Bo Yuanzhi was about to continue speaking when he was almost choked by Xiao Bai's words. He pointed at Xiao Bai and said, "Young Master Su, this is meaningless. Even if you can befriend the Wang Clan, there are many clans in Ancient River City. I believe that Young Master Su and your brother's vision is not so narrow. If you want to establish a foothold in Ancient River City, you should at least make more friends, right? Or is it that Young Master Su still holds a grudge against what happened before? If you really can't do it, you can beat me up to vent your anger. How about that? "
"Really?" Shirō Makino's eyes immediately lit up.
Bo Yuanzhi's mouth twitched. Looking at Xiao Bai's eager expression, he thought to himself, Damn it, are you a devil? Why did you only hear the last sentence? Didn't you hear what I said before? Besides, I was just saying, how can you take such things seriously?
"Ahem … I was just saying." Bo Yuanzhi revealed an awkward smile.
"Oh." Shirō Makino immediately lost interest.
Bo Yuanzhi sighed and restrained the awkward smile on his face. He looked at Shirō Makino seriously and said, "Young Master Su, I'm afraid that I can't hide my arrival from the Wang Clan's spies. Say, after I return, I will let people spread the news that you are a super powerful Formation Divine Talisman Master who can trap the five Almighty Emperors. Not only did you cooperate with the Wang Clan, but you also flirted with my Bo Clan, hoping to gain huge benefits from it … How do you think the Wang Clan and the other forces in Ancient River City will react?"
"They will probably … be a little angry?" Shirō Makino said hesitantly.
"Aren't you afraid?" Bo Yuanzhi looked at Shirō Makino and asked.
Sun Ting raised her eyebrows and looked at Bo Yuanzhi coldly, "Steward Bo, are you threatening us?"
"Young Lady Su is too serious. How could it be a threat? I am just stating a fact. Let's not talk about the other forces. "
Bo Yuanzhi said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you've agreed to cooperate with my Bo Family today. So long as the Wang Family knows that I've come to talk to you, they will definitely be wary of you!"
Bo Yuanzhi looked at Sun Ting, then at Shirō Makino. "Don't think that it's easy to take the Wang family's things. Their things are very troublesome."
"You don't have to worry about that. Please go back. I would never dare to agree to such a condition." Shirō Makino sent him off with a smile.
"Young Master Su, let me ask you one last time. There's no room for negotiation, is there?" Bo Yuanzhi's smile disappeared as he looked at Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino shook his head.
"You are afraid of offending the Wang Family and the Bo Family? Aren't you afraid of offending all the forces in Ancient River City? "Bo Yuanzhi looked at Shirō Makino with a faint smile.
"If I agree, I will be helping you to ruin the Wang Family. This is a grudge that will not end until one of us dies." Shirō Makino looked at Bo Yuanzhi. "We refuse to do this with you. It's not a grudge that will end until one of us dies, right?"
"Haha, Young Master Su is really naive!" Bo Yuanzhi laughed. "Do you think that you can still extricate yourselves from this matter?"
Bo Yuanzhi looked at Sun Ting, who had an ugly expression on her face, and chuckled. "Young Lady Su, you don't have to be so agitated. Since you've taken resources from the Wang Family recently, those who have received resources should be doing their best to improve themselves, right?
"Based on your cultivation base, even if you improve yourself to the peak, what realm can you reach? Di San? Di Si? For a force like yours, a single Di Wu would be able to wipe you all out. "
As he spoke, Bo Yuanzhi looked at Xiao Bai. "Young Master Su's attainments in the Spirit Formation Path are indeed amazing. You can even trap a powerful Di Wu. But so what? To the big clans in Ancient River City, wiping out a small force like yours is just a matter of a thought. "
He smiled. "I'm not threatening you. I'm just stating a fact. So, I hope that you and your sister can seriously consider whether you want to work with us. Mm, I'll give you a day to think about it. Tomorrow, I'll come here again. I hope that I'll be able to hear a satisfactory answer by then. Otherwise, don't worry. This news will definitely spread like wildfire! "
"Also, after this matter is done, I'll definitely give you a lot of benefits. However, I advise you to give up on the unrealistic idea of demanding an exorbitant price like you did just now. "
"Haha, so that's the purpose of Steward Bo's visit today. Alright, I understand." Shirō Makino nodded with a friendly expression. "My sister and I will definitely discuss this."
