"You don't recognize it?"

The Elder Detective laughed in anger. In the eyes of the White Tiger soldiers, an order from a superior was a military order, as unshakeable as a mountain.

Yuan Shi Tianzun's words were like hearing 'The Minotaur must die' to the scout.

The old detective turned his head, glaring at Fu Qingyang: "Is this the kind of soldier you train?"

Fu Qingyang remained unfazed, his tone calm:

"Good citizens don't become soldiers, and soldiers aren't kind. I don't see any problem with Yuan Shi's unruliness."

He made no mention of the deal.

The old detective's forehead veins throbbed, and he said:

"B-level merit, 20 million. This is the bottom line for the Huaihai Branch. If you don't agree, forget about the Yin-Yang Disc, but the Huaihai Branch will recommend to headquarters that Yuan Shi Tianzun disrespects the organization and disregards discipline. You'll be stuck at the bottom forever."

Zhang Yuanqing bowed, saying loudly:

"Well said! I urge the Elder Detective to recommend to headquarters that I be expelled from the Five Elements Alliance. Yuan Shi Tianzun is willing to be a rogue cultivator, and I'd be forever grateful! If you can do that, I'll offer the Yin-Yang Disc with both hands, taking not a single cent."

"Arrogant!"

The Elder Detective was enraged. The study was filled with a murderous aura, a truly perilous situation, making one feel as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss.

The hairs on the back of Zhang Yuanqing's hand stood on end, and goosebumps erupted on his back.

"Yuan Shi Tianzun, do you think you can look down on everything just because you're gifted? Do you think headquarters won't severely punish you?" the Elder Detective said sternly.

Zhang Yuanqing silently took out the Yin-Yang Disc, struggling against the oppressive force, and said loudly:

"The Elder Detective is using his power to bully and extort. Take it, then. I'm just a small Saint, I wouldn't dare have the slightest complaint."

With that, he offered the Yin-Yang Disc with both hands.

The veins on the Elder Detective's forehead bulged; he was already consumed by rage.

"Ahem!"

At this moment, Secretary Li cleared his throat, and the murderous aura in the room vanished without a trace. He said with a smile:

"I hear it, Yuan Shi, you have a grudge against headquarters. Since ancient times, a tree that stands taller than the rest is bound to be toppled by the wind. When young people are too sharp, they're easily cut down. Headquarters is trying to temper you so they can entrust you with important tasks in the future. It's all for your own good."

"Think about it. Killing a member of the organization, even a quasi-executive, even if they deserved it, is still a serious crime that warrants dismissal and imprisonment. But headquarters only demoted you and symbolically confined you for a month. Now they've even waived the month. Can't you see how much headquarters values you?"

"You're a Night Wanderer. To nurture you, the organization didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy strategies from the Taiyi Sect. When you needed materials, the organization provided them without any hesitation."

"These treatments, these benefits, ordinary members would break their heads trying to obtain. You should be considerate of headquarters."

He spoke gently and amiably, with a very low posture, every sentence filled with human sentiment, and never mentioned the Yin-Yang Disc.

'You two are playing good cop, bad cop, bullying me because I'm young.' Zhang Yuanqing saw through them with one sentence: "May I ask Secretary Li, is my contribution to the organization greater, or is the organization giving back to me more?"

There's no such thing as unmotivated love. Everything the official side gave him was earned by him. If they had to calculate it clearly, the benefits he brought to the official side were definitely more than what they gave him.

If they had to talk about contributions and human sentiment, who owed who?

Secretary Li's smile didn't change, and he said amiably: "I understand what you mean. Headquarters won't mistreat any meritorious officials. Your merits are all recorded and will be redeemed in the future."

"Secretary Li, that's not right. A mere Yin-Yang Disc will relegate me to the bottom forever. What good is that merit to me?" Zhang Yuanqing adopted an angry posture. Secretary Li waved his hand, his smile warm:

"That was just an angry remark. Don't take it seriously."

The Elder Detective snorted coldly.

