Chapter 895: Chapter 674: The Difference Between Ordinary People and Powerhouses_3
"I haven’t agreed to anything, I just think what you said makes a lot of sense," Long Yi released his hand.
"So..."
"Have your people leave, I still have some matters to take care of. Then I’ll go meet that Emperor to see if he’s really as interesting as you claim," Long Yi said.
The short one immediately agreed to everything, and almost simultaneously, everyone in the tavern left. Without wasting a word, the short one quickly bowed and exited the tavern.
The short one didn’t go far after leaving the tavern but headed to the top floor of another restaurant across the street. Within a luxurious private room, the Emperor of the Sanctuary Empire, Saint Danze, had been waiting for quite a while.
"Your Majesty! Long Yi has agreed!" the short one excitedly reported.
"Excellent! Truly excellent! Among all my sons, you’re the one who makes me proudest!" Saint Danze said with excitement. This short one was none other than another son of Saint Danze, Saint Linde.
"It’s just my good luck," Saint Linde humbly replied.
"Nevertheless, we’ve seized this opportunity! I’ve always speculated that Long Yi doesn’t truly have the Divine Auffa Empire’s best interests at heart. It wasn’t in vain that I used several covert agents and risked losing them to gain information on Long Yi. The rift between Long Yi and Ai Lin is our greatest chance! I had no idea, truly hadn’t foreseen that both Long Yi and Ai Lin could be so powerful! But now it’s different, Long Yi has left, and he will join us! Ai Lin can no longer pose a threat!"
Saint Danze’s heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably; he’d never imagined getting so agitated over a mere warrior. However, Long Yi was not that mere warrior. He was the king of the Stellar Realm Arena, with three Sanctuary Mages meeting their end at his hands, and his notorious "Plane Pursuit" was enough to keep countless elderly Mages awake at night.
But now it was all in the past, for Long Yi would be joining the Sanctuary Empire. Saint Danze didn’t believe that Long Yi would genuinely be loyal to his Empire, but he didn’t need Long Yi’s loyalty—he saw their relationship as purely transactional. He would give Long Yi what he wanted, and in return, Long Yi would fight for him.
This was fair.
Once Saint Linde had left, Long Yi also left the tavern, and Little Zi informed Long Yi that this time, truly, no one was trailing them.
"Phew... I’ve been wearing this deeply aggrieved expression for several days; my facial muscles have become stiff," Long Yi touched his face.
"But it’s worth it, isn’t it? The people from the Sanctuary Empire took the bait, right?" Little Zi said with a giggle, reaching out her little hand to rub Long Yi’s face.
"Haha, it turns out I’m the smart one after all, coming up with such a devious plan! I really am too cunning! Too sly! Too shameless!" Long Yi ’praised’ himself.
It turned out that Long Yi had suddenly realized that if he continued to stay in the Divine Auffa Empire, there was no telling when he would actually gain access to the Teleportation Gate.
Owing to the strength of the Divine Auffa Empire, the addition of Long Yi and Ai Lin meant that they would be even less likely to think about using the Teleportation Gate. Furthermore, forcing the other party to open the gate also seemed unreliable. Hence, the ultimate solution was only one—chaos.
Therefore, Long Yi and Ai Lin devised this plan, utilizing the conflict between them, a minor conflict that ultimately led to a full-fledged split. Long Yi believed the Sanctuary Empire would certainly seize this opportunity. What he hadn’t anticipated was the Sanctuary Empire’s capability to act so quickly. He’d just left the Divine Auffa Empire’s territory when the people from the Sanctuary Empire were already on his tail. Their direct and straightforward proposition for Long Yi to join the Sanctuary Empire showed the adventurous nature of the Emperor named Saint Jialin. Even after having lost three Sanctuary Mages and countless soldiers to him, Saint Jialin still dared to approach him.
Although everyone understood that Long Yi’s value far outweighed Saint Jialin’s losses, Long Yi started to appreciate Saint Jialin somewhat. Decisive and acting without hesitation.
As for why Long Yi didn’t immediately agree?
Are you kidding me? I, Long Yi, am a master! A powerhouse! Of course, a master and a powerhouse should always maintain a hint of mystery and dignity.
