Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 690 Bitter wine enters throat
Although Li Xuan's promise was big and round, Nirubel just smiled politely and was not overly moved.

As a saint of a religion, this was not her first day in the world, so she would not be deceived by these sweet words.

Nilubaier needs to see more than just the bright future outlined by Li Xuan.

"Master Xuan, let me be clear with you."

"I am the only one leading the missionary work this time."

"The subsequent main missionary team will not arrive in Daxing until autumn at the earliest."

Nilubaier's words made Li Xuan frown.

It is only the middle of spring now. If the Holy Fire Cult missionary team does not arrive until autumn, it will take at least three or four months, by which time the day lilies will be cold.

It is obvious that the Holy Fire Sect does not want to wade into the muddy water of Daxing and be involved in the dispute between Emperor Yongyuan and King Zheng.

At least, I don't want to get too involved.

"Emperor Yongyuan promised your Holy Fire Sect to preach in Daxing, but didn't expect that in return he would only get this kind of attitude from you?"

Li Xuan stopped talking and spoke directly.

Seeing Li Xuan shaking his head in disappointment, Nirubel smiled without saying anything.

Seeing that Nirubail didn't respond, Li Xuan also lost the desire to continue the conversation.

"Since you have nothing to say, then you of the Holy Fire Sect should wait until autumn, until everything is settled."

"But I have to tell you, at that time I would never offer that price again."

"Once you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!"

Since Nirubel was hesitant and unwilling to bet on them, Li Xuan didn't need to waste his breath as if they were begging the Holy Fire Cult.

People who dare to bet only when they have a full chance of winning are just icing on the cake. Such allies are dispensable.

Regardless of the outcome between Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng, Li Xuan will definitely protect the people around him, otherwise he would be unworthy of being the chosen one!
Li Xuan turned around and got into Princess Ankang's arms, looking like he was about to leave.

Aimu, who was standing by, couldn't help but look embarrassed when she saw the conversation suddenly break down.

"Master Xuan, Master."

She called both sides, trying to get them to talk things out.

But both Li Xuan and Nirubel had reached the critical moment of the negotiations, and neither of them was willing to give in first.

If you give in now, it will be difficult for you to talk to me in the future.

Princess Ankang also trusted Li Xuan very much. Seeing that Li Xuan didn't want to talk anymore, she immediately picked him up and stood up.

"Now that we have finished talking, and there is nothing else to do, we will take our leave now."

Princess Ankang’s words stunned Nilubaier.

Aimu and Xie Qingmo also looked at Nilubai anxiously.

Nirubail originally thought that Princess Ankang was Li Xuan's master and would advise him to think more about Daxing. However, she did not expect that Princess Ankang would be so straightforward. She stood up and hugged Li Xuan and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Nilubel immediately smiled again and said to them:

"Your Highness, don't worry. When you arrive at the Holy Fire Cult, you must let me show my hospitality as a good host."

"Or is it that Nilubel doesn't have the honor to entertain Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Nirubel's attitude suddenly changed. Although she didn't mention the business of cooperation, she looked as if she was sincere in wanting to keep them and treat them well.

Since Nirubel had said so much, Princess Ankang naturally had to give her some face.

Nirubail just waved to Aimu, and Aimu happily went downstairs to make arrangements.

In Aimu's opinion, as long as they can maintain communication, there is hope of easing the relationship.

She knew her master very well. If she didn't have enough sincerity, Nirubel would not have come here in person.

Moreover, Nilubaier came alone, and it was obvious that she wanted to hide something from the others in the Holy Fire Cult.

In Aimu's opinion, the master did not value Li Xuan as little as he seemed.

It’s just that the master is always scheming against the people in the sect and seems to have forgotten how to be honest with others.

On this point, Aimu felt that it was the Master who was wrong.

"How can you be so rude to Master Xuan?"

In a moment, a sumptuous banquet was placed on their table.

Not only that, a door of the private room was opened, revealing a small and exquisite stage behind it.

Several skilled singers performed dances on the stage as a condiment to their meal.

The restaurant has elegant seats, golden sounds and jade music, and wonderful music.

The banquet and performances were carefully arranged, and the three little ones, who were originally not very happy, were in a much better mood at this time.

No wonder business people always like to talk in such occasions.

