1759 The Invisible Sword, Accept My Value! (7)
To reach this level and be chosen to go to Abyss Island alone… It’s not a simple feat!
“Very bold.” Xu Xiaoshou praised.
“Then what do we have to pay?” Feng Xiaose asked.
“Very few, very few…” Xu Xiaoshou smiled and shook his head. He turned around and walked past Li Fugui to Mu Zixi’s side. As he walked, he said,
“I am merely a connection between the war faction and the conservative faction of Xu Yue Grey Palace.”
“I’m your sword. You can use me to achieve your goals.”
“If necessary, I will inform both of you if I need anything. But you are big factions. The manpower, material resources, and financial resources that I need from you will definitely not exceed what you can afford.”
“Cooperation, win-win…Isn’t it?”
Xu Xiaoshou stood beside his little junior sister, with his hands open and a smile on his face.
“If I don’t even trust you, I won’t form an alliance with you because Palace Master Bai Zhou supports me unconditionally.”
Mu Zixi took a half-step sideways, her gaze fixed on the senior brother beside her, who emitted a radiant aura. Her large eyes sparkled.
It must be said that the current Xiaoshou was incredibly charming!
Mu Zixi loved seeing Xu Xiaoshou in this state. This was what she liked.
She didn’t dislike Xu Xiaoshou playing those incomprehensible conspiracies and tricks because they were impressive.
But compared to those behind-the-scenes manipulations, this overt dominance—where a junior, a Sovereign Dao Realm cultivator, negotiated terms and pressed a member of a major faction, who was at the higher void level. Who wouldn’t like that?
“Hiss ~” Mu Zixi wiped her saliva.
Li Fugui’s gaze followed Lord Shou’s movements.
In this current transaction, he fully understood Lord Shou’s value and also saw the foresight of Lord Bazhun’an.
Lord Shou, an invaluable treasure!
Clearly, before their conversation, Lord Shou didn’t even know who the Palace Master of Xu Yue Grey Palace was.
He clearly didn’t know anything!
But after their conversation…
He only plainly obtained some personal information!
Using Feng Xiaose was a general idea that he had suggested.
Li Fugui had not even thought of the details himself.
However, as soon as the two of them came out of the Holy Realm, Lord Shou managed to use all the information he had previously acquired!
He even fought an information war, and Feng Xiaose was completely defeated!
Li Fugui recalled what Heiye Zi had said two years after he joined the Half-Moon Residence when he received the Flora Token and met Heiye Zi and Bai Yezi.
She said…
“In the eyes of most people, the value of information is merely information, preparation in advance and risk avoidance.”
“But in the eyes of a very few, information is a sword, an intangible sword that kills without bloodshed.”
“Using the difference in information, clever individuals can manipulate all three parties—me, you, and him—as easily as clapping their hands. They can drive tigers to swallow wolves and watch from a safe distance.”
“To make people feel smug after losing things, to make people feel happy after consuming their money and food, to utilize other’s resources, to fulfill what I want, to gather the treasures of all parties, and to gain something for nothing. This is an ultimate utilization of information.”
In the past, Li Fugui didn’t really understand this kind of thing.
He eventually realized that even esteemed figures like Hei Yezi and Bai Yezi found it difficult to reach such a level.
But now, Lord Shou, whom he had just met, effortlessly displayed it!
Could this be considered a talent?
Li Fugui lowered his head, his eyes flickering.
He knew Lord Shou didn’t simply get something for nothing, that he had made sacrifices.
But the sacrifice was in the form of information—a seemingly unimportant yet incredibly vital thing.
Perhaps there was still a bargaining chip, and that was himself.
However, anyone who could employ such tactics was undoubtedly a cunning fox, an important figure.
How could someone like that not be their own biggest asset?
Lord Shou was different. He was still insignificant, and he spoke of the future.
Yet, the way he presented these future prospects had the power to make people believe and submit.
He sold his own value at an exorbitant price, presented in a blank form!
Li Fugui could hardly hide his interest in the First Pavilion in the Sky.
He had been intrigued all along, but he suppressed his thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given so much to Lord Shou.
But now, after hearing Lord Shou’s words, he realized that his thoughts couldn’t be contained. The First Pavilion in the Sky was even better than he had imagined.
If it weren’t for his association with the Flower Pavilion, if he were just a wanderer…
Li Fugui looked at Zhu Yike, whose eyes were sparkling.
This guy was even allowed to have the sparkling gaze when he first saw Lord Shou and confirmed his identity.
For the first time, Li Fugui was so envious of someone, a passerby that he had never liked.
“I agree unconditionally!”
Feng Xiaose finally raised his head and smiled as he reached out his hand to Xu Xiaoshou.
“I’ll talk to our people in Xu Yue Grey Palace. We’ll definitely get you the answer you want.”
“From now on, the Xu Yue Grey Palace will help you with anything you need. When we need you, we won’t be polite either.”
Xu Xiaoshou grinned and reached out his hand too.
He finally had bargaining chips and could negotiate with the unfamiliar Palace Master Bai Zhou…Well, it should also be an unconditional agreement, right?
“Happy cooperation!”
