Xiaoyao Hou did not hesitate for too long. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will entrust you to negotiate with Shao Yuan. Xia Houying is not a problem. You can also give him some of the family's treasures. As long as he needs it.
Resources, our Xiahou family can try our best to satisfy him!"
It has to be said that at this point, Xiaoyaohou has no other choice. If he sacrifices some interests, he can get Shao Yuan's mercy, and Xiaoyaohou doesn't mind doing this.
Although, he hated Shao Yuan so much that he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
However, now is the time to be rational, not the time to act emotionally.
As the first-class force in the Eternal Divine Kingdom, the Xiahou family's resources and heritage are still very amazing. Therefore, the Xiahou family is also very wealthy.
The elder received the permission from Xiaoyao Hou and looked very happy: "Master Hou, please rest assured that my subordinate will fulfill his mission and bring back good news."
"If you can accomplish this feat, I will reward you in the future and you will be credited with a great contribution." Xiaoyao Hou also agreed.
The elder immediately took the order and went.
Not long after, this elder came to the area where Jiang Chen was. After a period of wreaking havoc, the sacred bird Suzaku also took a break.
After a period of rampage by the Suzaku divine bird, the entire Xiahou family's castle was riddled with holes. Although it was not completely destroyed, its vitality was obviously damaged.
"Huhu, Master Chen, this Xiahou family is really amazing. With my magical power and momentum, I still can't destroy the outer defense of the Xiahou family's castle. I can only do some damage. To completely break through the Xiahou family's
The castle must be built by everyone working together."
The sacred bird Zhuque rarely praises people, but this time, he really praised the Xiahou family.
Jiang Chen smiled softly: "The Xiahou family has been able to get to this point and almost succeeded in rebelling. This is enough to prove that the Xiahou family's background is definitely not bad."
"Yes, but compared to the Eternal Holy Land, the temperament is still a little inferior. The Xiahou family is still a little inferior after all."
While he was talking, Jiang Chen's consciousness moved, and he discovered that a figure had sneaked into the area he was responsible for under the dense defense.
"Brother Suzaku, I'd like to trouble you again and go get that guy."
In the blink of an eye, the red bird divine bird caught the man in his hand and brought him to Jiang Chen.
"Your Excellency Shao Yuan, I have a secret order from the Marquis, and I am here to ask for an audience with Young Master Shao Yuan."
"Master Hou? Xiaoyao Hou?" Jiang Chen was slightly startled. What could he have to talk about with Xiaoyao Hou, the patriarch of the Xiahou family?
"Master Shao Yuan, please listen to me. The head of my family admires your talent and cultivation very much. He asked me to dedicate Xiahou Ying to Master Shao Yuan. In addition, my Xiahou family is also willing to affix
A fortune, a deal with Mr. Shao Yuan."
"What deal?" Jiang Chen asked with a half-smile.
"As long as Mr. Shao Yuan can prevent Senior Zhuque from taking action and give my Xiahou family a way out, my family head is willing to hand over the family's treasures."
"Tsk, tsk, when did the Xiahou family become so generous?" Jiang Chen sighed.
"It's not that the Xiahou family is generous, but that my Lord Marquis is very sensible. He also knows that once the Xiahou family is defeated, these things will belong to the Eternal Holy Land sooner or later. Rather than getting the Eternal Holy Land for free then, it is better to use it with the Young Master.
You make a deal and buy it conveniently."
Jiang Chen smiled, but for a moment he was noncommittal.
The elder said calmly: "Master Shao Yuan, you are a casual cultivator yourself, and you are not a direct descendant of the Eternal Holy Land. With your talent, you must not be coveting the inheritance of the Holy Land. Besides, he has no influence on the Eternal Holy Land.
Can I really trust you, a foreigner, 100% and unreservedly? Will I hand over the position of successor to the Eternal Holy Land to you in the future?"
"People always have to plan for themselves. Master Shao Yuan has repeatedly made great contributions to the Eternal Holy Land. What has the Eternal Holy Land done to Master Shao Yuan?"
This elder of the Xiahou family is indeed very eloquent. Every sentence seems to be able to grasp the key points and hit sensitive areas.
If Jiang Chen is an ordinary genius and is persuaded by these words, even if there is no obvious change in his heart, there will be a little calculation.
However, Jiang Chen is the most unusual one?
After all this persuasion, Jiang Chen not only didn't feel moved, but instead regarded it as a joke and stared at the elder with interest.
"My Xiahou family and I have repeatedly ruined your good deeds. Don't you, Xiaoyaohou, remember to hate me?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Mr. Shao Yuan, in the entire Eternal Divine Kingdom, the only one who can cause trouble to the Eternal Holy Land is our Xiahou family. If the Xiahou family is destroyed and the Eternal Holy Land is unified, their posture will...
It will definitely change again. Are you sure, Mr. Shao, that you will definitely be the most valued young genius in the Eternal Holy Land? Will the best resources of the Eternal Holy Land definitely fall on your head?"
