Chapter 147: Gentleman

Chapter 147 Gentleman Xiang Lan'er couldn't figure out what this senior brother wanted to talk about. As a bystander, she still felt that his words were shocking. Although they were vulgar and straightforward, they had an inexplicable way of shaking people's hearts. I couldn't help but tilt my head to look at him and assess him again. Mulan Qingqing also stared at him intently. His words refreshed her ears and confirmed that this man was indeed different from the disciples of other sects, and also different from the disciples of her Su Yuan Sect. Those people could not say such words. These words sounded arrogant, but one could feel that they came from the heart. From the perspective of a large sect or the cultivation world, this person is very small, but in her eyes, he is so small that the space feels small. A tiny person standing between the vast heaven and earth gives people an indescribable feeling. After calming down and sorting out her thoughts, she did not agree to the other party's request, but said: "Tell me your conditions at the same time." Shi Chun: "I want half of Xuanzhou's troops!" Xiang Lan'er was confused again. "..." Mulan Qingqing tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked: "Half of the people from Xuanzhou who are attending the meeting have gathered now?" Shi Chun: “Yes.”

Mulan Qingqing naturally asked, "What do you want to do?" What do you want to do? Shi Chun thought too much, and naturally said something else, "It's not what I want to do, it's you who force me to do it. You force me to have no way out, so I can only fight for it myself, and fight for the Xuanzhou Territory Lord to give me a guarantee to visit Xiashan." Thinking about the other party's request for troops, Mulan Qingqing suddenly understood and asked in surprise: "You want to compete for the first place in Xuanzhou?" Shi Chun: "It's all thanks to Hu Yandao's reminder. Since we have to fight you, why don't we fight hard? Why should everyone fight for you, Su Yuanzong, to be the first?" Mulan Qingqing: "Just because our Su Yuan Sect is the number one in Xuanzhou and Shengshenzhou, and because our Su Yuan Sect has such appeal. I can't give these people and horses just because I want to. You can't convince them. Even if you assign them to you, they won't listen to you." Shi Chun: "You just need to row over here, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Mulan Qingqing asked curiously, "Then why don't you let Su Yuanzong give you the first place directly, or let me give you all my men and horses. Why do you want half?" Shi Chun was quite happy, "Okay, as long as you can do it, I have no objection. Can you just give up the first place?" If such a good thing could really happen, he would feel relieved and there would be no need to take risks or think so much. Mulan Qingqing was silent. She could say whatever she wanted, but when it came to doing it, it was not up to her to decide. The gains of the Xuanzhou people would ultimately be ranked by everyone collectively. She could secure the first place for Su Yuanzong, but it was impossible for her to arbitrarily designate other first places. If someone else really had to be the first, it would not be Youxiashan's turn. Shi Chun continued, "You gave up the first place, and I didn't do anything in Youxia Mountain. Why should the Lord of Xuanzhou guarantee Youxia Mountain for me? You gave all your men and horses to me, what's the difference between that and giving up the first place?" He did want all the troops, but the reality was cruel. If all the troops were given to him, it would mean that they were not his and would not listen to him. Any big sect could make him stand aside with just a call. Mulan Qingqing was silent for a while and said, "If you are just trying to protect yourselves and Youxia Mountain, there is no need to go through all this trouble. I have a better way that will reassure all parties." Is there any? Shi Chun thought about it, but couldn't think of any good way to reassure all parties, so he tried to ask, "What way?" Mulan Qingqing said shockingly: "You and I will be husband and wife." "..." Shi Chun was instantly bewildered. After gradually coming to his senses, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, and turned to look at Xiang Lan'er beside him with a questioning look. Xiang Lan'er seemed to be dumbfounded, staring at the woman opposite her. After seeing their reactions, Mulan Qingqing spoke calmly as if it was someone else's business. "Neither you nor I trust each other, so there is no better way than this, it's simple and effective. You and I will get married in Xiji and announce the good news. In this way, you and You Xiashan don't have to worry about anything, and I don't have to worry about you ruining Su Yuanzong's reputation. However, you must cooperate with me to eliminate all those who left Hu Yandao. As for Hu Yandao, I will make them disappear."

