1347 I Originally Wanted to Refuse, But He Offered Too Much (1)
Zhou Shu looked at Lin Kelei and asked calmly, âWhat condition?â
Zhou Shuâs calmness made Lin Kelei a little uncertain.
He originally thought that since the ancestral land was facing the invasion of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, it would urgently need reinforcements. But now, Zhou Shu seemed too calm.
Could the remnants of the Heavenly Court have trump cards?
Yes!
Back then, when the Five Leaves Bloomed on One Flower, the ancestral land had already declined. Logically speaking, Nomological realm experts shouldnât have appeared.
But Zhou Shu wasnât weaker than him, and he was only an ordinary forger in the ancestral land.
He wondered how many more experts there were like him among the remnants of the Heavenly Court.
The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom might not be able to bring the pressure of destruction to them, Lin Kelei thought.
He was an extremely cautious person. Sometimes, it was easier to let his imagination run wild.
Now, if there were any clues, he would think of a whole lot of things.
As for whether the associations were right, it was hard to say.
âWe can cooperate, but I have to tell you first that our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom wonât send soldiers to help you on the surface,â Lin Kelei said. âIn other words, this matter is only between you and the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. It has nothing to do with our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. I have to be clear about this.â
Zhou Shu nodded. They wanted to lead the life of a whore but still wanted a monument put up to show their chastity[1]. It was understandable.
âLetâs talk about your condition first,â Zhou Shu said.
Lin Kelei pretended to be calm. âItâs very simple. Since itâs cooperation, it naturally has to be mutually beneficial.
âAfter defeating the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, apart from the fact that the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom will belong to our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, I also want a territory in the ancestral land.â
âImpossible,â Zhou Shu said firmly. âYou can have the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, but itâs impossible to give you territory in the ancestral land.â
Zhou Shu would never agree to ceding land.
âYou can think about it carefully.â Lin Kelei smiled. âIn any case, Iâm not in a hurry. Even if youâre destroyed by the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, it wonât be a loss to our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
âAt worst, we wonât get any benefits. But to you, it will be a calamity.
âBrother Zhou, you have to think about it carefully. Do you want to pay the price of a territory to protect your human race, or do you want to hug this ancestral land and perish together? Itâs up to you.â
After Lin Kelei thought this through, he immediately felt that the ball was back in his court.
Thatâs right. The Green Emperor had sent him here, but he hadnât said that he had to cooperate with the remnants of the Heavenly Court in the ancestral land.
Moreover, the Green Emperor had given him the right to make decisions on the spot.
This meant that whether he wanted to cooperate with the remnants in the ancestral land was all up to him, Lin Kelei!
Lin Kelei wasnât in a hurry. After all, he wasnât the one who was in danger.
âIn that caseâŠâ Zhou Shuâs expression didnât change. âBrother Lin, youâre a guest from afar. You should have a good tour here. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. Although our ancestral land is in chaos, we wonât neglect our esteemed guest. Farewell.â
With that, Zhou Shu turned around and left.
Lin Kelei: ââŠâ
What do you mean? Are we not going to talk about it anymore?
What do you mean I should have a good time?
Did I spend half a day traveling here for a tour?
If the price isnât right, you have to negotiate. If you donât, how can we continue?
Why did you flip the table while bargaining?
Lin Kelei said, âBrother Zhou, donât you want to know how big a territory I want?â
âNo,â Zhou Shu said bluntly. âEven if itâs just an inch of land, itâs still the land of us humans. I donât have the right or the right to give it to anyone.
âThereâs no room for discussion.â
Lin Kelei said unhappily, âYouâre not sincere at all.
âIf we cooperate, it will be our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom that defeats the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. You donât want to pay any price at all. You just want our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to fight to the death with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. How can there be such a good thing in the world?â
Lin Kelei said speechlessly, âSince itâs cooperation, you have to show your sincerity first.â
âItâs my sincerity that you are able to stand here safely,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âIf anyone else had barged into the ancestral land, Iâm afraid they would have been decapitated by now.â
âYouâŠâ Lin Kelei was really speechless. This was the first time someone had talked to him like this.
Threatening me, Lin Kelei?
Do you know who I, Lin Kelei, am?
No one in the five heavenly kingdoms would dare to speak to me like that!
Decapitate me? Even Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao wouldnât dare to be so arrogant.
âBrother Zhou, can you represent the ancestral land?â Lin Kelei said solemnly. âOr rather, can you represent your⊠Heavenly Court.â
Lin Kelei finally omitted the word âremnantsâ.
He had given Zhou Shu enough face. Otherwise, he would have said the word âremnantsâ long ago.
âOf course,â Zhou Shu said. âThe entire human race of the ancestral land is united. What I say can represent them. But I donât know if what you say can represent the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.â
âOf course,â Lin Kelei said. âOtherwise, I wouldnât have advised you to reconsider.
âIâm really leaving. When the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom attacks the ancestral land on a large scale, it will be too late for regrets.â
