Chapter 84: Lord Tan, you seem very reluctant?

"Palace Master Tan's words are really disappointing. If I hadn't risked my life for you, how could you sit comfortably on the throne of the Palace Master of the Dan Palace? What awaits you should be the reckoning of Lingxia Island, right?"

Facing Tan Hongmian's complaint, Xiao Jingsheng couldn't help but sneer: "Or do you think that Master Lingye would be so naive as to keep a handle in your hands?"

Tan Hongmian's face turned pale and blue, and her plump breasts heaved, but she didn't know how to refute.

Seeing the other party's silence, Xiao Jingsheng crossed his arms and said bluntly: "Without you, I can still find a way to bring down Lingxia Island, and you should be glad that you ran into me. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to collect your body."

"You!" Tan Hongmian was furious, but she pointed at Xiao Jingsheng and was speechless.

Because she sadly discovered that everything was exactly as the other party said.

Given the attitude of Jade Gourd Master and the clan leader who wanted to protect each other, it was only a matter of time before they could bring down Lingxia Island. On the contrary, Tan Hongmian was an insignificant figure in the whole incident and only gave them a reason to take action.

What's more, Master Lingye himself is a spy from the Demon Sect, and this matter was identified from the very beginning.

If you don't cooperate, you will just become a sacrificed pawn.

Even though she understood it, she was still confused and caught up in the calculations of both parties, and she still felt aggrieved.

Even if he got the position of the Lord of the Dan Palace, it is still really cowardly!

Seeing that the other party seemed to have recognized the reality, Xiao Jingsheng also gradually slowed down his tone: "There is no free lunch in the world. I have only paid a little injury to get the throne of the master of the Dan Palace. I believe that if such a good thing is spread, someone will definitely fight for it. Master Tan should know this better than me, right?"

[Why explain so much to her? You should punish such an ignorant woman with your strongest means, make her kneel before you and cry bitterly, and realize her own ugliness! ]

Brother, when will you learn to be more reserved?

Don't punish people at every turn, without any connotation?

Xiao Jingsheng's head was covered with black lines.

But he was not talking nonsense. It was well known in the entire sect that the Dan Palace was the place with the most money. If people from other peaks wanted him to help them make pills, they had to bring their own herbs, and the minimum order was two portions.

If you succeed, the other part will be a tribute to the alchemist. If you fail, you can't blame me because alchemy doesn't have a 100% success rate.

Moreover, it doesn't mean that I will make pills for you just because you want me to do so. You have to queue up. If you want to cut in line, you will have to pay a tribute.

This is how the alchemists of the major sects became more and more noble.

It is conceivable how lucrative it would be if one could become the leader of this force.

If Xiao Jingsheng hadn't been able to upgrade his strategy faster than this thing, he would naturally not have let such an important position fall into the hands of others.

So, in a real sense, the other party should be grateful to him. He not only saved the other party's life, but also cleared all obstacles for him.

"If Lord Tan continues to show me a bad face, then I should consider whether I should report my work to the sect leader and re-evaluate whether Lord Tan is qualified for this job."

As he said this, Xiao Jingsheng made a troubled look, as if to say, Palace Master Tan, you don't want to lose this hard-earned opportunity, do you?

Tan Hongmian's expression changed again and again. After a long time, she finally let go of her pathetic pride and whispered, "I just said something wrong."

"Speak louder, I can't hear you."

Xiao Jingsheng drank heavily, not polite at all.

Tan Hongmian clenched her jade hands tightly, and the strong sense of humiliation made her whole body tremble uncontrollably. However, the more she stood in this position, the more she understood the value of this. She suppressed her sorrow and said, "I'm sorry!"

Xiao Jingsheng was still not satisfied, and said lightly: "Why do I feel that you, Palace Master Tan, seem very reluctant?"

"No." Tan Hongmian lowered her head in shame.

"Then how are you going to prove it to me?" Xiao Jingsheng gave a playful smile.

Tan Hongmian was startled and instinctively raised her head, just in time to meet the other party's unscrupulous gaze, which kept wandering over her body. The hot feeling seemed to burn her skin.

What does this guy want to do?

Tan Hongmian had some bad thoughts in her mind.

Xiao Jingsheng smiled without hesitation: "There are some things that I am still not comfortable leaving in the hands of outsiders. Only when they become my own people can I fully support the work of Palace Master Tan."

Tan Hongmian's pupils suddenly trembled and she looked at the other person in surprise.

After all, she was not an ignorant girl, so how could she not understand what the other party was hinting at?

But how can this be possible!

I am a family man.

However, Xiao Jingsheng had no intention of discussing with the other party, because this woman was too ignorant. He had not had such an idea before coming here, but now he has changed his mind.

He just waved his hand and a ban covered the entire inner hall, and at the same time the heavy door was closed.

He was fully aware of the mechanisms of the entire Dan Palace, and could even directly open the Dan Palace's isolation formation if he wanted to.

Bang!

With a dull thud, even Tan Hongmian herself couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing that she was still standing there in a daze, Xiao Jingsheng couldn't help but said coldly: "Why, do you still want me to treat you?"

As he spoke, Xiao Jingsheng had already turned the tables and sat directly on the palace master's throne, squinting his eyes comfortably.

On the other hand, the nails of Tan Hongmian's five fingers were deeply embedded in the palms of her hands, and she was waging a tense struggle in her heart.

She couldn't understand how a guy who used to only know how to flatter and curry favor could now grow to the point where even the sect master favored him.

But the current reality is telling her that if she doesn't obey, then she might have to give up the things she has always dreamed of.

Compared to the Pill King's unparalleled alchemy skills and control over the Pill Palace, there is indeed a big gap in his own control of the temperature.

It is far from being possible for him to resist the pressure from the leaders of the major peaks by himself, and it is inevitable that more people will be sent in later.

Rather than being alone in the future, perhaps he should really find a backer. At least this guy in front of him has an immeasurable relationship with Jade Gourd Master and even the sect master.

“Huh~”

After a long time, Tan Hongmian finally let out a sigh of relief. The resistance on her face gradually turned into nothingness, and she slowly walked towards Xiao Jingsheng.

But just as she was about to squat down, Xiao Jingsheng waved his hand to interrupt her: "Forget it, I changed my mind."

Tan Hongmian was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of relief flashed across her face.

But in the next second, Xiao Jingsheng said again: "The throne is not open, let's go over there."

Tan Hongmian was startled and looked in the direction the other person was looking. She saw a large stone desk with a lot of documents on it, which were left over from her official business.

This guy!

Tan Hongmian bit her teeth lightly, and a trace of visible shame and anger flashed across her cheek.

The other party actually wanted to humiliate her like this!

But as the gazes behind her became colder and colder, Tan Hongmian finally chose to bow to reality.

Under the other person's gaze, he slowly leaned on the stone table...
