Chapter 317
“I have a proposal for you, Su Yang.” Lord Xie spoke with a serious expression on his face, “Join the Xie Family as Guardians! As long as you agree, I will treat everything that happened today as if it would never happen! ”
“Y-Your Majesty ... it is somewhat ..”
Senior Zhong looked at him with a surprised expression that was also filled with doubt and doubt.
Guardians sound like it's – someone who protects the family when needed. The status of the Guardians for the Xie Family was similar to the Generals of the entire army and more, as they were the protectors of the number one family of this continent, as well, and having such a title would bring endless fame to that individual.
Being one of the strongest Sword Masters in the continent, it was clear that Senior Zhong himself would become the Guardian for the Xie Family. However, just having a deep strength did not directly qualify one to become a Guardian for the Xie Family, as they also had to be a trusted individual.
This was why Senior Zhong felt that Lord Xie's decision to make Su Yang the Guardian for the Xie Family was inappropriate, as he was not an individual that they could fully trust at the moment, either, not to mention his actions today which basically spat upon the entire Xie Family. The face of – and right before the presence of Lord Xie, no less.
“Hoh? What can I get as a guardian?” Su Yang asked despite not having any intention to join the Xie Family as Guardians.
The eyes of Lord Xie sparkled and he spoke, “To be the guardian of the Xie Family is the same as joining us as a family member! Of course, as a member of our Xie Family, it is our responsibility to provide you with the resources to cultivate. What's more than that, we will also give you the highest Earth-level Spiritual Treasure! As for all the other things like fame and status, there was no need to even mention it! ”
“Hmmm ..”
Su Yang pretended to think. If he had not met Qiuyue, then he might seriously consider joining the Xie Family for their cultivation resources.
The Great Blossom Sect would naturally be affected as well and might receive a flood of new disciples even if he did nothing during the Regional Tournament.
However, with his current plan, the Profound Blossom Sect would definitely become one of the most famous Sects in the entire continent after the Regional Tournament.
“I don't need an Earth Level Spiritual Treasure or any other benefits, but I might consider your offer if you give me your daughter,” Su Yang said with a mischievous smile after a while.
“You ..”
Lord Xie tried his hardest not to explode with anger like before, but his body seemed to tremble.
“Your Majesty! Just give us orders and we will fight this bastard to the death even if we have the thinnest chance of winning!”
The guards were also trembling with anger, as they had never received such humiliation in their lives!
“Are you sure you want to refuse, Su Yang? This is an opportunity that will never come again,” said Lord Xie, ignoring the guards.
“It's okay,” said Su Yang as he started walking towards the exit again.
Lord Xie sighed inwardly. As impolite as Su Yang might be towards the Xie Family, losing his profound strength was a huge loss to the Xie Family as a whole.
Moments later, just as Su Yang stepped out the door, dozens of people – most – guards could be seen rushing towards him.
“Your Majesty! Are you hurt ?! What was that tremor earlier ?!”
The guards rushed into the room.
“Quiet, everything—”
“Daddy, what was that earlier Profound Qi?”
Before Lord Xie could even finish his sentence, a beautiful woman emitting an elegant aura emerged from behind the crowd.
“S-sister Senior Xiao! What are you doing here ?!”
As Senior Zhong easily predicted, Xie Xingfang immediately noticed Su Yang's handsome face.
“A long time ago,” Su Yang showed her a bright smile.
“If I knew you were coming, I would personally welcome you! Did you not accept that from Senior Zhong?”
Xie Xingfang excitedly approached Su Yang.
“…”
Other than Xie Xingfang's excited voice,
“If this is how they act as acquaintances, I cannot imagine seeing them as friends!” Lord Xie cried inwardly.
How could they be mere acquaintances when they seemed so familiar together? At this rate, they might even share the bed as mere friends!
However, just as Lord Xie hated using his own daughter to his own advantage, he really wanted Su Yang's profound strength to be a part of his Xie Family, not to mention his mysterious background.
“My daughter, you came at the right time. I just had a discussion with this expert to see if he wanted to become the Guardian for the Xie.” Family
“Your Majesty?!” Senior Zhong could not believe his eyes or ears. Did Lord Xie just use his daughter to persuade Su Yang? Even though he was going to kill Su Yang for mentioning his daughter a few minutes ago? His change of attitude was too profound!
Of course, in a world where strength ranked first in almost every situation, Lord Xie did not mind acting shameless in the slightest as long as his Xie Family obtained another expert.
“Really ?! Senior brother Xiao, are you going to be the Guardian for our Xie Family?” He looked at her with pleading eyes.
Under normal circumstances, any individual who was faced with a pleading expression would nod their head without hesitation or contemplation. But unfortunately for him, Su Yang was a man with countless experiences with women under his belt and remained indifferent even under his irresistible appearance.
“I'm sorry, but I've already turned down the offer,” said Su Yang with an apologetic smile.
Xie Xingfang's happy expression became a little sad after hearing his words. However, he did not urge her and said, “I'm sure you have a reason, so I won't ask. But since you're here, why don't we sit down and have some tea? I've got a few things I'd like to talk to you about. I won't get an answer this time! “
Su Yang nodded. “My business here is done, so I will accept the offer,” he replied.
“Great! Then follow me.”
“T-Wait!” Lord Xie quickly stopped them.
“What's up, dad? Senior brother Xiao is my important guest now,” he turned around and asked while frowning, hoping he won't make things difficult for them.
“Where did you two go?” He asked .
“My room, of course,” Xie Xingfang replied without hesitation.
Lord Xie frowned and spoke, “Only the two of you? Hmph! Unless Senior Zhong comes with you, never think about it!”
Xie Xingfang turned to look at Senior Zhong, who was staring back with a helpless smile on his face.
“Good,”
