"Cooperation is based on the equal status of both parties, not... one side is strong and the other side is weak." An Lishan said slowly, and every word hit Baiying's heart like a heavy hammer.
He knew that this cooperation was crucial to both parties, but he would never change his principles and bottom line because of the other party's attitude.
Baiying was silent for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth again, revealing a provocative smile: "So, what do you think our status is now?"
Her eyes were as sharp as a sword, trying to penetrate An Lishan's heart.
An Lishan met her gaze without flinching and smiled confidently: "I believe that as long as we respect each other and treat each other as equals, we will be able to achieve a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship."
Baiying was silent for a while, but the hostility in her eyes did not disappear.
She sneered and said, "Haha, you just want to ensure your right to speak."
An Lishan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. He responded, "I was only trying to protect myself. Now, let's put these unpleasant things aside and start discussing the next steps of cooperation. I'm sure those elders have been waiting for a long time."
He suddenly became calm and gentle again, as if he was not affected by Baiying's attitude.
An Lishan didn't even look at the armed soldier lying down, waved his hand, and let the starships retreat.
It was as if they were all tools for him to achieve his goals.
An Lishan didn't even look at the armed soldiers lying on the ground. He just waved his hand casually, signaling all the starships to retreat.
In his eyes, these armed soldiers seemed to be just tools to achieve his goals, without any value or meaning.
Their life or death is of no importance to An Lishan; completing the mission is the most important thing.
Following An Lishan's gesture, the fleet of starships quickly left the scene, leaving behind a mess and abandoned armed soldiers.
At this moment, "Miss Tech" stepped forward, her eyes cold as ice, and her words uttered a chilling tone: "An Lishan, I will report your actions truthfully!"
However, in the face of this warning, An Lishan simply tilted his head nonchalantly, even with a disdainful smile on his lips, as if he didn't take the other party's threat seriously at all: "You can report whatever you want, but I don't think those elders will take any action against me."
There was a sense of confidence and arrogance in his voice, as if he was fully confident of his status and influence.
"Hmph!" Miss Tech snorted coldly. She knew very well that there was nothing left to communicate with this person.
However, she will remember everything that happened today.
"Let's go." She turned around without looking back and said to Li Longji and Baiying behind her.
There was a hint of determination in her voice, as if declaring to An Lishan that she would never easily forget the humiliation she suffered today.
Li Longji and Baiying looked at each other, nodded silently, followed Miss Tech closely, and left together.
Led by Miss Tech, they boarded Anlishan's starship and headed to the location where the former Tang elders were.
Yuntianxing-Wangyuan Pavilion.
That is where the former Tang Dynasty veterans are now.
Along the way, neither side spoke again.
In the depressing atmosphere, Li Longji couldn't help but ask:
"Are they the former... elders who have been hiding here all this time?"
"right."
Miss Tech replied coldly.
Baiying remained silent.
Li Longji couldn't help but feel extremely shocked and confused.
He didn't expect that these former Tang elders had been living in seclusion on Yuntian Star.
But aren’t they afraid that the Martial Lord will know that they are all here and then be wiped out in one fell swoop?
In response to this question, Li Longji looked up at An Lishan who was sitting next to him.
Maybe it's because of him?
But this has nothing to do with him. His ultimate mission is to shift the battlefield.
The rest has nothing to do with him.
Wangyuan Pavilion is the most important tower pillar on Yuntian Star. Yes, it can be seen from afar. It looks like a suspended city in the sky, like a quail egg, flashing various warning lights.
Floating above Yuntian Star City.
Just like the heaven that rules over the human world.
Under the guidance of An Lishan, they came to Wangyuan Pavilion.
Led by the lead ship, they entered.
There were people guiding them along the way to meet the ministers.
The so-called elders are actually the former veterans of the Tang Group and the descendants of those who followed the first Tang Lord to conquer the Tang star field.
Because they are descendants of the founding fathers, their interests are tied to the group.
It can be said that Lord Wu's change of name from Tang to Wu destroyed their golden rice bowl.
This is cutting off someone's source of income.
Moreover, after acquiring the Tang Dynasty Group, Lord Wu did not discuss with them, but instead targeted and dealt with them.
This made them unwillingly hide in secret to avoid the Martial Lord's edge.
Wangyuan Pavilion used to be the border fortress of the Tang Dynasty Group, but after the Tang Dynasty was changed to Empress Wu, they took the opportunity to seize this border fortress.
Hide and bide your time.
In fact, when the Lord of War was cleaning up the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, they secretly rescued many of them.
When entering the meeting hall, Li Longji saw a group of artificial machines looking at them in full readiness.
These artificial bodies are the memory carriers of the former Tang elders.
That's right, in order to avoid becoming a weakness.
