"You underestimate the Yan Kingdom and I, Yang Xia. How could I let your scheme succeed?"

"I'd like to see how you'll handle things after you find out the truth."

A mocking look appeared on Yang Xia's face as he stared at Su Fei with a meaningful gaze.

After Sophie explained her thoughts and intentions to Yang Xia, she noticed that Yang Xia remained silent throughout.

Without any response, the self-righteous Sophie mistakenly believed that Yang Xia's silence meant tacit approval.

He laughed loudly and said to Yang Xia, "Your Majesty... I never expected you to agree to our cooperation so readily."

"You are truly wise, paving a bright path for the Yan Kingdom."

Yang Xia stared at Sophie, finding her smug and overconfident appearance utterly ridiculous.

Seeing that Yang Xia did not express his opinion, Sophie became even more unscrupulous and even made some unreasonable demands.

“Your Majesty… since you have invited me to the Yan Kingdom and have also approved our cooperation.”

"I hope you can take me to see the tower defense cannon. I am really curious about the Yan Kingdom's possession of such a powerful weapon."

"Now that we are partners, this request shouldn't be too much to ask, right? I hope Your Majesty will grant my request."

Looking at Sophie's increasingly arrogant attitude, Yang Xia felt it wasn't time to expose her yet.

We can take advantage of this opportunity to make good use of Sophie, and then expose his true colors at the crucial moment.

Yang Xia glanced at Meng Yu beside him, who also seemed quite helpless. He never expected that Sophie would be so incredibly foolish.

Yang Xia abruptly changed the subject and sighed deeply.

"Lady Sophie... I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I can't grant your request."

Sophie was immediately displeased when she heard that Yang Xia was going to reject her.

He looked up at Yang Xia and couldn't help but frown.

"Your Majesty... what do you mean by this?"

Yang Xia quickly waved his hand and explained to Sophie.

"Lady Sophie, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I don't want to take you to see the tower defense cannon."

"It's because the tower defense cannon is not currently in Yan Country; it has been taken there for research."

"But as you know, there have been some unpleasant things between Yan Kingdom and Yan Kingdom recently, so Yan Kingdom has not yet returned the tower defense cannon."

"This matter has been giving me quite a headache. However, after meeting Lady Sophie today, I suddenly had an idea, and I hope that Lady Sophie can lend me a hand."

Yang Xia began to set a trap for Sophie, gradually leading him into his snare.

This filled him with anticipation, knowing full well that his scheme was flawless.

As expected, Sophie would grant his next request, which filled Yang Xia with anticipation.

Sophie looked at Yang Xia with a puzzled expression after hearing his explanation.

"What are your thoughts, Your Majesty? Please speak frankly, and we can have a proper discussion."

Yang Xia was already quite impatient and quickly nodded to Sophie.

"Lady Sophie... I would like to ask you to make a trip to Yan Kingdom, hoping to secure an opportunity for Yan Kingdom to resolve past grievances."

"That way we can get the tower defense cannon back, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone? This is most advantageous for us, what do you think of this idea..."

Sophie was taken aback when she heard Yang Xia's idea.

He froze on the spot, looking at Yang Xia with a very strange expression.

He seemed to understand Yang Xia's intention; perhaps Yang Xia planned to cooperate with Yan Kingdom and Xingyun Kingdom.

Thinking about this, Sophie did feel a little hesitant.

Because he knew that before this incident, Yang Xia's Yan Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom had always had a very good relationship.

If he were to agree to Yang Xia's request and go to Yan Kingdom to mediate for Yan Kingdom, it might put him in a disadvantageous position.

Sophie had already realized this. Faced with Yang Xia's request, he felt truly troubled and didn't know how to choose.

He wanted to seize the opportunity to cooperate with Yan, but he was also unwilling to put himself in a difficult situation.

Just as Sophie was caught in a dilemma and remained silent, Yang Xia watched her with a cold smile.

He had already seen through Yang Xia's plans. Yang Xia deliberately feigned impatience.

He looked at Sophie with great admiration, then used a goading tactic on her.

"Lady Sophie...you wouldn't refuse my request just now, would you? If that's the case, I'm truly disappointed."

"The Nebula Kingdom has always been powerful. Are you afraid of the Yan Kingdom? If you can secure the tower defense cannon, what are you still hesitating for?"

"If you cannot help Yan Kingdom, then how should we cooperate next? I really need to think about it carefully."

