"If you want to defect to the enemy, just do it yourself. What's the point of telling me all this?" With this thought in mind, Wang Yao composed himself again and then said calmly.
According to the normal script, he should release the golden sword here, shout "You traitorous dog! How dare you defect to the enemy in the face of battle! Let me see how many heads you have!", and then kill this bastard.
However, the difference in their levels of understanding was too great, so Wang Yao could only soften his tone and adopt a nonchalant attitude, as if Lu Bu's surrender had nothing to do with him.
"Oh dear, my lord, have you forgotten that you are an immortal? This matter still requires your help to connect us. However, I assure you with my life that this matter will only benefit you and pose no danger whatsoever!" Lu Bu said with a sincere expression.
"My lord, think about it. You only need to introduce me to your friends on your side. Once I've reached an agreement with them, we'll surrender the pass. So, not only will you not have to fight this battle, but you'll also gain the Demon Realm the benefit of having me and Bird Return Ridge..."
"The Demon Lord wouldn't treat you badly, would he? This is something that has only benefits and no drawbacks, why would you hesitate?" Lu Bu said, his big face almost touching Wang Yao's nose.
“No! My companion Wei Zheng will definitely not agree.” Wang Yao took a step back and shook his head repeatedly. He was still not very sure about Lü Bu’s intentions, but regardless of whether Lü Bu was testing him or not, he would never do such a treacherous thing.
Hu Mei, that woman, is still alive and kicking over there, and he also has serious doubts about the character of Li Kui and his gang from the Demon Realm.
"As long as you agree, sir, that Wei fellow is nothing more than a Nascent Soul cultivator. You can leave him to me to handle. You don't need to worry, sir," Lu Bu said quietly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
“Well… your plan still has some flaws.” Wang Yao was startled by the murderous intent in Lu Bu’s eyes, and then realized that if he clearly rejected Lu Bu’s plan now, this bastard might be serious and might immediately turn against him and attack him.
Even with Wei Zheng and Hui Shuo, Wang Yao knew he and Wei Zheng were no match for this bastard. So he decided to appease Lü Bu first and then figure out a solution later. After a moment's hesitation, Wang Yao quickly came up with an idea.
"Oh? But I wonder where the flaws in my plan lie?" Lu Bu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Think about it, even if I and my friends in the Demon Realm praise you to the skies, you still surrendered willingly, didn't you? No matter how much I recommend you, it won't change that fact. What right do you have to negotiate with the Demon Clan?"
"They didn't beg you to surrender in the first place; they might even be eyeing your divine flesh. But because you took the initiative, the true divine flesh that was about to be in their mouths is gone. How can they be happy? They might even make things difficult for you in every way, and it might be even more dangerous for you to go there."
Wang Yao spoke in a very serious tone.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about!" Lu Bu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "Does the Old Man of the Moon have any good ideas?"
“There are ways. If you want the other party to offer a good price, you have to let them see your value. My words alone are far from enough.” A smile appeared on Wang Yao’s face.
“Yes, yes, yes, just talking is definitely not enough,” Lu Bu echoed.
"So, we should first defend Bird Return Ridge. Since Wei Zheng said there is great potential here, it can't be that it will collapse with just one attack from the demons, right? Let's make the demons suffer a bit first. Once we've hurt them, I'll introduce you to the demon realm."
“Think about it, you proved your strength back then, and with my recommendation and the fact that the demons were having trouble taking Bird Return Ridge, wouldn’t it be exactly what they wanted if you surrendered then? Any conditions would be easier to negotiate,” Wang Yao said.
“That’s excellent! But…” Upon hearing Wang Yao’s words, Lü Bu’s expression brightened at first, but then he frowned and looked troubled.
"But what?" Wang Yao's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that Lu Bu had put on such a big show in front of him, and it was only a matter of time before the truth came out.
"But wouldn't that put you at great risk, sir? I truly feel terrible about it!" Lu Bu said, his face full of unease.
Upon hearing what Lu Bu said, Wang Yao was taken aback, but then he suddenly realized that it was because of his previous words about running away when the demons attacked that this bastard misunderstood his position and thought that he, Wang Yao, was a cracked egg, so he had bitten him.
"Oh, what's the big deal? Didn't we say that the demon vanguard is just cannon fodder? What's the risk in killing some cannon fodder? When we really encounter a powerful demon, we'll act according to the situation. There's no need to risk our lives. I will naturally find an opportunity to make contact with them."
"To be honest, only a fool would be willing to fight to the death with those demon bastards, so helping you is also helping myself." Wang Yao then smiled and rolled his eyes at Lu Bu.
"Thank you very much, sir. I will immediately go and strengthen the patrols. I will make sure the demons see our strength, so that it will be easier for you to negotiate with them." Upon hearing this, Lu Bu's expression immediately relaxed. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Yao and turned to leave the temple.
Watching Lu Bu's retreating figure, Wang Yao lost all interest in learning the "Traceless" technique. Damn it, with such a formidable enemy at hand, the most powerful person in his own camp was actually considering surrendering. This was an extremely dangerous situation. After pondering for a while, he got up and walked out.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the view from the Bird Return Ridge city wall was excellent. Wang Yao stood there and looked around, but he didn't see Hui Shuo's figure.
