When he walked out of the Mansion of Light, he intended to go directly back to the inn, but he saw Wang Lu and Yue Xinyao waiting side by side in the shadow of a corner.
Wen Bao hurriedly sent away his two assistants and quickly stepped forward.
Wang Lu looked at the remaining blank expression on Wen Bao's face and said with a playful smile, "Fatty, sure enough, when winter comes, spring is not far away!"
"Pfft." Yue Xinyao covered her mouth and chuckled.
Wen Bao bowed his head in embarrassment. When he saw the smile on Yue Xinyao's face, his heart felt sour.
"How is the negotiation going? “
Speaking of business, Wen Bao also restrained some of the thoughts in his heart and seriously repeated the process.
Wang Lu patted the fatty's shoulder. "Good, you really didn't disappoint."
Wen Bao shook his head in frustration. "It's all based on the foundation laid by Senior Brother … The other party actually wanted to cooperate, I just pushed the boat along with the current, there's nothing worth mentioning."
"Pushing the boat along with the current is also a skill, at least the other party is willing to let you push, this is not easy."
After being in contact with Wang Lu for a long time, Wen Bao could hear the ridicule in the other party's words. He couldn't help but be embarrassed. "Senior Brother is joking … there's no such thing!"
"It doesn't matter, sooner or later there will be. Since she has made an appointment to continue the negotiation tomorrow, you should prepare well tonight and work hard tomorrow to make the favorable impression on her go up another level. "
Wen Bao was surprised. "Senior Brother, are you going to wash your hands of this!?"
"Otherwise, do you want to die?" Wang Lu spread out his hands, "Since you talked well with the other party today, you should continue to work hard. Casually changing people in the negotiation process is like changing the profession of a writer, facing great risks."
"This, this is not the same as what we agreed at the beginning."
Wang Lu patted Wen Bao's shoulder. "Then keep up with the times."
"This!?"
Seeing that Wen Bao was still uneasy, Wang Lu at least seriously explained, "At this stage, you are the best candidate to negotiate with that Qian Hu, because no matter what the result is, there will be room for mediation. You still have me behind you, and Li Nana still has the Great Ming Country's imperial court. Secondly, Li Nana and I both have the temperament to attack. When two attacks meet, there will definitely be a setback. However, we are here to negotiate, not to fight or to be turned gay. So, at this time, we need a fatty like you to come forward and ease the atmosphere. Look at you, you did very well today. "
Wen Bao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "We almost lost our sovereignty and humiliated our country."
"The first time is just a little shaky. In the future, when you get used to it, the thrill will gradually come. Moreover, even if you lose your country's sovereignty, you still have me, the Cult Master, to back you up. What are you afraid of? The last and most important reason is that Qian Hu likes you a lot. You have to make good use of your favorability. "
Wen Bao said helplessly, "Senior Brother, which eye of yours saw that she likes me!?"
"Otherwise, why do you think you haven't lost your sovereignty and humiliated your country?"
Wen Bao was taken aback.
— —
No matter how Wen Bao argued, in the end, he couldn't shirk this task. Wang Lu mercilessly put the heavy responsibility of negotiation on Wen Bao's shoulders, and then disappeared without a trace. Yue Xinyao, without a doubt, followed Wang Lu. Therefore, Wen Bao had to fight alone with loneliness and sorrow.
However, in the next two days, the negotiation with Li Nana was not as difficult as he imagined.
Li Nana's character was indeed strong. During the negotiation, she interfered countless times, making Wen Bao break out in cold sweat. He was extremely embarrassed, but every crisis was more frightening than dangerous. Li Nana gave Wen Bao enough room to maneuver, so that he wouldn't be too embarrassed.
Perhaps it was because her willingness to cooperate was very strong, or perhaps it was because she really had a perverted aesthetic that she would like a fat teenager like Wen Bao … However, Wen Bao simply had no time to think about these trivial details. Representing the Wisdom Sect to negotiate with the Mansion of Light took up all of his energy. There were too many problems that needed to be solved, and the conflicts of interest that needed to be disputed were innumerable. So much so that in these two days, Wen Bao and Li Nana did not rest for even a moment. They talked all night long, until he, a Seventh Level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, who had reached the Body Forging Stage, had a dry mouth and blisters.
