Zhu Yu Yan sighed inwardly, well aware that the person before her was correct.
Even if he were an ordinary man, she could easily manipulate him without resorting to the Heavenly Demon Sound, relying rely on her own allure.
However, the extraordinary man before her was an exception, a true pursuer of interest driven by pure rationality, with terrifyingly firm determination.
Having encountered countless characters in her life, and having been deceived by the Evil King Shi Zhixuan in her earlier years, Zhu Yu Yan had honed her experience in the Martial World to be exceptionally astute.
She knew that when dealing with profit-seekers like Jiang Dali, it was best to go straight to the point and offer sothing tempting. Anything else was just a waste of breath.
Assessing the situation, she gracefully stood up and nodded, saying, "Master Jiang, since both Wan Wan and I have ended up in such a plight and you have not yet resorted to violence, indeed, there is room for cooperation between my Yin Gui Sect and your Black Wind Village."
"But I am curious to know how ambitious you are, village chief?"
"If it’s limited to the conflicts within the Martial World, then our cooperation would indeed be a minor affair not worth ntioning at a grander scale. I might even be able to relax a bit."
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali squinted and smiled faintly. "It seems, Queen Yin, that you want to reveal my ambitions. And your Yin Gui Sect’s ambitions seem grand as well.
However, as the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So matters are still too distant, and I would rather not discuss them prematurely.
But as for the primitive accumulation of capital, that does not require grandiose and empty sches. I simply need your Sect’s assistance to take over so of the Green Forest territories in a few provinces in the future."
Queen Yin scoffed inwardly, noting that the young-looking Black Wind Village Chief was actually quite crafty, keeping his cards close to his chest, making it difficult to gauge his real intentions.
She imdiately responded, "Talking about taking over Green Forest territories in several provinces right from the start, Master Jiang, you are indeed ambitious. It seems we indeed have common topics to discuss. As for deeper cooperation, that will have to gradually develop over ti."
"That is also my thought."
Jiang Dali grinned, "As a gesture of your Sect’s sincerity, let Wan Wan stay by my side for now. I presu you have no objections, Queen Yin?"
Queen Yin scoffed at herself, "I am hardly in a position to protest. Please state the first goal you wish to achieve through our cooperation."
Jiang Dali chuckled lightly and quietly stated the first goal.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu Yan’s expression changed dramatically, and she deeply gazed at Jiang Dali, a radiant yet captivating smile blossoming on her face as she nodded in agreent.
"Master Jiang is truly exceptional. Your ability to strategize thodically, thinking several steps ahead, is indeed admirable!"
At this point, she had even changed the way she addressed herself, no longer using the royal "we". She truly regarded Jiang Dali as a respected adversary and partner.
This respect was not mainly due to Jiang Dali’s formidable strength but also due to his brilliant strategic acun.
Simultaneously.
In two different places, two different kinds of beautiful lodies suddenly appeared, silently spreading.
Inside Black Wind Village, the mont Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong heard the lodious flute sound, their faces changed, and they imdiately stood up.
"Why hasn’t Miss Shi left yet? She dares to co to the village at this ti," Kou Zhong exclaid in shock.
Xu Ziling replied gravely, "Fortunately, the flute sound is nearby and hasn’t spread far. It seems Miss Shi is here to find us. Stay in the village, I’ll et her right away and advise her to keep away from the village, away from the Black Wind Village Chief..."
Kou Zhong opened his mouth, "Hey... why is it always who has to keep watch?"
As he spoke, Xu Ziling had already dashed out, heading straight to where the flute sound had faded.
Elsewhere, inside the headquarters of Power Gang, Li Chenzhou heard the poignant flute sound, but his expression remained unchanged, his gaze turning towards Liu Sui Feng.
Liu Sui Feng said, "This flute sound must be from the maid Ah Bi who accompanies Mr. Murong. It is indeed quite enchanting."
Li Chenzhou spoke in a low voice, "The music is enchanting but sorrowful, so the words Mr. Murong spoke might not be pleasant either."
Liu Sui Feng’s eyes slightly saddened, "Indeed, he brought word that both Blue and White have died, struck down by the Black Wind Village Chief’s Mighty God Fist."
Li Chenzhou slowly clenched his fist, "In this world, apart from Emperor’s Divine Fist, there are few Iron Fists that could interest ."
"But Blue and White’s deaths might not necessarily have been at the hands of the Black Wind Village Chief," Liu Sui Feng suggested.
Li Chenzhou remained silent.
His silence ant he wanted Liu Sui Feng to continue speaking.
And Liu Sui Feng indeed knew his intentions and continued, "Mr. Murong appears upright and refined, but his intentions are as clear as Sima Zhao’s — well known to everyone. His journey here from afar isn’t likely just to seek your complint, Brother.
Moreover, he was the only witness to Blue and White’s deaths before he brought their frozen bodies all the way here, showing utmost care, probably more than he would have for his own father Murong Bo’s body if he were dead.
Such friendliness warrants more caution."
Li Chenzhou smiled faintly, "What can be seen from the bodies?"
"Ti!"
Liu Sui Feng smiled knowingly, "It shows the ti. Nothing speaks more convincingly than ti, because it changes everything without our permission.
Ti tells that compared to the mont before their deaths, there must have been changes in Blue and White."
Li Chenzhou chuckled, his eyes blazing, "No! My words are more effective than ti. Mr. Murong, using the changed bodies to hint that the Black Wind Village Chief is the murderer.
But I want to tell him that I, Li Chenzhou, never need others to teach my actions. If I decide to take action against the Black Wind Village, I will, and whoever intervenes, no matter their intentions, I will put them down."
With those words, Li Chenzhou gestured, "Bring him to see !"
Liu Sui Feng’s eyes flashed, and he sighed as he left the room.
He knew when Li Chenzhou said he would put soone down, that person was dood, even soone as well-known as Murong Fu.
But, in reality, when soone begins to beco famous, they are often unaware, just as they won’t know when their reputation starts to decline.
Murong Fu was clearly on the decline, yet he continued to ddle everywhere, this ti foolishly reaching out to Power Gang and voluntarily walking into Li Chenzhou’s territory, evidently asking for trouble...