"Haha, I believe that Young Master Su is a smart person and will make the right choice that's most beneficial to you." As Bo Yuanzhi spoke, he walked out. He stopped after two steps and did not turn back. "Oh right, you can also talk to the Wang Clan about this. However, if you do that, it's hard to say whether they believe you or not … But the Bo Clan and your group of people will have no room for negotiation."
His ferocious and greedy face was completely exposed.
After Bo Yuanzhi left, Bai Xiuyuan and the rest came to the guest hall and listened to Sun Ting's summary of what had just happened. They were all very angry.
Lin Quansheng frowned and shouted in a low voice, "That's too much!"
Pei Jing was also very angry. She said coldly, "It seems that it's not strange that the Bo Clan would go back on their word. They're too shameless!"
"Why do I feel that there's something wrong with this?" Zuoqiu Yun frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "Don't you think that the Bo Clan's method this time is a little too crude?"
"Haven't they always been like this? They directly took back the manors they sold us; they even sent people to steal the medicines they returned to us … It's not strange that they're doing this now, is it? "Sun Ting said from the side.
"No, it's still not quite right. Since they know that we're cooperating with the Wang Clan, they should know that the Wang Clan will definitely be furious if we tell them about this." Zuoqiu Yun frowned. "But don't you think that the Bo Clan's steward seems to want us to tell the Wang Clan about this?"
Bai Xiuyuan nodded in agreement. He felt that his wife had finally found some of the feelings she had in the past.
Shirō Makino smiled. "He's sure that we won't do that."
"Why?" Sun Ting looked at Shirō Makino in confusion.
Even though she was a participant from the beginning to the end, she still did not understand the crux of the matter.
From her understanding, the Bo Clan was shameless. They did not want to give money, and still wanted Xiao Bai to work for them. What he did was something that would completely offend the Wang Clan.
"Because if we take the initiative to look for them, the Wang Clan will not believe us. They might even suspect our intentions." Shirō Makino sighed softly.
"Why won't they believe us?" Sun Ting asked with a blank expression.
"If he visits them openly, it won't be difficult for the Wang Clan to find out. Then, we'll go and tell the Wang Clan … The Bo Clan wants to take advantage of the opportunity when you seize the medicine to get me to use a formation to trap the Wang Clan. How likely do you think the Wang Clan will believe us? "Shirō Makino looked at Sun Ting.
"This, I think it's very likely! The two clans are not on good terms. "Sun Ting said.
"It's true that they have planted spies in each other, but if you say that they are not on good terms … this information is not accurate." Shirō Makino glanced at Sun Ting. "I reckon that you haven't gone to understand the clans in Ancient River City recently. The four families of Wang, Pan, Bu, and Gu have been connected by marriage for generations. Their entanglements are not something that can be explained with just a few words. "
"If we go and tell the Wang Clan about this now, even if they believe us on the surface, they will privately think that we are using them to attack the Bo Clan, or that they are greedy and want to increase the price at the last minute."
"But if Bo Yuanzhi really does as he says, what good will it do for them?" Sun Ting was at a loss. She felt even more confused.
Zuoqiu Yun said faintly, "That old fox Bo Yuanzhi is just trying to lower the price. Using the smallest price to achieve the greatest goal. "
Pei Jing frowned and murmured, "So Bo Yuanzhi actually knows that Xiao Bai will not agree to their ridiculous cooperation, so he deliberately said that?"
"Oh my god, I still can't understand the cause and effect of this. Can any of you explain it to me?" Sun Ting felt like she was about to break down.
She looked at Shirō Makino for help.
Shirō Makino muttered, "Bo Yuanzhi is indeed threatening us to cooperate with the Bo Clan. Although he did not say it clearly, he kept reminding me of one thing."
Sun Ting frowned, "What is it?"
Shirō Makino muttered, "The news of the Wang Clan cooperating with us cannot have been released by us."
Sun Ting nodded, "Of course, we are not stupid."
Shirō Makino said, "Then it can only have been spread by the Wang Clan. But the problem is that they even know that I used a spirit formation to trap the Wang Clan's five Great Ancestors. This is a little scary. Because at that time, only me, Sister Ting, the Wang Clan Master, and the five Great Ancestors were there. Who do you think can hide in front of the five Great Ancestors and watch from a close distance? "
"Almost no one can do that, not to mention that it was a miasma area. To see what happened clearly, you have to be very close." Sun Ting said.
