Li Zhao chuckled lightly, raised a finger in front of his face and said seriously:
"First of all, you have to understand that what we value is not you as a person, but the identity of the heir you have.
Whether this person is called Sun Yu or Zhang Yu, we don't care, you...understand?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu also laughed, and he immediately asked:
"But the problem is, the only one you can choose now is me as your heir, right?"
Li Zhao nodded seriously, and then sneered:
"Yes, even if that is the case, it is not enough reason for you to negotiate terms.
To tell you the truth, they are just black guards with feathers, and we don’t take them seriously.”
"Really?" Sun Yu asked expressionlessly:
"Then, may I ask, why did your highnesses invite me here?"
"We want to give you a chance, a chance to become a master."
Li Zhao stared into his eyes and said seriously.
"The Black Guard Presidential Leadership is nothing to us, but to you, it is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
If you rely solely on yourself, you will not be able to succeed in your next life, so you need my help."
His voice is low and seems to have a different kind of charm that can make people fall deeply into it.
However, Sun Yu didn't seem to hear anything. He shook his head and said:
"No, the help I need most now is a large amount of Five Elements Stones for cultivation, but unfortunately, you can't seem to help me."
"Haha, Five Elements Stone?"
The seventh prince Li Tianran flicked his folding fan and immediately laughed:
"It's just the Five Element Stones. When you become the President of the Black Guards, will you still lack these? Just send some Black Guards to the Jedi to collect them."
"oh?"
Sun Yu's eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"How long will it take for you to make me the leader?"
"How long...you kid, stop dreaming!"
Li Tianran put away his fan and said angrily:
"I can only keep you as the heir. Do you want to become the Black Guard President?
At least I can get the Sky-Breaking Realm, but I think based on your words, it will take at least a hundred years, right?"
a hundred years?
Sun Yu had no expression on his face, but he sneered in his heart.
"How about it, think about it carefully, you won't lose anything."
The second prince Li Zhao said again.
However, Sun Yu didn't think much and shook his head directly:
"Without the Five Elements Stone, there would be nothing to talk about."
The princes were obviously stunned. They didn't expect that after talking so much, this boy hadn't understood the key yet.
"Don't you understand yet?" Li Zhao frowned and said immediately:
"Without our help, let alone becoming the leader of the Black Guards, you will lose your identity as the heir at any time, and you may even die in the fight!"
Sun Yu still shook his head.
"It seems that you still don't understand."
Li Zhao sighed, but an invisible cold light flashed in his eyes.
Sun Yu's heart suddenly moved.
That was the effect of his enhanced true intention to kill.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a killing intent coming from Li Zhao.
"Do you really want to stop thinking about it? You have to know that disobeying a prince in Jingzhou will not end well."
Li Zhao's voice was slightly gloomy.
Sun Yu glanced at him calmly:
"So, His Highness has convinced me?"
"It doesn't matter what you eat or not. I just want to win-win with you. We each get what we need, right?"
Li Zhao had a faint smile on his face, but anyone could see how fake his smile was.
"well."
Sun Yu sighed softly. If the other party refuses to give him what he wants, how can he say that everyone gets what he needs?
He shook his head:
"If that's the case, then we have nothing to say."
Sun Yu stopped caring about Li Zhao, turned to look at the other princes and asked:
"Seventh Prince, what do you guys say?"
"What should I say? Sorry, you think too highly of yourself." The seventh prince Li Tianran smiled coldly:
"If it were Zhang Huaquan or Zhao Yuan, I could accept it, but you...heh, it's not enough to make me pay such a price."
Hearing him call out the names of the other two heirs, Sun Yu thought there might be something interesting, so he grinned and said:
"I can make it cheaper, how about 2,000 Five Elements Stones a month?
This is already the lowest price, trust me, you won’t regret it.”
He really lacks the Five Elements Stone, so he is really discussing with these princes.
However.
"I believe you are the one who really regrets it."
Li Tianran snorted coldly, turned his head away, shook his fan and stopped talking.
"Everyone..."
After another conversation broke down, Sun Yu looked at the other people present.
But before he finished speaking, he realized that everyone either didn't look at him, or looked at him with a mocking look, as if they were looking at a fool.
"that's too regretful."
Sun Yu curled his lips.
He knew that this banquet was completely over.
"In that case, Your Highnesses, I will take my leave first."
There was no need to stay long if they couldn't reach an agreement, so Sun Yu took the initiative to get up and leave.
As soon as he walked to the door, Li Zhao's voice sounded again:
"You have to think clearly. Once you get out of this door, you will never have another chance."
"I think I've made it very clear." Sun Yu held the door handle with one hand without looking back.
"Yeah?"
Li Zhao sneered:
"So, what you will face in the future will not only be the challenges of those successors, but also us. Are you...sure you can bear it?"
"It's time for Your Highness to worry."
