Li Jingshan stood outside the gates of Courtyard No. 7, with his hands behind his back, inspecting the entrance.

As the Grand Steward of the Li Family, visiting a newly appointed Commander was nothing; even visits to those veteran Commanders usually saw them coming out to greet him.

If it weren't for the matter of the Demon Armor Group, he would never have personally sought out Li Xiu, such a new Commander.

Even though Li Xiu thoroughly defeated Su Bancheng in the Divining Celestial Secret, it didn't mean much to Li Jingshan.

After all, Magic Armor Masters are just useless dependents of Demon Armor. He couldn't wear Demon Armor twenty-four hours a day; there are simply too many ways to kill a Magic Armor Master.

Even a Magic Armor Master wearing Demon Armor wouldn't be hard to eliminate if the Li Family really wanted him dead.

Compared to Li Xiu's strength, the Li Family was more concerned with the interests of the Demon Armor Group.

Although the Demon Armor Group was managed by Bai Wanli, the resources taken from the Demon Armor Group included a portion for the Li Family, and it was a substantial share at that.

Originally, the Li Family thought Li Xiu would never truly control the Demon Armor Group, but unexpectedly, he had such methods, leading the group to participate in the Divining Celestial Secret ceremony and decisively defeating Su Bancheng with Demon Armor, thus securing his position as Commander.

The Li Family had already heard Bai Wanli talk about Li Xiu's methods. Bai Wanli's operatives within the Demon Armor Group had already revealed Li Xiu's details of killing the demon eye and seizing the Demon Armor Group.

In addition, Li Xiu even defeated Su Bancheng as a Magic Armor Master, making it difficult for Bai Wanli to reclaim the Demon Armor Group.

Though Bai Wanli held the Blood Seal Stone, since he wasn't the Commander of the Demon Armor Group, he couldn't truly use the Blood Seal Stone to kill all those Magic Armor Masters.

The Li Family didn't care; whether in Li Xiu's or Bai Wanli's hands, it made no difference to them, as long as Li Xiu handed over the share meant for the Li Family in full. The Li Family didn't mind Li Xiu truly controlling the Demon Armor Group.

But these matters couldn't be discussed openly, which is why Li Jingshan had personally come to find Li Xiu.

The Li Family could tolerate Bai Wanli, so naturally, they could also tolerate Li Xiu. With another capable person to handle matters for the Li Family, why not?

Li Jingshan initially believed that once he announced his affiliation with the Li Family, Li Xiu would immediately come out to greet him. Yet, after waiting and waiting, the gates remained closed.

Li Jingshan stood there, maintaining his hands-behind-back posture, his neck starting to feel a bit sore.

After waiting a while longer with absolutely no movement, Li Jingshan couldn't resist and knocked on the door again.

"Hello." Sha Chu soon opened the door and stepped out.

"I told you to inform Li Xiu, did you relay my message?" Li Jingshan said, suppressing his anger.

"I did. The Commander has some important work. Please wait in the living room," Sha Chu replied with a smile.

"Did you tell him I'm from the Li Family?" Li Jingshan said with a frown.

"I did. The Commander asks that you wait in the living room," Sha Chu still smiled.

Li Jingshan twitched his lips, but ultimately said nothing more, only uttering: "Lead the way."

"Utterly foolish. Does he not realize that someone who would come looking for him at this time absolutely wouldn't be an insignificant member of the Li Family?" Li Jingshan thought to himself, assuming Li Xiu was unaware that a prominent Li Family person had come, temporarily tolerating the situation. After all, money was important, and he could bear a bit for money.

If the resources from the Demon Armor Group were lost, the Li Family might suffer a nearly fifty percent loss in income, which was not a trivial amount. If this matter wasn't handled properly, it wouldn't be easy to explain to the Patriarch.

Li Jingshan arrived in the living room and sat down loudly. Sha Chu brought a pot of brewed tea for him and then went off to attend to other affairs.

Li Jingshan pretended to leisurely sip tea, but after cup after cup with his mouth turning bitter, he still hadn't seen Li Xiu come over.

While Li Jingshan was feeling annoyed, he saw someone walking in from outside. Looking up, it was Li Xiu.

"Apologies, I had some matters needing attention. Sorry for keeping you waiting. May I know how to address you?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Li Jingshan." Li Jingshan directly gave his name, knowing that hearing it would naturally reveal his identity.

"So it is the Grand Steward of the Li Family. What guidance might I receive?" Li Xiu really had heard of Li Jingshan's name.

Since Li family matters were mostly handled by this Grand Steward, although merely the steward of a family, the power of the Li Family's Grand Steward was not inferior to that of a Commander.

"Commander Li, young and talented, assuming the role of Commander at such a young age is rare in the history of Changshengtian. I am here, firstly, to congratulate you on taking over the Demon Armor Group, and secondly, to inform you of some rules of the Demon Armor Group," Li Jingshan said lightly.

"I wonder what rules govern the Demon Armor Group; I am all ears," Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Seventy-Thirty resource allocation from Changshengtian to the Demon Armor Group; thirty percent goes to storage, and seventy percent requires redistribution," Li Jingshan said, looking at Li Xiu.

"How should these seventy percent be redistributed?" Li Xiu asked.

"Previously, when Vice President Bai managed the Demon Armor Group, he worked hard and could take twenty percent. The remaining fifty percent, taken from Changshengtian, naturally also needs to be returned to Changshengtian," Li Jingshan said.

Li Xiu understood from Li Jingshan's words that Changshengtian was Li Family's, so that fifty percent naturally had to be given to the Li Family.

"And how does the Grand Steward plan to divide it now?" Li Xiu asked calmly.
