Faced with the stakes Miao Shan had offered, Chen Changsheng finally wiped the mockery from his face and said flatly,
"Come in!"
Boom!
The gates slowly opened, and Miao Shan entered the massive fortress.
Atop the city wall.
A cup of hot tea was offered before Miao Shan.
"Please!"
Miao Shan merely glanced at the hot tea Chen Changsheng offered him, without picking up the cup before him.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled. "What, afraid I poisoned it?"
"Is that not something you would do?"
"If you will not drink tea, then let us discuss business."
"You say you wish to pledge yourself to me. Why should I believe you?"
"I do not think I, Chen Changsheng, possess any Kingly Aura that could make a loyal servant like you submit to my command."
Miao Shan glanced at the earnest Chen Changsheng and said calmly,
"It is only natural for you to look down on me. Compared to you, I am indeed short-sighted."
"But that does not affect the cooperation between us."
"As long as you are willing, I can help you accomplish what lies in your heart."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng set down his teacup and leaned slightly back in his chair.
"Do you truly want to help me, or do you want to help Jade Completion? You know the answer in your heart."
"But there is one question you have never voiced. When my path conflicts with Jade Completion's, whom will you choose to help?"
Miao Shan fell silent at that question.
Because no matter what happened, he would always stand with Jade Completion, and Jade Completion would always stand with the Four Brahma Three Realms.
When Miao Shan said nothing, Chen Changsheng continued.
"You used the lives of Zhang Zhi and eight hundred thousand soldiers as stakes.