"I also hope that Lady Sophie can seize this opportunity. I wonder if Lady Sophie thinks what I said is reasonable?"

Sophie was deeply conflicted after hearing Yang Xia's explanation.

This made it difficult for him to make a decision, and his excitement vanished in an instant.

He was torn between his inner thoughts and his own. Yang Xia scrutinized Sophie carefully, his mind already filled with sneer at him.

Not wanting anyone to see her concerns, Sophie forced a smile and said to Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty... this matter is of great importance, but I will go back and consider it carefully. I hope Your Majesty can give me some time."

After saying this, Sophie quickly turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Sophie was about to slip away, Yang Xia turned around and winked at Meng Yu beside him.

Meng Yu immediately understood and moved with lightning speed, instantly blocking Sophie's path.

Sophie was taken aback, glanced at Meng Yu in a flustered manner, and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Sophie slowly turned around and questioned Yang Xia with great dissatisfaction.

"Yang Xia... what do you mean by this? Why are you blocking my way?"

Yang Xia was unwilling to deal with Sophie any further, nor did he want to waste any more time on this.

Yang Xia stood with his hands behind his back, and walked step by step to Sophie, staring at her with a very peculiar gaze.

Seeing Yang Xia's expression, Sophie felt quite uncomfortable.

He frowned and asked Yang Xia with a hint of anger, "Yang Xia... what exactly do you intend to do? Just say it directly, why be so mysterious?"

"Hahaha……"

Yang Xia looked at Sophie and laughed, pretending to be nonchalant.

The more Yang Xia acted this way, the more uncertain Sophie felt, even making him feel uneasy.

"I say, Lady Sophie... why are you so nervous? I haven't done anything to you yet."

"I have no other intention than to know if you can give me an explanation regarding the comments in my live stream?"

"I have some evidence, which is why I'd like to hear what Lady Sophie has to say."

When Sophie heard Yang Xia mention the live streaming room, her heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface.

He even feigned ignorance, looking completely bewildered as he spoke to Yang Xia.

"Yang Xia... what are you talking about? What are you talking about in the live stream chat? I have no idea what you're referring to."

"What exactly happened to make you doubt me like this? Don't wrong an innocent person, I have absolutely no idea about these things you're talking about." Yang Xia saw that Sophie was pretending to be stupid in front of him. Although she did not admit to the matter, she already had the answer in her heart.

He only wanted to test Sophie, but he didn't expect her to behave like this.

"Humph……"

Yang Xia sneered, his attitude suddenly changing.

“It’s alright… Since Lady Sophie is unaware of this matter, I’m relieved. I apologize for any offense I may have caused you earlier.”

"However... I do have some conditions for cooperating with Yan Kingdom. I wonder if Lady Sophie would be interested in hearing them?"

Sophie frowned as she looked at Yang Xia. Yang Xia's words and actions at that moment truly left her completely bewildered.

He couldn't figure out what Yang Xia was up to. He had remained silent until now, and suddenly he was making demands.

Sophie asked Yang Xia with great interest, "Yang Xia... please feel free to speak your mind. What are your conditions for our cooperation?"

Yang Xia was secretly delighted to see that Sophie had taken the bait.

Yang Xia took a deep breath and looked at Sophie as he spoke each word carefully.

"As long as Lady Sophie can bring back the tower defense cannon from Yan Kingdom, then I will believe what you say and choose to cooperate with you."

"But if Lady Sophie refuses my request, I really have some doubts about your sincerity. I'm sorry I cannot grant Lady Sophie's request for cooperation."

When Sophie heard Yang Xia offer such conditions, she suddenly realized what was going on.

He had been so confident, but unexpectedly Yang Xia turned the tables on him.

Faced with this situation, Sophie truly has no other choice.

Despite feeling extremely embarrassed, Sophie had no choice but to agree.

"Very well... Since Your Majesty has made such a request, I will grant your terms."

Yang Xia was satisfied when he saw that he had achieved his goal and that Sophie had agreed to it.

He turned to Meng Yu with a look of delight and instructed him, "Meng Yu... since Lord Sophie intends to return, you must ensure his safety."

"We absolutely cannot allow him to make any mistakes, or I will hold you responsible. Do you understand?"

Meng Yu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully replied to Yang Xia, "Yes, Your Majesty... Your subordinate will certainly escort Lady Sophie back safely."

Sophie shook her head helplessly and hurriedly left the hall.

