"Isn't it a bit rude of you to make such a request?"
The star formation is Tang Xingyuan's signature skill, and it is because of this formation that Tang Xingyuan was able to become one of the top ten strongest people in Lingdong.
Although in his eyes, the star formation is not precious, he has already refined it to perfection. Moreover, he is the only one in the world who is proficient in this formation. How can he teach it to others?
Once someone knew how to practice the Star Formation, it would mean they also knew how to break it. This would effectively give them a weakness. If they were trustworthy, it would be fine. But if they were a despicable person, I'd be scared to find myself dying without knowing how...
Although Long Yi was very much to his liking and was a rare talent, it was a pity that they had too little contact and had not known each other for very long, so he did not know much about Long Yi. Naturally, he would not give this formation to Long Yi for nothing.
"If you're here just for this matter, then you shouldn't waste your time here. It's better to leave early."
Tang Xingyuan waved his hand impatiently at Long Yi, and the gentle look on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of indifference.
Long Yi coughed awkwardly a few times. Although he was ordered to leave, he did not leave. Instead, he continued, "Mr. Tang, I think you misunderstood me."
"The reason I want to learn the Star Formation isn't to gain a foothold in the Lingdong region, but because I'm planning to travel outside of Lingdong and participate in the Four Directions Martial Arts Competition."
"It was precisely because of this spot in the Four-Party Martial Arts Competition that I became enemies with the Wang family."
"So, even if I learn the Star Formation, I won't use it as leverage to threaten others in the future."
Tang Xingyuan is one of the top ten strongest men in Lingdong, so he naturally knows what the four-way competition represents.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
Long Yi is much younger than himself, but at such a young age he already has such ambitions, and even wants to shine in the martial arts competition. However, that is a bit too difficult.
The young people who are able to participate in the four-way competition are all local elites, and they all have considerable backgrounds. In this era where strength is respected, these young people with backgrounds naturally enjoy a lot of resources from the family, and their strength is far greater than Long Yi.
Even if Long Yi could participate in the four-way competition, he probably wouldn't get any good results in the end. The worst consequence would be that he would even lose his life...
"Mr. Tang, I hope you can consider this."
"Also, although I don't have any other formation diagrams on me, I can still offer you a bargaining chip that will satisfy you. That is, I can contact the people at the auction house. If you need anything in the future, I will ask the auction house to give it to you unconditionally. You don't even need to pay any money. Moreover, you don't need to do anything for the auction house."
This is a great temptation for anyone.
There are many rare treasures in the auction, and those things are priceless. Even the three weapons that Long Yi took out before cannot be compared with those rare treasures.
If Tang Xingyuan takes advantage of the conditions Long Yi has put forward and clears out the auction hall, wouldn’t that be a huge disadvantage?
However, Long Yi still looked confident.
"I'm actually quite curious. What gives you the guts to say such boasts? I've been involved with auctions for a long time, and I've gotten quite a few things from them, but I also know the value of these things. And you're just saying, with all your eloquence, that the auction will let me take things unconditionally? Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"
At this moment, Tang Xingyuan's impression of Long Yi was greatly reduced. He originally thought that Long Yi was a gentleman, but now it seems that he clearly wanted to practice the star formation, so he would do anything, even making up lies to deceive himself.
"Mr. Tang, please be patient."
"I know this does sound a bit far-fetched, but Mr. Tang should be aware that Miss Yaoyue and I have a good relationship, and the auction is still under her control, so the conditions I propose are not excessive."
"As for how I'm going to explain this to the auction house, that's between me and Miss Yaoyue. As long as Mr. Tang is willing, I'm always willing to do this deal with him."
Long Yi looked at Tang Xingyuan with burning eyes. The conditions he offered this time were no weaker than the formation diagram he offered last time.
I believe no one can resist this temptation.
Tang Xingyuan frowned, sat aside, poured himself a cup of tea, and did not respond to Long Yi's words, but fell into deep thought.
Long Yi's conditions had indeed tempted him, and he could feel that the power of the formation diagram in his hand was even stronger. If he studied it carefully in the future, the formation he would set up would definitely not be weaker than the star formation.
However, how long it would take for him to comprehend this formation diagram was still unknown...
Besides, he didn't trust Long Yi very much now, so how could he believe Long Yi's one-sided words and teach the star formation to Long Yi?
After hesitating for a long time, Tang Xingyuan finally spoke again, "Well, if you want to learn the Star Formation, then at least let me see your sincerity first. Didn't you just say that you can convince Yao Yue to let me take anything from the auction unconditionally in the future?"
"As long as you can call Yaoyue over and make him personally promise me this, and then we can both sign an agreement, I will be willing to teach you the Star Formation. Does that make sense?"
Since they don't trust each other, naturally they both need to gain more benefits for themselves.
I'm afraid that just relying on that little bit of good impression is not enough to do anything.
"good!"
Long Yi nodded heavily and said with a smile, "Then Mr. Tang, just wait for me here. I'll contact Miss Yaoyue right now and bring her over later."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang. I'm not the type to make empty promises for no reason. Since I've already promised you, Mr. Tang, I won't let you down!"
