I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 686 "Building Some Friendships"

The flying boat has a unique shape, but the jet nozzle at the tail still reveals its origin.

This is still something left over from the last era, but the appearance has been modified.

Yun Xian stood at the front of the flying boat. Despite the huge airflow, he remained motionless, showing the demeanor of a top boss.

"My Yun family has been in seclusion until now. I thought that the outside world was full of hidden talents and experts. Who would have thought that this great empire is just a paper tiger? At first glance, there is not even a decent opponent."

His tone was calm, like a god standing on the top of the mountain looking down on all living beings at the foot of the mountain.

The few people following Yun Xian looked at each other quietly and saw the helplessness on each other's faces.

The Yun family's ancestor, Yun Shan, had a total of seven children, two boys and five girls, among whom the second son, Yun Xian, was the most favored.

Yunshan now hardly cares about the affairs of the clan, big or small. Basically, all matters are left to the clan members to handle. The successor is even more likely to be chosen from his grandchildren. Before this, Yun Xian was responsible for managing the clan’s materials. He is both an elder and has resources in his hands, so clan members who are qualified to inherit the position of clan leader have to please him.

Being pampered from above and licked from below naturally made Yun Xian a arrogant person.

However, Yun Xian was quite interesting in some aspects. Logically speaking, he should be qualified to inherit the position of clan leader. When Yun Shan announced that the candidate for clan leader would be chosen from among his juniors, many people secretly said that it was not a good idea, fearing that Yun Xian would cause trouble because of his dissatisfaction.

However, Yun Xian not only had no dissatisfaction, but also went to find the younger generations who were qualified to inherit the position of patriarch overnight.

The words were very simple. After one of them succeeded to the throne, the position of the second elder must be reserved for him, and the resources provided every year must not be insufficient.

He didn't even contact each heir secretly, but told everyone openly.

Therefore, Yun Xian’s status in the clan is now rising.

This time when the clan's treasures were stolen, the future second elder volunteered to lead the team. They collected information along the way and finally arrived at the imperial capital.

"Second Master, although you have not sensed Deep Blue in the empire, the other party is a local country after all. Regardless of whether there are experts hiding, we should always keep a low profile."

Someone reminded softly.

Yun Xian frowned and snorted disdainfully: "Since when did my Yun family have to depend on other people's opinions when doing things?"

The person who spoke just now was named Yun Tianqi. His face twitched a few times and he was speechless.

Do something? The Yun family has barely left the valley in all these years, what could they do...

It's okay that the second master usually orders people around in the clan, but why is he still like this when he goes out?

They came here to exchange information about Gao Yu, not to make enemies...

However, Yun Tianqi had anticipated Yun Xian's temper, and immediately said, "Second Master is right. Since the other party does not have a deep blue-level expert, there is no need for Second Master to take action. I will go and communicate with the other party."

Yun Xian nodded casually, and did not forget to remind him: "Don't be too polite. It is their blessing that they can make an exchange with our Yun family."

"Yes, I understand, Master."

Yun Tianqi couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Yun Xian return to the room.

As long as this gentleman doesn't get involved, everything will be fine.

Just as I was thinking about how to talk to the other party, a flying vehicle came towards me.

Two aircraft were suspended in mid-air. A man walked out of the one that had just flown away. It was Shadow.

"Your Excellency has trespassed into the airspace of our empire. Do you really think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Shadow said coldly.

Since he spoke out, he represented the face of Her Majesty the Queen. As the head of a country, he must never be humble.

Yun Tianqi, who stayed behind, looked at the direction Yun Xian went back in with a guilty look on his face. Seeing that no one came out again, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, the second master didn’t hear it. If he had heard it, he would probably have directly argued with the other party.

"Please don't misunderstand me. I am Yun Tianqi, the director of the Yun family's mountain search department. I am here to establish some friendship with your country. We are new here and don't know your country's rules. I hope you can forgive me if I have offended you."

There was a strange flash in Shadow's eyes. I thought he was an enemy, but why did he speak so strangely?

There is no such thing as an idler in a wasteland. Living in this world, there are few rules and even fewer etiquettes. Even the nobles of the empire will be more direct and rough because of the temperament of the city and the country.

