A Deal Between Xiao Lin and Yun Shan

"Sect Master Yun Shan, you guessed right. Besides the Sect Tournament, I chose to come see you this time for a deal I want to finalize with you."

Xiao Lin spoke with a hint of mystery.

"Trade?"

Upon hearing Xiao Lin's words, Yun Shan's face showed a hint of surprise.

He never expected that Xiao Lin would give him such an answer.

Besides, I don't know if it was just his imagination.

He felt that Xiao Lin's attitude and tone had changed when he spoke to him this time.

He couldn't explain it in detail.

But Xiao Lin gave him the feeling that he wasn't in a dominant position.

Xiao Lin's tone and attitude didn't exactly make him uncomfortable, but they certainly surprised him greatly.

Yun Shan didn't know what gave Xiao Lin his confidence.

"That's right, Sect Master Yun Shan, I can give you my answer regarding the Sect Tournament now. I will participate in the Sect Tournament between the Four Great Empires two years from now."

Xiao Lin first took care of the first thing he needed to do when he found Yun Shan.

Hearing Xiao Lin say this, Yun Shan nodded.

"So, what about the deal you're talking about? I'm quite curious now, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

These are Yun Shan's true feelings.

He was now extremely curious about the deal Xiao Lin had mentioned.

After all, the Xiao Household is just one Dou Wang Family. Although they hold some weight in his eyes, what does the Xiao Household have that he needs?

He really hadn't expected that!

If I had to pick one, the only person in the Xiao Household who might interest him is Xiao Lin.

It can be said that the reason why Yun Shan is now treating the Xiao Household so well is not only because the Xiao Household is Dou Wang Family, but also largely because of Xiao Lin.

In Yun Shan's view, Xiao Lin was someone worthy of their Misty Cloud Sect's investment.

But that's all.

Therefore, Yun Shan was not particularly interested before Xiao Lin started discussing the specifics of the deal.

"Swish"

"Slap"

Just then, Xiao Lin casually tossed something towards Yun Shan.

Yun Shan caught it directly.

"What is this--"

Before the question could even be uttered, Yun Shan's eyes had already widened in surprise.

Not only that, his body couldn't help but tremble at that moment.

To avoid seeing things, Yun Shan even rubbed his eyes.

However, what he saw before him was still lying in his hands.

"Phew~"

Even after taking several deep breaths, Yun Shan's mind remained unsettled.

"Xiao Lin, may I ask how you obtained this?"

Gripping the object in his hand tightly, Yun Shan asked in a slightly trembling voice.

However, upon seeing Yun Shan in this state, Xiao Lin simply smiled and did not directly answer his question.

Yun Shan's current behavior was exactly as Xiao Lin had expected.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Xiao Lin had already anticipated the current situation when he tossed the item to Yun Shan.

"Well, Sect Master Yun Shan, shouldn't my sincerity be enough? Shouldn't we now discuss the transaction?"

Xiao Lin looked at the excited Yun Shan with a half-smile and asked in return.

Yun Shan: "--"

As you wish!

After a moment of silence, Yun Shan nodded with utmost solemnity.

Afterwards, in the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Lin and Yun Shan talked for about half an hour.

During this time, several people from the Misty Cloud Sect came looking for Yun Shan, but Yun Shan waved them away each time.

For Yun Shan right now, absolutely nothing is more important than making a deal with Xiao Lin, and that even includes today's disciple-acceptance ceremony!

This shows just how much importance Yun Shan placed on this transaction after Xiao Lin casually pulled out that item.

Yun Shan would never have imagined this before.

Of course, thanks to what Xiao Lin provided, the transaction went incredibly smoothly.

In fact, if Xiao Lin said he wanted to become the next sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan probably wouldn't even bat an eye!

Basically, it was Xiao Lin who proposed the conditions, while Yun Shan was responsible for agreeing to them.

Yes, it's that simple.

It could be said that what Xiao Lin offered was so compelling that Yun Shan could not refuse any of his conditions.

Half an hour later, Xiao Lin, having finished negotiating the deal with Yun Shan, returned to the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect where they were entertaining guests.

"Old Xiao, where have you been? Were you constipated in the toilet? It took you so long!"

Xiao Lin had just returned when he was greeted with his best friend's complaints.

Xiao Lin simply rolled his eyes at the other person.

"Brother Xiao, you wouldn't be out sightseeing around Misty Cloud Mountain, would you? Haha!"

Mu Chen was just joking.

"I just went to talk to Sect Master Yun Shan for a couple of minutes. I discussed something with him two years ago, and I just gave him my answer."

Xiao Lin didn't mention the transaction, but only talked about the Sect Tournament.

"I see."

Nalan Jie and Mu Chen had no doubts about Xiao Lin's explanation.

After that, Xiao Lin did not leave his seat again.

As time went by, the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect gradually filled with guests.

Finally, even Jia Xing Tian of the Gama Imperial Family's royal family, Hai Bodong of the Mittel Family, and Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild, personally came to the Misty Cloud Sect.

It can be said that compared to the grand feast held by the Xiao Household family two years ago, the Misty Cloud Sect this time was even more lively!

After all, for this disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Misty Cloud Sect, all the publicly known Dou Huang expert in the entire Jia Ma Empire have been present!

In addition, in recent years, the Jia Ma Empire seems to have experienced a surge in national fortune, with several more Dou Wang Family) being born.

For example, the He Clan, which controls Black Rock City in the northwest region of the Jia Ma Empire, has a patriarch named He Gan who successfully broke through to the Dou Wang realm several years ago.

Furthermore, a new Dou Wang Family, named the Chek Family, was born in the southern region of the Jia Ma Empire.

His ancestor, Chek Aoyan, also successfully broke through to the Dou Wang realm a year ago.

However, after the birth of the Dou Wang Ancestor, the members of the Chek Family began to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the southern region.

Over the past year, its infamy has even reached the Gama Imperial Capital!

However, as Dou Wang Families, both the He Clan and the Chek Family received invitations from the Misty Cloud Sect.

In addition, there were also lone Dou Wang expert like Yan Shi Feng Li who were invited by the Misty Cloud Sect.

It can be said that today, the Misty Cloud Sect has gathered eight or nine out of ten of the strongest people in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

All the publicly known Dou Huang expert were present, and there were also nearly two dozen Dou Wang expert.

This also shows just how enormous the Misty Cloud Sect was within the Jia Ma Empire.

Before Xiao Lin reveals his strength, the Xiao Household is no match for the Misty Cloud Sect!

And so, as time went by, the time for the Misty Cloud Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony was drawing ever closer.
