An exchange of interests
The Attendant brought out the dishes one by one, Huo Lie picked up his wine glass and announced the start of lunch.
"Young friend Wu, I have just considered your proposal. I can agree on behalf of Wushuang and Xiao Wu (Huo Wu), but for my nephew Xiaotian, you will have to discuss it with me personally."
Wu Qi didn't understand why he had changed his attitude, but essentially there was no difference.
However, they simply passed the buck to Feng Changlin.
Feng Changlin had the appearance of an elderly scholar, but a hint of cunning lurked between his brows.
"Young friend Wu, Xiaotian has expressed a strong personal desire to join your team, and I don't object in principle."
"But you should understand that Xiaotian is the soul of our Godwind Academy Team. Without him, the academy's strength will inevitably be greatly reduced."
Wu Qi could not deny this point.
In the Original Space-Time, only Feng Xiaotian left his name in the entire Godwind Academy Team, and in the competition, they relied entirely on Feng Xiaotian to defeat all their opponents almost single-handedly.
Wu Qi, having come prepared, feigned ignorance and said, "Senior Feng should understand what kind of chemical reaction will occur between Wind Attribute Soul Master and Fire Attribute Soul Master."
" With Xiaotian and the other two joining my team, it's not impossible for your two families to join forces and form a team together."
Feng Changlin clearly didn't buy it, and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then why can't we let Xiaotian?"
Wu Qi glanced at him and said, "I can help Xiaotian perfect his Self-Created Soul Skill in a short time."
Back then, when the Spirit Hall attacked the Clear Sky Sect, they obtained quite a few cultivation manuals for the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
Unfortunately, there are very few Soul Master with hammer-type Martial Soul, making this manual difficult to replicate and cultivate.
Over the years, the Enshrined Elders have used this as a reference to cultivate a variety of Self-Created Soul Skill.
Among them, the Azure Luan Douluo's Spirit Luan Martial Void Art was originally an incomplete Self-Created Soul Skill, which was completely perfected through this technique.
Feng Xiaotian's Self-Created Soul Skill is essentially a method of stacking force. With the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer as a blueprint, coupled with Feng Xiaotian's own comprehension, perfecting it in a short time is not a problem.
Wu Qi had already explained this matter in his letter, and he would bring it with him when Azure Luan Douluo arrived.
Feng Changlin smiled and remained silent, thus making his stance clear.
He was very satisfied with this exchange of benefits.
First, Feng Xiaotian himself admitted that Wu Qi possessed a similar Self-Created Soul Skill, and the latter was not exaggerating.
Furthermore, Feng Xiaotian spent nearly nine years developing this Self-Created Soul Skill, becoming completely obsessed with it.
With Wu Qi's successful experience, he overcame his inner demons, and his future cultivation will surely be twice as effective.
Feng Xiaotian is the future heir of the Feng Family, and his interests are the interests of the family.
Huo Lie originally planned to work with Feng Changlin, with one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
But now, the other side has completely given up, so what's the point of singing?
He glanced at the other man, then faced Wu Qi directly. "Young friend Wu, shouldn't we be more balanced in our dealings?"
Wu Qi smiled and replied, "Join my team, and I can guarantee that their strength will break through rapidly in a short period of time."
Huo Lie wanted to raise questions, but Wu Qi himself was a perfect example.
It doesn't affect Talent and can quickly improve one's strength, which is absolutely irresistible to any Soul Master.
As an old man who has become shrewd, he naturally wouldn't concern himself with the process, as long as the result was satisfactory.
Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang are both future heirs of their respective families.
The two sides already had a deep friendship, and if the Immortal Herb were given to him, he would be completely bound to Wu Qi's chariot.
As I said before, the Immortal Herb only has value when it is converted into combat power for our own people.
However, these benefits alone were clearly not enough to satisfy Huo Lie's appetite.
"When you leave later, Wushuang and Xiao Wu (Huo Wu) will go back with you. Don't worry about the school registration; I trust that old fellow Meng Shenji will handle it."
"However, I have another matter I hope you can assist me with."
Yesterday, Wu Qi had mentally rehearsed all possible scenarios.
The Wind, Water, and Fire Families were originally noble families who also occupied a city, so they had no shortage of most of their material needs.
Soul Bone are definitely a valuable commodity, and no one would complain about having too many. However, it's clearly inappropriate for Huo Lie, at his age, to ask a junior like him for Soul Bone.
Therefore, the only obstacle now facing the Wind, Water, and Fire Families is the Elephant Armor Sect.
Hearing Huo Lie's explanation, Wu Qi chuckled to himself; Huo Lie had indeed guessed correctly.
He shrugged, feigning helplessness, "Senior, you're asking the impossible. Even if I'm strong, I'm only Soul Ancestor. How can I possibly contend against the Elephant Armor Sect, which is guarded by multiple Soul Douluo?"
Huo Lie was well aware of his attitude, but he had no intention of letting him off the hook. "This matter is none of my concern. I know you have a good relationship with His Crown Prince. May I ask if you could introduce me to His Crown Prince?"
No sect would ever consider opposing the empire.
If Xue Qinghe were to intervene, the Elephant Armor Sect would be hesitant to act rashly and would restrain its behavior.
However, given Xue Qinghe's status, it would be difficult for him to win over the three major families. Moreover, Wu Qi didn't want the fat meat in his mouth to slip away.
"I can have Senior Poison Douluo step in and give the Elephant Armor Sect, what do you think?" After thinking for a moment, Wu Qi said.
His affair with Dugu Bo did not become public knowledge.
After all, no one would dare to spread rumors about being Titled Douluo so easily.
Shui Ningbing, though unconvinced, still maintained a benevolent demeanor. "Young friend Wu, I know you have ability. But Dugu Bo is treacherous and cunning; he cannot be trusted."
"You can't get involved with him, otherwise..."
"Or what?" A sharp voice came from the void, penetrating straight into the soul.
When he came to his senses, Dugu Bo appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.
The three Clan Head, Feng, Shui, and Huo, were greatly alarmed and immediately knelt on One Knee to express their respect, saying, "We greet Your Excellency Dugu."
In terms of age, the three of them were all older than Dugu Bo.
But in the Spirit Master world, age doesn't matter; the strong are respected!
Dugu Bo walked up to Wu Qi and stopped, clearly indicating that he was going to support the other party.
The three Clan Head, Feng, Shui, and Huo, quickly exchanged glances, finally understanding the source of Wu Qi's confidence.
Indeed, as the leader of the Lower Four Sects, the Elephant Armor Sect possesses considerable strength.
However, there is no titled expert residing within its sect.
It's enough to intimidate them when facing a true Titled Douluo.
"Your Excellency Dugu, I was presumptuous. Please forgive me." Shui Ningbing adopted a very humble attitude.
Dugu Bo snorted lightly and didn't pursue the matter further.
With someone backing him up, Wu Qi naturally felt more confident and said with a smile, "Three Clan Head, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."
"Even if we drive away the Elephant Armor Sect, there might still be the Turtle Armor Sect, the Iron Armor Sect, and so on in the future."
"I can help you once, but not forever. What will I do in the future?"
The three of them had considered this question.
But right now, being able to solve the problem of the Elephant Armor Sect is already a stroke of luck; how could we dare to ask for anything else?
"Judging from what you're saying, young friend Wu, you have a solution?"
Feng Changlin was quick-witted and immediately understood.
Dugu Bo sneered, "With your three blockheads, you wouldn't know the reason even if you racked your brains!"