This bad mood can also turn into a good mood, and once the mood is good, you can make a decision.

During the banquet, Nirubel was no longer as difficult as before. Instead, she chatted and laughed, making the atmosphere at the banquet relaxed and pleasant.

In addition to talking about the details of life with the three little ones, Nirubel mainly talked with Sharon.

"Sister, how have you been spending this time?"

"I heard that Ignis is dead?"

As an eyewitness to what happened that year, Nirubel was also very curious about it.

Sharon nodded and drank some wine during the meal.

She talked about what had happened before, how Ignis died in her arms, and how she woke up in the palace and was taken care of by Li Xuan and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now she lives a good life in Jingyang Palace.

When Sharon and Ignis first met, they were both very young.

At this time, there were only two sisters left.

"I never thought that Ignis could actually rely on the skills he had learned to reach the second level, and even reach the stage of transformation into armor."

Nirubel was deeply shocked.

The Holy Fire Immortal Body of the Holy Fire Cult is truly amazing, and is one of the few remaining Yin-Yang techniques in the world.

However, the first half of the Holy Fire Immortal Body can only be practiced by the holy women specially selected by the Holy Fire Church, and it is not of much use to a man like Ignis.

But by secretly learning the first half of the Holy Fire Indestructible Body, Ignis actually realized a technique that suits him.

Although it was a magic skill that caused his personality to change drastically after practicing it, and even Sharon wanted to kill him, no one could deny his solid second-grade strength.

But even a genius like Ignis suffered humiliation when he first joined the Holy Fire Cult.

Their master was afraid that Sharon, who was inexperienced in the world, would be influenced by men, so he tried every means to drive Ignis out. If Sharon had not had a good impression of Ignis at the time and always protected him, she would have been killed long ago.

But in the end, this incident eventually became the cause that pushed the two people, and even the entire Holy Fire Cult, into the abyss.

Originally, talents like Ignis could stay in the Holy Fire Cult and become a perfect couple with Sharon, and the strength of the Holy Fire Cult could be further improved.

Ignis was born in a small country in the Western Regions. If he could make a name for himself in the Holy Fire Sect, it would also be beneficial for the Holy Fire Sect's control over the Western Regions.

Even a martial arts shrine with a strong faith like the Holy Fire Sect is not immune to vulgarity.

It is inevitable that disciples in the religion will form cliques and factions.

Where there are people, it is impossible to avoid this kind of group behavior.

Therefore, origin is a very useful label.

A person's country, region, family...

These factors will become a key consideration when the Holy Fire Sect selects new disciples.

After becoming a disciple of the Holy Fire Sect, there are even more distinct labels such as master and inheritance.

Ignis was just short of being born in an unknown small country in the Western Regions, his family did not have enough power, and he himself was unable to break out of the siege on his own.

After joining the Holy Fire Cult, he had masters like Sharon and Nilubaier, who regarded him as an unstable factor.

There are also other believers who regard Ignis as an external threat. After all, if there is one more outsider in the church, more power and resources will be taken away.

Sharon was too young at the time, and had become a saint of a religion smoothly. She could not understand the difficulties Ignis faced after joining the Holy Fire Cult.

Ignis also has his dignity as a man and doesn't want to rely on Sharon to solve all his problems.

After he lost to Sharon, it was enough to deal a heavy blow to his confidence.

Afterwards, he wanted to regain some face in front of this outstanding girl of the same age.

And all of this leads to a tragedy with no winners.

When Ignis was on his way to rebel against the Holy Fire Cult, he killed many of the Holy Fire Cult members who had bullied him.

This is why Ignis has such a high-level hunting order.

As a witness back then, Nirubel couldn't help but feel sad after hearing about Ignis's fate.

"Sister."

Seeing Sharon crying silently, Nirubel felt a little distressed.

"Alas, there are some things I didn't understand until now."

Sharon wiped her tears with her fingers and sighed.

Nirubel didn't know what to say to comfort Sharon, so she just held her hand silently.

"Is the master okay now?"

Sharon wiped away her tears and asked Nirubel.

"Fortunately, although he is old, he still has enough energy to scold me." Nirubel smiled bitterly.

At the same time, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Senior sister, Master did it for your own good."

After hesitating for a long time, Nirubel finally gave some advice.

She was afraid that Sharon would be angry with her master because of Ignis.

