Yan Shan Xinghe then waved his hand and laughed, "However, as I said before, this is not important to me."
"even!"
He paused, looking at Guo Feng, "This is not important to the Empress!"
He then explained, “The Chaos Continent is boundless, and we know of ten empires surrounding a central continent.”
"This central continent is called the Chaos Empire."
"There is a huge barrier between the Ten Great Empires and the Chaos Empire. We cannot get close without permission."
"The Chaos Empire has a method that can detect the ninth-grade, ninth-level powerhouses of the ten great empires."
"Once this powerful individual breaks through to the Immortal Rank, an envoy will immediately appear and take him away."
"This envoy is extremely powerful; no one can resist him."
He then said, "Perhaps it is for this reason that the empire has a system in place that requires ninth-rank experts to go to the royal city or the imperial capital."
"I think I understand."
Guo Feng did not respond to Yan Shan Xinghe's words.
They neither acknowledge nor deny that they are from China.
He laughed and said, "You mean, I should become the Empress's son-in-law, then help you upgrade the main city to a royal city and establish myself as king?"
"more than."
Yan Shan Xinghe shook his head. "I want to become an independent kingdom, not subject to the empire's fiefdom. Of course, I can be a vassal state, paying tribute every year, or even pledging hostages."
"Um."
Guo Feng had fully understood Yan Shan Xinghe's plan.
For him, cooperating with Yanshan Xinghe is the best option.
If Yanshan City becomes independent, China can directly negotiate with Yanshan Xinghe.
It could even establish diplomatic relations.
However, there is a problem.
He wants to become the son-in-law of the Yanyang Empire.
Something feels off.
He looked at Yan Shan Xinghe again, "Even so, what can you do to help me?"
Yan Shan Xinghe looked at Guo Feng and said, "Let's start from the beginning!"
"First, you are from the Land of Forgotten Sins, but the fact that you did not launch a large-scale invasion directly indicates that you do not have any Immortal-level experts."
"In this way, we won't be under too much threat."
Therefore, we can coexist peacefully.
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. There are some people in the empire who highly value military force, so it's definitely a different story."
"Moreover, the Land of Forgotten Sins contains many of our cultivation techniques. You can imagine how serious the consequences would be if they found out!"
"As for me, I hope to obtain some of the cultivation techniques through transactions or negotiations."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Therefore, there is a lot of room for cooperation between us."
"Okay, continue."
Guo Feng had to admit that Yan Shan Xinghe was a very intelligent person who was very good at negotiating.
Yan Shan Xinghe smiled and said, "Secondly, the Empress's search for a son-in-law is not just her business, but the business of the entire empire."
“And those with ulterior motives in the empire will inevitably try to stop it or manipulate it in secret.”
"And you, an unidentified person, don't even have the right to participate."
“And I can give you an identity through Guo Wangcheng’s connections.”
He concluded by saying, "So, we can definitely reach a consensus and cooperate, what do you say?"
How can I trust you?
Guo Feng stared at Yanshan Xinghe.
"You are powerful, so even if I deceive you, it won't cause you much trouble."
Yan Shan Xinghe shrugged. "Of course, you'll have to make all the decisions yourself."
He added, "To be honest, I'm just like the Empress; I need a powerful outsider or force to help me, which is why I chose to tell you all this."
He paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, Guo Wangcheng's people should arrive in two days. If you agree to cooperate with me, I can tell him that you are one of my sons and need a Guo clan identity."
"son?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
Yan Shan Xinghe laughed and said, "This is just a way of saying it about the Guo clan. Besides, I'm several hundred years old, so my age is completely accurate, isn't it?"
"A stopgap measure is fine, but if you keep bringing it up, don't blame me for being impolite."
Guo Feng said calmly, "Since you are willing to cooperate, then let's cooperate."
"Okay, I'll go prepare."
After Yan Shan Xinghe finished speaking, he walked out.
A short while later, Yan Shanfu walked in and treated Guo Feng with utmost respect, receiving him with the highest level of hospitality.
Afterwards, he took Guo Feng to visit the original works of the ancient painting master.
Wait until there's no one around.
Yan Shan asked again, "Young Master Guo, were you serious about what you said this afternoon?"
"good."
Guo Feng nodded. "I can support you in becoming the heir to Yanshan City, but what can you give me in return?"
He didn't completely trust Yan Shan Xinghe either.
Therefore, he still needs to make some arrangements here in Yanshanfu.
Moreover, throughout history, most rebellions have ended badly.
Despite Yan Shan Xinghe's seemingly passionate demeanor, if he were to actually rebel, the chances of failure would be much higher.
They might be eliminated before they even begin to rebel.
Therefore, if we could control Yan Shanfu and make him a reserve city lord, that would be a good thing.
Yan Shan thought for a moment, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "I don't have much, but precisely because I don't have much, once I become the city lord, I will still have to rely on you, Young Master Guo."
"therefore!"
He said earnestly, "I am willing to share the power and benefits of being the city lord with you, Young Master Guo, and I can provide written proof of this!"