There was another benefit she didn't mention, which was that it could save the life of her junior fellow apprentice Chao Zhilin. Before, the other party said that Chao Zhilin’s life was not on the table. But after they became husband and wife, there was nothing left to discuss. Naturally, they would let him go. After making sure that she had not heard wrongly and ascertained the other party's intentions, Xiang Lan'er quickly lowered her head and thought about one thing in her mind. From the perspective of the devil, she was thinking, would it be more beneficial to let Shi Chun get involved in Bowang Tower, or would it be more beneficial to let Shi Chun get involved in Suyuan Sect. Unfortunately, she was not at a high enough level to calculate the best interests, and she could not contact the higher-ups here, so she could only feel helpless. At the same time, she also admired Mulan Qingqing, who was so decisive and ruthless that she could even sacrifice herself for the sake of the sect's reputation. If it were her, she might not be able to do it. Shi Chun swallowed his saliva, maybe because he was drooling at the sight of the beauty, then he suddenly stopped looking silly, "No, I'm not your Su Yuan Sect, I can't do anything to my own people. Since those dozens of people followed me, I can't betray them." It's just an excuse. He already has someone he loves, so how could he waste his life here? Besides, this woman is too cruel. Who would dare to marry a woman who offers a lifetime deal like this? Besides, he was a fake disciple of Youxiashan. He would be exposed as soon as he went out. If he really became husband and wife with the other party, he would be courting death. Xiang Lan'er also guessed that he was rejected by his ideal girlfriend, and subconsciously guessed that the person was Miao Yilan. Later, she also thought of the consequences of pretending to be a disciple of You Xiashan to deceive marriage. Seeing how scared this senior brother was, she couldn't help but try hard to suppress the curl of her lips. Hearing the reason, Mulan Qingqing gave in and said, "If you are not afraid that they will use this as a handle to threaten you after marriage, and if you have a better way to eliminate the trouble forever, you don't have to kill them." Shi Chun quickly raised his hand to stop him, "That's not the case. Although I'm not a gentleman, I will never do such a thing as forcing someone to marry me." Mulan Qingqing: "I forced you to give yourself to me." Xiang Lan'er could hardly hold back her smile. What was going on? It was clearly a matter of life and death, but how did it become a marriage discussion? Shi Chun said hurriedly: "It's all the same, there's no need, I really am not worthy of you, I dare not blaspheme, and there are many other ways, there's no need to do this. I thought like this: if I were given half of the troops, we would also get half of the previously obtained insect crystals. The two sides would compete with each other to see who got more insect crystals in the end. The side that found more insect crystals would naturally have the greater merit. The side with the greater merit would get all the insect crystals, and the ranking would be determined by the side with the greater merit. In this way, the grudge between you and me will be transformed into competition, and it will not affect Xuanzhou's victory. If I win in the end, it will also be my contribution to Xuanzhou with my ability. At that time, I will ask the domain master, and the domain master will definitely understand my concerns that Youxiashan has stolen the limelight from Suyuanzong, and will definitely protect me. " Mulan Qingqing coldly observed his crackling reactions and found that this man, who had been so reserved before, was frightened by the thought of becoming a couple, and all the tricks he had in mind immediately poured out like beans from a bamboo tube. She was both angry and amused. Was it so terrible to marry her? It was clearly a blessing that many people could not hope for. He acts as if he really likes him, without even taking a look at himself in the mirror. There was no reaction on her face, and she said calmly: "What if you lose?" Shi Chun: "If I lose, I will naturally admit defeat. At that point, we dare not reveal the truth and make such a big fuss. The reason for revealing it is that we can't afford to lose. Do you think we can bear the consequences? As long as this bet is successful, the matter will basically be over. What do you think?" Mulan Qingqing thought about it and said hesitantly: "It is indeed a solution, but it is too troublesome. To be honest, it is not as safe as my solution. Are you married?" Shi Chun: "It's not about whether I'm married or not. I won't do such a thing without any bottom line. I'd rather have some trouble." Mulan Qingqing: "This is not just a matter of trouble. If you don't act according to the rules, I don't have the ability to arbitrarily allocate thousands of people to you, and they won't listen to me." Shi Chun: "I have already thought of a solution for you. There are limited places in the final ranking of the conference, and many people are unhappy because they have worked hard but received no benefits. The dozens of people who ran away from Huyan Dao are your excuse. I don't want your elite soldiers and generals either. Just give me half of the people you don't like, just let them go and let them come to my side to be lazy. Many people had no choice but to save Su Yuanzong's face. If they can get through it safely, they will definitely be willing to come." Mulan Qingqing thought about it and it seemed to make sense, but she was suspicious of what he said, "You want to use your inferior manpower to compete with my superior manpower?" Shi Chun sneered and thought to himself, while I was leading my troops to fight all over the country, you were just standing there in a daze. He said calmly, "There is no such thing as inferior or inferior manpower. It depends on who is using it. In your hands, they may be a bunch of trash, but in my hands, they will scream and pounce on people and bite."

Being clearly despised, Mulan Qingqing was speechless. After staring at him for a while, she slowly said, "It's still impossible. Your method may be good, but I lack a reason. It's not okay to let them stay with anyone else. Why should I give them to you? I have no reason to assign them to you. Youxiashan's reputation is not worth it, unless..." Shi Chun: "Unless what?" Mulan Qingqing said calmly: "Unless the news is made public and it is said that you are my fiancé." "..." Shi Chun was stunned, his brows gradually twisted together, "I was wondering why you are here again, apart from relationships between men and women, can't you..." Mulan Qingqing interrupted, "It's fake. You don't have to take it seriously. It's just a temporary excuse." (End of this chapter)
