"I indeed have that in mind."
Li Yanfei readily admitted, then laughed, "Honestly speaking, I came here to lay low this time and didn't have a specific goal. I didn't know what to do. Besides, bro, you seem eminently talented, certainly a dragon among men, so I wanted to make friends with you."
Pausing for a moment, he jestingly said, "Brother, rest assured, I won't charge a guide fee."
"Brother Yanfei, you flatter me."
Li Zhongnan humbly laughed, and then said, "In that case, may I trouble you?"
This was his first time here, and the location of the Tianyuan Stones was a remote mountainous area, quite a distance from here, so he really needed a guide.
All in all, it was about being homesick. After all, Li Yanfei was from the same place, that's definitely better than hiring a foreigner. Also, there's no denying, the flattery from him did feel good.
As for whether this fellow had any ulterior motives, he didn't bother guessing.