"I know it was an angry remark, but the matter at the Jinghai Branch made me see through this thing called merit. It's indeed very useful, more useful than money, but as long as the right to redeem it isn't in my hands, it will always be in the hands of the higher-ups." Zhang Yuanqing chuckled.

"Whenever I'm disobedient, they'll give me a warning. This time, I won't be allowed to be promoted this year, next time, I won't be allowed to (This chapter is not over!)

Chapter 79: Deal Achieved

be promoted for two years. In short, as long as I keep thinking about my merit, I'll be obediently warned for the rest of my life."

"The more merit I have, the more sunk costs I have, and the more chains I'll have on my body. I'm like a donkey, with a carrot dangling in front of me. I watch the carrot and run and run, but I can never eat it."

"The day I eat it, it means I've been completely tamed, right, Secretary Li."

The smile on Secretary Li's face slowly disappeared, and he said in a deep voice:

"Yuan Shi Tianzun, do you know how unruly these words of yours are? Do you know that these words may cause headquarters to revise their evaluation of you? Don't sabotage yourself."

"Fire Masters are rash and reckless, Wood Demons are lewd and whimsical, Water Ghosts are fickle and gloomy, Earth Monsters are stubborn, and Scouts are domineering. Every profession has its character flaws. The Five Elements Alliance can tolerate them, so why can't it tolerate my Yuan Shi Tianzun's unruliness?" Zhang Yuanqing looked at him with a determined gaze, his tone rarely serious.

"If it can't tolerate me, it can just expel me."

Silence fell in the study for a moment. @Essence\/Book Pavilionj·h·s·s·d·c·o·m first published update~~

Fu Qingyang stared at Yuan Shi Tianzun with a profound gaze, his expression deep and unreadable.

Yuan Shi Tianzun's words were 'rehearsed' in advance. Joking and smiling wouldn't mean much to headquarters. Appropriate toughness was the only way to get headquarters to compromise. Headquarters wouldn't strongly suppress Yuan Shi Tianzun for a single item; it wouldn't be worth it.

But aside from this, Fu Qingyang's suggestion for Yuan Shi Tianzun to face headquarters with a tough attitude had another deeper meaning. He wanted to take this opportunity to see the real Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Some personalities can't be seen in ordinary times, but only when things happen.

At this time, Fu Qingyang looked at the unruly Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Doctor Sun's words once again appeared in his mind.

Was it possible that this was the real Yuan Shi Tianzun? After he became a The Way of the Extraordinary, his abilities became stronger and his level became higher, and he subconsciously felt that he no longer needed to pretend, so he gradually began to reveal his true personality.

'The real you is unruly, biased, and eccentric,' Fu Qingyang sighed lightly in his heart.

Secretary Li put away his smile, and his face was no longer warm. He said indifferently: "Yuan Shi Tianzun, then what do you want?"

"Twenty million in cash, a Saint-grade item, restore my quota of 100 million in materials, three opportunities to use the Yin-Yang Disc, and B-level merit." Zhang Yuanqing said: "It doesn't matter if you don't give me merit. Thirty million in cash, two Saint-grade items, and everything else remains the same."

The former was a step-down price, and if headquarters chose the latter, it meant the conflict was already very deep.

So this was also Zhang Yuanqing's test of headquarters.

Secretary Li took a deep look at him: "I will report it to headquarters and give you a reply within three working days."

After saying that, he nodded slightly towards Fu Qingyang, walked along the red carpet, and left the study.

After the two left Fu Qingyang's villa and drove away from the Fū Family Bay villa in a business car, the Elder Detective suddenly laughed:

"Not bad. Especially Fu Qingyang's outrageous demands. This price is within an acceptable range."

In fact, what the Huaihai Branch really had to pay for this deal was 20 million in cash, a Saint-grade item, and three opportunities to use the disc.

As for the quota of 100 million in materials, it was originally Yuan Shi Tianzun's reward, and now it was just being restored.

