It had to be said that with the grudge between Lin Xiao and Fang Tian, it was already very rare for Fang Tian to be so respectful to him.
Of course, this was also related to identity.
In the past, Fang Tian was one of the heirs of the Dragon Shocking Portrait and might be the master of the Dragon Shocking Portrait in the future. Now, he was just a surrendered person who fled the battle. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to speak arrogantly to Lin Xiao like before.
However, even if Fang Tian's attitude was very respectful, Lin Xiao did not appreciate it. He just glanced at Fang Tian coldly and had no intention of responding to him at all.
Fang Tian gritted his teeth in anger at Lin Xiao's attitude, but he did not dare to show it. He could only move aside half of his body and continued, "Emperor of the Great Quan Dynasty, this is Lord Ouyang's messenger. He has something to say to you."
"Oh."
Lin Xiao nodded, glanced at Fang Tian, and said bluntly, "Since the messenger has something to say, why are you, a surrendered spineless person, here?"
"You!"
Fang Tian's face turned red when he heard Lin Xiao's words.
Just now, he had been speaking respectfully and humbly. He had been holding back a lot of anger in his heart. Now that Lin Xiao was mocking him like this, he simply could not hold it in.
However, he had to endure it even if he could not hold it in.
Fang Tian was very clear about his current situation. If he angered Lin Xiao and ruined this cooperation negotiation, his end would be very miserable.
Fortunately, at this moment, the man in black behind him walked up and interrupted Lin Xiao's words, "Emperor of the Great Quan Dynasty, I'm Li Nianyi, an elder of the Dragon Shocking Portrait. This time, I came here on the order of our Sect Master. I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty. Please give me some time, Your Majesty."
"Mm."
Seeing that the man in black's attitude was still respectful, Lin Xiao nodded faintly and said with a smile, "Elder Li should be looking for me at this time for something important. After all, we are still enemies now!"
"Enemy or not, that's not the same."
Li Nianyi looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "We already know about the cooperation between Your Majesty and Wang Beixuan. However, Your Majesty, do you know about Wang Beixuan's true identity?"
"True identity?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he glanced at Li Nianyi. When he saw Li Nianyi's smug expression, Lin Xiao could not help but shrug and smile slyly. "Isn't it just a little bit related to the Central Region?"
"You … How did you know?!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the smugness on Li Nianyi's face disappeared and was replaced by shock.
In his opinion, the North Region didn't have much information and it was impossible for them to know about the Central Region, let alone the relationship between Wang Beixuan and the Central Region.
Seeing Li Nianyi's shocked expression, Lin Xiao was very pleased. He spread out his hands and asked indifferently, "Is it strange that I know?
I know a lot more than that! "
This …
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Li Nianyi fell silent.
It seemed that the Emperor of the Great Quan Empire was more powerful than he had imagined. Frowning, Li Nianyi put on a bitter expression and asked, "Since the Emperor of the Great Quan Empire knows about Wang Beixuan's identity, why did he choose to cooperate with him to deal with the North Region?"
"Deal with the North Region?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said noncommittally, "Elder Li, is there a misunderstanding?
Wang Beixuan and I are working together to deal with the Dragon-Inducing Portrait, not the North Region!
Even if the Dragon-Inducing Portrait is the number one force in the North Region, you can't equate it with the North Region! "
"The Dragon-Inducing Portrait has always been protecting the interests of the North Region!
Now that you are working together with the Central Region to deal with the Dragon-Inducing Portrait, isn't that the same as dealing with the North Region? "
Li Nianyi obviously did not agree with Lin Xiao's words and was even a little angry. He pointed at Lin Xiao and said rudely, "Don't tell me that the Emperor of the Great Quan Empire is siding with the Central Region for his own selfish reasons!"
"Nonsense!"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he glanced at Li Nianyi and said rudely, "I have already made it very clear that I am working with Wang Beixuan to deal with the Dragon-Inducing Portrait. It has nothing to do with the North Region. Moreover, Wang Beixuan has promised to marry his granddaughter to me. As long as I destroy the Dragon-Inducing Portrait, I will be the new master of the North Region!"
"Impossible!"
When Li Nianyi heard this, he said in disbelief, "How could that old thing Wang Beixuan hand over the North Region to you so easily?"
In Li Nianyi's opinion, the Great Quan Empire was a force that could not be ignored. Originally, he wanted to use Wang Beixuan's identity to make Lin Xiao give up on the cooperation with Wang Beixuan. However, he did not expect that Lin Xiao had already known Wang Beixuan's true colors and did not seem to care, which put him in a difficult position.
Especially now that Lin Xiao had said that Wang Beixuan would use the entire North Region as a condition to make Lin Xiao agree to cooperate with him. What else could the Dragon-Inducing Portrait offer to move Lin Xiao?
When he saw Li Nianyi's expression, Lin Xiao said unhurriedly, "What's impossible about this? As long as I marry his granddaughter, we will be a family. Isn't it the same who is the master of the family?
Elder Li, don't you understand this simple logic? "
"Emperor of the Great Quan Empire, you are too naive!"
When he heard Lin Xiao's words, Li Nianyi did not give up and said, "Wang Beixuan is not as simple as he looks. If you cooperate with him, I am afraid that not even your bones will be left!"
"Oh?
Is that so? "
When Lin Xiao heard this, he shrugged indifferently and continued, "If I don't cooperate with Wang Beixuan, who else can I cooperate with?
Do you want me to cooperate with the Dragon-Inducing Portrait?
What can you give me then? "
"This …"
When Li Nianyi heard Lin Xiao's words, his eyes flashed with determination and he said, "I don't know what you want, Emperor of the Great Quan Empire. As long as the Dragon-Inducing Portrait has it, we can satisfy you!"
"Is that so?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What I want is very simple. I just need an Upper-Grade Immortal Grade weapon!"
In fact, Lin Xiao had said so much to Li Nianyi because he wanted to know the whereabouts of the four Fairy-Slaying Swords. After all, the system had given him a hint that the swords were in the Dragon-Inducing Portrait!
As expected, when Li Nianyi heard Lin Xiao's words, his eyes flickered and he said, "There are only a few Upper-Grade Immortal Grade weapons in the entire North Region. The Dragon-Inducing Portrait does have one, but this Immortal Sword is broken …"
"Broken?"
When he heard this, Lin Xiao was a little surprised. However, when he thought about it, since the system's reward was to repair the Immortal Sword, it meant that there was something wrong with the Immortal Sword.
Since the system could repair it, it did not matter if it was broken, as long as he could find it!
When he thought of this, Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued, "Elder Li, can you tell me more about this Immortal Grade weapon?"
