Bai Qingqian sat dejectedly, wounded in spirit, yet in the grand hall, amidst the hearty drinking and singing, a group of merchants reveled with great enthusiasm.
Zeng Ji knew exactly how to behave; he was well aware that if he kept all the spoils to himself, even so-called friends with interests would stand up and cry foul—not because it was unfair, but because you didn't understand the concept of sharing the profits.
Therefore, Bai's Trading Company, this chunk of fat meat, was to be shared by everyone present. This included Artifacts, as well as many other things like Talismans, Elixirs, materials, and so on, even including Bai's channels, which were all part of the spoils to be divided.
In the Cultivation Business World, such situations were inevitable. There would always be businesses falling behind, completely devoured in the competition—this was the natural ecology of the Cultivation Business World.
