Luo Xi listened to An Sanjie recounting Liu Zixuan's past, occasionally bursting into laughter and occasionally furrowing her brows with worry for him.

Finally, An Sanjie was parched from talking and kicked Liu Zixuan: "That's enough for now, go get me a glass of water!"

Before Liu Zixuan could move, Luo Xi ran to the water dispenser and brought back a cup of water: "An An Jie, have some water!"

"So well-behaved!"

An Sanjie glanced at Luo Xi with a smile: "Follow me from now on. I really need a clever girl like you as my secretary!"

"Hey, hey, hey, poaching from me is not right!" Liu Zixuan grumbled displeasedly.

"What do you mean poaching, I'm not trying to date little Luo Xi, it's just that I really like this little girl." An Sanjie said with a meaningful smile: "Are you afraid little Luo Xi will suffer with me?"

"Not really, but what I mean is..."

Liu Zixuan leaned in closer: "Look, if little Luo Xi becomes your secretary, then do you need a driver? My wife and I can both work for you!"

"I don't want a stinky man like you!!"

An Sanjie rolled her eyes at him: "Alright, enough joking, let's talk business."

Liu Zixuan paused: "What business?"

"Did you really think I came all the way from Yuquan to joke with you two?"

An Sanjie said irritably, "I mean, what exactly are you thinking? With your abilities, you could've come to Celestial Capital, stood on a high platform, and boldly done whatever you wanted."

"So why did you specifically come to West City to stir things up?"

Liu Zixuan grinned: "Celestial Capital is full of hidden talents, and there's an unwritten rule that a powerful force will inevitably be rejected by the local powers if it tries to settle in. If I came with a high profile without any foundation, I'd probably end up falling from a great height with a hard landing!"

"I'm not like you, deeply rooted in Celestial Capital, doing things without needing to consider much. I have no choice but to do this."

"Why didn't you come find me?" An Sanjie asked.

"Do I look like a man who depends on women?" Liu Zixuan chuckled cheekily, "Sanjie, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to do that."

"If I wanted to come to Celestial Capital with a high stance, I have options. I could use Meng Family as a base, or cooperate with Qu Family, or at the very least, come to you!"

"But that would all be relying on others to support me, would I really grow that way? Obviously not. So I chose to be here, and the results are good anyway. Within a few days, I've already laid some foundations and gained some capital to contend with other big shots!"

Seeing Liu Zixuan's candid demeanor, An Sanjie sighed: "What you say isn't without reason, but have you thought about this: Niu Lao Wu and Fan Xingkong are the bottom rung, no one cares about their lives or deaths. But Jin Ye is different."

"What's different about him? Aren't we all human?" Liu Zixuan laughed.

"Do you know why outside they call him second only to the top ten influential figures of Celestial Capital?" An Sanjie asked.

"I really don't know, but honestly, his abilities are quite poor," Liu Zixuan shrugged.

"That's because that reputation was intentionally spread by the top ten influential figures, using him as a scapegoat."

"A scapegoat?" Liu Zixuan frowned.

An Sanjie nodded with focused eyes: "No matter what external force comes, they must first come to West City because East City is already saturated and filled with Celestial Capital natives. But West City is different, mostly outsiders without foundation, it's easy to gain a foothold!"

"There are indeed several big shots in West City, but they don't show themselves. They pushed Jin Ye out to become the most famous figure in West City, second only to the top ten influential figures."

"The purpose is to let him intimidate outsiders. Generally, Jin Ye can manage almost any external forces or families, making them dare not settle in Celestial Capital. Even if Jin Ye can't handle it, sometimes the top figures will intervene secretly!"

Liu Zixuan asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't they intervene this time?"

"Because it happened too fast!"

An Sanjie sneered, "Also blame you, a freakishly talented guy, who would've thought a guy in his twenties could sweep Jin Ye in just a few days? Jin Ye didn't expect it, and naturally, those big shots didn't either!"

"Are they targeting Zixuan now?" Luo Xi frowned, asking worriedly.

An Sanjie slightly nodded her head, solemnly saying: "Correct, now they've indeed noticed Liu Zixuan!"

"Then it's over!" Luo Xi's face instantly turned pale, muttering as she clung to Liu Zixuan's arm: "That's the strongest presence in Celestial Capital! And there are ten of them! What should we do!"

"We'll face threats as they come!" Liu Zixuan said calmly, he had planned to have confrontations with them, it was only a matter of time!

An Sanjie took a sip of water, saying: "But don't be afraid, those guys are still discussing things!"

"Discussing what?" Liu Zixuan laughed awkwardly: "Could it be they're discussing how to deal with me?"

An Sanjie glared at Liu Zixuan: "If they had to discuss it to deal with you, then they wouldn't deserve to be called influential figures!"

"They're discussing whether to keep you or kill you. On one hand, Jin Ye as a scapegoat is gone; to maintain Celestial Capital's balance, another scapegoat is needed. Jin Ye had little ambition and was easy to control, but other forces are already forming!"

"Trying to control now is very difficult, but you're different. Although you've been in Celestial Capital for some time, you haven't solidified your foundation. Now some people want to push you as a scapegoat. Others think what you've done recently is too much, fearing you could threaten their position in the future, so they also want to kill you!"

"An An Jie, you're also one of the top ten, what are you going to do to Zixuan?" Luo Xi asked cautiously.

An Sanjie snickered: "You silly girl, if I wanted to harm him, would I come and tell you all this? His master is my best friend, how could I let him get hurt!"

"Did you hear that? This is the rhythm of being kept!" Liu Zixuan playfully tapped Luo Xi's nose with a mischievous smile.

"Can't you be serious, at this time you're still in the mood to joke!" Luo Xi pinched him: "Listen to An An Jie properly."

"Make him listen to me?"

An Sanjie shook her head: "Little Luo Xi, you really don't understand Liu Zixuan. If he were someone who easily listened to others, then he wouldn't be Liu Zixuan!"