"You are right. So, who leaked the news?" Shirō Makino said with a smile.
Sun Ting could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. She looked at Shirō Makino in disbelief, "This news definitely cannot have been released by us. So you mean … there is something fishy about the Wang Clan Master and the five Great Ancestors, and they passed the news to the Bo Clan?"
Shirō Makino nodded, "Although I also feel that this speculation is quite ridiculous, but after eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining one, no matter how ridiculous, should be the closest to the truth."
"This, this is too …" Sun Ting was dumbfounded. She did not dare to believe that the absolute core members of the Wang Clan would betray their own interests.
"If the truth is as we have deduced, then this matter is much simpler." Shirō Makino looked at Sun Ting, "Among the six insiders in the Wang Clan, someone secretly passed the news to the Bo Clan and told them about my methods. After the Bo Clan heard this, they wanted to interfere and secretly stop me."
"Bo Yuanzhi only has one goal here, to drag us down and force me to cooperate with them."
"And he doesn't want to pay any price."
"By revealing this matter, he is actually telling us that they have a spy among the core members of the Wang Clan!"
Sun Ting frowned, "I still don't understand. If we go and tell the Wang Clan now, will they really not suspect anything?"
Shirō Makino shook his head, "They will suspect, but more likely they will think that we are trying to sow discord. Of course, there is another possibility, which is that they will suspect that we leaked the news and want to profit from it. "
"How could that be?" Sun Ting was furious.
Shirō Makino smiled bitterly, "Bo Zhiyuan is very confident, which means that the person who passed the news to them has a high position in the Wang Clan, and is deeply trusted. No one will believe that he betrayed the Wang Clan. Even if we tell them, before the truth is revealed, no one will believe us. He knows this, which is why he doesn't care. "
Bai Xiuyuan and Lin Quansheng looked at each other, a look of relief in their eyes.
The children have indeed grown up!
Lin Quansheng said, "Yes, even the Wang Clan can't believe this is true."
Zuoqiu Yun said, "They don't dare."
"These people are really too scary!" Sun Ting took a deep breath, a gloomy look on her face, then looked at Shirō Makino, "Then … what do we do now?"
"Wait." Shirō Makino said.
"Wait for who?" Sun Ting looked at him.
"Wait for the Wang Clan first, then the Bo Clan," Shirō Makino sighed, "They won't believe us if we go there and tell them, but if they come …"
Bo Clan.
After Bo Yuanzhi returned, the first thing he did was to secretly meet with the Bo Clan Master.
"How did it go?"
"That kid is too greedy, asking for a hundred million-tiered spirit herbs and eighty million-tiered spirit herbs."
"Is he crazy?" The Bo Clan Master couldn't help but curse.
"That's why I dug a trap for him, to make him afraid." Bo Yuanzhi took a deep breath.
"Dug a trap?" The Bo Clan Master looked at Bo Yuanzhi.
Bo Yuanzhi then told him about his meeting with Shirō Makino.
The Bo Clan Master frowned, then sighed, "Spreading the news all over the city is definitely not a good idea, it won't do us any good. But if that kid really went to the Wang Clan to tell them about this, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be suspicious. "
"It's normal for them to be suspicious, but the problem is, who can they suspect? Who would they dare to suspect? Five Old Ancestors Di Wu? Or the Wang Clan Master? They will only suspect that the Su Clan sister and brother sold the news to us! "Bo Yuanzhi said.
"So the Wang Clan will soon send someone to ask them about this?" The Bo Clan Master said.
"Yes, Prince Su and his sister … definitely won't dare to tell them my intentions." Bo Yuanzhi said calmly, "When the time comes, I will look for them in secret, and this matter will most likely be settled!"
"What if that kid still refuses to agree?" The Bo Clan Master asked.
"He won't dare. He will definitely guess that someone inside the Wang Clan gave us the news, but he doesn't know who that person is." Bo Yuanzhi chuckled, "He's a smart person, he will know what to choose. If he's not smart enough, then I will remind him, say … we will directly seek cooperation from the Wang Clan, then sell him, saying that he leaked the news to us. "
The Bo Clan Master thought about it, then smiled, "That's true, no one inside the Wang Clan will think of who sold the news to us. They … won't dare to suspect any of the six people!"
