"No, no, no. Even so, I won't agree. Even if Lady Xie could fight against an expert at the sixth stage of the Shadowwalker Realm, the enemy was still at the eighth stage of the Shadowwalker Realm. "With my strength, I can't make up for the difference between these two levels.”Shen Ao shook his head without thinking.
Was Shen Ao really going to reject Xie Qiuqiu's request?
Of course not!
However, the higher one's position was, the more substantial the reward would be.
Obviously, Xie Qiuqiu had seen through Shen Ao's plan.
Smart people talked about one thing, they would not expose each other's schemes. Shen Ao wanted to get more benefits from Xie Qiuqiu, and Xie Qiuqiu needed Shen Ao's help. Between the two, only mutual benefit could achieve a win-win situation. The so-called win-win situation meant that both parties would benefit equally and reach a balance.
"Alright, Young Hero Shen is a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush. If you are willing to help me with this, Young Hero Shen and your sect will be allies of White Emperor City in the future. If anyone wants to deal with Young Hero Shen, they must be the first to follow us to White Emperor City. How was it? You have to know that this promise of mine is not made casually.”
Hearing Xie Qiuqiu's offer, Shen Ao shook his head and said," It's nothing. Firstly, I believe that my sect does not need the protection of other factions. Furthermore, if Yang Tiehou died, he believed that the next Vice City Lord of Blackfire City would be someone from White Emperor City, right? In that case, taking such a huge risk and only getting a vague promise didn't seem worth it.”
"Alright then, I'll add one more condition. In the future, the Martial Cultivation College of Young Master Shen's sect can be developed at will in Blackfire City. Moreover, Shixiong will do his best to help Young Master Shen establish the academy.”
To be honest, Xie Qiuqiu's condition had hit Shen Ao's itch. After all, establishing an academy in Blackfire City was a must. Moreover, this was very important for the future development of the Cyan Phoenix Palace. However! From Xie Qiuqiu's perspective, she didn't know about this.
After all, Shen Ao had deliberately flattered himself. In Xie Qiuqiu's eyes, Azure Dragon Hall should be a very powerful sect. In that case, this bargaining chip would not be enough.
For example, he was short of 10,000 yuan to save his life. However, the other party didn't know that you were short of 10,000 yuan to save your life and thought that it was just an insignificant problem. Naturally, the reward that the other party desired would not be too high.
"My sect has decided to open a college to accept disciples, but I want to accept some outer disciples. No matter how well the academy develops in Blackfire City, it won't do me any good. In my opinion, how about Miss Xie change her condition?”Shen Ao stretched out a finger and shook it. He walked calmly in the room.
"Young hero Shen, what conditions do you want?"
"Give me the vacant position of Deputy City Lord of Blackfire City.”
"This is impossible!" Xie Qiuqiu said without hesitation.
Shen Ao quickly comforted her and slowly said," Miss Xie, don't be in a hurry. Let me finish my words slowly." " I know that the Eighteen Royal Cities are the territory of your five great factions. Similarly, if you obtain the position of Deputy City Lord Yang Tiehou of Blackfire City, White Emperor City's control over Blackfire City will be even more stable, right?”
"Young hero Shen, since you already know this, why do you still raise such excessive conditions?”
"Is it too much? I don't think so. First of all, Heroine Xie, you must know that if your father gives me the position of vice city lord, then White Emperor City and my sect will be allies. My sect needs the position of vice city lord to increase the influence of the sect. But similarly, from another point of view, could it be that the experts of my sect are useless to White Emperor City? For example, you want to kill some inconvenient targets. This, my sect can completely do it for you.”Shen Ao's words were basically just bragging. What kind of expert could the Cyan Phoenix Palace produce?
However, if Xie Qiuqiu agreed to his request, Shen Ao was confident that he could help her in the future. After all, he had the system. It was not difficult to nurture a few experts. The only thing he needed was time.
"That won't do either. The 18 imperial cities belong to the five great factions. The other four forces would not allow outsiders to occupy the position of Deputy City Lord of Blackfire City. In other words, even if we want to agree, we can't help you.”
"That's simple. White Emperor City can hire me to serve as White Emperor City's guardian. That way, won't I be one of White Emperor City's own? Wasn't this very common in all the sects?”Shen Ao said disapprovingly.
Xie Qiuqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Shen Ao's outrageous demand.
Xie Qiuqiu waved her hand and said helplessly,"Young Master Shen, you really have a big taste." After all, if one were to take up the position of White Emperor City's Guardian, one would be able to obtain great convenience and power. In this way, wouldn't you benefit from both sides?”
