Seeing the awkwardness on their faces, Mo Li laughed softly before continuing, ”To be honest, this Heaven Lake Town is only a temporary resting place for me on my journey. Although due to some unexpected circumstances, I've formed ties with the Tiger Mercenaries, but if I were to leave …” Jinhu can't do anything to me! He can't possibly send his entire team to chase after me, can he? ”
Mo Li's words caused Dongfang Chen and Third Young Master Ye to be stunned.
Go?
That's right! If this fellow really wanted to leave, the Feral Tiger Mercenaries would be helpless to do anything to him. But he was an expert! As an expert, shouldn't he have the bearing of an expert? Escape? Wasn't he afraid of encountering inner demons in his future cultivation?
”That's why … The fact that the Fierce Tiger Mercenaries could not be destroyed meant little to me. I'm a rootless duckweed that can run away with Ling'Er at any time. But for the two of you... It was completely different! Your family is big and, to put it simply, your roots are here. Normally, no one would dare to touch the Feral Tiger Mercenaries, but my appearance here is the best opportunity for that. If you want me to do it, I'll give you the benefits. Although I, Mo Li, am a little stunned, I'm not that stupid! ”
His words were quite frank, but they left Dongfang Chen and the Third Young Master Ye speechless.
Feng Ling's originally somewhat worried heart instantly calmed down. She was really afraid that this guy would be hot-blooded enough to agree to their conditions. But now, it seemed that he had already seen through everything.
”I wonder what kind of opinions Brother Mo Li has?” As soon as Dongfang Chen spoke up, the partnership between him and Third Young Master Ye instantly fell into disarray. The Third Young Master felt helpless, but didn't know what to say.
They originally thought that they had an extraordinary influence in the Heaven Lake Town and that they would have the upper hand in cooperation. Now, it seemed that it had become their weakness. As Mo Li had said, he was just a passerby, and their roots were here. It was not easy to get an opportunity, and they did not want to give it up like that.
”Very simple. I will take care of the two reverends and leave the rest to you! ”After this is over, I want the Feral Tiger Mercenaries!”
”This is impossible!” As soon as Mo Li finished his words, Dongfang Chen rejected him without any hesitation, ”Brother Mo Li is only responsible for taking care of two people. He wants to take over the Feral Tiger Mercenaries at this time. Isn't his appetite a bit too big?”
”I also feel that it's a bit inappropriate. Wouldn't our two clans be betrothed to you, Brother Mo Li?” Third Young Master Ye did not agree to Mo Li's allocation plan.
”Hehehe …” Do the two of you really think that my request is too excessive? ” Mo Li gave a noncommittal smile and continued, ”After so many years, although the three factions in Heaven Lake Town are fighting openly and secretly, they are unable to do anything to anyone. It's not because the factions are similar on the surface, but because no one is willing to offend the backers of the three factions! I don't know who you two are relying on, nor do I want to know, but the Feral Tiger Mercenaries truly do have a Cloud Chasing Pavilion backing them!
I killed the two reverends and directly entered the Cloud Chasing Pavilion's blacklist. You can rely on the powers behind you to deal with them, in other words … The person who faced the greatest pressure was me! Furthermore … ”My request is only to choose a portion of the members of the Feral Tiger Mercenaries. As for the wealth that the Feral Tiger Mercenaries have amassed over the years, I will not take any of it. Do you really think I am taking advantage of you?”
After Mo Li said this, Dongfang Chen and Third Young Master Ye looked at each other and sank into deep thought.
Just as Mo Li had said, the reason why the Feral Tiger Mercenary Group hadn't made a move all these years was because they didn't want to become enemies with the Cloud Chasing Pavilion. If this time it was Mo Li who killed the two reverends of the Cloud Chasing Pavilion, then in their confrontation with the Cloud Chasing Pavilion, the two of them could place more of the blame on Mo Li. As long as the Feral Tiger Mercenaries was gone, he would be able to earn this back sooner or later. The cake was only so big, so it was definitely not a small amount for two people to have more than three people.
Mo Li didn't say anything either. He picked up his wine cup and drank by himself. As for Feng Ling, she didn't say anything from start to finish. She knew that these were the worries and thoughts of men. She just needed to be a quiet little woman.
After thinking for a long time, Dongfang Chen and the Third Young Master of the Ye family looked at each other and nodded slowly.
”Mo Li raised his glass and said smilingly,” Let's have a happy cooperation! ”
