At this, Murong Jianyun's eyes narrowed as he stared at Pei Yuxian and her brother with a half-smile that was not quite a smile.
After seeing that Tyrant Lotus Venerable had reached the level of a top-tier Emperor, Murong Jianyun's heart had completely relaxed.
Of course, Pei Yuxian sensed Murong Jianyun's gaze. A cold gleam flashed through her eyes as she cursed inwardly, This damned old fox.
Her thoughts suddenly became clear...
Murong Jianyun had deliberately let the Ba Hun successor win the vote, only to veto it afterward while putting on such a lowly posture. Damn it, it was as though the Thousand Kings Holy Tower owed him something.
That way, even if she killed Tyrant Lotus Venerable and the Ba Hun successor, there would be no negotiating afterward.
Forget two Qianyuan Fragment Maps—even getting one would be difficult.
To put it bluntly, Murong Jianyun had deliberately sacrificed Sikong Jing and Tyrant Lotus Venerable to preserve his dignity and maintain the upper hand in negotiations. He had also ensured that the Thousand Kings Holy Tower would have no way to deal with them in the future, with no excuse to forcefully pressure them.
An old fox—he truly was an old fox.
Rage surged through Pei Yuxian's heart as she suddenly looked again at Sikong Jing and Tyrant Lotus Venerable.
She viciously thought, Aren't you two the best at resisting, the most rebellious? Why are you completely going along with Murong Jianyun in this matter? Why are you being so obedient? Are you throwing your lives away for nothing?
Naturally, Pei Yuxian had no idea that this decision had been made by Sikong Jing. It was a little fox's doing, not an old fox's.
No matter what, Pei Yuxian had no way to deal with Murong Jianyun for the moment.
