"Old Master, do you think Li Zexuan has agreed to Big Brother's request?"
Duke Wei Residence, study room.
Hong Funu held her hair with one hand and swayed in front of Lord Li Jing as she spoke 'wittily'.
Lord Li Jing held his forehead and sighed helplessly. "Chuchen, I think you shouldn't have done that. Little Xuan is also our junior. How could you scheme against him?"
When Hong Funu heard that, her eyes widened and she said loudly, "Scheme? How did I scheme against him? I was only telling him the truth! Could it be that Big Brother didn't save that person called Meng Youliang at sea? From the beginning to the end, did I make up any lies? So how can this be called scheming? "
Lord Li Jing was instantly speechless. He thought to himself that he really couldn't reason with a woman at any time!
Forget it! Just take it as this old man owes that child a favor!
Lord Li Jing sighed in his heart and thought to himself.
.....
"Marquis, benefactor, you two go ahead. If there's a chance in the future, Meng Youliang will visit again!"
Cloud Mountain Residence.
Meng Youliang only sat for a while before he stood up and bid farewell.
He also understood that Li Zexuan and the Dragon-Bearded Guest must have something important to discuss. It wasn't convenient for him to continue disturbing them. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for the fact that the Dragon-Bearded Guest was constantly drifting about and came and went without a trace, he wouldn't have rushed over immediately upon hearing news of the Dragon-Bearded Guest.
"Alright, Uncle Meng, take care!"
Li Zexuan stood up and smiled.
Although he had many questions about how Meng Youliang knew that the Dragon-Bearded Guest was here, the Dragon-Bearded Guest had saved Meng Wenhao's father. This was an irrefutable fact that couldn't be changed no matter what. Everything else didn't seem too important.
After sending Meng Youliang off, there were only two people left in the main hall. An old man and a young man. The two of them stared at each other for a while before Li Zexuan spoke.
"I can give you the map, but you have to promise me one thing!"
The bearded man was overjoyed. Previously, there was no room for negotiation. Now, although there were conditions, there was finally room for negotiation. The difference between the two was not small. Ultimately, it was because he had inadvertently saved the father of Li Zexuan's favorite disciple. Even though Li Zexuan did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he had accepted this favor. Otherwise, his attitude would not have changed like this.
"What conditions?"
The bearded guest hurriedly asked.
Li Zexuan stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and lightly said, "In the previous martial arts competition, it should be considered as your loss, right?"
The bearded man thought about it seriously and then nodded. "That's right, this old man lost!"
Although Li Zexuan and Mo Huai had teamed up to fight him in the end, he had already lost when Li Zexuan forced his acupoints open due to the threat of death coming from Li Zexuan.
A loss was a loss. He, the Bearded Guest, had traversed the four seas. He would never do something so shameless as to refuse to admit his loss.
"Good! Before the martial arts competition, you said that if I lost, you would exterminate my entire family! But in the end, you clearly lost, so it's a different story! "
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
The bearded guest's face darkened. He said impatiently, "Marquis Yong 'an, just tell me what you want! If I can do it, I will definitely do my best! "
When Li Zexuan heard this, he revealed a devilish smile, causing the Curly-Bearded Guest, a great demon who had killed countless people, to tremble in fear.
"This Marquis has always been kind-hearted. I won't do something like exterminating someone's entire family. But since you lost the martial arts competition, you should pay a corresponding price. Moreover, you want this Marquis's sea map, so the price you should pay naturally cannot be low! How about this, as long as you are willing to fulfill your responsibilities as a guard at Yanhuang College for a year, this Marquis will hand over the sea map to you! In addition to this request, after you take this Marquis's sea map, you also need to help this Marquis find a few things overseas. Once you find them, you will send them back to Chang 'an. How about it? Do you agree to these two requests? "
"Be a guard for a year?"
The bearded guest's eyes widened. If it was someone else who said this to him, he would definitely smash that person into a meat patty with his fist! What kind of person was he, the bearded guest,? He was the overlord of the sea! How could he be someone's guard? If this were to spread out, how would he be able to survive in the south?
However, he had no choice but to agree! First of all, he did lose the martial arts competition that day. Logically speaking, Li Zexuan should be the one to make a request. Moreover, that sea map was truly too important to him! After wandering the sea for so many years, no one knew better than him how rich the wealth of the sea was. If he had the help of Li Zexuan's sea map, where in the world could he not go?
"This … Can you change the conditions? For example, this Marquis can use money to buy this sea map! "
The bearded guest said unwillingly.
As for the latter condition, he didn't think much of it. At most, it would just take some effort to find something. However, the first condition was asking for his life. As the Island Master of the 72 Islands, he also wanted his face!
Li Zexuan narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Do you think this Marquis is someone who lacks money? Just these two conditions, there's no way to change them! Senior, you also know that I originally didn't want to negotiate with you. However, now that you're unwilling to agree to my conditions, this Marquis is powerless to do anything! "
Two days ago, other than threatening Li Zexuan's family, the bearded guest also committed another crime, which was to disrupt the order of Cloud Mountain. Accordingly, he had to pay the price and set an example to the people who came after him. He had to let them know that no matter who it was, if they dared to cause trouble in Cloud Mountain, they must be punished!
The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly froze. The bearded guest's face was gloomy. He tapped the table with his finger and didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Li Zexuan didn't rush him. He waved at Lan 'er who was hiding at the stairs. The little girl put away the wooden sword in her hand and ran towards Li Zexuan with a smile. The brother and sister played a childish game of rock, paper, scissors in front of the bearded guest. They were very happy!
After a long time, the bearded guest coughed heavily and said, "Marquis Yong 'an, this Marquis has thousands of brothers under me. This Marquis is not someone who can do whatever I want. This matter is very important. Please give this Marquis one day to consider carefully. Before sunset tomorrow, I will definitely give you an answer!"
Although his martial arts skills were basically unrivaled, he still had to listen to the opinions of his subordinates! Otherwise, what future could he have as a "commander without an army"?
"… Fine! This Marquis will wait for you for one day! "
Li Zexuan nodded.
He didn't expect the bearded guest to not reject such an unreasonable request on the spot. It was really inconceivable!
"Then this Marquis will take his leave first!"
The bearded guest cupped his hands and left. Of course, in the entire courtyard, no one sent him off.
