Chapter 526 Bargaining
After Dong Xiaoer finished speaking, the hall fell into deathly silence.

Song Yu, Leng Yiyi, and Wen Lian looked at each other, their minds full of thoughts. Dong Xiaoer looked expectant, and together with Song Yu and the other two, they focused their gazes on Jin Fuyu.

On the other hand, Jin Fu Yu seemed to feel a little chilly and wrapped his cloak tighter. His deep and bright eyes stared quietly at the swaying campfire, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Master Jinwu, please give me a straightforward answer whether it will succeed or not." Dong Xiaoer frowned slightly, seeming to be a little impatient with waiting.

"Together we fight against a powerful enemy." After pondering for a long time, Jin Fuyu finally broke the silence. He cast a suspicious look at Dong Xiaoer and pretended to be puzzled, "Together we fight... what powerful enemy?"

Dong Xiao'er was stunned and said unhappily, "Master Jinwu, why do you ask when you already know the answer?"

"It is precisely because I don't know that I want to find out the truth." Jin Fuyu was not angry. He stretched out his hands leisurely and placed them over the campfire to keep warm. He said nonchalantly, "Why don't you answer my questions, Master Dong?"

"Okay!" Dong Xiao'er knew that Jin Fuyu was deliberately keeping her in suspense, so she straightened her eyes and said bluntly, "What I mean is, how about our two families join forces to fight against Luo Tianjin?"

"Master Dong, what you said... may not be appropriate." Jin Fuyu smiled lightly without raising his head, "Luo Tianjin is the leader jointly elected by the heroes of the world, representing the orthodoxy of the martial arts world. As people in the martial arts world, we should all listen to Master Luo and follow his lead. We should regard him as a close friend, how can we regard him as a 'big enemy'?"

"Master Jin, you...are you speaking the truth?" Dong Xiao'er said in astonishment, "Did I hear you correctly?"

"Every word is from the heart." Jin Fuyu vowed, "League Leader Luo is the popular choice and the people's choice. Right now, anyone who dares to be his enemy will be the enemy of all the heroes in the world, the enemies of all the factions in the Central Plains, and the enemies of the righteous martial arts world."

Having said this, Jin Fuyu suddenly raised his eyes, looked at Dong Xiaoer who was confused, and said with a smile: "Not only should I not be his enemy, I advise you not to be his enemy either, so as not to get caught in a trap and burn yourself."

Seeing Dong Xiao'er frowning, Song Yu took the opportunity to smooth things over, saying, "Master Dong, the owner of the dock is also concerned about your safety. Ask yourself, with Luo Tianjin's current reputation and power, even if Palace Master Ren were still alive, he would not dare to confront him, not to mention... forgive me for being blunt, but with the current Tianshan Yulong Palace, wanting to compete with Luo Tianjin is like hitting a rock with an egg, or a gnat trying to shake a tree. If you insist on doing it, in my opinion, it is not revenge, but... seeking your own death."

"you……"

Song Yu's "quick words" made Dong Xiao'er angry and embarrassed. She wanted to scold him harshly, but suddenly considered her own situation and gave up.

"It seems that Master Jinwu has been frightened by Luo Tianjin..."

"How dare you!" Leng Yiyi scolded, "We are the righteous martial arts sect. How can we be confused with you heretics? The leader of the martial arts world may be as light as a feather in your eyes, but in our eyes he is as important as Mount Tai."

"Okay, okay, I'll forgive my words." Dong Xiao'er laughed in anger, "Just think of it as my own blindness, and I went to the wrong temple. In that case, I won't bother you anymore, and I'll take my leave now..."

"and many more!"

Before Dong Xiao'er turned around, Jin Fuyu suddenly spoke up, "Master Dong, you were disrespectful to the leader of the martial arts world in front of me just now. As a martial artist, I cannot pretend nothing happened after hearing that..."

