Chapter 398 - Pre-war preparations

Wang Yuanba had personally experienced how difficult it was to deal with Old Man Green Bamboo, so he had no doubt that Ling Xiao had spent a lot of effort to take it down.

"Sect Leader Ling, since you have already said it so plainly, this old man is also not willing to beat around the bush. Why don't you tell me your request, Sect Leader Ling?" Wang Yuanba stretched out his hand and said.

Ling Xiao slightly smiled, and said: "My request is very simple; this Luoyang City will belong to me."

Hearing that, Wang Yuanba's face immediately became ugly, "Sect Leader Ling, what do you mean by that?"

"Is it hard to understand what I mean? I'll say it again, this Luoyang will belong to me." Ling Xiao said somewhat impatiently.

Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Wang Yuanba did not seem like he was joking. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Sect Leader Ling, forgive this old man's bluntness, but this is the Luoyang City, not the Huashan Mountain!"

"Of course I know that although I have come from Huashan Mountain, my ultimate goal is to rule over the entire world. This Luoyang City will belong to me sooner or later, and taking it down now would also be the same." Ling Xiao looked down at Wang Yuanba with a condescending and arrogant expression.

Facing Ling Xiao, Wang Yuanba could not display any kind of force, this feeling of inexplicably being suppressed made him unhappy, but he could do nothing about it.

Knowing that using brute force would definitely not make Ling Xiao surrender, Wang Yuanba did not want to provoke Huashan Mountain, because the latter was currently in a precarious situation.

Therefore, Wang Yuanba forced himself to calm down, and said: "Sect Leader Ling, this old man hopes that we can sincerely talk."

"I am already sincere enough. In the Luoyang City, there are many families that are stronger than you, and yet I chose you. Is that not sincere enough?" After Ling Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Even if the Luoyang City gave it to you, how would you manage it? The Huashan Mountain is located thousands of miles away, if something were to happen, how would you support it?" After hearing what Ling Xiao had to say, Wang Yuanba thought for a moment and said.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "That's a good question. I don't have so many people sent to the Luoyang City, so the most important thing is to rely on the people from the Luoyang City to manage it."

"What do you mean?" Wang Yuanba asked in confusion.

Ling Xiao stood up, stood and looked at Wang Yuanba, then said indifferently: "Clan Head Wang, are you willing to help me manage my Luoyang City?"

The scene immediately became silent. Wang Yuanba tightly clenched his fists, as if he was considering something in his heart.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao was not worried, but continued to sit and drink his tea-water.

After a long while, Wang Yuanba let out a long sigh, and said while nodding: "Alright, everything will be decided by Sect Leader Ling."

Wang Yuanba thought for a while in his heart, and knew that going against Ling Xiao's idea would definitely not end well. For now, it seemed that following Ling Xiao was the only way, which would not only protect Wang Family's position within the Luoyang City, but also allow him to leap into the position of a dragon head.

Hearing that Wang Yuanba agreed, Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh towards the sky.

"Hahaha, I knew that the Clan Head Wang was a sensible person, you're right to think like that, I will definitely not treat you unfairly." Ling Xiao smiled as he stood up and walked in front of Wang Yuanba, gently patting his shoulder, and said: "Then let's end this conversation here, I won't ask you to make any promises right now."

After he finished speaking, Ling Xiao prepared to leave.

Wang Yuanba reacted and asked: "Sect Leader Ling, when will you make the request?"

"Don't worry, I am not the type of person who would like to increase the price at a moment's notice. As for the request, I will think of a way to help you all become the number one family in Luoyang City before deciding on your next course of action. We will talk about it when tomorrow's guests arrive." Ling Xiao waved and left without looking back.

Watching Ling Xiao swaggering off, Wang Yuanba let out a heavy sigh. He had originally wanted to borrow Ling Xiao's power to obtain Old Man Green Bamboo's support so that he could become stronger, but he had never imagined that he would be the one to be used by Ling Xiao in the end.

Things had already gotten to this point. It was as if an arrow was about to be shot at a bow. There was no turning back now.

Everything seemed to be a secret between him and Ling Xiao, but after Ling Xiao left, Wang Yuanba immediately took action. He recalled all of the energy he had distributed outside one by one, and readied himself to cooperate fully with Ling Xiao.

Although he was unsatisfied with Ling Xiao's use of him, at that time, Wang Yuanba did not doubt what Ling Xiao had said to him.

"Ling Xiao, oh Ling Xiao, I hope you won't disappoint me!" After issuing all the summoning orders, Wang Yuanba muttered to himself.

When everyone in Wang Family had turned serious, Ling Xiao had leisurely gone out to take a walk around the city.

On the second day, Ling Xiao did not go see Wang Yuanba, but instead went to see Green Bamboo Lady.

This was what Ling Xiao had agreed to with the green bamboo aunt earlier.

When he arrived at the thatched hut, Ling Xiao saw that the door was open. The green bamboo nun was already waiting for him.

Seeing Ling Xiao's arrival, Aunt Green Bamboo's eyes moved, and she could feel a distinct smile on her face.

"You really came." Green Bamboo said.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "As a man, you have to keep your words. I promised you that I would come, so I will definitely come."

Green Bamboo's nun looked at Ling Xiao for a long time, then suddenly let out a heavy sigh, "Sect Leader Ling, do you know that I have been here for many years?"

"If you don't like it, why don't you leave this place?" Ling Xiao asked.

If only I could leave as I please, the people outside would hate where I came from and would naturally hate my identity. Like what the Old Man Green Bamboo said to me, if my identity were to be found out, I would definitely become the target of attention. Aunt Green Bamboo expressed his worry and helplessness.

Ling Xiao heard and laughed lightly: "What, aren't you worried about all these problems facing me?"

Green Bamboo's nun looked at Ling Xiao, shook her head and said, "Sect Leader Ling must be different from those people outside. If you were the same as them, why would you still come and see me?"

"I never thought that Uncle Green Bamboo would trust me this much, even Ling Xiao himself was a little surprised." I really didn't expect Uncle Green Bamboo to trust me this much, even Ling Xiao himself was surprised, "I really didn't think that Uncle Green Bamboo trusted me this much.

"Really?" She originally thought that Ling Xiao was just saying those things casually.