The Holy Fire Cult is already in chaos enough. If it gets any more chaotic, Nilubai will want to throw the jar into chaos.

"Junior sister, don't worry." Sharon smiled slightly.

"Let bygones be bygones."

"Now I just want to serve Master Xuan peacefully."

Sharon's words were sincere, and Nirubel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Nirubel changed the subject:

"Senior Sister, according to what you said just now, Master Xuan led his men to kill Ignis of the second level?"

"That's right, but I was not conscious at the time. I only remember Ignis being killed."

Nirubel nodded and didn't ask any more questions, not wanting to talk too much about Sharon's sad story.

But this incident forced Nirubail to reconsider the strength of Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan.

A second-rank master cannot be killed just because you want to.

If the other party is determined to escape, there is no possibility unless you are fully prepared.

But according to what Sharon said before, there were actually not many second-grade warriors present at the time, and it was just a two-on-one situation.

At most, considering Sharon's early consumption, it was just three against one.

But Sharon was unconscious at the time and there was no possibility of cooperation at all. Instead, she was a threat that needed to be guarded against.

In this case, how to kill Ignis who can transform into armor?
Nirubel put herself in his shoes and felt that it would be difficult for her to do the same.

"It seems that Emperor Yongyuan's strength is not as bad as the outside world says."

Nirubel said to herself.

There is no way, she is the Saint of the Holy Fire Cult, and she must consider things more carefully.

Otherwise, if the Holy Fire Cult really fell into her hands, she would become a sinner for all eternity.

"Senior Sister, Ignis's technique..."

As the two sisters spoke, they couldn't help but look at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan heard their conversation clearly, but he pretended not to hear it and just focused on eating and drinking.

The two girls followed suit, and with Aimu and Xie Qingmo by their side, they were busy enjoying the food and appreciating the singing and dancing, and were almost having so much fun that they didn't want to leave.

"The technique is in the hands of Master Xuan. It is his trophy."

Sharon said clearly.

Nirubel also understood that it was impossible to ask for it without any evidence.

"Junior sister, I am also sorry for you in this matter."

"If it weren't for me, it wouldn't be so difficult for you to be a saint now."

"If possible, I still hope you can consider cooperating with Master Xuan."

Sharon said apologetically.

In fact, when the saint passes on her skills, the previous saint will pass on her skills to the next saint.

However, due to Sharon's accident, the handover between her and Nirubel was not smooth.

Nilubaier was a naughty disciple in the eyes of her master and was inferior to Sharon in every aspect.

But later, something happened to Sharon, and Nirubel had to take on the task. However, the inheritance was not smooth, which resulted in her having to practice the skills on her own without the help of the previous saint.

And their master has become even more strict since Sharon's accident, and he doesn't believe that Nirubel is capable of being a good saint.

This is also one of the reasons why the Holy Fire Cult is now divided into many factions.

At this point, Nilubai finally had a chance to complain after all these years, and immediately said to Sharon:

"Senior sister, Master has always disliked me since I was a child."

"You are always the one who gets praised and I am the one who gets scolded."

“I thought I would just be stuck like this for the rest of my life.”

"I never thought that such a great responsibility would suddenly fall upon me, and it would crush me."

"You don't know, now the Holy Fire Cult..."

Nirubel became more and more excited as she spoke.

Seeing her voice getting louder and louder, Xie Qingmo quickly invited everyone to eat and drink to cover up his sister's embarrassment.

Aimu didn't know about her master's past, so she pricked up her ears and eavesdropped out of curiosity.

The three little ones are not much better.

But Nirubel was an expert after all, and she soon noticed that everyone had quieted down. She realized that she had lost her composure, so she coughed dryly and put on her composure again.

Sharon couldn't help but feel distressed and sorry when she saw her former naughty junior sister now having to pretend to be an adult.

"Junior sister, you have suffered a lot these years."

Nirubel had just calmed down, but Sharon's words made her eyes red again.

"Sister, the test of the Holy Fire is too hard for us."

As Nilubaier spoke, she drank the wine in her glass and sighed bitterly.

After saying that, she turned and looked at Li Xuan.

"Master Xuan, I want Ignis's skills."

"Give me the skills, and I, Nilubaier, will do my utmost to help you deal with King Zheng in my personal capacity."