Following Yang Xia's instructions, Meng Yu respectfully escorted Lady Sophie away from Yan Kingdom.

Yang Xia watched Sophie's departing figure, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

In fact, Yang Xia had already instructed Sun Zhengming to "treat" Sophie well.

Sun Zhengming had already understood Yang Xia's intentions and made full preparations.

Thinking of all this, Meng Yu was filled with admiration. When he came to Yang Xia again...

Unable to contain his excitement, he said to Yang Xia with obvious delight.

"Your Majesty... you are truly brilliant. I greatly admire your methods. Sophie's expression just now was so satisfying."

"The helpless look on his face when he left was so ridiculous that I even thought he was incredibly foolish."

"That self-righteous attitude completely disappeared in the end. I really don't know how you did it."

Yang Xia was also very pleased to see Meng Yu so excited.

Yang Xia witnessed every move Sophie made after her arrival, as well as every change in her expression.

He was indeed somewhat looking forward to it, wondering how Sun Zhengming would "treat" Sophie after she arrived in Yan.

What kind of expression will Sophie have when she learns the whole story?

Yang Xia sighed softly and said, "It's a pity... I won't be able to see the look of disappointment on his face."

"The rest is up to Sun Zhengming. I hope he won't disappoint me and will 'entertain' Lady Sophie properly for me."

After returning, Sophie had no choice but to set off for Yan, though she was very unhappy.

But in order for the Nebula Kingdom to cooperate with the Yan Kingdom, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face all of this.

However, Sophie never expected that all of this was actually planned by Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming, who were just waiting for her to walk into their trap.

Sophie had finally arrived in Yan Kingdom, and she had already planned everything in her mind.

Thinking about how to belittle Yang Xia and the Yan Kingdom, he changed his story again.

When the monarch of Yan, Song Jitian, saw Sophie arrive, he deliberately pretended to be very surprised.

"Lady Sophie... I wonder what your purpose and intention are in suddenly visiting Yan Kingdom?"

When Sophie heard Song Jitian's question, she deliberately put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture.

"My lord... I have indeed come to Yan Kingdom with important matters to discuss."

"I hope that Yan Kingdom can cooperate with Xingyun Kingdom so that we can jointly deal with Yang Xia's Yan Kingdom. They are just a small island nation in the sea, but I did not expect them to be so rampant."

“They don’t take us major powers seriously at all, and even constantly provoke us. Now the relationship between Yan Kingdom and Yan Kingdom is not harmonious. I hope you can give Xingyun Kingdom a chance to cooperate.”

Song Jitian was quite surprised when he heard Sophie's request.

He hadn't expected Sophie to change her expression so quickly, which left him somewhat helpless.

However, Song Jitian did not immediately expose Sophie. He knew that Sophie had other plans and that it was impossible for her to be just trying to cooperate.

Thanks to Sun Zhengming's reminder, Song Jitian had already understood all the reasons behind it.

Song Jitian looked at Sophie with surprise and asked, "Cooperation... Sophie's idea is quite sudden."

"How can we work together to deal with Yang Xia's Yan Kingdom? I wonder what detailed plans Lady Sophie has?"

Sophie looked slightly hesitant, but he felt this was an opportunity.

After a moment of silence, Sophie looked up at Song Jitian and Sun Zhengming and said.

"We have heard that Yang Xia's tower defense cannon was taken back by Yan Kingdom for research. In order to gain Yang Xia's trust, we can return the tower defense cannon to him."

"This way, Yang Xia will definitely believe us, and we can take this opportunity to infiltrate Yan Kingdom. This is a golden opportunity for us."

Sophie watched as Song Jitian and Sun Zhengming shared their thoughts, and she felt quite pleased with herself.

But to Sophie's surprise, Song Jitian burst into laughter after hearing his idea.

His expression and attitude were indeed unexpected by Sophie.

"Chief... what do you mean by this? Don't you believe in my sincerity?"

"Or are you unwilling to return the tower defense cannon to Yang Xia? What exactly are your plans?"

Song Jitian looked at Sophie with a mocking expression, finding her foolishness somewhat laughable.

"Humph……"

Song Jitian sneered and spoke to Sophie with righteous indignation.

"Lady Sophie... Please listen carefully, our Yan Kingdom has never taken Yang Xia's tower defense cannon."

Sophie was completely dumbfounded after hearing Song Jitian's words, and stood there stunned for a moment.

He was at a loss for what to do next, which made him feel extremely embarrassed. (End of Chapter)
