Even though he knew what Yan Guangqing was talking about, Jiang Beiran still asked with a puzzled expression, ‘”What joy?”
“The Sheng Kingdom has expanded its territory under your leadership. Isn’t this worth congratulating?
Sigh,” Jiang Beiran sighed.” We were forced to do this as well. The Liang Country…
“Oh?” At this moment, Yan Guangqing suddenly changed his sitting position.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Beiran as he said,””Wasn’t the first to deny that the
Sheng Nation is under your leadership? As far as I know, you are no longer the Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom, so you have changed your identity and continue to lead the Sheng Kingdom in secret?”
‘Tsk, the old fox likes to play with words.’
However, Jiang Beiran had said that on purpose, because he was here to represent the Sheng Country and have a good chat with Yan Guangqing, the Mystique Venerable of the Xing Country, to see if he could get some cooperation.
Under such circumstances, he had to show that the Sheng Kingdom was still under his leadership. Otherwise, if he was just a small fry, why would they talk to him?
Jiang Beiran cupped his hands at Yan Guangqing and replied,””lndeed, nothing can be hidden from Sect Master Yan. Just as you have thought, I do have some say in the Sheng Country.”
“Hahaha!” Seeing that he was right, Guangqing smiled happily.” Alright! Back then, this old man felt that you were a formidable young man. Now, it seems that this old man was right.”
“Thank you for your praise, Sect Master Yan.”
“Hey!” Yan Guangqing suddenly waved his hand and said,””Don’t panic yet. Just now, you said that your country was the one who was forced to do nothing about this matter. This old man is a little curious about how you were forced to do so.”
Jiang Beiran let out a deep sigh after listening to the story, and said helplessly, ‘”‘The Country of Liang has repeatedly invaded our borders, massacred our cultivators, and their wild ambitions to annex our country have long been exposed.”
“Oh?” Yan Guangqing raised his eyebrows and changed his sitting posture. He asked in a very casual tone, “Then will you suddenly feel that our country also has the ambition to annex your country?”
” Tsk, the old fox likes to say things that contain meaning. Does this mean that we’ve given the country of Liang a false accusation?’
Just as Jiang Beiran was mulling over this sentence, the system’s options popped up.
[Choice 1:” Hahaha, if Sect Leader Yan really has such ambitions, then it would truly be a great honor for our Sheng Country. At that time, I will directly hand over the Sheng Country with both hands.” ,Completion Reward: ]
[Choice 2:” Sect Leader Yan, what are you saying? The country is so rich and powerful. Why would it take a fancy to our small Sheng Country?” ,Completion
Reward: ]
[Choice 3:” If the country really has such wild ambitions in the future, then our country will have to protect ourselves again. “[Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]
‘Good fellow…’
Looking at the three options, Jiang Beiran was a little surprised.
” This sly old fox is not one to be coaxed.’
If Jiang Beiran had continued to speak softly like he had just now, this sly old fox would have taken advantage of him, until he was skinned alive.
‘Tsk, as expected, the annexation of the Liang Country has caused a considerable impact on the top echelons of the country.’
Understanding Yan Guangqing’s personality, Jiang Beiran chose the third option. He stood up and faced Yan Guangqing,’”‘lf the country really has such wild ambitions in the future, then our country has no choice but to protect ourselves again.”
[Mission completed. Reward: Constitution +1]
As soon as he said this, Li Fucheng could not help but widen his eyes and look at Big Brother Wang.
The two of them were just having a good chat just now.
But no matter what, there was one thing that Li Fucheng was very sure of.
That was, if Big Brother Wang and Master really became enemies, then he would definitely stand on Big Brother Wang’s side without hesitation.
Yan Guangqing obviously didn’t expect Jiang Beiran to speak to him like that.
Because before this, he had been saying good things to please her, but he did not expect to suddenly be so tough on this issue, and it was completely beyond his expectations.
” I haven’t been able to figure out who Granny Lin’s divination was for all these years, but from his inexplicable confidence, this kid does have a very powerful background.’
Seeing that Yan Guangqing did not flare up on the spot, Jiang Beiran immediately confirmed that the old fox was probably testing his bottom line, or rather, testing him…Something else.
Silence…
The entire central hall fell into a strange silence. In the end, Yan Guangqing broke the silence with a smile.
“Look at you, look at you, Bei Ran, why are you being so serious while we’re chatting? Quick, sit down, sit down.”
“What?!”
Master’s words made Li Fucheng’s eyes widen even more.
Big Brother Wang said such a thing, but Master doesn’t mind at all!?’
Although he had not spent much time with his master, Li Fucheng still felt that his master’s temper was very strong. Many of the higher-ups in the sect were also submissive when they talked to him. They almost did not dare to go against his master’s wishes.
However, Brother Wang had already provoked him directly. Master, he…
He actually endured it?
He even took the initiative to give them a way out?
‘Big Brother Wang…What kind of existence are you?’
While Li Fucheng was shocked, Jiang Beiran was naturally calm and composed. After all, from the three options, it could be seen that Yan Guangqing’s question was just a test.
If he said something soft, then this test would become a further suppression.
However, if he were to resist the current situation, he might even be able to fight back.
Then this test…It would just be a test.
“Oh?” Yan Guangqing raised his eyebrows and changed his sitting posture. He asked in a very casual tone, “Then will you suddenly feel that our country also has the ambition to annex your country?”