That was right. He had obtained the position of deputy city lord for no reason, and he had even obtained the position of consecrator of White Emperor City. It had to be known that no matter where White Emperor City's consecrators went, they were existences that caused people to revere them. Without true strength, it was not so easy to obtain this title.
"Hehe, then Heroine Xie can also come to my Azure Dragon Hall and take up an official position. Isn't that fair?”
"Oh? Then, what conditions can Young Master Shen offer?”Hearing Shen Ao's words, Xie Qiuqiu couldn't deny that she was tempted. The main thing was that she did not know the true strength of Shen Ao's sect. If she knew that there were only two or three big cats and kittens in Shen Ao's sect, she would definitely slap this guy to death.
"How about a guest elder spot? With this title, Miss Xie can assign my sect's disciples below the level of elders to do whatever they want.”Besides his master, the only other hairy elders of Cyan Phoenix Palace were his junior sisters.
"Guest Elder?" Shen Ao's offer was clearly beyond Xie Qiuqiu's expectations. In her opinion, the position of a guest elder was much more important than the position of the deputy city lord of Blackfire City.
"Can Young Master Shen make this decision?”Xie Qiuqiu expressed her doubts.
Shen Ao took out an Olympic gold medal from his pocket without any explanation. He had exchanged it for 1 point in the system. He then handed the gold medal to Xie Qiuqiu. Shen Ao wasn't afraid that Xie Qiuqiu would be able to recognize the Chinese characters. The languages of the two worlds were different. Well, but for something like a token, the more mysterious it was, the more real it was.
"I am the young master of the Azure Dragon Hall, so I still have the authority. This token is the Elder Token of my sect. This is the only one."
Xie Qiuqiu took the token from Shen Ao and sized it up. Although the token made of gold was a little tacky, it was undeniable that the carving of the token was extraordinary. It didn't look like it was made on a whim. Xie Qiuqiu was 80% convinced.
"Alright, I agree." Taking a deep breath, Xie Qiuqiu nodded as if she had made a big decision.
"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation.”Shen Ao smiled.
"I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with Young Master Shen.”Xie Qiuqiu was also full of smiles, but she quickly returned to her lazy look.
After Xie Qiuqiu left, Shen Ao's smile faded.
As expected, this woman was not as simple as she looked. Her silly and cute appearance was probably a disguise to hide her strength. Sometimes, it was necessary to wear a few different masks when traveling in the martial world. For example, if he was greedy and lustful, someone would target him. He would not use any more sinister and secretive methods. Perhaps, such a 'mask' could save his life at a critical moment.
"Husband, this woman is not simple.”While Shen Ao and Xie Qiuqiu were talking, Yazi, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Shen Ao nodded and said disapprovingly," No matter how cunning she is, she will still be fooled by me. Hehe, do you think that my Olympic gold medal is that easy to get?”
"Pfft, husband, you're too bad. Perhaps they really thought that it was the Elder Token of our sect.”Poison Island's Yazi laughed.
"Alright, let's discuss what we should do next. First of all, Yazi, I might need you to stay in Blackfire City for a while.”
"No problem, husband." Yazi nodded gently.
"Besides, isn't the sect ranking meeting in Ziyang County about to begin? Although the Cyan Phoenix Palace wasn't in a hurry to promote their sect, it wouldn't hurt to let Second Junior Sister see the world. En, let her go with Xiao Bufan and the others. Xiao Bufan and the others probably wouldn't dare to offend Second Junior Sister in the slightest.”
"Of course. Now, all of them know that you have a good relationship with Hero Xie. Even if I'm not afraid of offending you, I should at least take White Emperor City's attitude into consideration, right?”
"Hey, Shen Jun, you need to speak softly. There seems to be someone outside who is planning to eavesdrop.”At this moment, Geng Xizi, who was lying on the back of Poison Island's Yazi, suddenly said. Even though she and Yazi had only been together for a short while, because they were both Shen Ao's subordinate heroes, the two of them were already as close as sisters.
Of course, Geng Xizi and Shen Ao had a special relationship. Because it was directly drawn from the system, Geng Xizi's loyalty to Shen Ao was not as exaggerated as 80%, but it had reached 50%. Yes, it was the kind of thing that she would not resist if Shen Ao wanted to push her down.
Hearing Geng Xizi's sudden words. Shen Ao and Poison Island's Yazi were both shocked. Fortunately, there was a ghost like Xi Zi. Otherwise, their conversation would have been overheard.
