Chris looked at Su Qing with a strange expression and a very odd look in his eyes.
Su Qing felt uncomfortable being stared at. She glanced around and, finding no one else, pulled him to a corner.
"You've finally gotten what you deserve!"
Chris spoke with a hint of melancholy, which made Su Qing's face turn black.
"You've misunderstood. I'm just enduring hardship and biding my time!"
Su Qing adopted a nonchalant expression: "Do you really think I was lured here because of the silver dragon's good looks?"
“Isn’t that right?” Chris retorted, looking at the black dragon as he watched how it would try to argue its way out.
"Of course not!"
Su Qing retorted righteously and sternly: "Whether in terms of strength or other aspects, the Lily Territory far surpasses us. I infiltrated the Lily Territory in order to dismantle them from within."
Chris stared at him expressionlessly, his face repeating only six words: "Do you think I would believe that?"
Su Qing pursed her lips and said nothing: "While I'm away, you just need to manage Hope City well."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two parted ways.
Chris came in to inquire about the black dragon, but now that it seems to be doing quite well, he's not too concerned anymore.
Upon returning to the castle, there were already more than a dozen people standing inside, their auras faintly discernible, all of them being Glory-level beings.
Ariel had already relayed Su Qing's suggestion to someone. Upon hearing this, the three senior stewards exchanged glances, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
"This plan is feasible!"
The bald old man who spoke said, "We need to face the encirclement and suppression of the Central Army, and the other three families will be no exception. It's just that the pressure will be greater or less. Now that we are putting pressure on them, they will be the ones who want to take the initiative to seek an alliance."
Another elderly man nodded. He was robust and had long, light-gold hair that was loosely draped over his shoulders. "However, we need to send someone else. I wonder who we should send?"
Relatively speaking, this mission is quite arduous. After all, strictly speaking, this is a threat, and if those two forces are accidentally provoked, there is a risk to life.
We must send someone with great strength, and someone who is also eloquent.
Ariel's gaze swept around and landed on Su Qing.
Su Qing noticed the gaze and was taken aback. What did that look mean?
I was tricked into coming here by you guys. Do you really think this woman would let him go without worry?
And he didn't even reveal his own strength, so why did this woman let him go so easily?
A thought flashed through his mind, but then he saw Ariel speak up: "Second Grandfather, why don't you go with this black dragon?"
"He proposed this plan, so let this black dragon do it. If it doesn't do well, we'll stew it when it comes back!"
The woman sitting above spoke with a playful tone, and Su Qing felt that her words sounded somewhat familiar.
"If you don't do well, I'll eat you up." It sounds like something I often say to others, but now that someone else is saying it to me, it's a bittersweet feeling.
The burly old man nodded, flicked his long, light golden hair, and looked at Su Qing with his tiger-like eyes: "Little lizard, this time I need you to come with me. Don't disappoint the lord."
As the old man spoke, his aura emerged, revealing him to be a glorious peak being.
Threatened, a blatant threat. Su Qing felt extremely wronged. He had never been treated like this before. He was determined to quit.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will certainly handle this matter perfectly."
"Let's go then!"
The burly old man acted swiftly and decisively, preparing to set off immediately.
Helpless, Su Qing followed the old man away from the castle.
The old man summoned his mount, a fierce tiger engulfed in red, yellow, and blue flames. With a roar, it leaped out, its imposing presence and terrifying aura overwhelming.
This tiger alone is a Glory-level magical beast, and its grade is quite high.
The burly old man flipped onto the tiger and turned to look at Su Qing.
Su Qing grew slightly larger, flapping its wings and following closely behind the old man.
As the man and the dragon set off, Su Qing's mindset was somewhat complicated. He began to understand the thoughts of some of the people who usually traveled with him.
Having an incredibly powerful being by your side, but this being isn't on your side, will make you feel noticeably insecure.
With a sigh, Su Qing began to think about what to do when they arrived at the two major powers. Soon, he made a decision.
It has to be said that the territory was really big. The two of them were not weak, and their speed was incredibly fast, but they still managed to travel for seven or eight days before finally arriving at the first target of this family.
The Stan family!
Family power is a relatively common type of power in the Chaotic Territory.
After all, people of the same clan are generally more trustworthy.
Before them lay a vast manor, dotted with more than a dozen castles, which looked in no way inferior to Lilyhold.
The guards patrolling the manor were all clad in armor and exuded an air of authority.
Their arrival naturally attracted their attention.
At some point, Su Qing put on that black robe that appeared so often again.
Someone went in to report, and soon a man dressed as a steward came out. When he saw the two of them, his gaze swept over Su Qing and then stopped on the burly old man. His pupils trembled involuntarily.
Living in the same area, people naturally know each other very well.
He recognized the old man who had arrived as one of the three great stewards of Lily Territory, a figure at the peak of glory and extremely powerful. He dared not show the slightest negligence.
"Why did Butler Ramon come in person? Couldn't he have just sent a servant to make the errand? And who is this...?"
Although he said that, he guessed the other party's intentions and didn't show much enthusiasm.
He exchanged pleasantries with the two men, then gestured with his eyes to signal the guard to go inside and report.
The guards quickly came out and said that the clan chief invited the two of them in.
The two followed the butler's lead and entered the largest castle.
Magnificent!
The castle was extremely luxuriously furnished, with gold and jade reflecting light everywhere, and the tables and chairs were made of extremely precious wood, which was a kind of magical material.
The ground beneath our feet is also made of precious magical stone, and what illuminates the entire castle are the light-based magical crystals adorning the walls.
The water cups and kettles are made of ceramic... needless to say, Su Qing made all the money from that.
Su Qing looked around and couldn't help but gasp in amazement. How come he hadn't thought of arranging it this way? It seemed he was still a simple and honest black dragon after all.
I wish this castle were mine!
The thought popped into Su Qing's mind, and she quickly gathered her thoughts.
You can't think like that, you can't think like that, at least not now.
They led him into the hall, where a young man sitting in the main seat came down to greet him. He looked to be only in his twenties, but in reality, he had been in charge of the Stan family for nearly a century—a true old man.
The smile on his face was like that of a fox, carrying a hint of malice and greed.
