The bottom line of the Dugu clan had already been revealed by Xiao Chao. It was meaningless for Dugu Yan to feign civility at this time. Therefore, Dugu Yan simply said to Su Xin directly, "Lord Su, this is the bottom line of the Dugu clan. Whether the imperial court agrees or not, just say it."
The Dugu clan's request was so low, of course the imperial court would agree.
The Dugu clan's strength was only equivalent to the Zhou Kingdom. A Yang God Realm existence, more than ten Harmonious God Realm warriors, and thousands of Acquired God Realm warriors were definitely stronger than the three field armies of the Zhou Kingdom combined. Of course, this was only the high-end combat power. The advantage of the three field armies was the tens of thousands of Acquired God Realm warriors that had been carefully trained.
Therefore, Su Xin directly nodded and said, "The Dugu clan's request is low enough. There should be no problem. However, Brother Dugu, you also know that this kind of big matter is not something that I can decide. We need to return to the imperial court and get the approval of all the lords."
Dugu Yan nodded. It was normal for Su Xin to do this, and it was not excessive. Therefore, Dugu Yan stood up and cupped his hands towards Su Xin, saying, "Lord Su, since this is the case, we will take our leave. We will trouble you with this matter, Lord Su."
Just as Dugu Yan was about to leave, Su Xin suddenly asked, "Brother Dugu, logically speaking, Lord Tie's status is higher than mine, and his experience is incomparable to mine. His words in the imperial court are also more powerful than mine. Why do you have to find me?"
When he heard this, Dugu Yan immediately revealed an awkward smile. He stuttered, "Well, isn't it because Lord Su has dealings with my Dugu Clan before? That's why we came to look for you."
Seeing Dugu Yan's expression, Su Xin immediately understood what was going on. He waved his hand to let Dugu Yan leave, but he was sneering in his heart.
Why did the people of the Dugu Clan look for him and not Tie Zhan? This matter was not decided by Dugu Yan, but by Dugu Cheng. The reason was very simple, it was because he was young.
Although the Dugu clan had a bottom line, they didn't want to expose this bottom line to the imperial court, so they sent Dugu Yan to bargain with the imperial court.
After learning that Su Xin and Tie Zhan were the ones on this mission to the Golden Horde Kingdom, they immediately set their sights on Su Xin.
Tie Zhan was an old member of the Six Fan School. Despite his boorish appearance and slightly irritable temper, he was actually an astute and astute person. Dugu Yan was definitely no match for him.
That was why Dugu Cheng asked Dugu Yan to set his sights on Su Xin. Although he admitted that Su Xin was strong, Su Xin was still young after all. There were many twists and turns in this matter. Bargaining with Su Xin would definitely be easier than bargaining with Tie Zhan.
It was just that Dugu Cheng didn't expect Su Xin to be so difficult to deal with, and Dugu Yan to be so useless. In the end, Xiao Chao revealed everything, so they had calculated for nothing.
After walking out of Su Xin's tent, Dugu Yan didn't say much. He also didn't blame Xiao Chao for revealing the Dugu clan's bottom line.
Even if it wasn't for Xiao Chao this time, if he really failed to negotiate with Su Xin, he would probably be the one to be punished when he returned.
Just as Dugu Yan and Xiao Chao were about to return to their own tents, a figure appeared in front of them.
This figure was dressed in a luxurious robe. His face was handsome, but there were two slightly ridiculous moustaches on his lips. It was the seventh master of the Xiao clan, Xiao Wuji.
Seeing Xiao Chao, a complicated expression appeared on Xiao Wuji's face. He sighed and said, "Little sister."
At this time, Dugu Yan also reacted. He hurriedly bowed to Xiao Wuji and said, "Seventh master."
Although he married Xiao Chao and was related to the Xiao clan by marriage, and Xiao Wuji's generation was his brother-in-law, Dugu Yan didn't dare to be disrespectful in front of them, especially the unfathomable Xiao Wuji in front of him.
Although Xiao Wuji's presence in the Xiao clan was extremely strong, it was obvious that this person was definitely not simple.
In this generation of the Xiao clan, Xiao Huang's father, Xiao Wusheng, Xiao Wuji, and the others were all in their prime, but only four of them had broken through to the Yang God Realm. Xiao Wuji was the second, second only to Xiao Wusheng.
Moreover, no one knew when he had broken through to the Yang God Realm. Everyone only knew that Seventh Master Xiao, who had not been seen for a long time, had broken through to the Yang God Realm by chance.
Xiao Wuji was able to break through to the Yang God Realm in this generation of the Xiao clan, and his speed was second only to Xiao Wusheng.
However, at this time, facing Dugu Yan, his brother-in-law, Xiao Wuji seemed to be very impatient. He grunted and waved his hand, indicating that he should leave first and not get in the way here.
Dugu Yan didn't dare to be impudent. He quickly cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Part of the reason why he was able to sit firmly in the position of the Dugu clan leader was because he had married Xiao Chao and had the Xiao clan's strong support.
Moreover, even without this important relationship, Xiao Wuji, who was already at the Yang God Realm and had unfathomable strength, was not someone he dared to offend.
