Xia Hengzhou is not a person with a bad temper. On the contrary, Xia Hengzhou is very cultured and refined, always planning thoroughly before taking action.
But even now, even with Xia Hengzhou's good temper, he is finding it hard to hold back.
At this mont, Xia Hengzhou very much wants to shake his sleeves and leave.
If he leaves, where can he go? This is Xia Hengzhou's own territory, after all.
He must not get angry, must not get angry, or else he'll fall into Xu Fan's little trap! The world is so beautiful, yet I'm so irritable, it's not good, not good.
Xia Hengzhou desperately comforts himself in his heart, forcing himself to control his trembling hands.
He has to control himself, for even as astute as Xia Hengzhou is, he doubts if he can hold himself from confronting Xu Fan right now.
Xu Fan is a prodigy with unfathomable strength. Fighting him would only be self-destructive. Xu Fan might be eagerly waiting for a chance to beat him up.
Everything is part of Xu Fan's sche; he must be using this way to annoy him into conceding the most benefits. He has been through so many storms; how could he stumble because of Xu Fan?
Thinking of this, Xia Hengzhou's anger dissipates, turning into a deep sadness and indignation!
This Xu Fan, after all, is his son-in-law. How could he use such unscrupulous thods to achieve his goals? Even wanting to beat up his father-in-law?
It's simply less than a beast!
Hahaha!
Suppressing the sadness and indignation in his heart, Xia Hengzhou bursts into laughter.
Several people in black robes in the distance look at Xia Hengzhou enviously, believing Xia Hengzhou and Xu Fan must have reached a cooperation, so he's laughing proudly, as expected from Elder Xia, truly formidable! They remain unaware of the lancholy and endless resentnt in Xia Hengzhou's laughter.
"Xu, can you please stop?"
Xia Hengzhou almost grits his teeth to say this, for smart people often carry a touch of arrogance, and exceptional smart people like Xia Hengzhou are extrely proud in their areas of expertise.
However, today, he finds himself defeated and disgraced by Xu Fan's entanglent.
Seeing Xia Hengzhou conceding, Xu Fan finally feels relieved.
After all, Xia Hengzhou is Xia Xiaodie's father, his father-in-law, and it's hard to navigate these boundaries. Xu Fan cannot just rush up and beat Xia Hengzhou violently.
Being able to make Xia Hengzhou eat crow in this way, the resentnt Xu Fan felt towards Xia Hengzhou earlier due to Xia Xiaodie's matters dissipates quite a bit.
At this mont, Xu Fan suddenly looks at Xia Hengzhou with feigned surprise, "Oh, father-in-law, what are you talking about? We are family, why act so distant?"
Originally feeling a wave of sadness and resentnt, but his unyielding nature has been supporting Xia Hengzhou.
Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Xia Hengzhou finally can't hold on, pointing a trembling finger at Xu Fan, holding his chest with the other hand, nearly spitting blood in anger.
From the beginning, it's you who was being unreasonable, making beg, and now you're pretending to be innocent...
I've road the Jianghu for many years, yet have never t anyone as shaless as him!
Seeing Xia Hengzhou panting heavily, looking like he might faint at any mont, even Xu Fan can't help but click his tongue.
This father-in-law, isn't he supposed to be scheming and calculating? How is his ntal resilience so weak?
Just a few words, and the cunning old fox Xia Hengzhou finds himself thoroughly defeated…
The saying is indeed true: expert loneliness, as lonely as snow!
Despite being regarded highly by the Hidden chanism Pavilion, facing the lonely expert and terrifying Xu Fan, Xia Hengzhou now clutches his chest, forcing down the turmoil within, shakily opening his mouth, "Yes, you're right... Xu the thief… Xu boy, you're right, we are family..."
If he hadn't been incognito for decades, and Xia Xiaodie hadn't recognized him, Xia Hengzhou would have long since shaken his sleeves and gone to Jinling to bring his daughter back!
Just a couple of words from the thief Xu Fan almost made him explode on the spot! Constantly talking about family? In the five thousand years of Chinese culture, has there ever been a son-in-law like Xu Fan, working so hard to anger his father-in-law to death?
"Since we're family, no need for formalities, Xu boy, are we going to cooperate or not? Give a definitive answer!"
Xia Hengzhou has made up his mind that in the future when talking to Xu Fan, he will keep it simple, never elaborate, and say things in as few words as possible.
If he were to deliver a grand speech full of confidence only to be choked by a single sentence from Xu Fan... Xia Hengzhou never wants to experience that feeling a second ti!
Xu Fan smiles at Xia Hengzhou, lightly tapping his finger on the stone table, and after pondering for a mont, he slowly utters, "Cooperation is possible, but I have a prerequisite condition. If the Hidden chanism Pavilion doesn't agree, then there is no need for so-called cooperation."
The cooperation with the Hidden chanism Pavilion is indeed necessary.
The four Immortal Emperors have controlled the entire starry sky for a thousand years with multiple trump cards and imnse strength. Even if Xu Fan is confident, never underestimating the four Immortal Emperors, he cannot sit by and watch them grow stronger, as this is not the outco Xu Fan wishes to see.
Yet, before starting cooperation, Xu Fan must make the Hidden chanism Pavilion understand one thing: his side's strength is not as weak as they might think!
Indeed, Earth has limited resources, making it hard to support Li Long's recovery, but Xu Fan has Wu He!
Moreover, Xu Fan's support isn't just one Li Long, but ten Ferocious Beasts at the Immortal Emperor Level!
A thousand years ago, Li Long failed due to internal dissolution by the four Immortal Emperors, not a cri of incompetence. Now the ten Ferocious Beasts have appointed Xu Fan as the King of the Dragon Domain, obedient beyond asure!
In three years, or even less, Xu Fan is fully confident he can help Li Long and the others recover to Immortal Emperor strength! Once the ten Ferocious Beasts recover to Immortal Emperor strength, Xu Fan dares to confront the four Immortal Emperors head-on!
In other words, if the Hidden chanism Pavilion rely plans to use Li Long to attract the firepower of the four Immortal Emperors, then the so-called cooperation is unnecessary, for Xu Fan does not want his plans to be disrupted by an ally whose intentions are unclear!
After all, as Xia Hengzhou said, the primary target of the four Immortal Emperors at this mont is not Li Long but the Hidden chanism Pavilion!
Looking at Xu Fan, whose eyes sparkle with sharpness, Xia Hengzhou senses a bad feeling in his heart, but still asks, "What condition?"
Xu Fan articulates, "For cooperation, if it is re verbal cooperation, in the current situation, such cooperation is unnecessary. However, close cooperation must have a leading party…"
"In other words, for collaboration to proceed, the lead must be under my control!"