"What do you mean?" Dong Xiao'er looked at Jin Fuyu in disbelief, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you want to tie me up and send me to the Xianwang Mansion to ask for credit from Luo Tianjin?"

"It's possible." Jin Fuyu said with a smile, "After all, anyone who is the enemy of the martial arts leader can be killed by any hero in the world."

Dong Xiaoer said angrily: "Jin Fuyu, if you want to kill me, then kill me. Don't go too far!"

"I want to save your life more than to kill you." Jin Fuyu changed the subject and asked in a veiled manner, "But I wonder if Banner Master Dong can understand the current situation?"

Jin Fu Yu's fickleness made Dong Xiao'er more and more confused. At this time, she could no longer guess what Jin Fu Yu was thinking.

Although Jin Fu Yu's words were polite, Dong Xiao'er knew in her heart that under the current circumstances, she had no room for bargaining.

With this in mind, Dong Xiaoer simply made up his mind and nodded, "Please teach me, Master Jinwu."

"If you want to live, you must give up the idea of ​​seeking revenge on Luo Tianjin." Jin Fuyu said straight to the point, "If the disciples of the Jade Dragon Palace want to live, they must give up the reputation of the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace. Do you... understand?"

"I know that Luo Tianjin has ordered the Tianshan Yulong Palace to disband within a month." Dong Xiao'er argued indignantly, "But Master Jinwu should know that Luo Tianjin is untrustworthy and will destroy the bridge after crossing the river. Therefore, there is no way we can surrender to him, let alone disband on our own..."

"Not seeking revenge on him does not mean surrendering to him." Jin Fuyu interrupted, "Giving up the name of Tianshan Yulong Palace does not mean disbanding it."

"hiss!"

Dong Xiaoer took a breath, as if she wanted to understand something, and said hesitantly: "Master Jinwu means..."

"It's not easy for Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace to grow from obscurity to what it is today." Jin Fuyu said with a hint of meaning, "It would be a pity if we disband it now."

"Master Jinwu is right." Dong Xiao'er's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "As long as our two families join forces, we will definitely be able to..."

"Shh!"

Jin Fuyu made a gesture to silence the crowd, pretending to be displeased and said, "I have just said that the leader of the Wulin Alliance is the leader of the Central Plains Wulin. His words are as good as gold, and he will keep his word. If you insist on holding on to the sign of Tianshan Yulong Palace, you will be openly opposing the Central Plains Wulin, and the result will only be death. I have heard that Master Dong is always wise, but tonight... why is he so slow to react?"

"This……"

Dong Xiaoer was confused and turned to look at the silent Song Yu.

Among all the people in Jinjianwu, Dong Xiaoer was most familiar with Song Yu, so at this moment she was full of doubts and could only ask Song Yu for advice.

"Mr. Song." Dong Xiao'er asked hesitantly, "What exactly does Master Jin mean? Why do I get more confused the more I listen?" "Master Dong, Master Jin's meaning is actually very simple." Song Yu knew that Dong Xiao'er was extremely anxious, but he kept talking about other things. "Master Jin said that the signboard of Tianshan Yulong Palace...cannot be kept."

"So what?" Dong Xiaoer was still confused.

"Since the sign of Tianshan Yulong Palace cannot be kept, why does Flag Master Dong keep saying that the 'two families' will join forces?" Song Yu smiled slyly and asked, "Right now, how can there be 'two families'? It should be 'one family'."

"This……"

After going through so much trouble and effort, Dong Xiaoer finally understood Jin Fuyu's hidden meaning. She immediately looked as pale as death and her heart was broken.

"So... Master Jinwu wants to take over my Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace..."

"Humph!" Leng Yiyi said contemptuously, "Do you think the Jade Dragon Palace is still qualified to 'join forces' with us today?"

"I……"

Jin Fu Yu's silence, Song Yu's fanning the flames, and Leng Yiyi's open and secret sarcasm all made Dong Xiaoer feel an unprecedented humiliation and desolation.