Secretary Li opened the refrigerator and poured two glasses of wine. "We'll grind it down later. We'll save what we can save. Do you think Yuan Shi Tianzun was acting just now, or was he being sincere?"

The Elder Detective put away his smile:

"I suggest headquarters revise their assessment of him. Everything he said just now was true. This child should be taught, not suppressed. If you push him too hard, he'll make a scene in heaven. In the future, you have to be especially careful when dealing with his problems."

"Either break his pride all at once, or give him benefits without giving him positions, and treat him as an unparalleled weapon."

"I will report your suggestion," Secretary Li took a sip of wine and sighed: "It seems like we recruited a Sun Wukong."

Small-sized villa.

Li Chunfeng was sitting at his computer desk, typing away at the keyboard:

"Yuan Shi Tianzun didn't like the three items. (This chapter is not over!)

Chapter 79: Deal Achieved

He wants a Saint-grade top-quality or superb-quality item. If you want to clear out your inventory, you can consider selling it to him."

"He just brought back the Huaihai Branch's Yin-Yang Disc from the Sea of Yáshān, as well as the Xie Family's Saint Infant head. He has plenty of money and items."

After editing the short email, he clicked send.

Then Li Chunfeng closed his computer, walked out of the room, and went to the living room to entertain the Xie Family Patriarch.

Xie Lingxi hugged her father's arm, leaning against him like a considerate and obedient little padded jacket.

She had just introduced the two older sisters who 'took good care' of her. Seeing Li Chunfeng come out, she said in a solemn tone:

"This is Li Chunfeng, a Scholar. He's the Zhuge Liang of our team."

The gentle and handsome Xie Su nodded and smiled:

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter. This is my business card. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to contact me."

Li Chunfeng, who didn't like socializing, rarely smiled, bowing as he took the business card:

"Greetings, Patriarch Xie."

The group chatted and drank tea. Guan Ya, as expected of a young lady from a noble family, wasn't afraid of Patriarch Xie at all. She could keep up with the conversation and bring up topics of a high enough level.

They exchanged pleasantries for more than ten minutes, until Zhang Yuanqing returned.

"Oh, Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhang Yuanqing's face was full of smiles, and he changed his attitude of alienation and coldness in the study. He enthusiastically shook Xie Su's hand and said:

"Uncle is graceful and has an extraordinary bearing. Only after seeing Uncle did I realize why Lingxi is so beautiful. It's all inherited from you."

"There were outsiders present just now, so I had no choice but to make outrageous demands. Uncle, please forgive me."

In fact, before the meeting, Xie Su had already received a text message from his daughter, so he was prepared for the conversation in the study and knew that Yuan Shi Tianzun was acting.

But he didn't expect Yuan Shi Tianzun to be like his daughter said, handling things properly, being tactful, and being good at socializing.

The secretary of the Five Elements Alliance's elder has become an outsider. These words sound really good.

How could someone like this do such a foolish thing as killing an official member? There must be something fishy about it.

He immediately had a change of heart.

"Nephew, the price of the Saint Infant, we need to talk about it again," said Xie's father.

"Of course." Zhang Yuanqing sat down next to Guan Ya and said: "Fifteen life essences, 50 million in cash, plus two Saint-grade items, and three opportunities to use the Saint Infant's head."

Among them, 50 million was the least valuable.

Xie Su thought for a few seconds and said:

"Is just the Saint realm okay?"

The quality of Saint realm items varies greatly. Some are so powerful that they defy the heavens, like the Yin-Yang Disc. Others are like chicken ribs.

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said: "I believe Uncle won't try to trick me with garbage."

Xie Su nodded with a smile.

"The price is fair, but I want to add two points. First, the fifteen life essences will be paid in installments, with five given each month. It's not that I don't want to give them to you, but the production of life essences is limited. Second, every time you use the Saint Infant's head, you have to leave an item of sufficient value as collateral."

The Saint Infant is a high-level rule-based item component, and its value is much higher than the Yin-Yang Disc. Yuan Shi Tianzun's asking price is still fair.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Okay!" Zhang Yuanqing agreed readily.