There is no tribe that speaks this way in the empire... Moreover, he thought the other party would be arrogant and even attack directly, but he didn't expect that the supervisor named Yun Tianqi? His attitude was quite good.

While I was thinking about it, the aircraft in front actually began to land on its own.

Some unpredictable shadows were passing information back while also falling down.

On the ground, Yun Tianqi jumped off the aircraft and bowed to Shadow: "What is this gentleman's name?"

"I am Shadow, the captain of Her Majesty's personal guard."

Yun Tianqi immediately put on a warm smile: "I have heard of you for a long time. Now that I have seen you, Lord Shadow is indeed a dashing and elegant man with an extraordinary demeanor. He is worthy of being a subordinate of Her Majesty the Queen..."

He kept talking, praising Shadow and Bai Ye at the same time, which made Shadow's brow twitch.

I have never heard of the Yun family. What is the origin of this group of people...

Shadow stopped the other party's flattery and said calmly: "There is no need to beat around the bush when talking about some things. The Empire was founded on military power, and we all prefer direct ways of speaking. You are emitting energy fluctuations and breaking into the Empire's territory. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Yun Tianqi rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Of course I want to establish some friendship with your country - but since you said so, let's be frank. I wonder if I can meet the Queen of your country?"

"Your Majesty does not meet people easily."

"Of course, of course—" Yun Tianqi smiled and presented a box, "When Your Majesty ascended the throne, my Yun family had not yet left the valley, and I did not have the time to present a gift. I hope Your Majesty will not despise it."

Shadow took the wooden box calmly, and immediately felt a familiar breath.

Linglu?

Your Majesty has used this thing once, it is a good thing and very rare. Why is the other side so generous?

After thinking for a moment, Shadow said, "I will go back to report to His Majesty. Please wait where you are."

"It should, it should."

When the shadow faded away, Yun Tianqi's smile faded a little. He looked at the silent woman beside him and asked, "How is it?"

The woman shook her head: "There is no smell of a sealed item. The other party has just been promoted to Crimson and his strength is very weak. I have never heard of his name, but it should be consistent with his identity."

Yun Tianqi looked thoughtful: "Didn't he guard against us? The deep red peak energy fluctuations emitted by the Second Master must have made the other party ready for battle... The captain of Her Majesty's personal guard... is normal. It seems that the little thief has little relationship with the empire..."

The woman continued, "Then we will exchange all the information about Gao Zhi with each other?"

Yun Tianqi nodded: "The clan leader has issued a death order, so this must be changed. However, as long as you are sure that the other party has no connection with the little thief, don't make enemies for no reason. There is really no need to provoke an enemy for no reason... When you see Her Majesty the Queen later, you continue to sense it, and don't show any problems."

The woman agreed, and then continued, "The data from the logistics analysis has been sent. According to the information we received earlier, the empire is undoubtedly controlled by the Queen. However, the Prince who was just appointed not long ago is probably much more powerful than the Queen, and he has been involved in various major events. Should we also meet with the Prince?"

Yun Tianqi pondered, "That prince named Sean, right? Not only is he a prince, he's also the owner of Paradise City... That's fine. We can meet Sean and save ourselves the trouble of going to Paradise City again."

At this moment in the palace, Bai Ye had already arrived at the side hall with everyone else. After listening to Shadow's report, she looked at Jin Kui.

Jin Kui nodded slightly: "The other party was indeed exchanged. As for the Yun family... I haven't heard of them either. I guess only Sean knows the details... The energy fluctuations before were very shocking. The other party did it on purpose. They were reminding us... But, the other party has this attitude, which means they really don't know what Sean did..."

"Our mission remains the same, we just need to deal with the other party."

Everyone nodded, and Endeli whispered again: "Brother said before he went into seclusion that if someone came to exchange information, we should not tell anyone yet, and wait until he comes out to exchange information - should we delay?"

Jin Kui shook his head: "We can't hold them back. They are very powerful. If it's just the Crimson Peak, we can still find a way to deal with it. But we're afraid that if we beat the smaller ones, a bigger one will come. We won't be able to face the Deep Blue directly. Sean's instructions need to be modified, and some relevant information should be revealed at the right time."

Bai Ye pondered and said, "But what specific information should we reveal?"

