As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
Although Ling Yao felt that sneaking into the Temple of the God King with his identity was tantamount to a little rabbit wearing tiger skin running into the tiger's den.
But there was the temptation of real interests in the front (he was very poor in the sect after replacing the Chengying Sword), and there was another big tiger, Qu Qianling, coercing him behind his back... Well, I can't let my uncle hear this.
In short, Ling Yao finally gave in and took Xiao Lan Tiao, who didn't know that he was almost abandoned, with the attendants of the God King Temple to meet the priest Lang Yue.
Although the uncle didn't like him very much, he wouldn't do anything to save her when he was working hard for her.
So compared to yesterday, at least now he still had Qu Qianling behind him. He was a little more confident than before, and he also had a way out to save his life.
But the moment he saw Lang Yue in the God King Temple, Ling Yao still retreated in his heart.
Good guy, isn't this the priest who was also standing behind Da Xikang at the time? Not to mention full of momentum, he is also a smiling tiger!
Fortunately, Ling Yao's expression management was quite good, and he didn't make a fool of himself in front of others.
Moreover, now that Lang Yue wanted to beg him and win over him, he couldn't show his cowardice first.
This ice python that temporarily obeyed his orders for some unknown reason is his best bargaining chip in this "negotiation"!
…
The waiter who came in to pour tea pushed the door open and sighed with relief.
After the young man entered the room, he had been chatting with Priest Langyue for two hours.
This is also the fifth time he has gone in to change the tea.
But every time he came in, the two people who were "talking and laughing" would invariably close their mouths and watch him put in new tea, fill the teacups, and then leave with the tray...
The attendant said there was a lot of pressure.
He has served Master Lang Yue for many years, and he was already his attendant when he first entered the Temple of the God King.
But he had never seen this gentleman talking to other people for such a long time - even when Lang Yue was the high priest, he never talked like this with the tribal leaders.
He also roughly knows the purpose of recruiting this young man - because he is worthy of being recruited by the Temple of the God King, and Master Lang Yue wants to be his first introducer and draw him under his command.
Although this gentleman was forced to step down from his position as high priest, he never gave up his ambition to reach the top again.
Presumably, he regarded this young man as the best opportunity for him to return to the top.
So it is reasonable to be so solemn.
But... this time is too long.
If he hadn't gone in to change the tea and knew that the two people had been sitting on the cave talking, he would have almost suspected that Master Lang suddenly changed his sexual orientation and became interested in the handsome young man.
This was not because Lang Yue's negotiating skills had declined, or that the majesty with which he had once appointed high priest had waned over the years.
But his opponent is more powerful than imagined.
That young man not only had the capital to win over, but also knew how to use this precious "wealth"; and he would use the best words to obtain the greatest benefits without angering Lang Yue.
It would be best if we could win over such a powerful person, but just in case...
Squeak——
The door was pushed open.
"Why are you still here!" Lang Yue frowned and asked loudly.
"Yes... I'm sorry, sir! I was distracted! I'm very sorry!"
The attendant quickly knelt down and lay on the ground.
Fortunately, the reception room had already been soundproofed, so even if he stood outside the door, there was no way he could overhear their conversation. So he didn't have to worry that Lang Yue would doubt him.
"Hmph. Forget it this time. Don't do it next time! By the way, go and tell the people in the kitchen to prepare! This Lord Yaolin will stay at the Temple of the God King for dinner tonight."
"Oh, Master Lang is so polite, I am so frightened."
The young man smiled and waved his hand.
"How can that be done! You are now a distinguished guest of our God King Temple, so naturally you have to entertain us well! With your ability, let alone greeting you as sir, I will directly grant you the position of priest, that's no problem!"
"Hey! I'm just a favor from heaven. How can I compare to the priests? Don't belittle yourself, Mr. Lang! But since you invited me, I don't dare to refuse. I have to thank you for your hospitality for this meal. .”
Attendant: ...Are all your conversations that scary? Can you even talk to a priest who descended from heaven? Fortunately, I didn't hear it!
A blue cloth tip suddenly popped out of the young man's turban, making a hissing sound.
"Hahahaha, of course, I won't treat Master Binglan badly!"
Lang Yue suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
The attendant glanced at the blue cloth, and after a closer look, he realized that it was actually a snake-like monster!
Moreover, with his Danyang Realm strength, he could not detect the reality of this snake - indicating that the opponent was at least level five!
Being able to get along so closely with a fifth-level snake-like monster, he even seemed to be submissive to his orders. No wonder Lord Lang Yue is so eager to recruit this person!
The attendant seemed to have finally come to his senses, and with another clasp of his head on the ground, he took the order.
After four hours of "friendly communication", Ling Yao, with his sharp tongue, finally dispelled Lang Yue's initial doubts about his status as an "outsider" - or in other words, he pretended not to have any more doubts;
Then, he showed off his position and attitude in front of Lang Yue, giving the other party a reassurance that "the other party is not a spy that other people in the Shenwang Temple have already won over";
Then comes the stage where both parties discuss "interests" and "benefits", test each other's bottom lines, and show off their chips to each other.
Finally, after more than two hours of tug-of-war and more than 10,000 words omitted by the author, the two foxes finally reached a preliminary consensus:
Ling Yao will not join the Temple of the God King, will not sign contracts and documents, and will not take sides openly; but he will be "recommended" by Lang Yue to the attention of everyone in the Temple of the God King, and will stand by Lang Yue in various major events. Yue's side gives him more leverage and voice.
And Lang Yue will also use his status to provide maximum convenience for Ling Yao's activities in the Temple of the God King.