The deal was done, and the smile on Xie Su's face became even deeper. He patted his daughter's head and said

"Lingxi, Dad is going to stay in Songhai for a few more days to visit some old friends. You come with me. Stay at the hotel with me these days."

Tsk tsk, is he going to introduce his connections in Songhai to his daughter? The second generation is so good. The connections of the elders are their own connections Zhang Yuanqing is very envious. Unlike children from grassroots families like him, all their connections rely on bowing and begging.

Of course, Xie Su had another reason for staying in Songhai, that is, the negotiation was too smooth, so how could he show the difficulty of the negotiation.

Three days later, headquarters gave a feedback and chose the first price given by Yuan Shi Tianzun:

50 million in cash, a Saint-grade item, three opportunities to use the Yin-Yang Disc, and B-level merit.

Attachment (This chapter is not over!)

Chapter 79: Deal Achieved

The additional condition is that each time the Yin-Yang Disc is borrowed, it needs to be approved by Fu Qingyang. Once the disc is lost, all the items given by the Huaihai Branch will be returned, and the A-level merit will be erased.

The Xie family also agreed to the requirements proposed by Zhang Yuanqing. For the Xie family, this was the price that their patriarch had negotiated repeatedly and painstakingly.

In the study, Fu Qingyang placed a light and thin armor on the table, saying:

"Headquarters has already taken a step back. Similar games can only be played once. Try to do less in the future. They chose an armor to give you on purpose to disgust you, which is enough to show that some people are already very dissatisfied."

Zhang Yuanqing already had a defensive magic weapon, and it was given by headquarters.

Fu Qingyang said: "Those ten old guys have high positions and great power. If you anger them, not to mention you, I won't have a good time either."

"Ten old guys?" Zhang Yuanqing was not very clear about the structure of headquarters.

"There are ten elders in headquarters. The league masters basically don't care about things. The Five Elements Alliance is actually controlled by ten people. Small things are decided by general meetings, and big things are discussed by those ten old guys behind closed doors. The elders of the major branches are all factions of those ten old guys. The Great Elder of the Five Elements Alliance is also rotated by that guy. If the elder is a local warlord, then the ten old guys in headquarters are the cabinet," said Fu Qingyang.

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood. He suddenly remembered that Elder Gou had said that Fu Qingyang wanted to enter headquarters. At that time, he didn't feel anything and only thought that Young Master Qian wanted to transfer to headquarters to work.

Now that he thought about it, Young Master Qian was ambitious. He wanted to be the eleventh person.

No wonder the resistance was so great. How could it not be great?

There were only so many positions and so much power. If Fu Qingyang wanted to enter headquarters, others would have to give up power and benefits.

"Did the Marshal also enter headquarters back then?" Zhang Yuanqing tentatively asked cautiously.

Fu Qingyang's expression suddenly became strange, "After she was promoted to the Dominator, she began to conquer the gang dungeon. She entered the dungeon at the beginning of the year and came out at the end of the year. She became a demigod and directly inherited the inheritance of the old league master."

If this is trash, then the two of us are ants, boss.

When Zhang Yuanqing had this thought in his mind, he was looking down, specifically to prevent the Scout's mind-reading technique.

"But even a genius like the Marshal is still trash in front of you, boss." Zhang Yuanqing said against his will, looking down.

"Yes, talent is brought from the womb and cannot be the standard for measuring a strong person. The real strong person lies in the heart." Fu Qingyang deeply agreed, and then asked: "Why don't you look up?"

"In front of the strong, I can only look down." Zhang Yuanqing said loudly.

Leaving Fu Qingyang's study and using the Star Escape Technique to return to his bedroom, Zhang Yuanqing placed the three items given by headquarters and the Xie family on his desk.

He planned to distribute these items to his teammates. Now he had a lot of Saint-grade items, so he could appropriately distribute them to his subordinates and arm them.

This was more valuable than keeping them in his item bar.

