wu Rulong was backed by a Quasi-Emperor level expert. His Li Clan Dynasty wasn't without Quasi-Emperor level experts, but the problem was that the Quasi-Emperor Old Ancestors of his Li Clan Dynasty were the kind whose lifespans were nearing their end. If they were to emerge, they might not even be able to return to lie in their coffins.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Li Xu Kun would definitely not ask the Old Ancestor to act. Furthermore, according to what he knew, the other three dynasties were also the same.
"Heh heh, the Emperor is quite a sensible person."
Wu Rulong looked at Li Xu Kun and said slowly with a smile on his face, but no matter how one looked at that smile, it seemed like mockery.
This immediately made Chen Ze and the others unable to stand it.
"That's enough! How can you scoff at the Emperor?"
"All of you, stay where you are! Don't attack!"
Li Xu Kun took a deep breath, his face stern, and stopped Chen Ze and the others. Was he joking? If they attacked, Li Xu Kun was certain that the ones who would die would definitely be them.
But Chen Ze and the others didn't know this, their faces full of disbelief.
However, Li Xu Kun didn't pay attention to them. He sat directly opposite Wu Rulong, a smile returning to his face as he spoke.
"Lord Wu, I am quite curious. What secret allowed you to establish such a massive Wu Clan Commerce in less than a hundred years, or did you have assistance from a benefactor?"
Everyone present was a clear-headed person, so Li Xu Kun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Wu Rulong, on the other hand, sighed, a look of deep melancholy on his face, and said in a lonely tone.
"Alas, I didn't want to, but this thing called a career... I originally just planned to play around, but I didn't expect to accidentally create such a huge commerce. It's really helpless."
Hearing the humblebragging in Wu Rulong's tone, the expression on Li Xu Kun's face instantly froze. Why was Wu Rulong's arrogant expression so punchable?
But Li Xu Kun still forced himself not to attack Wu Rulong and laughed heartily instead.
"Lord Wu is truly humorous. However, no matter how I look at it, it seems Lord Wu received help from a benefactor. There are no outsiders present today, so why don't you tell me who is behind you?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Who says there are no outsiders? Aren't you an outsider? Moreover, why should I tell you who is behind me?"
Wu Rulong frowned slightly and retorted mercilessly.
Hearing such disrespectful words, Li Xu Kun hadn't even spoken yet, but Chen Ze and the others behind Li Xu Kun immediately couldn't hold back. After all, in their hearts, Li Xu Kun had always been a supreme existence. How could they allow Wu Rulong to insult him like this?
"How dare you! You dare to say such words to the Emperor? It seems you are seeking death! Die for me!"
The short-tempered Chen Ze immediately charged towards Wu Rulong in anger, but just as he was about to attack, he was struck in the abdomen by Li Xu Kun's palm and immediately knelt on the ground.
"How dare you! I haven't even spoken yet. Who told you to attack?"
Chen Ze's face was full of shock, clearly not expecting Li Xu Kun to attack him.
He should know that he had acted for the Emperor's reputation. How could the Emperor attack him?
But at this moment, Li Xu Kun was in a situation where he couldn't speak of his troubles. After all, the faint threat emanating from Wu Rulong was something only he could sense, and if he spoke of it, he couldn't be sure if Wu Ru Long would attack.
"Hmph, consider this palm a lesson for you. Next time, don't act recklessly without receiving my command!"
Li Xu Kun snorted coldly, then ignored Chen Ze behind him and turned to look at Wu Rulong, a smile returning to his face as he said.
"Lord Wu, you've seen something amusing."
"Hahaha, it certainly was amusing. After all, subordinates must be managed well now. Mistakes must be admitted, and after being hit, one must stand at attention. If subordinates act recklessly, what are we managers here for?"
Wu Rulong also laughed along, the mockery in his eyes completely unconcealed.
Seeing this, although Li Xu Kun was a bit angry, he could only laugh along.
Just as Li Xu Kun was about to speak and ask, Wu Rulong finally spoke.
"Emperor, some time ago, a scoundrel came to me and said that you had ordered him to kill me, but I killed him instead. Does the Emperor know about this? After all, I am worried that someone might be slandering the Emperor by borrowing the Emperor's name."
Hearing Wu Rulong suddenly bring this matter up, Li Xu Kun's pupils slightly contracted, but he quickly reacted, his face full of anger.
"What? Someone dared to attack Lord Wu? And in my name? How audacious! Slander, it's absolutely blatant slander. If I find out who is slandering me, I will definitely make sure they die a terrible death!"
Li Xu Kun thought Wu Rulong brought up this matter just to intimidate him, but he didn't expect that the next second Wu Rulong would snort coldly and say.
"Li Xu Kun, stop pretending. Everyone knows whether you did it or not. If you are a man, then admit it. I can still respect you as a man."
Hearing this, Li Xu Kun lowered his head for a moment. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of calmness, and he said indifferently.
"It seems Lord Wu has his own views. If that's the case, then I don't need to say anything more. Do as you please."
The most urgent task was to leave this place first. Li Xu Kun could feel that Wu Rulong had prepared to fall out with him the moment he brought up this matter, and even had the confidence to survive or even counter-kill against his four supreme experts.
If that was the case, then no matter what happened, the most important thing was to leave this place first.
After returning to the Li Clan Dynasty, if Wu Rulong still pursued him, then he could only ask the Quasi-Emperor Old Ancestor to act and kill Wu Rulong.
"Hmph, from today onwards, my Wu Clan Commerce will completely target the Li Clan Dynasty's businesses! Until death do us part!"
After saying this, Wu Rulong stood up, ready to leave, but then he seemed to remember something and looked at Chen Ze and the others with a cold smile.
"Following an Emperor like this, is the Supreme Realm very impressive? Is the Nine Dragon Carriage very prestigious?"
Hearing this, Chen Ze and the others were angry but dared not speak. However, Wu Rulong did not stop there and looked at Li Xu Kun with a cold smile again.
"Eat shit, you!"
