Chapter 1543: Chapter 1542 Great Might Dragon Gate

Looking at the current situation, if Su Yang wants to completely win this negotiation, he must obtain the support of the Great Might Dragon Gate.

But the problem is, how can the Great Might Dragon Gate be won over?

The dean has already dispatched several groups to contact the Great Might Dragon Gate, but none received a satisfactory response. The replies from the Great Might Dragon Gate have been vague, making it impossible to determine whom they actually intend to support, which has left Qinghe Academy in a difficult position.

By the afternoon, there was still no definite response from the Great Might Dragon Gate.

In fact, when Qinghe Academy sent people to persuade the Great Might Dragon Gate, members of the Four Great Sects, including the Medicine Sect, were also there trying to persuade the Great Might Dragon Gate.

By six in the afternoon, there was still no answer from the Great Might Dragon Gate, and Su Yang finally couldn’t sit still. He went to the dean and requested to negotiate with the Great Might Dragon Gate personally.

The dean was also a bit overwhelmed at this point because, based on the information he had received, it seemed the Great Might Dragon Gate was leaning towards the four sects. He didn’t know what those four sects had done, but the current situation was indeed unfavorable for their side!

”What are you going to negotiate with them about?” the dean asked. ”The people of the Great Might Dragon Gate have no real connection with Su Zhan. Moreover, these people are very cunning, and there’s no talk of repaying favors anymore.”

”I know!” Su Yang said, ”That’s why I want to go talk to them personally. I need to know what they want.”

”We’ve already promised a lot, and they still won’t agree,” the dean said.

”I still want to try!” Su Yang insisted.

Seeing Su Yang’s determined look, the dean said nothing more and had people escort Su Yang to find the people of the Great Might Dragon Gate.

Upon arriving at the Great Might Dragon Gate, Su Yang realized that not only were his people there, but members of the Medicine Sect and Horizon’s End were too.

The people of Qinghe Academy brought Su Yang in, and upon entering the hall, he saw the Second Elder of the Medicine Sect and Ki Yongchuan sitting there, drinking tea with Protector Wu Zheng of the Great Might Dragon Gate.

Seeing Su Yang come in, both the Second Elder and Ki Yongchuan’s expressions turned cold, while Wu Zheng stood up with a smile. ”Ah, what a pleasant surprise that Alliance Leader Su has graced us with a visit, truly making my Great Might Dragon Gate shine! Please, have a seat! Someone, bring tea!”

Wu Zheng warmly pulled Su Yang over to sit down, as if they really had a good relationship.

The expressions of the Second Elder and Ki Yongchuan became even colder. They knew very well that Wu Zheng had no direct relations with Su Yang. This was just for show to raise the stakes against them.

The two had already promised a lot to Wu Zheng here, but Wu Zheng still hadn’t agreed to support them. It was clear that Wu Zheng had a large appetite and wanted more, which was why he was acting this way towards Su Yang, obviously a reminder to them.

Su Yang sat down at the table, glanced at the Second Elder and Ki Yongchuan, and sneered, ”Protector Wu, why are you sitting here having tea with these two ungrateful bastards? This could tarnish your reputation!”

”Damn it, who are you calling!” Ki Yongchuan slammed the table and stood up.

The few teachers from Qinghe Academy behind Su Yang also stood up straight away, confronting Ki Yongchuan.

Su Yang didn’t even glance in his direction, slowly sipped a cup of tea, and chuckled, ”Protector Wu, you must have heard of the great favor my father did for the Medicine Sect back then, right? And with Horizon’s End, if my father hadn’t helped them solve their crisis against a formidable enemy, Young Qi might be begging on the streets now. Yet, these two show no gratitude at all and even want to kill me to silence me.”

Su Yang put down the teacup, glanced at the two again, and sighed, ”Tsk, tsk, human nature really is dark. That’s why I keep saying, my father was really poor in judging people. How did he end up helping these ungrateful wolves and dogs? He helped them earlier, and they immediately repaid kindness with enmity. Do you still call this human?”

”Heh...” Wu Zheng smiled faintly, not saying anything, but giving the two a wary glance.

Su Yang’s words were a subtle hint. If these two could be so ungrateful, burning bridges with Su Zhan, they wouldn’t keep any gratitude towards the Great Might Dragon Gate either. If the Great Might Dragon Gate helped them this time, they might just burn the bridge in the future!

”You blasted Su, watch your mouth!” Ki Yongchuan exclaimed loudly, ”Our Horizon’s End was fully capable of dealing with that enemy ourselves. It’s just that person was also an enemy of your father, and they coincidentally settled their own grudges first. He wasn’t helping our Horizon’s End!”

”Young Qi, everyone knows the truth here, and Protector Wu experienced that period. Doesn’t Protector Wu know what really happened?” Su Yang sneered. ”Are you insulting Protector Wu’s intelligence by saying such things now?”

”You...” Ki Yongchuan fumed but didn’t know how to retort.

Actually, Su Yang wasn’t lying at all; it was just that he didn’t want to acknowledge the favor Su Zhan had done for them.

And this matter was known by basically the entire Ten Great Sects. Lying about it now was pointless, and Wu Zheng surely knew about it!

The Second Elder’s expression was icy as he slapped the table and said in a deep voice, ”Enough talk! Protector Wu, the conditions we offered earlier, we’ll double them. What do you think?”

A gleam flashed in Wu Zheng’s eyes, visibly stirred.

”I’ll offer triple!” Su Yang immediately said.

Wu Zheng gave Su Yang an astonished glance, while the Second Elder widened his eyes and said angrily, ”Triple what? Do you even know what conditions I offered? You’re just trying to deceive, making empty promises?”

”Ha, it’s like you’re not deceitful!” Su Yang scoffed. ”Burning bridges is what you’re best at. After this is done, and your strength grows, what benefits could the Great Might Dragon Gate still get? When bargaining with a tiger’s skin, you should consider whether you have the strength to tussle with the tiger!”

A gleam flashed again in Wu Zheng’s eyes; Su Yang’s words resonated with him.

”You...” The Second Elder still wanted to speak, but Wu Zheng stood up directly, ”Second Elder, Young Qi, I will consider what you’ve said carefully. However, I still have guests now, so I won’t keep you two any longer!”

The two frowned simultaneously. The Second Elder said in a deep voice, ”Protector Wu, the wise know when to yield to circumstances!”

Wu Zheng smiled, ”The Great Might Dragon Gate has always been wise enough to yield to circumstances. Furthermore, the conditions offered by the Second Elder and Young Qi are so good, we truly wouldn’t want to forgo them. However, now that Alliance Leader Su is here, we must at least give him the opportunity to speak, don’t you agree?”
