The Azure Sword God
Achieved Cooperation

“Providing resources?” Jian Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. He was indeed very interested in the offer, but previously some of Yan Shi's subordinates tried to rob him, highly doubtful that Yan Shi would be able to provide them with any benefits to join.

“I completely understand what you're thinking right now. The intent of the resources I said was, my subordinates will go do a search to a certain place, the results of that search will be given in part to the two of you. This is why I said earlier it all depends on your performance.” Yan Shi said.

Jian Chen who heard the explanation from Yan Shi instantly understood that Yan Shi and his group must be experts in information so it would definitely be able to find such a place. Then the quest said by Yan Shi must be a place that has abundant resources and will take place in the near future.

“Oh? I suspect that there is an interesting place on this Lizawa island that makes the cultivators interested.” Jian Chen smiled slightly as he said that.

“Yes, it's true. So, how'd you decide? Will you come or not?” Asked Yan Shi.

“Before that, I want to ask. The place your group will go to, is there another group coming?” Jian Chen asked.

“Most likely yes because we also received this confidential information from Yan Kingdom. Some of my subordinates are infiltrating the Yan Kingdom so that I can obtain this information. But the information about their departure is completely non-existent as the Yan Kingdom keeps it a secret.” Yan Shi said.

Jian Chen seemed to think for a while. He glanced at Xiao Yu who only shrugged his shoulders a sign that he would follow whatever his decision was.

“Good, we will join. However, all your members cannot order something that I do not want to do like a suicide fight if an enemy comes.” Jian Chen said. With his current strength, it was only possible that a deal would definitely be directly approved by Yan Shi.

“If it's just that, no problem at all. Welcome to join, I hope that after this you will still continue to cooperate with me.” Yan Shi said as he slowly stood up and extended his hand towards Jian Chen.

Jian Chen also served Yan Shi because they had made a deal. He was well aware that the reason Yan Shi recruited them was a long-term goal and that was when they had grown strong. Steps like this are usually done by smart people.

“I will take you to your current residence. The group I will send will depart two days from now. It will likely not reach that time, so get ready and I will give orders to my subordinates to pick you up later.” Yan Shi said as he led Jian Chen and Xiao Yu to where they live.

Jian Chen and Xiao Yu did not comment at all on Yan Shi's arrangements.

After escorting Jian Chen and Xiao Yu, Yan Shi returned to his residence and let out a long sigh as he sat down.

“Young Master, are you sure to bring two new members of unknown identity to that place?” The figure of the middle-aged man slowly walked into the room and immediately spoke.

Yan Shi gazed towards the middle-aged man who was none other than his father's confidant when his father was alive and serving as the King of the Yan Kingdom.

Both were referred to as the Minister of the Right and the Minister of the Left, the strength of both was no weaker than the strength of the middle-aged man who was his father's confidant at the time.

“Alright, if I succeed this time, we will have the capital to fight against the Yan Kingdom. He will surely regret alienating you and giving you land in the middle of this wilderness.” said the middle-aged man in a flat tone and slowly turned out of the room.

Yan Shi simply kept silent and stared at the passing of the middle-aged man. He turned his head back and looked out while paying attention to the activities of all its members who were none other than all the officers in his residence at that time when he was still living in the Yan Kingdom as a Prince.

“If we succeed this time, I will go to that place to become stronger.” Yan Shi clenched his hands firmly at the thought of the destruction of his family back then and only left himself as his father, mother and brother begged for mercy for him to be allowed to live.

Meanwhile, Jian Chen who was currently in a simple residence sat on a wooden chair and made himself comfortable.

“It was very noticeable that that that Yan Shi wanted revenge. His eyes look the same as mine when the time before we were training in the Spirit Forest.” Xiao Yu said as he leaned on a wooden chair that was comfortable enough to sit on.

Jian Chen did not directly speak and lowered Hui-Ying from his embrace. While stroking the sky blue feather of Hui-Ying, he spoke, “That's none of our business right now Xiao Yu. Yan Shi is a smart person, but all smart people will be killed for their cleverness.”

“Same as you.” Xiao Yu snorted when he heard such a word come out of Jian Chen's mouth.

Jian Chen's face twitched slightly as he nodded, “Am I the same as Yan Shi?”

“Not something I do often that will kill me Xiao Yu. Me and Yan Shi are different. What he was after was a Kingdom with very few troops. If I were in his position, I wouldn't be entangled in the hallucinations of revenge. I will increase my strength to exceed the strongest cultivators of my enemies and when the time comes, I will take revenge. That is the intelligence that is said to be wise.” said Jian Chen.

“Yes, that's for you. But for me not because I can avenge me when my strength is weaker than someone I am after.” Reply Xiao Yu.

Jian Chen did not reply anymore as Xiao Yu would definitely continue speaking. In his heart, if he was not someone incarnated, it was certain that he would do the same. But after dying once, he valued his life more.

Not that Jian Chen wanted to act like a coward, but he thought more about how a more mature plan would be and calculated the pros and cons if it was about his life.
