Li Zhongnan had already anticipated that he might overthink, so he didn't reveal too much and simply nodded, saying, "That's right. The environment in Ghostly Bamboo Land suits me well. I do wish to develop here for a while."
Lu Xingkong sneered internally. Hmph, this kid actually admitted it.
Lu Xingkong then said, "We're friends after all. If you want to develop in our Ghostly Bamboo Land, why not come directly to my side? I can treat you as a senior affiliated protector. Why bother setting up your own flag?"
"To be honest, I've grown accustomed to traveling and working alone. If this matter makes Young Master Lu feel uneasy, just assume I never came." With that, Li Zhongnan turned and began to leave, bidding him farewell.
Lu Xingkong frowned and quickly called out, "Mr. Li, please don't rush to leave."