Sun Yu opened the door and walked away.
The ideas of these princes cannot be said to be wrong.
If it were another person who had just entered Jingzhou and had no background, he might be eager to agree to them.
But it is a pity that Sun Yu is not an ordinary person, he has his own confidence.
Inherit the position of Duke Dingyuan, take charge of the Feather Black Guard, and become the president?
Sun Yu didn't think it was difficult.
Sooner or later, he will be able to catch up with those competitors of the Skybreaking Realm who are also heirs.
Therefore, these princes are simply dispensable to him.
If you really want to cooperate, you have to give him some actual benefits, such as the Five Elements Stone.
Furthermore, Sun Yu suspected that what the other party issued was probably a bad check.
With He Kaishan here, those young people who want to play tricks on him must think carefully about it.
After all, Yan Kai, who is sleeping underground, and the Crown Prince and Tutor Lu Qiguang, who paid a heavy price, are a good example.
…
"Huh, he's just a pariah slave. Why are you dragging him?"
Sun Yu had not gone far when the voice of the Seventeenth Prince Li Chi rang out.
He deliberately increased the volume for fear that the other party would not be able to hear.
However, Sun Yu had no intention of paying attention. He turned around and walked down the stairs, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
The second prince Li Zhao returned to his playful look, holding the wine glass and saying:
"It's just a Black Guard heir. If it's gone, it's gone. Anyway, Duke Dingyuan can't let go so soon. I'll wait for the next one."
"But I'm still unhappy." Li Chi said angrily:
"That kid has been so arrogant since he came in. My second brother asked him to punish himself with three drinks, which is considered a sign of respect for him, but he actually refused to drink."
The Seventh Prince Li Tianran suddenly smiled and said:
"In that case, why don't you send someone to teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful he is."
Li Chi immediately slapped the table and said:
"That's what I meant!"
Li Zhao glanced at Li Tianran with some displeasure, frowned and said:
"Don't go too far. Duke Dingyuan is very fond of these heirs. If you make him crazy, your father's face will not look good."
"Haha, I am sensible, that boy seems to be a first-grade true artistic conception, right?"
Li Chi lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then said with a sinister smile:
"However, since he is the person appointed by Duke Dingyuan himself, he must have some extraordinary qualities. Isn't it bullying him if I send a ninth-grade celestial being over?"
"Of course it doesn't count. Just beat him half to death. Don't kill anyone. Save yourself the trouble."
Li Tianran gently shook his folding fan with a gentle smile on his face, but the words he spoke chilled people to the core.
"Don't worry, the most I can do is have his limbs broken, no, five limbs! Hahaha!"
Li Chi's words made everyone laugh.
The second prince Li Zhao picked up his wine glass, looked at a slightly bloated young man not far away and said with a smile:
"Old Shiba, you can do it. You usually don't show off your skills. Why, this time you suddenly take action, and you are also interested in the Black Guard?"
"Well, a little, a little..."
The eighteenth prince's voice was timid, and he was obviously overwhelmed by the imposing manner of the second brother.
Li Chi laughed and said:
"Him? He has so much interest that he doesn't even know where to open the gate of Dingyuan Palace, right? It's probably his mother who asked him to come here."
When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
The eighteenth prince Li Tianjue obeyed his mother's advice. This was something that the entire palace knew.
Other princes, even two or three years younger than him, have already moved out of the palace and found their own place to live in the imperial city.
But this guy, because of a word from his mother, Concubine Li, still lives in the palace and has to go to pay her respects three times a day.
"You, don't talk nonsense, yes, I came here myself."
Li Tianjue's face turned red and he immediately defended himself.
Li Chi smiled playfully and asked:
"Really? Then you can tell me where to open the gate of Duke Dingyuan's Mansion in the imperial city?"
Li Tianjue immediately replied:
"If you sit north and face south, naturally drive south!"
"Still going south? Let me tell you, Dingyuan Palace is no longer in the imperial city at all!"
Li Chi said loudly, causing everyone to laugh again. He became even more proud and said disdainfully:
"You are the only one who deserves to get involved here? You should go and find your mother honestly!"
Li Tianjue, who couldn't defend himself, had a dark look on his face. Seeing everyone around him laughing without scruples, he had no choice but to stand up and force himself to smile:
"Yes, what Brother Seventeen said is true, then I will take the first step..."
"Hmph, let's go quickly. If it's too late, Concubine Li may come to arrest the person herself."
"Hahaha!"
Amidst the roar of laughter from everyone, Li Tianjue left quickly with a gloomy expression.
As soon as he arrived on the first floor of Tianle Pavilion, he suddenly found that Sun Yu, who had left a step earlier, was standing at the door...
Sun Yu has a headache now.
When he arrived, he was picked up by a horse-drawn carriage. At that time, he was busy simulating cultivation and didn't pay much attention to the road.