"Sigh, if that kid wasn't so black-hearted and difficult to deal with, and obediently cooperated, I wouldn't have to use this method on him." Bo Yuanzhi sighed, then looked at the Clan Master and said, "So, you have to reward me."
"You old brat, you only know how to ask for benefits all day long." The Bo Clan Master pointed at him.
"At critical moments, I really can be useful!" Bo Yuanzhi chuckled.
The Bo Clan Master couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Less than two hours after Bo Yuanzhi left, someone entered the manor through the back door, following the vegetable delivery cart.
Not long after, Shirō Makino met the Wang Clan Master in the secret room.
Previously, the person who came was the Clan Master's trusted aide, but this time, it was the Wang Clan Master himself. It was clear how important this matter was to them.
"What is Bo Yuanzhi doing here?"
After meeting, the Wang Clan Master got straight to the point, looking at Shirō Makino with a dark expression.
"Can I trust you?" Shirō Makino was equally direct.
"What do you mean by that?" The Wang Clan Master frowned.
"The Bo Clan knows about my cooperation with you." Unlike what Bo Zhiyuan had expected, Xiao Bai directly revealed the matter.
"What do you mean?" When the Wang Clan Master heard this, he exploded.
"The news was leaked from your Wang Clan." Shirō Makino looked at the Wang Clan Master calmly, "There's a traitor in your clan."
"Bullshit!" The Wang Clan Master was furious, pointing at Shirō Makino, "You suspect that there's a traitor among me and the five Ancestor Emperors Five?"
"Take your hand back." Shirō Makino looked at him, "If you still want to understand this matter."
At the same time, Shirō Makino was using his powerful Psychic Power to monitor the Wang Clan Master's Psychic Power. He found that the Wang Clan Master was indeed shocked by this matter. The Psychic Power that was instantly enraged was very calm. If it was a disguise, there would be a slight fluctuation.
In front of a Psychic Power expert, no one was a Best Actor.
The Wang Clan Master took a deep breath and looked at Shirō Makino, "You better explain yourself."
Shirō Makino explained everything in detail, not hiding anything.
"So, you originally planned to cooperate with them?" After hearing this, the Wang Clan Master did not rush to ask anything else. Instead, he asked this question.
"Of course. Only a fool would pass up money." Shirō Makino looked at the Wang Clan Master calmly.
"Then, what do you think the Wang Clan is?" The Wang Clan Master's voice was cold. "Do you really think that the Wang Clan is easy to bully?"
"Speak properly. You are the Clan Master. If you can't calm down, I even suspect that you are in cahoots with the Bu Clan." Shirō Makino looked at him and said.
The Wang Clan Master was so angry that he was breathing heavily. He stared coldly at Shirō Makino and only calmed down after a while.
"At first, I thought that they came looking for me because they realized that I was a powerful Talisman Artist in the previous battle and wanted to cooperate with me. Of course, I wouldn't let go of such an opportunity. I didn't agree to only work for your Wang Clan. " Shirō Makino looked at the Wang Clan Master and said honestly, "But when I found out what they wanted me to do, I rejected them on the spot without any hesitation."
"At least you have some sense." The Wang Clan Master gritted his teeth.
"So, the entire process was like this. I didn't agree to their request. But how they knew that I could trap Old Ancestor Di Wu, I really don't know. I admit that a few of my family members know about this, but there's no reason for us to tell others about it. " Shirō Makino looked at the Wang Clan Master sincerely, "Be it your Wang Clan, the Bu Clan, or the other factions in Ancient River City, they can easily crush us. I want to get some benefits from the other clans, but the prerequisite is that it doesn't affect our cooperation. I still have this bit of integrity. "
The Wang Clan Master said, "Then what do you think now?"
Shirō Makino smiled, "You're wrong. This isn't about what I think, but what you want?"
"I …"
The patriarch of the Wang Family looked at Bai Muye in disbelief. He was the patriarch of the Wang Family. Only a madman would betray his family's interests. The five old ancestors in the Fifth Emperor Realm had no reason to betray their family's interests!
Were they crazy?
And those five Emperor Realm Old Ancestors had nothing to do with the Bu Clan!
"Does anyone know that you're here today?" Shirō Makino asked.
