Zuan was taken aback: "Is it that serious?"
Yu Yanluo nodded in agreement: "That's right. The human race and the demon race have been fighting for so many years that they have long since formed a blood feud, and it's impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong. If you publicly declare what you just said, you will not only be attacked by your political enemies in the court and the public, but you may also be despised by the people. The same goes for those in the demon race who speak well of the human race."
Zuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I am not so arrogant as to presume to resolve the hatred between the two races. I only seek to have a clear conscience. For those who treat me as a friend, I will welcome them with fine wine; for those who face enemies, I will send them a big stick, whether they are human or demon."
Kong Qing nodded secretly, naturally understanding that the other party was deliberately blurring the line between friends. Clearly, anyone among the demon race who was on good terms with him would also become his friend. He thought to himself, "No wonder the princess took a liking to this guy; he's not as stubborn and narrow-minded as ordinary humans."
Yu Yanluo glanced at him a few more times, as if she were getting to know him all over again.
His eyes held a mixture of joy and worry. Such a temperament could easily be exploited by those with ill intentions, and if things went wrong, he would be in trouble when neither the human nor the demon race could tolerate him.
Kong Qing said, "That's settled then. Madam Yu, you're also doing business with the demon race, and this Brother Zu doesn't seem to have the same prejudice against the demon race as most people do. So we don't have any points of conflict at all. We should turn enemies into friends and work together."
Zu An laughed: "You're trying to persuade an imperial envoy to join you in your corrupt practices? Aren't you being a bit too ambitious?"
Yu Yanluo also said, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. It is impossible for me to cooperate with you."
Kong Qing's face darkened: "That would be difficult to handle."
Jian Taiding, standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Kong, why are you chatting like friends? Hurry up and deal with them, lest things get complicated and who knows if they've sent anyone over here."
He had been seriously injured before, and was almost fully recovered after taking the Viagra Sea Dog Pill. However, he was seriously injured again. Not only did the Viagra Sea Dog Pill not work, but the combination of the rapid effects of the medicine and his severe injuries left him weaker than ever before. Naturally, he didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place.
Moreover, seeing Kong Qing persuade the two to cooperate, he was almost scared out of his wits.
If those two really agree, how will he cope?
But he is powerless to change anything now. Only by returning to Cloud City and having more resources at his disposal can he have the confidence to deal with Kong Qing. That is why he urged the other party to take action as soon as possible.
At this moment, Zu'an took the opportunity to transmit his voice to Yu Yanluo: "Madam, please help me buy some time while I summon the Emperor's power to deal with them."
Kong Qing is unfathomable. The others traveling with him all possess a long and powerful aura. Apart from the child, each of them has a higher cultivation level than Uncle Ming. If such a lineup were to actually fight, he and Yu Yanluo would definitely not be a match for them.
So, they immediately unleashed their trump card to suppress these people.
Yu Yanluo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do my best. Hurry up."
She frowned slightly, feeling somewhat troubled. It seemed that none of the guys opposite her were inferior to her, not even counting Kong Qing, who was a late-stage Grandmaster.
Although they possess the unique skills found in the painting, it remains to be seen whether they can withstand the attacks of so many experts.
In her estimation, she could only buy herself three breaths at most with the enemy's all-out attack, unless...
Seeing their lips move slightly, Kong Qing guessed that they were communicating, so he spoke up: "Brother Zu, how about we make a deal? I won't take action later, and you won't use your imperial edict, how about that?"
Although he left Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce early last time, he naturally sensed the great commotion caused by the imperial edict summoning him, and found out what was going on after inquiring.
Zuan was taken aback; he never expected the other party to make such a request.
Jian Taiding immediately shouted, "Brother Kong, are you crazy? Why would you make such an agreement?"
As a grandmaster, he naturally knew that although imperial edicts were powerful, they had a long lead time.
For a grandmaster like Kong Qing in the later stages, the time before summoning the imperial edict was enough for him to kill the summoner several times over, so this condition was clearly a self-inflicted wound.
Yu Yanluo was also surprised. She had felt that Kong Qing's attitude towards Zu'an was strange from the beginning, and now it was confirmed.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Kong Qing smiled slightly: "Brother Zu, you are a good friend of our princess, and I don't want to ruin our harmony. You don't need the imperial decree, and I won't take action. You and my men will fight. If you win, I will leave immediately; if you lose, you will agree to cooperate with us. How about it?"
Jian Taiding was both shocked and furious: "So this kid has been colluding with the demon race all along! He's been yelling at me to fight and kill me all day long, I don't know where he got the nerve!"
Anger points from Jian Taiding: +574 +574 +574...
He felt incredibly frustrated. Before, when he did business with the demon race, he was always cautious, like a thief. These people stood on their moral high ground and criticized him in various ways.
So it turns out they were all colluding with the demon race?
And it was with a high-ranking person like the princess!
Heavens above, what kind of world is this?
Yu Yanluo also gave Zu An a strange look, muttering to herself, "Princess?"
I never expected that this guy would have a connection with a princess of the demon race.
Speaking of which, ever since I met him, he has been surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women, such as Ji Xiaoxi from the outskirts of Mingyue City, and Miss Chu... Now even the princess of the demon race seems to have a close relationship with him, and even my relationship with him is closer than with other men.
Is this guy destined to be plagued by romantic entanglements?