"What a man who has no permanent enemies. It seems that the sincerity of your Xiahou family this time is really sufficient."
"That's right, our Xiahou family is absolutely sincere. As long as Master Shao Yuan speaks, our Xiahou family will give you whatever you want."
"Really?" Jiang Chen smiled, "If I want Xiaoyao Hou's head, will you give it to me?"
The smile on the elder's face suddenly froze, his pupils shrank sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Shao Yuan, why are you doing this?"
"Why do you think it's necessary?" Jiang Chen asked calmly.
"You have done everything you should and shouldn't do to contribute to the Eternal Holy Land. At this time, shouldn't you make some choices for your own selfishness? Are you willing to help the Holy Land conquer the Xiahou Family, and then all the Xiahou Family?
All the treasures will be confiscated? Are you not willing to gain some benefits for yourself?"
"Haha, I will fight for the benefits I need by my own means. You go back and tell Xiaoyao Hou that no matter whether it is coercion or inducement, it is all nothing to me."
"Master Shao Yuan..."
Jiang Chen's face darkened: "That's all! This time, I'll spare your life, go back quickly, and tell Xiaoyaohou that the Xiahou family's things are temporarily stored in the Xiahou family. When you turn around, I will go get them myself, without any need for his attentiveness."
See you off."
Jiang Chen has absolutely no basis for reconciliation with the Xiahou family. It is absolutely impossible for Jiang Chen to let go of the Xiahou family.
Seeing Chen's resolute attitude, the elder sighed and left in despair.
Not long after the Xiahou family's envoy left, someone from the Eternal Holy Land arrived.
Obviously, although the Xiahou family patriarch is secretive, he still cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Holy Land.
"Master Shao Yuan, by order of the Great Holy Lord, I have come to invite Master Shao Yuan to discuss important matters."
Jiang Chen chuckled, but knew that at this time, there must be no suspicion inside, so he nodded immediately: "Let's go."
Sure enough, the Great Holy Master already knew about the Xiahou family patriarch's private visit to Jiang Chen.
Hearing Jiang Chen take the initiative to talk about this matter, the Great Holy Master was also quite surprised, but then the Great Holy Master sighed: "The Xiahou family is dying, but they still want to use this method to sow discord between you and me. Shao Yuan
, I have absolute trust in you. If you would have accepted the goodwill of the Xiahou family, you would not have joined the Holy Land back then. I am definitely not calling you here to interrogate you, but to protect you."
"Protect?" Jiang Chen was a little confused.
"You have been so popular recently and have become a symbol of the Holy Land. At the same time, the enemies will also regard you as a thorn in their side. The elder of the Xiahou family paid a private visit to you alone and seemed to be making a deal with you. Isn't this a ploy to sow discord? Maybe they
I have known for a long time that I cannot bribe you, but I can take the opportunity to discredit you, make the Holy Land suspicious of you, and make others suspicious of you. As long as there are rifts between us and we cannot unite, it will be an opportunity for the Xiahou family."
When the Great Holy Lord explained this, Jiang Chen looked thoughtful.
"Great Holy Lord, please be at ease. Even if the Xiahou family brings all their treasures and places them in front of me, I will not waver even a step. The Xiahou family and I are inseparable."
Hearing Jiang Chen's assurance and resolute tone, the Great Holy Master also let out a long sigh of relief. Although she said she would not be suspicious, she was still a little worried in her heart.
After all, this young man is so popular, and his time to join the Holy Land has only been so short. What if he is persuaded by the interests of the Xiahou family?
Obviously, this young man is much more determined than her Holy Master imagined.
Since people are so righteous, the Great Holy Master also feels that if he is too stingy, it will be a bit unjustifiable.
At that moment, he said with relief: "Shao Yuan, as long as the Xiahou family is defeated, you and the Suzaku divine bird will be the first to be credited. When the time comes, you can choose a part of the Xiahou family's treasury as your reward, how about it?"
Any words of comfort are not as direct as a reward. This kind of promise immediately made Jiang Chen's eyes light up. He knew exactly what it meant.
"The Great Holy Lord is so kind to me, so I, Shao Yuan, can't be more respectful than obey his orders."
If the Great Holy Lord made the promise personally, Jiang Chen would still believe it.
…
But it was the elder of the Xiahou family who returned to the family in despair.
Seeing that he returned empty-handed, Xiaoyao Hou knew that the negotiation was probably ruined.
"Master Hou, that boy Shao Yuan is just a smelly and hard manhole. He is not humane at all. I am ashamed of myself. I am incompetent."
Xiaoyao Hou smiled coldly: "That's all, if Shao Yuan is bribed so easily, I will look down on him even more."
"Master Hou, looking at Shao Yuan's attitude, it is obvious that he has a deep resentment towards our Xiahou family. This is an attitude that will not end until death."
"Huh! You don't need to remind me about this. Just back off." Xiaoyao Hou said in a somewhat unhappy tone.