So, now there's a big problem. He's lost when he first arrived...
"It should be in that direction, right?"
Sun Yu recalled the direction the carriage came from before.
I plan to walk first and then talk about it. At worst, I can just grab someone on the way and ask.
But he didn't go far when he suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that the direction was wrong, but that Sun Yu found that there was suddenly a little tail behind him.
"Your Highness, can't you wait to teach me a lesson?"
Sun Yu turned around and said to the stalker who had half of his body exposed at the corner of the street and was obviously not very competent.
"It's not the second prince, it's me!"
The figure came out of the street corner with some stuttering.
Only then did Sun Yu realize that this young man was actually the eighteenth prince in Tianle Pavilion just now. He frowned and said:
"Your Highness Eighteenth? Why are you following me? Are you here to deal with me?"
"no no!"
Li Tianjue quickly waved his hands and said,
"I'm following you because I want to ask you..."
The eighteenth prince seemed a little shy, so Sun Yu said directly:
"What are you asking me for? Your Highness, just tell me."
"Well, I'm willing to give you the Five Elements Stone, but 2,000 is too expensive. I can't afford it. Can it be cheaper?"
"Oh?" Sun Yu smiled.
This is interesting. When he asked about it in Tianle Pavilion just now, this person lowered his head and said nothing.
As a result, now, he took the initiative to catch up again.
He looked at the other person and said:
"How much are you going to give me? Every month."
"Um……"
Li Tianjue stretched out one finger with some embarrassment, then after thinking about it, he stretched out the remaining four fingers and said tentatively:
"How about... five hundred?"
Sun Yu's face darkened. He finally figured out that the other person's finger just meant that he wanted to repay a hundred.
This is cutting directly from the ankle...
He immediately said:
"one thousand."
"This..." Li Tianjue scratched his head and felt extremely embarrassed.
He stood there and hesitated for a long time.
Sun Yu waited for so long that he became impatient, and when he was about to change his mind and agree, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay, a thousand is a thousand!"
"Don't worry, you won't regret it."
Sun Yu grinned.
Li Tianjue wiped the sweat from his head and muttered to himself:
"I have nothing to regret, it's just my mother's mission."
"What?" Sun Yu didn't hear clearly.
"No, it's nothing..."
Li Tianjue waved his hand quickly.
What Li Chi said is right.
He has no interest in Black Guards or Sun Yu.
It's just that her mother, Concubine Li, forced him to seize this opportunity to win over the newly confirmed successor to the Black Guard Commander.
In fact, when he arrived at Tianle Pavilion today, Li Tianjue had no hope for it.
After all, in front of those brothers, he didn't even have any room to resist.
But what I didn't expect was that in the end, they actually broke down!
And Sun Yu happened to not be far away, which gave him a good opportunity.
Although he himself was not interested, he did not want to disappoint his mother.
"By the way, do you know how to get to Dingyuan Palace?"
Sun Yu suddenly asked.
There is no need to use the tour guide that comes to your door.
"ah?"
The sweat on Li Tianjue's forehead started again.
If he had known where Duke Dingyuan's mansion was, he wouldn't have been laughed at by Li Chi and others just now.
"This, this...this, I don't know either..."
Sun Yu gave the other party a strange look.
This prince seems a little unreliable...
He was a foreigner who had just arrived, and he was able to get by without knowing the way.
But as the prince is a native and is the residence of Duke Dingyuan, a high-ranking official, he doesn't even know?
"Ahem, I rarely leave the palace on weekdays, so I'm not sure..."
Li Tianjue explained.
"Okay, then do you know where the gate of the imperial city is?"
Sun Yu had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing.
This imperial city is really too big, and the buildings on the left and right look similar. You don't know how long you have to go around just by yourself.
"I know this, but I can't explain it clearly. I'll take you there."
After hearing what Li Tianjue said, Sun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and followed him away.
Along the way, Li Tianjue remained silent and did not speak.
And Sun Yu is not a person who has nothing to say.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward. Fortunately, the journey was not too long.
Not long after, Sun Yu saw the gate of the imperial city.
When he got here, he knew how to go. Last time G and Lao Zhou walked there.
"Okay, let's stay here. I know the next way."
"That's good."
"Farewell."
"Farewell."
"By the way, don't forget to bring the Five Elements Stone tomorrow."
"good."
After a short but effective conversation, Sun Yu turned and left.
Before he left the imperial city, he suddenly heard Li Tianjue exclaiming from behind:
"Oops! Why is it so late! I have to go back quickly, otherwise my mother will get angry!"
"Mother?"
Sun Yu's expression became even weirder.
However, it doesn't matter, as long as the Five Elements Stone can be delivered tomorrow.
Although it was much less than he initially expected, it was still pretty good.
Moreover, this eighteenth prince seems to be relatively easy to communicate with...
