"That's … good!"
Ye Xiaoliang couldn't help but laugh. But he wasn't stingy and said directly, "The Ten Superpowers in the North Region are the Raging Dragon Diagram, Langya Mountain, Saint Hall, Heavenly Wood Cliff, Book Lake, 13th House, Mapo Sect, Great Spring Empire, Underworld Sect, and Tianshan Sword Tomb."
"How powerful are the Ten Superpowers?"
After hearing Ye Xiaoliang's introduction, Lin Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.
"Among the Ten Superpowers, the top three are on par with each other, and they are all very powerful!
The Six Superpowers at the bottom are roughly in the same order as I said. The Tianshan Sword Tomb is a special case. Only one disciple comes down the mountain every ten years, so it's impossible to accurately judge their strength! "
Ye Xiaoliang was generous and didn't beat around the bush. He said directly to Lin Xiao, "In addition, the Great Spring Empire is also very special. It's the only national power among the Ten Superpowers, and it's also the largest empire in the Central Territory of the North Region.
In the Ten Superpowers, there are at least masters in the Heaven Celestial Stage! "
At least in the Heaven Celestial Stage!
In other words, it was very likely that there were masters in the Golden Celestial Stage!
It seemed that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to unify the North Region and complete the System's Side Task. The Ten Superpowers alone were enough to make him suffer!
Just as Lin Xiao was deep in thought, Ye Xiaoliang clapped his hands, and a maidservant walked in with an exquisite brocade box.
"The details of the Ten Superpowers are in the brocade box!" Ye Xiaoliang pushed the brocade box in front of Lin Xiao and said with a smile.
"Also free of charge?"
Lin Xiao was a little surprised. Ye Xiaoliang seemed to be a little too generous. The information just now was not important, but the information in the brocade box was valuable!
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoliang nodded and said with a smile, "If Brother Lin can help me solve a problem, not only will this information be free of charge, but all the information received by my branch will also be available to Brother Lin for free!"
So good?
All for free!
This was a branch of the Nine Divisions, which had extremely high authority. If all the information could be free, then he would make a big profit!
However, he didn't know what the Hall Master of the Nine Points Hall wanted him to help with. It couldn't be that he wanted him to help open the passageway to the ninth level again, right?
Just as Lin Xiao was puzzled, the system beep sounded, "Ding!
[Congratulations, Host, for triggering a side mission: Nine Grades Hall's Request!]
Mission details: Host can receive a mysterious reward for helping the Nine Divisions solve their problems! "
Eh?
He even triggered a mission!
It looked like he had no choice but to help!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao curled his lips and pretended to be calm as he said, "Hall Master Ye, feel free to speak."
"Alright, I'll be frank!
Brother Lin, you've already seen the old gatekeeper today. He's always taking advantage of his seniority and doesn't even put me, the Hall Master, in his eyes! "
Ye Xiaoliang squeezed the teacup with a disgusted expression on his face. "If it weren't for Brother Lin, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to punish him!"
"He's just a gatekeeper. Why is it so difficult to deal with him?"
From Ye Xiaoliang's tone, Lin Xiao could tell that there was something going on. Combined with the harsh words that the old gatekeeper said when he was chased out of the Nine Grades Hall, it was enough to tell that there was a power struggle within the Nine Grades Hall. However, since Ye Xiaoliang didn't say it out loud, Lin Xiao didn't want to expose it either.
"The Nine Grades Hall is the biggest intelligence organization. Even the Ten Great Forces don't have as many branches as the Nine Grades Hall. With so many branches, it's inevitable that there will be some problems."
Ye Xiaoliang sighed and continued, "To be honest, the Nine Grades Hall's internal conflicts are very sharp and complicated. Even if I'm the Hall Master of the Nine Grades Hall, I still have my difficulties!"
"This … Hall Master Ye wants me to help you unify the Nine Grades Hall?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but rub his nose and said honestly, "Forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid I really can't help you with this!"
"Of course not."
Ye Xiaoliang couldn't help but laugh as he shook his head. He smiled bitterly and said, "In the Nine Grades Hall, there are a total of nine elders who discuss matters together.
In the past, it was always the elders who held high positions. However, in recent years, the Hall has been replaced by the old and the new. Many of the elders have been replaced by young people, and this has made many of the elders unhappy. "
When he said this, Ye Xiaoliang couldn't help but sigh. "These elders have gathered a group of elders in the Hall to make things difficult for the younger generation in charge of the Nine Grades Hall. I'm one of them.
Although I'm the Hall Master, that old gatekeeper is an elder in the Hall. If we act rashly against him, I'm afraid the elders in the Nine Grades Hall will be disappointed. More importantly, we'll incur the anger of the elders! "
"Elders?"
Lin Xiao immediately grasped the root of the problem and said sharply, "If that's the case, the Nine Grades Hall still needs to cut the Gordian knot and control these elders!"
"Exactly!"
Ye Xiaoliang looked at Lin Xiao with admiration and continued, "It's just that it's not convenient for anyone in the Hall to act against these elders. Because once we act, it will disappoint the disciples in the other Halls.
Therefore, I need Brother Lin to help me get rid of these culprits! "
So that's how it is!
Lin Xiao finally understood Ye Xiaoliang's intention.
Since he had offended the old gatekeeper, these elders in the Nine Grades Hall wouldn't let him off easily. Since that was the case, he might as well act first and gain the upper hand!
When he thought of this, Lin Xiao calmly nodded. "Okay."
"Okay?"
Ye Xiaoliang's hand, which had just picked up the teacup, couldn't help but pause. He almost spilled the premium tea as he looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.
As a businessman, Ye Xiaoliang had long been used to bargaining. However, he didn't expect Lin Xiao to not play by the rules and directly agree!
Ye Xiaoliang, who had regained his senses, tried his best to hide his awkwardness. He smiled at Lin Xiao and said, "Brother Lin is really a straightforward person!
Since that's the case, then we have reached a consensus? "
"Yes."
Lin Xiao nodded.
Of course, he knew that the brocade box that Ye Xiaoliang gave was not the final price. If he continued to bargain, he would definitely be able to gain more benefits.
However, since he had decided to form a relationship with the Nine Grades Hall, giving up some benefits would instead make Ye Xiaoliang trust him more.
The benefits of a small stream flowing in the long run might be more than the current benefits!
"Straightforward!"
Seeing Lin Xiao nod his head with certainty again, Ye Xiaoliang's eyes flashed with admiration.
When the servant girl beside her saw Ye Xiaoliang's expression, she couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao in surprise. How did this young master make the Hall Master admire him so much?
These servants who had been serving by her side for a long time naturally knew what kind of personality her Hall Master had. That was a smiling face to everyone, but under that smiling face hid a calm heart that no one could guess.
But now, his expression was written all over his face.
In fact, Ye Xiaoliang hadn't dealt with someone as straightforward as Lin Xiao for a long time. He couldn't help but think of his past life.
