"Brother, you are not here to buy anything, right? If you have anything to say, why don't we talk in the back?"

Ye Luo was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not show any fear at all, which made the young man a little unbelievable for a moment.

"Okay!" the young man agreed immediately.

Xiangling held Ye Luo's hand and said, "Ye Luo, this person is not friendly, so it's better not to talk to him alone."

Ye Luo looked at the young man, and a hint of coldness appeared on his sick face.

After comforting Xiangling softly, Ye Luo smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. You continue to sell things here. I'll be back soon. Don't worry about me."

"Brother, how about we chat in the back?"

Ye Luo smiled. His cordial invitation made it impossible for the young man to refuse.

"Okay, let's talk then."

After saying that, the young man dragged his knife and followed Ye Luo step by step, staggering towards the backyard of "Wanmin Hall".

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and the content revolved around these points.

I have never seen this person before. Where did he come from?

This person looks scary. Who is he?

Ye Luo was not afraid at all. Could it be that his identity was not ordinary?

Did they have some grudge against each other that couldn't be brought to the surface, so they just hid themselves away and did the same thing?

Seeing the crowd making so much noise, Xiangling quickly tried to change the subject: "Everyone, there are only a few honeydew melons left today, so hurry up and buy more. There is a discount if you buy more. Ten pieces are half price!"

In the face of real discounts, those gossips didn't seem so important. The crowd rushed forward again and surrounded the stalls to grab things.

Xiangling glanced at the backyard with a worried look from time to time, and any slight movement would make her worried.

"Have tea!" Ye Luo poured hot tea for the young man and raised the cup respectfully.

The young man raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Luo with a listless look. He did not make any impolite gesture, but raised his glass in the same respectful manner.

"Ye Luo, I heard that you helped Liyue Port catch scammers and recover the money that was defrauded from the people." said the young man.

Ye Luo smiled and said, "You know so many things about me, but I don't even know your name."

"You can call me 'Earth Robbery'..."

Ye Luo almost choked: "Brother, your name is quite ominous..."

Earth Robbery sneered, "Not just you, many people say so..."

"You came here in such a threatening manner, you definitely didn't come here to have a casual chat with me, but I have just arrived in Liyue Harbor not long ago, and I don't think I have offended anyone in any way. Why don't you just speak frankly?"

Ye Luoyun smiled calmly, raised his cup and took a sip: "Could it be that you are in cahoots with those scammers?"

"Di Jie" placed the knife on the table and stared at Ye Luo intently. Ye Luo met his gaze, and the two of them stared at each other, neither saying a word nor moving.

Ye Luo looked calm on the surface, but his heart was like a horse galloping wildly on the prairie and he was about to give up.

"Damn it! I guess I'm right. If he really comes here for revenge, how can I, a lone man, possibly be his opponent?"

"How about I get him drunk? But we're drinking tea..."

"Damn it, there's no helper around at a time like this, even a wrench would be helpful..."

Before Ye Luo could speak, Earth Robbery spoke first: "Ye Luo, you are really different from all the businessmen I have ever met!"

Ye Luo pursed his lips: "I am not a businessman. If you insist, I am a farmer who works hard with my own hands, works diligently on the land, and lives a down-to-earth life!"

Earth Robbery said bluntly: "Since you are not a merchant, why are you so aggressive towards other merchants in Liyue Harbor, leaving them with nowhere to go?"

Ye Luo was confused and pointed at himself: "Ah? Me?"

"You have recently received a huge fortune, but other merchants in Liyue Harbor have not been open for business for some time. It is impossible that you are completely unaware of this."

After hearing this, Ye Luo roughly guessed the purpose of "Earth Tribulation" and his anxious heart relaxed a little.

"Brother Dijie, I need to explain myself well about this matter."

"You don't think I'm monopolizing or destroying the market, do you?"

Looking at Ye Luo's grinning face, Earth Robbery showed an amusing expression: "Oh? Isn't it?"

Ye Luo's ideas are clear and well-reasoned.

"First, honeydew melon has never appeared in Liyue Harbor. I created it and created value with it. This is my own ability. Is that okay?"

"Second, the things I sell are different from those sold in other shops. Our businesses do not interfere with each other. There is no such thing as competing for customers. Is that okay?"

"Third, the things I sell are mainly sold at reasonable and legal prices with small profits and quick turnover. I neither deliberately mark them up nor deliberately lower them, so how can I say that I am destroying the market?"

"Finally, if other shops in Liyue Harbor are willing to discuss cooperation with me, I am very willing to share the results of my creation. After all, I won't sell melons forever. I have more things to do than this."

After listening to Ye Luo's story, "Earth Tribulation" fell into a long silence.

There was nothing wrong with what Ye Luo said. Whether in terms of his heart or deeds, Ye Luo had never had any monopoly ideas or practices. It was his own misunderstanding.

So what exactly went wrong? Why did all the other shops close down just because of Ye Luo’s sudden appearance?

The result is obvious. Since the problem is not with Ye Luo, it must be with other shops.

After figuring out the situation, "Dijie" covered his head, looking drowsy.

Ye Luo stood up and patted him: "Di Jie, you don't look very well, do you want to go to "Bu Bu Lu" to have a look?"

“No need!” Earth Robbery waved his hand and refused: “Compared to this, I would rather invite you to visit another place.”

"Invitation?" Ye Luo was puzzled.

"Yes, I invite you. You can also bring your friends along. The girl who is setting up the stall with you at the door should be a cook. It would be great to bring her along."

Ye Luo said jokingly, "What kind of place is it that requires a special cook? Is it because your main business is to run a restaurant that you hate monopoly so much?"

"Earth Tribulation" was silent for a while again.

Ye Luo raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes wide in shock: "Isn't it possible that I was right again..."

"You're half right. I don't run a restaurant, but the matter I want to talk to you about is indeed related to monopoly..."

"But why are you looking for me?"

[Earth Robbery] stood up, turned his back to Ye Luo and walked away: "Because in my heart, you are already a trustworthy person, that's it."
