Double Cultivation
alliance with the Xie family
The entire place became silent after Lord Xie's question to Su Yang, and the Xie Family glared at him as if they wanted to eat him alive.
"If you already know the answer, why bother asking?" Su Yang said a while later with a calm expression on his face.
"In case you decide to exceed my expectations and surprise me, even if the opportunity might be almost non-existent."
"So so ..." Su Yang slowly nodded his head, and he replied a moment later in a clear voice, "I refuse."
A bitter smile appeared on Lord Xie's face after hearing his words. Although he had already expected this answer, it still puzzled him that someone had actually rejected his offer. In fact, Su Yang was the first to reject his offer, setting a precedent.
"you may already know the reason, but if you don't know.." Su Yang cleared his throat before continuing to speak, "By accepting your offer, you will have no idea, The Profound Flower Sect basically admitted to the world that we would humble ourselves and submit before you and the Xie Family.being one of your 'strengths' like any other Elite Sect, and I will not allow the Profound Flower Sect to become a henchman for anyone."
"The Profound Sect of Flowers will continue to grow, and will eventually become one of the strongest powers in the entire world" he continued.
"…"
Lord Xie looked at Su Yang with a serious expression on his face, and he spoke, "What is your goal? Why do you want the Profound Flower Sect to have so much power? What did you get out of it?"
"My destination? I don't really have it, nor do I expect to get rewarded for my efforts. As for why I want the Profound Flower Sect to have so much power .. Isn't it the Sect Master's responsibility to strengthen, expand, and make a name for their own Sect? Didn't everyone want the best for their own Sect? I did not take the position of Sect Master just for show, and like every Sect Master out there, I will do everything in my power to improve my Sect, Although there is one difference between me and the other— I actually have the ability to make the Profound Flower Sect stand at the top of this world, and that is what I want to do."
After a moment of silence, Su Yang continued to say, "No need for scary faces. Although the Profound Flower Sect is destined to surpass the Xie Family in every way, you need not worry about us taking your family position as the ruler of the Eastern Continent. "
"And I have to believe your words? How do I know that you won't do otherwise in the future?" Lord Xie asked with a frown.
"You won't know." Su Yang shrugged his shoulders. "After all, it's not as if the Profound Flower Sect has yet to have what it takes to take over the entire world. If I care about ruling the Eastern Continent, I've been doing it a long time."
"…"
"Don't get too hot after breakfast, you two." Xie Wang was the first to break the awkward silence, and he looked at Su Yang and said, "We already know that you have the ability to rule the Eastern Continent even before I witnessed your fight with experts from the Sacred Middle Continent, or we won't sit here in peace."
Su Yang nodded and said, "As long as you don't cause trouble for my Profound Flower Sect or stick your hands in a place that doesn't belong to him, either, we will also keep our own hands and operate only in our own territory. If you're still worried, I can sign a contract or even a peace treaty."
"…"
Xie Wang and Lord Xie exchanged glances with each other. They actually liked Su Yang's idea of signing a peace treaty.
However, before they could even open their mouths, Xie Xingfang spoke first, "Rather than the peace treaty that made it sound as if we were enemies at one point, he said, why don't we form an alliance with each other? Like how the Profound Flower Sect formed an Alliance with the Burning Lotus Sect and the Heavenly Swan Sect. This way, the Profound Flower Sect will not be above or below us, and we will exist as equals."
"Alliance, huh? I can also do that," Su Yang nodded.
"What do you think, Dad? Grandpa? Are you willing to form an Alliance with Su Yang and the Profound Flower Sect?" Xie Xingfang controlled the entire situation and asked them as if he was the one in charge.
"Well.." The two of them nodded simultaneously, looking dumbfounded by his actions.
"Then it's decided, Su Yang. Our Xie family will happily form an Alliance with the Profound Flower Sect," he told her with a smile on his face. "We'll announce it to the public after you return to the Profound Flower Sect, because it would be troublesome if we were bombarded with questions by the public when we were already busy enough with our plans for the next few days."
"It's okay," Su Yang calmly nodded.
Thus, the Profound Flower Sect and the Xie Family formed an Alliance with each other, setting a precedent, as this was the first time in the history of the Xie Family had formed an alliance with another power, that would greatly shock the Eastern Continent once the news started to spread.