It is true that "when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."

In the past, Song Yu made a special trip to the Jade Dragon Palace in Tianshan Mountain and flattered Ren Wuya to the utmost. It is no exaggeration to say that he even acted like a pug, wagging his tail and begging for mercy in Piaomiao Pavilion, showing all kinds of ugly behaviors, just to win Ren Wuya's favor.

Today, Dong Xiaoer looked like a complete lost dog in front of Jin Fuyu and everyone in Jin Jianwu.

She has no dignity, no status, no confidence, no backing... What's worse, tonight she is even worse than a dog.

In fact, Dong Xiaoer was very clear about her current situation. The reason why she acted strong was nothing more than wanting to win more respect from Jin Fuyu.

But Jin Fu Yu knew better that under the threat of the leader of the martial arts world, the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace was no different from a rat crossing the street, everyone wanted to beat them up, and no one was willing to perish with them.

In other words, who dares to protect the person that the martial arts leader wants to kill?

At the moment, looking at the Central Plains martial arts world, it seems that only Jin Fu Yu dares to challenge Luo Tianjin's authority.

Both parties are clear about this point and understand it tacitly.

It was for this reason that Jin Fuyu dared to order Dong Xiaoer around and even looked down on him. He was certain that Dong Xiaoer and Tianshan Yulong Palace had no other choice but to get close to him.

This is indeed the case. Don't look at Dong Xiao'er's fearless attitude. Once Luo Tianjin shows his power and calls on heroes from all over the world to kill the remnants, they won't even have a chance to breathe, let alone take revenge.

The cruel truth is the reason why Jin Fuyu dared to take drastic measures and kill their fighting spirit.

Who is Jin Fuyu? How could he not see through Dong Xiaoer's thoughts?
Dong Xiaoer wanted to bargain, but Jin Fuyu didn't even give her a chance to bargain. He directly put forward two options: surrender or die.

"I understand what Master Jinwu means..." Dong Xiao'er said faintly, looking distraught and powerless, "I want to ask Master Jinwu, after we join the Golden Sword Dock, do you dare to become an enemy of Luo Tianjin?"

"Whether I dare to be his enemy or not, Luo Tianjin will not let me go."

"I heard something on the way here, I don't know if it's true or not." Dong Xiaoer said, "The nest of Jinjianwu was destroyed in one fell swoop. I don't know about this..."

"true."

Seeing Jin Fuyu's frank admission, Dong Xiao'er was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Since Master Jin Wu can't protect himself, how can he avenge us?"

"you……"

"Hey!" Jin Fuyu interrupted Leng Yiyi's rebuttal and asked Dong Xiaoer, "Can you be the master of Tianshan Yulong Palace?"

"This..." Dong Xiaoer pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Song Yu frowned and said doubtfully: "Can you convince Ding Ao? He is in power now."

"Ding Ao and I are both self-aware," Dong Xiao'er said bitterly, "We are generals, not commanders. What's more, he has deep feelings for the Palace Master. If he knew that the Palace Master was killed by Luo Tianjin, he would definitely draw a clear line with him and fight to the death."

"Very good!" Jin Fuyu's expression straightened up and he said with satisfaction, "In that case, you should rush back to Yulong Palace immediately and persuade Ding Ao to surrender. Within a month, disband Tianshan Yulong Palace according to Luo Tianjin's wishes. As for the disciples under your command, they should sneak into the Central Plains in batches, and I will make arrangements for them."

"There are many disciples in the Jade Dragon Palace. Now that the Golden Sword Dock has been destroyed, you don't even have a place to stay. How can you arrange for us..."

"Hengshan Village!" Jin Fuyu's eyes condensed, and he said quietly, "Jiumo Cliff in Jingjiang Prefecture is just a drop in the ocean for me. You go to Hengshan Village secretly, and then I will let you see my true strength."