"No one knows." The Wang Clan Master shook his head, then said, "But didn't the Bu Clan guess it already?"
"It doesn't matter if he guessed it, as long as no one saw you come." Shirō Makino looked at the Wang Clan Master, "If you trust me, we can come up with a plan. Not only will the Bu Clan's efforts be in vain, but we can also expose the person who betrayed your Wang Clan!"
The Wang Clan Master looked at Shirō Makino, "What do you want to do?"
Shirō Makino smiled, "Bo Yuanzhi's proposal to use talisman arrays to trap your Wang Clan is definitely nonsense. They'd be crazy to provoke you like that."
"But since he knows that I'm an expert in talisman arrays, he'll definitely use this to plot against you."
"When the time comes, send a trustworthy person to bring me there in advance. I'll make some arrangements first. After I make some arrangements, tell your people how to activate and use the talisman arrays. "
"If I'm not wrong, the Bu Clan's goal is to use my talisman arrays to set up an ambush and trap other experts. Then, they'll send a large number of peak experts to work with the person who's secretly in contact with them to steal the great medicine!"
The Wang Clan Master looked at Shirō Makino and said, "How can I trust that you won't lie to me?"
Shirō Makino smiled, "I'll hand over my entire clan to you. When the time comes, you can send someone to watch over them. How about that?"
The Wang Clan Master frowned slightly. He still didn't dare to trust this kid.
"My parents are here. If you don't believe me, I'll call them out for you to see?" Shirō Makino said.
"Alright! Let me see! "The Wang Clan Master really didn't trust Shirō Makino.
Then, a middle-aged man and woman who looked very similar to Shirō Makino came out.
Bai Xiuyuan still had some doubts on his face, "Son, why did you call us?"
At this moment, Shirō Makino and his family were wearing the family outfit made by Master Hua …
Although the Wang Clan Master had a high cultivation base, he didn't know much about things like human skin masks. These things weren't very popular in the Milky Way. People usually distinguished people based on their energy waves. What was the use of wearing a mask?
Therefore, sometimes, the simplest trick could be the most useful.
The Wang Clan Master sized up Bai Xiuyuan and Zuoqiu Yun for a while, then waved his hand.
Shirō Makino smiled apologetically at his parents, "It's fine. You can go back first."
"You …" Zuoqiu Yun frowned and seemed a little unhappy.
However, after taking a look at the Wang Clan Master, she turned around and left.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
The Wang Clan Master looked at Shirō Makino and said coldly, "You'd better not play any tricks on me. Your sister and everyone else must stay in this manor. I'll send people to keep an eye on them. If you dare to lie to me, they'll all die! "
Shirō Makino smiled, "Don't worry. I don't have the ability to steal the great medicine, and I won't abandon so many of my family and friends."
"Alright, that's what you said. I'll remember it. Now, tell me about your plan," the Wang Clan Master said in a low voice.
After a while, he looked at Shirō Makino, "Do you think this will be okay?"
"Of course." Shirō Makino had a look of certainty on his face.
"You're basically holding our fates in your hands." The Wang Clan Master's voice became even lower.
"First, you can choose not to use it. If you do, I'll completely give up on working with the Bo Clan. During this period, you must protect me and my family's safety. But this way, I'm afraid that the traitor will never be found. "
Shirō Makino looked at the Wang Clan Master, "Second, my talisman formation can only trap those people, but it can't do anything to them. So you're wrong to say that your fates are in my hands. On the contrary, my life and that of my family and friends will always be in your hands. I'm a Talisman Artist who hasn't broken through to the Overlord stage. What real threat can I bring to you? "
The Wang Clan Master thought for a moment, then nodded. He looked at Shirō Makino and said again, "Remember, don't play any tricks on us. Also, don't think that your talisman formation is invincible. Even without you, we still have a high chance of success! "
"Yes, you're right." Shirō Makino's attitude was very good.
In reality, only a ghost would believe such words. A Formation Talisman Artist who could trap one of the Great Five of the Emperors definitely had the ability to play an important role in this fight. He could even be a decisive person!
Otherwise, how stupid would the Wang Clan be to pay such a huge price? Did they really think that they had too many great medicines to scatter everywhere?
After sending the Wang Clan Master away, the next morning, Bo Yuanzhi followed another car into the manor.
