Chapter 225 I Am a First-rank Martial Artist, the Qin Army Cannot Stop Me (1)
“Lord Xu, what do you mean?”
At the post house where the Great Xia diplomatic mission was, Zhou Shu’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Xu Shi.
The sky had just begun to brighten, and before Zhou Shu could head to the Great Qin imperial palace, Xu Shi had rushed over to pay him a visit.
Behind Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang exuded sharp auras at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, locking onto Xu Shi.
The two of them were like two unsheathed swords that could attack at any moment.
Xu Shi didn’t seem to notice the change in the atmosphere. He wore his usual smile and said, “Don’t misunderstand. I’ve come here today only to discuss a deal with you, Marquis Zhou.
“Whatever you want, be it gold, silver, treasures, a high rank, or beautiful women, as long as you want it, as long as my Great Qin has it, we can discuss it.” “Lord Xu, if I refuse, will I not be allowed to leave Great Qin?” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“Of course not.” Xu Shi shook his head. “I’ve already said that this is only a transaction. Great Qin isn’t the type to take advantage of others.
“If it wasn’t for a good reason, I wouldn’t have come to approach you.”
A bitter smile appeared on Xu Shi’s face, as if he had no other choice.
Zhou Shu was unmoved and said coldly, “Since that’s the case, I refuse!”
“Marquis Zhou, please reconsider,” Xu Shi said. “We only want the cultivation method of the Iron Smelting Hands. This in itself isn’t a loss to you. Moreover, Great Qin is willing to pay a price that you will be satisfied with, Marquis Zhou.”
“I don’t lose anything?” Zhou Shu laughed. “Then, what would you think if I told you that I wanted your Eight Quaint Fire Divine Art?”
Although Zhou Shu was not the kind of person who treasured his cultivation techniques, he wouldn’t easily pass them on to outsiders.
“No problem,” Xu Shi said bluntly. “I have no problem exchanging the Eight Quaint Fire Divine Art for the Iron Smelting Hands.”
Zhou Shu laughed in anger.
The Eight Quaint Fire Divine Art was quite famous, and its power wasn’t bad either. But in terms of power, it really wasn’t as great as the Iron Smelting Hands.
Using the Eight Quaint Fire Divine Art to exchange for the Iron Smelting Hands, only he could think of this.
“Alright, Lord Xu, let’s cut the crap,” Zhou Shu said, “I will not sell the cultivation technique of the Iron Smelting Hands.
“Oh right, the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament has already been decided. It’s time for us to return to Great Xia. Originally, I was prepared to bid farewell to the Qin emperor. Lord Xu, since you are here, I’ll have to trouble you to pass the message.”
Xu Shi’s brows furrowed imperceptibly, but they quickly returned to normal. He looked at Zhou Shu and said, “Marquis Zhou, are you leaving?”
“Can’t I?” Zhou Shu asked.
“Of course you can. But during the demonic beast outbreak earlier, you helped Great Qin. His Majesty has yet to express his gratitude…”
“He has already done so,” Zhou Shu said. “The gold and jewelry from before are enough.” “Alright, since you’ve made your decision, then I’ll report it to His Majesty,” Xu Shi said. “When His Majesty issues the imperial decree, you may return to Great Xia.” Before leaving, Xu Shi said once more, “Marquis, although I know you may not like what I’m saying, I must say something.
“Marquis, I hope that you can consider the matter of the Iron Smelting Hands. As long as you are willing, you can have anything you want.”
“Bastard!” After Xu Shi left, Yin Wuyou swung the Shadow Sword in the air a few times. “Shameless to the extreme! How dare he scheme for someone else’s cultivation technique! I’ve never seen such a shameless emperor!” Yin Wuyou cursed.
She didn’t know how to scold people at all. All she could say was that he was a bastard and shameless.
If it were Zhou Shu, he would be able to scold them for a month without repeating his words.
Zhou Shu was also a little surprised. He thought that Great Qin might stop Great Xia’s diplomatic mission from leaving, but he never expected that Great Qin would actually want to trade for his Iron Smelting Hands Technique! Zhou Shu had been hiding his strength all this time because he was worried that if his strength was revealed, there would be people who would suspect how he had obtained it. At that time, there would probably be people suspecting that his cultivation techniques could rapidly increase people’s strength. This has always been the source of trouble.
At that time, who knew how many people would come for his secrets.
What he didn’t expect was that he didn’t even attract the attention of many people in Great Xia. But in Great Qin, he had merely revealed the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, yet it had already attracted the attention of many.
But Zhou Shu didn’t regret publicly displaying the Iron Smelting Hands Technique.
With his current strength, he wasn’t afraid of people coveting his things. It was just slightly troublesome.
If Great Qin really didn’t give up, Zhou Shu didn’t mind letting them know that they couldn’t mess with some people.
“Do you want me to kill him?” Lu Wenshuang said coldly.
Cultivation techniques were the foundation of a martial artist.
Stealing someone else’s cultivation technique was an irreconcilable grudge!
Zhou Shu shook his head. You want to kill him?
If you really went, who knows who would kill who.
“Don’t worry about him.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I don’t think Great Qin would be so shameless as to try and rob us.
“Follow the plan. Everyone, get ready. Once we get the Qin emperor’s imperial decree, we will immediately return to Great Xia.” After instructing Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang to leave, Zhou Shu prepared to discuss it with Meng Bai.
Meng Bai’s idea was to let him, Yin Wuyou, and the others leave first. Now, if Zhou Shu wanted to bring everyone from the diplomatic mission away, he had to tell Meng Bai.