This "negotiation" was undoubtedly exciting.
But now everything is just words and has not yet been implemented. The two people are not tied to a chariot yet, so these "consensus" ultimately depend on whether both parties can implement them.
Uh... To put it bluntly, it's just a negotiation. Without a contract, it may be useless at the critical moment.
Of course, this is already the limit of Ling Yao's ability. After all, he has not paid anything yet. How can he expect an old fox to invest heavily in him when he has gained nothing?
So in general, Ling Yao was quite satisfied with the outcome of this exhausting negotiation.
It's just...really tiring.
Although he and this old man chatted happily, they often broke out in cold sweat while chatting, all supported by a fake smile.
After all, he is a big boss of the enemy camp!
However, it was not time for him to retreat yet.
Lang Yue stayed him for a meal and took him to visit the Temple of the God King, just to complete his role as "introducer".
And he can also take this opportunity to detect the internal structure of the Temple of the God King and find out the location of the so-called "Holy Spring".
He also knew it was risky, but what could he do? If you don’t help the uncle with your work, you will die if you go back!
awful.
He didn't know what the grudge between the master and his uncle was, so why did he find the master to calm things down for him? He's obviously here to cause trouble, wuwuwu!
Lang Yue enthusiastically took him to visit the Temple of the God King - of course, it was impossible for him to see the holy spring and other forbidden places.
However, Ling Yao could also use this to outline the general structure of the various palaces in his mind. With his current strength in the Pure Phase Realm, it is not difficult to have a photographic memory.
Then... Lang Yue took him to meet the high priest, Da Xikang.
Although it is said that an ugly daughter-in-law should also meet her parents-in-law (what kind of metaphor is this), but in the Temple of the God King, Lang Yue took him to see Da Xikang, and of course he also met Nan Rong and Qiu...
To be honest, Ling Yao felt quite embarrassed.
There was no need for Lang Yue and Ling Yao to introduce themselves. Da Xikang immediately saw the ice python that trusted Ling Yao and even obeyed Ling Yao's words.
Moreover, the high priest was obviously more discerning, and he could see the special feature of this ice python at a glance - it should have the strength of seventh level, and after recovery, it would have the capital to transform into a dragon.
This might...be the one with the most potential among the existing snake monsters in Rukawa.
No wonder Lang Yue brought this person to the priests to ask for credit. This is because I want to take advantage of the credit of introducing this person, win over contacts, slowly accumulate them, and then compete with myself.
However... Da Xikang's expression remained unchanged, and his smile even became more kind and gentle:
"With such ability, you must be the messenger chosen by Master Snake Spirit. It is a blessing from Tongtian Snake Spirit and an honor for us to have such a young talent join the Temple of the God King. We welcome him most."
After saying this, he put his hand on his chest and bowed down to salute Ling Yao!
——Does Lang Yue still think that with this ability, he can make a comeback and regain the position of high priest from him?
——That guy has no idea what he has missed after staying in the position of high priest for so many years.
——He doesn't care about his little actions at all, because now he has already been favored by the snake spirit and is invincible. He is reborn and seeks eternal life...
Upon seeing this, the other priests saluted in the same manner although they did not know the truth.
The young man suddenly became frightened and bowed in obedience.
On the contrary, Lang Yue, who had previously had the tendency to claim credit, unexpectedly used this method to beat Xikang down, implying that he disrespected Lord Snake Spirit's envoy, making him unable to step down!
It's a pity that now he is mute and can't express his pain, so he can only pretend not to understand and salute Ling Yao like everyone else.
But...of course there is one among the priests who will not be willing to do so.
"That's him! It was he who coaxed the snake into killing the priest candidate Gu Mingtai! How could he be Lord Snake Spirit's envoy? He is not from Rukawa at all! He is clearly a liar!"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the short figure standing behind Da Xikang.
Nan Rong and Qiu looked quite angry at this moment.
Although he could not read Ling Yao's "memory", he could infer from the memory of "Han Hanlin" that this "Yao Lin" was actually from Changling Jianmen.
Who doesn’t know that Changling Jianmen had a relationship with the former high priest Lang Yue?
He deliberately concealed this, and only told Lang Yue that Ling Yao could control snakes, so that Lang Yue wanted to bribe Ling Yao, but when he investigated the other party, he discovered the truth and used it to kill people and get rid of Ling Yao. .
But now, Lang Yue personally recommended Ling Yao to the teacher.
Things didn't develop as he imagined at all!
And the teacher actually gave him such high courtesy! Can he not be angry?
However, just when Nan Rong and Qiu wanted to say something else, Ling Yao's eyes widened with a look of surprise:
"Huh? Is it you? Are you from the Temple of the God King? Ah, no, are you actually the priest?"
Da Xikang didn't turn his head at first, but now he looked at Nan Rong and Qiu:
"Heqiu, did you know him originally?"
"I……"
Nan Rong and Qiu were caught off guard by this turn of events. When they were about to defend themselves, Ling Yao beat them to it:
"It's my fault! I met this gentleman outside the Temple of the God King earlier, and he seemed to criticize me. It turned out to be because of Gu Mingtai.
"I didn't know the identity of this gentleman at the time. I just thought he was an orphaned child from some tribe. I just took him to the Temple of the God King along the way. I was rude on the way. I hope you will forgive me!"
After saying that, Ling Yao bowed deeply again.
Nan Rong and Qiu:? ? ? What? ? ? Was that true then? ? ? Do you really feel guilty about your "faux pas"? !
You said it so seriously that I, the client, almost believed it!