After Dugu Yan left, Xiao Wuji stretched out his hand and pointed. Suddenly, a phantom of a Taotie appeared behind him. It opened its big mouth and enveloped Xiao Chao and Xiao Wuji, isolating the surrounding power. The phantom of the Taotie also slowly dissipated, but outsiders could only see an empty space.
Xiao Wuji's move was the same as Su Xin's previous method of creating a domain with his aura. They were both very simple.
Xiao Chao looked at Xiao Wuji coldly and sneered, "Hey, hey, hey, isn't this Seventh Master Xiao of the Xiao clan? Why can't you say it face to face? Why do you have to be so mysterious?"
Xiao Wuji usually looked lazy, but at this time, he said with a little helplessness, "Little sister, are you still not willing to forgive us? In fact, we are doing this for your own good. You are destined to have no future with that person. It is impossible for the daughter of the Xiao clan to marry a rogue cultivator.
And you saw later, that person is simply a coward. He only knows how to escape. He didn't dare to come when you got married and instead fled overseas. Now he is either dead or struggling at death's door overseas. "
Xiao Chao's eyes became extremely cold, "Is this the reason why you listened to those old farts and wanted me to marry that trash, Dugu Yan?"
Xiao Wuji said helplessly, "That thing is controlled by the six great families in turn. The ancestors wanted you to marry someone from the Shangguan clan in exchange for ten years of ownership of that thing. But who would have thought that you would marry that trash, Dugu Yan? He wasn't even the head of the family. Why do you have to do this?"
Xiao Chao said faintly, "Is there any difference between marrying someone from the Shangguan clan and marrying Dugu Yan? In any case, I'm just an object to be traded. I married Dugu Yan to tell you that even if Dugu Yan is a good-for-nothing, I can still help him become the Patriarch. And I, Xiao Chuo, am far more important than that object! "
Xiao Wuji said helplessly, "Little sister, no one treats you as an item to be traded. Big brother and I just want to help you find a good home. Among the six great families, the Shangguan clan will definitely not disgrace you. If the elders had chosen another family, big brother and I would definitely not have agreed."
Xiao Chao looked at Xiao Wuji with no expression on his face. "Isn't it cheap to sell me to the Shangguan Family? I said that I am much more important than that thing. In the future, I will personally go to the Xiao clan to prove this point, and it won't be too long. "
"How are you going to prove it?" Xiao Wuji frowned.
Xiao Chao revealed a bright smile, very bright and beautiful, "Of course it's to destroy the future of the Xiao clan. The Xiao clan destroyed my future, so I will destroy the Xiao clan's future sooner or later. This is very reasonable, isn't it?"
Xiao Wuji didn't know why, but when he saw the current Xiao Chao, he felt that she was extremely unfamiliar. The woman with the bright smile in front of him was like a different person from the little sister of the Xiao clan in his memory.
After saying this, Xiao Chao pushed Xiao Wuji away and directly left. Xiao Wuji also sighed and shook his head.
His little sister had been unwilling to admit defeat since young. Now that she had married into the Dugu clan, she had completely played Dugu Yan in the palm of her hand. With her ability, it was even possible for her to completely control the Dugu clan in the future.
However, it didn't matter. Even if Xiao Chao controlled the Dugu clan and caused trouble for the Xiao clan, it didn't matter. With the little strength of the Dugu clan, even if Xiao Chao controlled the Dugu clan, it wouldn't be a threat to the Xiao clan. At most, it would just be a little trouble.
Most importantly, with the rise of Xiao Wuji's generation, the older generation of the Xiao clan had gradually retired. They had gradually taken over the power of the Xiao clan. At that time, even if Xiao Chao caused any trouble, they would be able to suppress it and not let Xiao Chao be punished.
In the early morning of the next day, because all the major forces had arrived, the Golden Horde Kingdom informed everyone that the Saber Snatching Competition would begin that day. It would be held next to the Tianhu.
The entire Tianhu had been surrounded by countless big tents. In the northernmost part, a huge arena had been built. Half of the surrounding space was given to the martial artists of the Central Plains, and the other half was reserved for the people of the Golden Horde Kingdom.
The people of the Golden Horde Kingdom were certainly not as dignified and magnificent as the people of the Zhou Kingdom, but it was full of a wild and primitive atmosphere.
Su Xin could see that there were all kinds of totems erected on the side of the Golden Horde Kingdom. There were wolf heads, black flags, hills, and so on, representing the entire eight tribes of the grassland.
This time, the eight tribes of the grassland would naturally send people to the Saber Snatching Competition. However, the strength of the eight tribes of the grassland was also different. The two tribes ranked at the bottom did not even have warriors in the Yang God Realm.
Among them, Xiao Gudu of the Black Flag Tribe did not come because he had been seriously injured by Su Xin. However, the other two warriors in the Yang God Realm of the Black Flag Tribe looked deeply at Su Xin with a trace of ferocity in their eyes.
Xiao Gudu had a personal grudge against Su Xin, but the grudge between them and Su Xin had been implicated because of Xiao Gudu.
After all, Xiao Gudu was a warrior in the Yang God Realm of the Black Flag Tribe. In the end, he had been seriously injured by Su Xin in front of the other people of the Golden Horde Kingdom. This made the Black Flag Tribe lose face, so the grudge was naturally formed.