Jin Kui said, "Gao Wei is an evil god who has appeared before. Some things cannot be kept secret. We should tell them what needs to be said, and then reveal some secrets appropriately, such as some things done by the previous emperor of the empire. These things are also related to Gao Wei."

"Also, if the other party wants more information, just say that the information is all with Sean, but Sean has been in seclusion for more than two months, and we can only know it after he comes out."

Endeli suddenly realized, "Oh, talk more about the time and avoid the time point?"

Jin Kui nodded: "Anyway, we should act according to circumstances. We don't know much to begin with, and the other party won't force any action without evidence, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

The problem was indeed not big, and Yun Tianqi finally met Bai Ye.

In the newly built imperial palace, Yun Tianqi met with Her Majesty the Queen. Just as Jin Kui expected, he revealed some news and some information about Sean, and the other party left a gift of thanks and said goodbye.

They originally thought that the meeting would be tense, but it turned out to be much more relaxed than they imagined.

Yun Tianqi's words and actions were a little strange, but overall he was very polite.

On the other side, Yun Tianqi, who had returned to the aircraft, was asking someone to pass on the information he had just received, and then he looked at the woman who could sense the seal.

The woman shook her head. “There are so many people in the palace. I have sensed them one by one. Not only is there no aura of the sealed object, but there is also no aura of items with our Yun family’s mark. This matter really has nothing to do with the empire.”

Yun Tianqi nodded in agreement: "I had the same feeling when I talked to the Queen. She was wary and concealed something, but our Yun family suddenly appeared, so there was nothing wrong with her reaction. And after learning about our purpose, the Queen even included the information about the previous emperor of the empire, which can be regarded as sincerity."

"It's a pity that Sean will not be able to meet him. According to what Her Majesty the Queen said, Sean will know more about Gao Zhi."

Yun Tianqi also said with regret: "That Sean is said to be so amazing, it's a pity that I can't meet him. However, I still gained something today, and the communication will be smoother next time I go to the empire, and I should be able to meet the prince by then."

"Then we set off to Paradise City to explore on our own?"

"can."

Just as they were preparing to set sail, a voice suddenly interrupted them.

"idiot!"

Yun Tianqi looked back and saw Yun Xian standing behind them at some point.

Yun Tianqi bowed quickly and raised his head carefully: "Second Master, aren't you taking a rest?"

Yun Xian said dissatisfiedly: "How can I rest if I can't even handle such a small matter?"

Yun Tianqi touched his head awkwardly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, if you really took action, we would probably have to go to war with a country directly now...

However, on the surface, he still nodded and said, "Second Master is teaching me a lesson. I wonder what Second Master has to say?"

Having said that, Yun Tianqi has already made up his mind that no matter what Yun Xian says, he will just ignore it.

We have finally established a good relationship with the empire, and we must not let the willfulness of our second master ruin this relationship.

Who would have thought that Yun Xian would say coldly: "After your investigation, do you think that the loss of the clan's treasures has nothing to do with the empire?"

Yun Tianqi nodded subconsciously: "According to the current situation, it is indeed the case."

Yun Xian snorted coldly: "Is that true? Look at the information they gave you. It seems like they said a lot, but the core is actually about the Imperial Capital Incident. Gao Yu descended as an evil god, but was defeated in the end?"

Yun Tianqi picked up the recorded information and took a look at it, then raised his head and asked in confusion: "The other party has nothing to hide?"

Yun Xian said angrily, "Nothing to hide? Where is Gao Zi's evil god body?"

"Of course it was disposed of afterwards... There's no way to make use of this thing, right?" Yun Tianqi was still puzzled.

Yun Xian shook his head and said, "Nano organisms are a feature of the body of the high-ranking evil god. If they want to use them at the level of the evil god, they really can't do it. But don't forget, there are a lot of deep reds among this group of people. Even the damaged evil god body is extremely useful to them. Where did they go afterward? What about the specific list and uses? Can they be compared with the nano debris in the mountain stream outside the valley? If you don't ask about these things, how can you figure out if the empire is hiding something important from us?"

"Nano debris, this is the key point, but you, an idiot, were overwhelmed by the information provided by the other party and followed his line of thought completely. You can't get anything out of it!"
