The Prodigal Son

Qin Yu gave Murong Wujiang no chance to bargain.

Murong Wujiang didn't want to suffer such a huge loss.

For a time, the negotiations between the two reached a stalemate.

"I thought you were a visionary hero, but I never imagined you were just a short-sighted and greedy fool!"

Murong Wujiang clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Qin Yu through gritted teeth.

She had planned it all out before she came.

Her bottom line is the three prefectures north of Panjiang.

She originally thought that the three prefectures, plus her explanation of the advantages and disadvantages, should be enough to make Qin Yu agree.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu was so greedy.

I still want Shuozhou!

But now, she has already told Qin Yu everything that she should and shouldn't have said.

If they can't reach an agreement, the Ning people will definitely send people to keep an eye on their movements from behind at all times!

Once disaster strikes Beiqi, the Ning people will surely take advantage of the chaos!

"Your Majesty, please don't say that."

Qin Yu shook his head and smiled. "Whether I'm a hero or a coward, you still won't marry me! Since you're going to kill me anyway, why shouldn't I be a greedy one?"

"Heh, trying to be a scoundrel to me, huh?"

Murong Wujiang almost laughed out of anger at Qin Yu, "Fine, as long as you bring the Nine Dragon Pendant to marry into my Northern Qi, what's wrong with me marrying you?"

"You wish!" Qin Yu curled her lip, saying arrogantly, "I would never let a virgin like you have my way!"

"asshole!"

Murong Wujiang flew into a rage and suddenly struck Qin Yu with a palm.

Qin Yu was not afraid at all and immediately met the attack with his palm.

boom!

Their palms clashed, and both were forced back several steps by the force of the other's blow, then looked at each other in shock.

Holy crap?

Qin Yu was horrified.

Is this woman that strong?

I had to use several power banks to reach the ninth realm, and this woman is also at the ninth realm?

Was she on drugs?

Meeting Qin Yu's shocked gaze, Murong Wujiang was also shocked.

Last March, Qin Yu was just a third-realm martial artist.

In just over a year and a half, he has developed strength that is no less than mine?

He only achieved his current strength thanks to the techniques left by his ancestors and the meticulous guidance of Tuoba Liuyun, the number one expert in the world.

What makes Qin Yu so special?

Seeing the two men make their move, the grandmasters from both sides quickly stepped forward.

The two of them came to their senses and almost simultaneously raised their hands to stop the grandmaster behind them.

Neither of the grandmasters knew what was going on. Seeing the two raise their hands to stop them at the same time, they could only stop quickly and look at each other warily.

"Qin Yu, I truly underestimated you!"

Murong Wujiang stared coldly at Qin Yu, still shocked.

"Same to you!"

Qin Yu composed himself. "I underestimated you! I was thinking that if we didn't have anything important to discuss, I'd take the opportunity to kidnap you and make you my servant! Now it seems that's completely out of the question!"

Murong Wujiang retorted without hesitation: "If it weren't for the Nine Dragon Pendant, I would have wanted to capture you and make you my personal eunuch!"

"It seems neither of us are gentlemen!"

Qin Yu grinned, "Since neither of us has the ability to capture the other, there's no need to now. Let's part ways here! My conditions are non-negotiable; whether you agree or not is entirely up to Your Majesty! I await Your Majesty's reply!"

"No need to wait! I can answer you right now!"

Murong Wujiang coldly stared at Qin Yu, "I can agree to your conditions, but Panshan Pass must be controlled by our dynasty!"

"Listen to me clearly, if the Nine Dragon Pendant proves useless and those monsters break through the Abyss Gate, Great Ning would be best advised to send troops to assist them!"

"Otherwise, I might as well abandon the several states west of the Heavenly Gift Grassland and let those monsters march straight in and slaughter their way to your northwestern border!"

"If my Northern Qi is in trouble, your Great Ning won't have an easy time either!"

Murong Wujiang didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Qin Yu.

It's just one state more than my bottom line, isn't it?

I have given it to you!

Are you threatening me?

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You can interpret this as a threat, or you can take it as a piece of advice!"

Murong Wujiang's gaze turned cold and sharp. "This matter is definitely not as simple as 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'!"

"So you're as long-lived as heaven and earth, right?"

Qin Yu curled the corners of his mouth and casually made a joke.

"almost!"

Murong Wujiang responded coldly.

Qin Yu's smile vanished, a sudden chill flashing in his eyes: "But listen to me carefully, if that day ever comes, and you dare to abandon your western defenses, you'd better pray that my Great Ning is destroyed by those so-called monsters. Otherwise, I will definitely crush your Northern Qi to the point of national extinction!"

"Alright, I've got it!"

Murong Wujiang nodded slightly. "I hope you can persuade Zhao Luan to agree to this as soon as possible! Our time is very limited!"

After saying that, Murong Wujiang turned and left.

However, after taking only a few steps, Murong Wujiang turned back. "Qin Yu, you are indeed a despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

"You flatter me!"

Qin Yu cupped his hands in greeting to Murong Wujiang, "You can wait in Yunzhou for a while. I'll discuss it with someone and send someone with you to check out the Abyss Gate first!"

"Sure! But as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Murong Wujiang turned and left.

Qin Yu also quickly walked back.

Damn it!

This is something we really need to take seriously!

Although Murong Wujiang didn't know what those monsters were, the fact that Beiqi was willing to exchange four states for half a piece of the Nine Dragon Pendant showed that those monsters posed a significant threat to Beiqi.

If those monsters really break through the gates of the abyss, then we're all going to have a tough time.

Soon, Qin Yu returned to Ning Huang and the others.

"What were you talking about? Why did you suddenly start fighting?"

Upon seeing Qin Yu, Ning Huang immediately began asking him questions.

Qin Yu let out a breath of stale air. "This is a big deal. You should find a place to sit down and discuss it!"

"You two can discuss it!"

Ning Huang slowly drew his Broken Mountain sword, his eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit: "I'll exchange a few blows with Tuoba Liuyun first!"

"Stop hitting him!"

Qin Yu pulled Ning Huang back, "There are more important things to do right now!"

Ok?

Ning Huang frowned, looking at Qin Yu with a puzzled expression.

Let's go!

Qin Yu grabbed Ning Huang and then gave Su Hebao and Zhao Po a wink.

The three of them looked puzzled and quickly followed Qin Yu to the main force at the back.

Without further ado, Qin Yu called Xue Chengdao and the others together and briefly told them what he and Murong Wujiang had discussed.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, they no longer had the mind to think about the terms they had agreed upon.

Their minds were completely occupied by that so-called monster.

The Gate to the Abyss?

monster?

This……

This sounds so ridiculous!

Unaware of the situation, Su Hebao was stunned for a long time before finally unable to hold back her question: "Lord Qin, you haven't been bewitched by Murong Wujiang's good looks, have you? You actually believe that?"

"..."

Qin Yu looked at Su Hebao speechlessly, rubbing his head, and said, "Murong Wujiang has agreed, so we can send someone with Tuoba Liuyun to verify! Everyone, we can talk about the rest later. Let's send two trustworthy people to verify first!"
