Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 365: I won’t pretend anymore

"Nian, I have finished what I have to say. If you have anything to discuss with the old Taoist priest, you can tell me now."

After Roy put the information about the black hole protocol back into the drawer, he handed the initiative of the conversation to Nian.

After all, it was a matter between Sui Beast Agent and Da Yan, and he could provide help and support to Nian. However, the whole story still needed to be explained to Da Yan officials by Sui's family.

"Uh..." Nian scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a long time. It would be better if the older brother and sister were here, as they have rich experience and are mature and steady in dealing with people.

If they negotiated with this old guy, they would definitely be able to do it without any mistakes. Nian knew that he was not good at speaking in roundabout ways, so he simply spread his hands and waited for the old guy to come up and ask questions.

"Master, what do you want to know? Just ask directly..."

"Why did you escape from the supervision of Simuitai, leave Dayan, and come to Kazdel?"

"We? Master, you must be joking. I'm the only one here..." Nian smiled and waved his hands, looking very confident, trying to get away with it.

"Really? Your eldest sister, and the one who hides away to paint all day, have already been here, right?" The old Taoist priest looked at the two paintings on the wall with a smile and said meaningfully.

"Haha... The Taoist priest's vision is still as sharp as ever. They have indeed been here." Seeing that he couldn't fool them, Nian stopped pretending and admitted it frankly.

"If it was just you, it would be fine. But your eldest sister has been here too, which is very telling. She seems to be drunk all day, but in fact, she lives more clearly than anyone else. Tell me, what is there here that is worthy of your attention?"

"Roy, what do you think?" Nian turned to look at Roy, raised his eyebrows, and asked for his opinion. The answer to the question was related to Roy, and if he didn't want to reveal it, he would help keep it secret.

"Tell the truth, so that Miss Jingzhe won't waste her energy all day trying to figure out your purpose for staying in Kazdel."

Jingzhe nodded imperceptibly, as if he agreed with Roy's statement. After investigating the reason why Sui Beast Agent left Da Yan, he might be transferred back to Da Yan to take up his post.

"Okay." Nian responded, and after a moment's thought, he spoke again: "We have reached a cooperation agreement with His Highness. He will help us solve the risk of returning to the original form of the Year Beast. In return, we volunteer to serve him."

"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Roy to have such an extraordinary ability. The matter of the Sui Beast is one of the important secrets of Da Yan, so it's better for outsiders not to interfere too much."

"I think the old master has misunderstood. I promised the Sui family that I would solve the risk of them returning to their original form, but I don't intend to take action against the Sui beast in Da Yan. If Da Yan needs it, I don't mind lending a hand."

"Our Great Yan Military Department, Tianshi Pavilion, Simaitai... 100,000 brave soldiers are fully prepared. Mr. Roy is the head of state and is very busy. I don't need you to worry about the internal affairs of Great Yan."

"Since the old celestial master said so, let's put this matter aside for now. Here, I need to make a few points clear. First, my cooperation with the Sui family is my personal behavior. I hope that the Da Yan side does not need to be overly nervous."

"Second, all products created through the power of the Year Beast are used in civilian facilities and will not appear on the battlefield."

"Third, if possible, Kazdel hopes to reach a deeper cooperation with Dayan in terms of divine beasts."

"...After I return to Dayan, I will report this conversation with Mr. Roy to the True Dragon truthfully."

"Then I will wait for good news from Dayan."

Regarding the three points raised by Roy, the old Taoist priest did not express his attitude on the spot.

This matter is of great importance. Even if she is the number one Heavenly Master of Dayan, she must follow the procedures and report it to her superiors.

There were not many people above her except the one from Baizao Forbidden City.

As for Nian and her sister, just give them a warning.

"Blacksmith, don't forget about the matter of the twelfth floor and the fifth city. Pay more attention."

"Okay, okay, okay... Got it. I'll go back later and help those guys finish the job as soon as possible."

"And the one who splashed ink, as long as you don't cause trouble, I don't have the time to bother with you."

After the conversation, Roy stood up and sent the old Taoist priest and Jingzhe away. Nian, who had been very honest the whole time, immediately returned to normal, drank the tea in the cup, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The old Taoist priest put a lot of pressure on her. If the other party really used the official power of Dayan to put pressure on her, she would have to go back to work honestly.

"My dear sister, you saw what happened just now. Don't you have anything to say to Roy? This time, we are all grateful for his support..."

The old lady walked briskly and spoke to the scroll hanging on the wall. Soon after the conversation began, she noticed something strange on the scroll.

The old guy must have noticed it, but because it was a formal occasion, he didn't dare to catch Xi hiding in the painting and peeking.

Now that things have been settled for the time being, we don't have to be so secretive anymore.

The ink in the scroll spread out, and Xi's figure walked out from it. The figure in the painting turned from virtual to real, bringing out a misty ink smoke.

"Oh, you really came out. When did you become so obedient?" Nian didn't expect Xi to really come out and was a little surprised.

"......" Xi glanced at Nian, did not argue with her, and sat down in her usual seat with a calm expression.

"Where is your purple jade bracelet? I remember you loved it so much that you couldn't even let me touch it. How come it's gone now?" Nian deliberately mentioned Xi's bracelet, looking forward to her reaction.

"I was in such a hurry when I came out that I forgot it in the studio."

"is it?"

"Yes."

"Then why did I see it in Roy's hand? Was it given to him by you?" Nian came over and lay on the back of the sofa.

The hot air from the soft voice deliberately blew onto Xi's white jade-like neck.

"It's just a replica. Give it to him as a token of his ability to enter and exit the painting. Don't think too much about it." There was something unnatural in the cold answer, and the tip of his ear had turned slightly red under his hair.

Xi began to regret coming out of the painting so easily. Nian took every opportunity to tease her.

The person who could rescue him hadn't come back yet, and there was no movement outside the door for a long time. Xi couldn't help but take a peek outside.

All her little movements were seen by Nian, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Oh my! Why hasn't Roy come back yet? My sister Xi is waiting anxiously." Nian shouted at the top of his voice, which made people feel anxious.

Xi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shiver, feeling ashamed and annoyed.

"I'm going back..." Xi suddenly stood up and was about to escape back into the painting, lowering his head and running around in panic, and suddenly he bumped into a warm and broad embrace.

"Hiss~ It hurts so much, Xi, are you okay? You walked so fast..." Wen Yu, who had a faint scent of ink, came into his arms, but it was not as wonderful as he had imagined.

Roy gasped in pain after being hit hard by the pair of jade-like dragon horns.

"I'm fine, I'm going back." Xi was too embarrassed to see anyone and quickly disappeared into the painting.

"What happened to her? Why did she go back just after coming out?" Roy was confused by Xi's strange behavior and asked in confusion.

"She is moved."
