"As for whether or not your Nangong family has truly fallen, Family Head should be well aware of it. Your family's strength is most likely within Ling Tian's grasp. I wonder if Family Head believes it, but while Ling Tian is confident, Family Head definitely does not know the strength of Ling Tian and the strength of the entire Ling family. If that is the case, then how would Family Head calculate whether or not our side has the ability to bear the losses?! Ah ah, Nangong family head, actually, we are already discussing the alliance that your side wants. The so-called alliance will definitely have a common interest and a common enemy. Furthermore, one side will definitely take the initiative. If the one taking the initiative is unable to give the passive side satisfactory conditions, then there is no need to talk about an alliance. Such an alliance is just empty talk. "
Nangong Tianlong's eyes revealed a vicious glint as he glared at Ling Tian for a while. Finally, his eyes dimmed and his boorish face flushed red with anger. After taking two deep breaths, he finally calmed down, "I wonder what other conditions Prince Ling wants? You can say it in front of me! "
Ling Tian chuckled, "After this battle, all the businesses that originally belonged to the Yang family will belong to the Ling family. The Nangong family will not be allowed to interfere and all the profits outside of Sky Bearing will be split 60-40. I will take 60% and you will take 40%. The Nangong family will only have the right to profit and will not interfere with the operations of the businesses! What does Nangong family head think? "
"You!" NanGong TianLong was angered to the point he stood up and pointed at Ling Tian. He was angered to the point he was speechless as his body trembled, "What do you take my NanGong Family for?"
Ling Tian let out a cold laugh, "How can I allow others to sleep beside my bed? Does Family Head still need Ling Tian to explain the reasoning behind this? As for the Nangong family wanting to enter Sky Bearing, there is no room for negotiation. With the Yang Family gone, if the benefits in Sky Bearing do not belong to my Ling family, then what is the point of our cooperation? Although Ling Tian was not very smart, he was never willing to make a losing deal. What if he just replaced the Yang Family with the Nangong family? What good would it do for my Ling family? Is he trying to find a new opponent for the Ling family? Hahaha … "
Nangong Tianlong snorted, "Everything in the Sky Bearing Empire belongs to your Ling family. This is something that this old man had already expected, so I naturally have no objections. However, if you want 60% of the income outside of the Sky Bearing Empire, I can still accept it. However, why do I only have the authority to take profits and not interfere with the operations of the empire? This was too much. Did Young Master really think that the Nangong family was just running errands for him? This condition is too harsh, and we are unable to accept it! "
Ling Tian's eyes flashed, "Ah ah, as the saying goes, the asking price is as high as the sky and as low as the earth. Since Family Head is not satisfied, then what does Family Head think we should do?"
Right at this moment, Ling Chen had already walked over with a pot of wine and a few dishes.
Just as Ling Tian had expected, the wine that this lass brought out was indeed the second-rate wine that was used to entertain Xue Leng and his brother. Towards Nangong Tianlong, none of the people around Ling Tian had a good impression of him. He actually dared to scheme to seize the assets of the Ling family, he deserved to die! Not to mention the fact that he was even provided with first-rate wine!
However, in the eyes of Ling Chen, the second-rate wine was still the best wine that Nangong Tianlong had ever seen in his life! The rich aroma of the wine wafted out, and Nangong Tianlong's Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. However, as the head of the family, Nangong Tianlong forcefully redirected his attention back to the topic at hand, "The cooperation between our two families will definitely result in the fall of the Yang Family. However, since it is a cooperation between our two families, the profits should be fair and reasonable. The Ling family has already cleaned up their internal affairs and obtained the influence of the Yang Family in Sky Bearing. Only the Ling family reigns supreme in Sky Bearing, and the profits can't be said to be small. Then, Prince Ling actually wants sixty percent of the profits from the outside of Sky Bearing! He even wants us to not interfere with the operations of the Ling family's assets. Isn't this a little too unreasonable? "Nangong Tianlong originally wanted to say that he would take sixty percent and Ling Tian would take forty percent. However, after thinking about it, he forcefully swallowed it down. If he really angered Ling Tian, then not only would the name list that he had sent out today be meaningless, the lives of the Nangong family would also come to an end. Such a loss was something that the Nangong family would definitely not be able to accept!
"This young noble has already said that if you ask for a sky-high price, you will have to pay the price. Since Family Head isn't satisfied, you can speak your mind." Seeing that Nangong Tianlong was hesitating, Ling Tian nodded his head and gestured for Ling Chen to pour the wine. He then said to Nangong Tianlong.
"The profits of the Yang Family outside of Sky Bearing will be split 50/50! You and I will each take half! We will not interfere with each other's operations! "Nangong Tianlong gritted his teeth and made the biggest concession!
"Is there still no news back?" Ling Tian frowned and swept the wine cup that Nangong Tianlong had just used onto the floor.