Guan Ya was a young lady from a wealthy family. She would be pleasantly surprised to receive a Saint-grade item, but not too exaggerated. Little Green Tea was a minor, and she definitely didn't have any Saint-grade items, so she would happily call him Big Brother is so good.

Sending it to the Queen was the most cost-effective. Saint-level items, even of lower quality, were treasures she could only dream of. She would probably be so excited that she would promise herself to him.

He thought wildly in his mind.

In terms of cash, the 20 million given by the Huaihai Branch, plus the 50 million from the Xie family, and his own savings, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he was now a big boss worth over 100 million.

He planned to keep the money to buy a superb item from the big boss behind Li Chunfeng. The asking price for the Sliding Shovel Shoes was 100 million.

Of course, Mr. Bill gave the price based on everyone's friendship. Normally speaking, superb items in the Saint stage already have no price on the market.

But Zhang Yuanqing also has other Saint-level items and scarce items such as life essence.

Now he was just waiting for feedback from Li Chunfeng.

Xie Family, deep in the forest garden. Browse*Search*Engine: @Essence\/Book Pavilion……Fastest Update!

Xie Family Ancestral Hall, Xie Su stood in front of the closed wooden doors, holding the Saint (This chapter is not over!)

Chapter 79: Deal Achieved

Infant's head in his hands, and bowing:

"Ancestor, grandson has brought back the Saint Infant for you."

A hoarse and aged voice came from the ancestral hall:

"I have heard about your efforts in the Songhai branch, and you have done a good job. From now on, you will be responsible for keeping the Saint Infant's head."

"This, how can this be," Xie Su said in a horrified tone, refusing in a hurry: "This is the item of the Third House, Ancestor, it would not be appropriate for you to give it to me."

"The Saint Infant's head should be controlled by the patriarch. I gave it to the Third House back then, and that was already favoritism. Since they can't keep this item safe, then change to a more capable person." The ancestor's voice was old and hoarse, but it carried an undeniable majesty: "I'm giving it to you, so just take it and don't pretend to decline."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Xie Su immediately bowed down, suppressing his excitement, and said loudly: "Thank you, Ancestor."

The ancestor "hmm"ed and said: "That The Way of the Extraordinary from the Songhai branch, is he close to your girl?"

"They have an excellent relationship," Xie Su said with a smile.

"Then marry her to The Way of the Extraordinary."

"Ancestor, Lingxi is still a minor and is not suitable for marriage," Xie Su said unexpectedly.

The ancestor's voice came from behind the wooden door: "She's 17 years old and should have been married long ago."

Xie Su smiled wryly: "This is not the old days after all, Ancestor, different times, different laws."

Laughter came from the ancestral hall:

"Boy, when I was roaming the Spirit Realm, the Qing Dynasty was still around. I have seen more dead people than you have seen living people. Are you talking to me about laws? Bring him to see me at the crab feast in September this year, and we will decide on this matter then."

Xie Su said respectfully: "Grandson understands."

He put the Saint Infant's head into his item bar, and left the ancestral hall with a red face. After September, Xie Lingxi will be eighteen years old.

In the living room, Zhang Yuanqing and his teammates were having lunch together. He said: "Queen, Lingxi, come to my room after you eat."

He was going to distribute the items.

Xie Lingxi looked embarrassed: "Brother The Way of the Extraordinary, Sister Guan Ya is still here, how can you make such an excessive request?"

You're really taking every opportunity to provoke my relationship with Guan Ya, but did you forget that she is a Scout? Before you even open your mouth, she knows what's on your mind.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't bother to pay attention to her. He opened the forum and checked the latest news while eating.

Who knew that as soon as he logged into the forum, a post at the top of the page attracted his attention.

#The Huaihai Branch's hooligan disc was subdued by The Way of the Extraordinary - Only a hooligan can subdue a hooligan#

Zhang Yuanqing stared blankly at the post, and after a long time, he muttered two words: "F**k!"

The most worrying thing has happened, the Huaihai branch must be slandering me! !

Chapter 79: Deal Achieved
