Lin Xiao looked up at Qi Tian, who had returned to the watchtower. He blinked, wondering what was going on.
Why had this guy just… ended it?
Not only had it ended, but he had also made it look as if nothing had happened, leaving Lin Xiao confused.
Was this to be expected of Qi Tian?
To be able to act as if nothing had happened, that thick skin… he couldn't learn that.
Perhaps only Qi Tian could do it.
For him, it was merely weighing his own interests against the greatest benefits. What he did was what he felt was most correct. Agreeing to the deal to act against him was, and choosing to give up after discovering the power of the golden dragon within his body was also, as were his previous dealings with him.
Therefore, he would not feel any guilt. The deal had failed, so he would compensate.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao sighed deeply, trying to calm his emotions. He then walked over to Qi Tian.
"Young Sect Master Qi Tian, can you tell me who you were making a deal with before?" Lin Xiao asked.
In his understanding, the most likely party for this deal was the United States… As for the people domestically, the Misty Immortal Palace might be able to provide Qi Tian with what he wanted, but he couldn't currently imagine why the Misty Immortal Palace would absolutely want to kill him.
Right now, he was helping the Misty Immortal Palace train its disciples, enhance its strength, and restore its former glory.
"I have principles," Qi Tian said without looking back.
As someone known in the circle for fair and just dealings, he naturally could not casually betray his trading partners.
"Then, let's make a deal."
Lin Xiao, at this moment, straightforwardly used Qi Tian's preferred method.
A deal.
Since you like to trade, I'll talk to you properly using the same method.
Upon hearing the word "deal," Qi Tian's eyes lit up.
He stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Lin Xiao: "What are you going to trade with me!"
As soon as he spoke, his eyes uncontrollably swept towards Lin Xiao's dantian. If Lin Xiao were willing to trade his True Dragon Qi with him, it wouldn't be impossible for him to bend his own principles…
"It's very simple."
Lin Xiao noticed the look in his eyes and narrowed his own. He said, "Since you chose to give up just now, it's obvious that you definitely know the identity of the golden dragon still circling outside."
"Of course I know."
Qi Tian immediately nodded. This was his bargaining chip, which could allow him to trade for more in the future.
"And since you gave up, it means that with the golden dragon in possession, my strength is greater than your three puppets," Lin Xiao continued, his thoughts clear, having already figured out the content of the deal.
"Yes, I am very aware of that, which is why I didn't want to waste my puppets," Qi Tian nodded.
"Then this deal is very simple," Lin Xiao said with a smile. "You tell me who it is, and I will guarantee your life."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two dropped to a freezing point once more.
This was both a deal and a threat.
Since Lin Xiao was now stronger than Qi Tian, his method of dealing could be more direct.
Might makes right, after all.
Instantly, the expectant look on Qi Tian's face vanished.
He looked at Lin Xiao.
"So, it's this kind of deal."