"There is still no news about Su HuaiRen and those two dogs." Ling Chen looked at Ling Tian's expression with unease, "However, ever since Meng Lige and the others from the Northern Wei came to Sky Bearing, they have not made any movements. They only moved into the Smoky Thea Tower yesterday. I heard that the vice envoy of the Northern Wei, Shi YiTan, is not on good terms with Mr Meng and Meng Lige. They have been making things difficult for him and there are even signs of him being placed under house arrest. This really makes one puzzled. "
"Shi YiTan?" Ling Tian let out an 'oh' and suddenly spat out half a mouthful of wine. He then burst out into laughter, "This name really makes me speechless! Shi YiTan, * * puddle? * * * *, dammit, this is so disgusting, hahaha … "
Ling Chen never thought that the vice envoy of the Northern Wei would have such a weird meaning in his name. Hearing Ling Tian's explanation, her face turned red and she giggled, "Young noble, I really don't know how your brain works. Why does a good name always have such a weird meaning in your mouth?"
Ling Tian laughed and frowned, "If that's the case, Meng Lige's situation can be said to be worrisome. Since Wei Chengping sent him to Sky Bearing, Wei Chengping definitely has his own intentions. But now that the envoy and the vice envoy are fighting, it is obvious … Chen 'er, get the Violent Wind Gang to pay attention to the envoy from the Northern Wei. Ever since they came to Sky Bearing, they must be sent here. After all, Meng Lige is also the junior brother of Qin Da and can be considered half a senior uncle to this young noble. Now that he has come to our territory, we must definitely treat him well. "
Ling Chen agreed and smiled, "Young noble, I never thought that Nangong Tianlong would actually agree to such harsh conditions. This time, young noble has really bullied the Nangong family. While it may not be unprecedented for young noble to bully a famous family, it is definitely something that no one in the world has ever done. Chen 'er is impressed!"
Ling Tian shook his head with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "NanGong TianLong is indeed worthy of being the head of the family, truly outstanding! Perhaps when he first came to Sky Bearing, he really wanted to take revenge. But now, that is no longer the case. The reason why he agreed to my conditions is to stabilize our Ling family! "
"Why is that so? Don't tell me he still has the intention to enter Sky Bearing? " Ling Chen was a little confused. Just now, she saw the two of them arguing until their faces were red and they were about to break off their relationship. Could it be that this was Nangong Tianlong's stalling tactic?
"That's not the case. It is true that they are willing to take a step back. In other words, the Nangong family is really afraid! The reason why they are still in Sky Bearing is definitely not to deal with the Yang Family! It is just that they are unwilling to accept it. The matters in Sky Bearing have yet to come to an end and they are unwilling to leave just like that. Furthermore, it is also because they do not have the confidence to leave safely. This is the reason for today's negotiation! This old fox is trying to test my attitude. Thus, I have to be aggressive and give him some peace of mind. As for dealing with the Yang Family, the Nangong family is not willing to take the risk. It's because he's afraid that we'll be the fisherman who takes advantage of the situation and wipe out both of them in one fell swoop! Originally, the Nangong family did not understand our strength and did not have such thoughts. But after yesterday's matter, Nangong Tianlong is really thinking of retreating. "
"Oh, so that's the case." Ling Chen nodded her head but still did not understand, "Regarding young noble's sudden display of strength yesterday, Chen 'er still does not understand young noble's intentions. After so many years of hiding, isn't it too risky to expose yourself in front of the heroes of the world? Furthermore, isn't it a pity to create such a situation for so many years …"
Ling Tian let out a meaningful smile, "Chen 'er does not need to worry. I have my reasons for doing so." He then changed the topic, "Is Old Madam in the attic or the backyard? I will go find her and pass her the name list. For this matter, it would be more appropriate for grandmother to do it. "
"Old Madam is in the front hall." Ling Chen sneaked a glance at Ling Tian, "Hearing that the Emperor is here to visit Consort Ling, Old Madam went over to accompany him. I heard from Little Sister Xiao He that the Emperor is going to visit young noble in a while. "
With Ling Chen's intelligence, how could she not know why Long Xiang was here at Ling Tian's place? Ever since Long Xiang saw Ling Chen that day, Ling Chen already knew that the Emperor of Sky Bearing had some intentions towards her. However, Ling Chen was not afraid at all. While she had the status of a maid, she had been groomed by Ling Tian for so many years. Not only did she learn martial arts from him, but she had also learned a lot about his temper. Thus, she did not treat this Emperor of Sky Bearing as a big deal. What she was more afraid of was that Ling Tian would be angry at her for this matter, even though it was not her fault.
Indeed, Ling Tian's face gradually darkened. After a long while, he said with a cold voice, "Indeed, those who are not of the same family will not enter the same house! He and that darn Empress of his are really a match made in heaven. Both of them do not know the meaning of death! After I revealed my strength, they actually dared to have designs on you and even came knocking on my door! Hehe, they are indeed bold in their lust. "