Two days later, the final result of the negotiation was revealed, which was quite gratifying. The Mansion of Light had so far obtained the most powerful support at the grassroots level. The Wisdom Sect's powerful network of more than one million followers would be used by them. As the person in charge of the Mansion of Light, Li Nana enjoyed the same authority as the Wisdom Sect's Vice Sect Leader. First of all, she could freely read the sect's information. Except for a few parts that were classified as top secret by Wang Lu, the rest were completely open to her. For Li Nana, the value of this alone was immeasurable. Not to mention the Vice Sect Leader's authority was far more than this. As long as she wanted, she could order the followers to carry out large-scale construction, or collect resources.
Of course, the Wisdom Sect's harvest was not small. The most important point was that the Mansion of Light was willing to provide the Wisdom Sect with the Great Ming Country's official qualification certification!
Using the authority of a Vice Sect Leader in exchange for the Great Ming Country's official recognition seemed to be a big loss, but in fact, for the current Wisdom Sect, the official certification was the most important part. With it, the Wisdom Sect could boldly develop from the countryside to the prefectural city.
In fact, until the two sides reached the cooperation agreement, the Wisdom Sect was an out-and-out cult. Developing in the Great Ming Country's territory, but without the Great Ming Country's approval, and without the registration of the Wanxian League, if this wasn't a cult, then what was? It was actually jackals of the same tribe as the Seven Stars Sect.
However, now that they had the Mansion of Light's approval, the Wisdom Sect had transformed into a legal sect, impressively whitewashed. Even if they wanted to develop followers in the prefectural city or even the capital, they could still confidently do so. And for the current Wisdom Sect, this could be said to be crucial.
Although the number of followers was more than one million, and the momentum of development was still rapid, the bottleneck of the Wisdom Sect was actually not far away. Almost all of the remote villages in the Great Ming Country had been covered by the Wisdom Sect, and some of the smaller counties had already fallen into the enemy's hands — in the eyes of many sects, these areas were not worth paying attention to. As for those rich counties and even prefectural cities, the Wisdom Sect still didn't have the qualification to touch them. If they didn't touch them, that would be fine, but if they did, it would be troublesome. As for developing in other countries, it was even more unreliable. Not everyone could be like the Great Ming Country, who turned a blind eye to the Immortal Cultivation Sect. The tangled attitude of the Great Ming Country's imperial court toward the cultivators was actually a good soil for the rapid development of the Wisdom Sect.
Now that they had the permission from the Mansion of Light, the Wisdom Sect's only bottleneck was no longer there. In the future, the explosive development could also be foreseen. Therefore, after negotiating the cooperation, Wen Bao was extremely excited. That same night, he and his two assistants drank until they were dead drunk — with his cultivation, the mortal world's fine wine was almost useless to him. The dead fatty, on the other hand, drank several hundred spirit stones in one night, extremely extravagant.
Early the next morning, Wen Bao felt a splitting headache. If a small amount of wine that was full of spiritual energy was drunk, not only could it make people relaxed and happy, it could also increase their cultivation level. However, excessive drinking would injure one's primordial spirit. Wen Bao now felt that his primordial spirit, which was initially condensed, showed signs of dispersing. Perhaps, it would be difficult to recover without three to five days of recuperation … However, the two days and nights of negotiations were tiring, and even Qian Hu, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, was physically and mentally exhausted. Since they had agreed to discuss the next step of the cooperation in three days, they still had enough time to rest.
Coming out of the guest room, Wen Bao let out a long yawn and was ready to take a stroll around the city. First, he had nothing to do, and second, he wanted to investigate. In the future, the Wisdom Sect would inevitably set up a branch in the Great Ming Country's capital. As the head of the infrastructure department, he would inevitably be busy, so it was not a bad thing to prepare in advance.
However, before he could walk out of the inn's door, Wen Bao's heart suddenly jumped. His primordial spirit in his Inner Mansion trembled, as if a great horror was about to befall him.
The next moment, a majestic voice sounded in his primordial spirit. "Wen Bao."
This voice was too familiar. In many nightmares, this voice was always the protagonist. Wen Bao immediately felt his chest tighten. "Third Martial Uncle …?"
