1271: C1271 Refuse

C1271 Refuse

Li Ping and the others looked at each other in dismay. Under Su Mo's pressure, they slowly knelt down.

"I'm sorry, we were all blind to have offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive us."

"Yeah, it's all our fault. Please forgive us."

The Great Xia negotiation team all apologized.

Su Mo lowered his head, moved closer to Mu Chen, and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, do you think we can..." Although he didn't say it out loud, the meaning was very obvious.

Mu Chen didn't answer, and Su Mo didn't dare to continue. Li Ping and the others kneeling on the ground were even more trembling.

Everyone in the Great Xia negotiation team realized that the situation was different from what they had imagined.

Why was Leader Su so respectful to this former commander? He even wanted to please him. Could there be something that we don't know?

Thinking of this, Li Ping broke out in cold sweat.

Everyone in the negotiation team treated Mu Chen's performance as an insult. If the other party made a fuss about it, he and the negotiation team would have to bear the consequences.

It was summer now, but everyone present felt a chill, and the air became more and more solemn.

After a long time, Mu Chen spoke softly.

"Alright, for the Dragon Group's sake, I will not pursue your mistakes."

Everyone who was kneeling on the ground heaved a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to get up, they heard Mu Chen's next words.

"Forgive me for being unable to comply. I will not hand over my cultivation technique. Please leave."

"Your Highness!" Su Mo's face turned anxious, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Your majesty, please help us, help Great Xia."

Mu Chen didn't even raise his eyelids as he calmly said.

"I have already retired from all my positions. I am just an ordinary person now, there is no need to call me your majesty."

"When I retired from my position, I already said that I will not take any action from now on."

"Dragon Group also promised me that they will take care of everything."

Mu Chen's calm words echoed in the small pavilion, causing everyone to break out in cold sweat.

Su Mo's entire body was trembling. He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't know what to say.

Yes, when Mu Chen abdicated, the Dragon Group had already promised Mu Chen that they wouldn't disturb his life anymore.

Now, less than a year had passed since Mu Chen abdicated. Due to the pressure from the overseas powers, the Dragon Group had no choice but to ask Mu Chen for help. It had already violated the agreement from back then.

Now that Mu Chen mentioned this matter, it clearly indicated that he did not want to help Dragon Group.

What should he do?

Su Mo wiped the sweat off his forehead and explained, "Your Highness, this time I'm not asking you to help for nothing."

"Team Leader personally said that if Your Highness contributes cultivation techniques, Dragon Group will open the Great Xia treasury for you and allow you to choose any of the top cultivation techniques as compensation."

"Your Highness, please think deeply."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Mu Chen nodded his head.

Dragon Group was really thoughtful.

The Great Xia Treasury was the most important treasure land in Great Xia. Up until now, other than the upper echelons of Dragon Group, no one knew its exact location. It contained the treasures that Great Xia had passed down for thousands of years, ancient recipes, and precious secret manuals.

The value of the Great Xia Treasury was comparable to half of Great Xia's wealth, and one-tenth of the Dragon King Palace.

To open up the Great Xia treasure vault for a cultivation technique was unprecedented.

However, my cultivation technique is more precious than any top cultivation technique.

The nameless cultivation technique passed down by Old Man Lin did not prohibit anyone from passing it on, but Mu Chen still kept the core secret technique.

Even the portion that was passed down to the Divine Arms Battalion back then was only a superficial breathing and breathing technique. It was far from the core of the cultivation technique.

Even so, it had greatly increased the overall combat strength of the Divine Arms Battalion.

If the Warhawk Kingdom's diplomat group wanted this cultivation technique so badly, they must have seen through my true identity and knew that I was the Great Xia King.

Otherwise, with my identity on the surface, it wouldn't be worth them spending so much effort on it.

Mu Chen looked at the kneeling crowd and sighed.

"Get up."

The members of the Equal of Li's negotiation group, who had gotten their approval, stood up one after another.

"Your Highness, you agree?" Su Mo asked with an excited expression.

"No, I didn't agree." Mu Chen replied.

"My cultivation method is very precious. It's just that the top cultivation method in Great Xia's treasure vault is not enough to make up for it."

"Furthermore, has your Dragon Group considered investigating some matters?"

"Why would the Warhawk Country's diplomat group ask me to hand over my cultivation technique? What is the reason behind this?"

"Do you know?"

Mu Chen's words were like a sledgehammer smashing into Su Mo's heart, smashing into the hearts of everyone in the negotiation team.

Their faces became increasingly pale.

Although they had thought of this problem before, because they were in a hurry, they didn't have the time to investigate.

"Your Highness, please consider it."

Su Mo was so anxious that he wanted to kneel down. He had no other choice.

Mu Chen shook his head and refused.

"There is no need to discuss this matter. If there is nothing else, please leave."

After saying that, Mu Chen stood up and acted as if he was sending off a guest.

Seeing Mu Chen like this, Su Mo sighed.

As one of the higher ups of Dragon Group, he naturally understood Mu Chen's character.2

No one would be able to move Mu Chen with this attitude!

"Alright, Your Highness. We will take our leave first." Su Mo deeply bowed, then brought Li Ping and the others out of the Cloud Summit District.

Mu Chen watched them leave with his eyes, then turned around and wanted to return to the house, but he saw a graceful figure hiding behind a tree far away, looking in their direction.

Seeing that Mu Chen had noticed them, the figure no longer hid himself and stood out.

Mu Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Yuyan, why are you here?"

That figure was actually Lin Yuyan.

"I saw that you had been out for too long, so I came out to take a look." Lin Yuyan used her hand to pull a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Mu Chen, who are they?"

"It's nothing. It's just a group of former subordinates who came to find me to reminisce about old times." Mu Chen replied casually.

He did not plan to tell all of this to Lin Yuyan in case she was worried.

But he did not expect Lin Yuyan to gently shake her head and look directly into Mu Chen's eyes.

"Liar."

"I saw it very clearly over there. They were not your former subordinates at all, right?"

Mu Chen touched his nose, smiled bitterly, and did not refute.

Lin Yuyan saw that Mu Chen did not respond and continued to say:

"I know who the person in the suit is. He is Li Ping, Great Xia's highest diplomat."

"He should be busy dealing with the Warhawk Country diplomatic mission. He does not have any spare time."

"But he came to find you."

Speaking up to this point, Lin Yuyan's voice trembled slightly.

"So, Mu Chen, tell me."

"Are they here to cause trouble for you? They want you to take the blame."
