Gu Liyan sighed, "The situation in this world is becoming increasingly unclear..."
—Li Erniang returned to her room, and Li Jin hurriedly stood up, asking anxiously, "How did it go? Did he agree?"
“No, Gu Liyan said that you are too famous and attracted too much attention during the first competition, so…” Li Erniang shook her head slightly.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Jin's eyes, but it quickly turned into disappointment. "He's right. It seems I'll have to keep a low profile in the upcoming competition..."
Li Erniang glanced at Li Jin and said, "Don't worry, it's just a competition. You'll have plenty of opportunities to make a name for yourself in the future!"
"I understand, Second Aunt. Don't worry, I'll keep a low profile," Li Jin said with a gentle smile.
Li Erniang breathed a sigh of relief, inexplicably worried that Li Jin would blame Gu Liyan, but she immediately dismissed the thought. There was nothing about Gu Liyan that would make anyone jealous. If there was anything, it was only his stunningly beautiful and otherworldly appearance and temperament. Moreover, Li Jin would not resort to violence indiscriminately.
But is the Li Jin she thinks of still the same Li Jin she used to know?
——The Samurai Kingdom
Mo Han and the other sat down quietly to enjoy the delicious food. Shangguan Honghuo, with a fawning smile, said, "Now that the Realm Lord understands the situation, shouldn't you state your position?"
Mo Han glanced at Shangguan Honghuo and asked, "Do you think we should help you based on this alone?"
“Lord of the Realm, although I do not have your abilities, I am doing this for the development of the Nine Springs Realm. Isn’t this a win-win solution enough to convince you?” Shangguan Honghuo said with a frown.
Mo Han sneered, "Shangguan Honghuo, you are too arrogant! Do you think you can conquer two great powers at the same time with such a small number of people and such a small territory? Not to mention that the other great powers are full of talented people, even if they do not form an alliance, as long as their strongmen stand up, your group of people would not be enough to fight ten of them!"
Shangguan Honghuo smiled slightly, "What the Realm Lord said makes sense. Aren't we just waiting for you, who can suppress all methods, to agree to cooperate with us?"
"You want me to be your henchman?" Mo Han asked coldly, narrowing his eyes.
"No, no, no, as long as you approve of our actions, that's fine. As for the battle, you don't need to participate. Just give us some strategic guidance."
"Strategy?" Mo Han looked at Shangguan Honghuo with a puzzled expression.
“That’s right. As long as you, my lord, are sure to support us, I will definitely inform you of the strategy for attacking the city, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied.” Shangguan Honghuo said confidently.
Mo Han squinted, trying to discern something from Shangguan Honghuo, but he always felt as if a fog was shrouding him, making it impossible for him to predict.
Just then, Mo Chen suddenly stood up and said calmly, "I'm sorry, but I think it would be better if I left, because it seems unlikely that my master would agree to help the Samurai Kingdom."
Shangguan Honghuo frowned slightly before seriously examining Mo Chen. Looking at the aura emanating from Mo Chen, he sneered, "Brother, you seem to be a companion weapon, right? I wonder who your master is? Perhaps you even have some connection with my master."
Mo Chen heard the threat and sarcasm in his words and snorted coldly, "You wouldn't recognize him even if I told you!"
Shangguan Honghuo smiled and said, "If you, my lord, can persuade your master to assist me and the Lord of the Realm, then I think no problem will be a problem!"
Mo Chen pointed at Shangguan Honghuo and said irritably, "I don't think there's anything wrong with anything else, but I think there's something wrong with you right now! What fourth-generation leader? It's just a bunch of self-righteous guys gathered together, a complete rabble!"
Mo Han frowned, not expecting that the usually composed and steady Mo Chen would actually lose his temper with Shangguan Honghuo.
Seeing Shangguan Honghuo's calm and composed expression, his heart skipped a beat, because he suddenly realized that this guy's scheming seemed to be much more sophisticated than his own!
Mo Han glanced at Mo Chen, who was still fuming, and suddenly noticed a smug smile on his face. She immediately narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Mo Chen, if you don't want to cooperate with us, then go back!"
"What?! Mo Han, you bastard—" Mo Chen pointed at Mo Han, furious. "You made me come to the Kingdom of Warriors with you, and now you want me to go back to the Kingdom of Mighty Dragons by myself? I'm not going back!"
Mo Han said coldly, "Don't misunderstand. What I mean is that you should go back to the Nine Springs Realm! You can leave this to me and Shangguan Honghuo."
Upon hearing this, Mo Chen's eyes widened, and he pointed at Mo Han, his finger trembling with anger. "You, you've used me and then discarded me!"
"Enough with the nonsense, get out!" Mo Han raised his hand and slapped Mo Chen in the chest. Mo Chen then disappeared from the hall.
Upon seeing Mo Han's technique, the surrounding waiters were all startled and took a few steps back in fear.
Seeing that Mo Han had sent Mo Chen back to the Nine Springs Realm, Shangguan Honghuo couldn't help but smile. He picked up his wine cup and said, "In that case, I would like to thank the Realm Lord for his support!"
Mo Han snorted coldly, "I expect you to give me a satisfactory solution!"
“Of course!” Shangguan Honghuo said, squinting his eyes.
—A thunderbolt struck from the clear sky, followed by a figure falling from the sky.
"Ouch!" Mo Chen fell face-first to the ground, scrambled to his feet, spat out some dirt, and cursed, "Pah, pah, pah! That Mo Han, she didn't even warn me! Luckily no one saw..."
"Ah!" Before Mo Chen could finish speaking, a startled exclamation made him turn around and see a familiar face.
"A celestial being descending from the heavens!" Li Hao exclaimed excitedly, pointing at Mo Chen. "So Brother Gu's friend is also a legendary figure!"
