Chapter 308: Dangerous Offer

Qi Yuanli looked at the man wearing black mask in front of him and asked with a smile: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The masked man glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Didn’t Your Highness say that he only wanted to talk to the Pavilion Master of the Moon Pavilion? Have you forgotten what you said yourself?"

Hearing the masked man’s words, Qi Yuanli’s eyes flickered. The hands covered by the wide sleeves were tightened, but the expression in his face was still very calm.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yuanli said calmly: "So it’s the Pavilion Master of the Moon Pavilion. I have heard about your achievements for a long time. It’s my honor that you can come and visit my manor in person."

The masked man chuckled when he heard Qi Yuanli’s ying yang words. Having dealt with these people for many years, he had learned that none of their words could be trusted. Behind their smiles, there is a sharp sword that can kill people instantly once they let down their vigilance.

Seeing that the masked man did not speak, Qi Yuanli said, "Since the Pavilion Master came to find me in person, you should have something you want from me."

The masked man played with the hilt of his sword and said, "The rumors really can’t be trusted."

Not knowing what the masked man meant, Qi Yuanli didn’t speak. After a few seconds of silence, the masked man lazily asked, "Your Highness, do you want to sit on the dragon throne?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yuanli slapped the table with his palm and stood up angrily. He glared at the masked man and said, "How dare you say such rebellious words in my manor?!"

The masked man glanced at him, chuckled for a while, and said coldly: "Qi Yuanli, you don’t need to put an act in front of me. As I said before, rumors can’t be trusted. You think if I don’t know what you want, I will come here? Stop being hypocritical."

Seeing that the masked man didn’t behave as he predicted, Qi Yuanli looked at him coldly and asked, "What do you want from me?"

The masked man spread his hands and said, "I just want to help you get what you want."

Hearing what he said, Qi Yuanli sneered and said, "Do you think I’m as stupid as Qi Gaoshen? There is no free lunch in this world. What do you want?"

After hearing what he said, the masked man nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I like dealing with smart people. Since you already asked, then I will tell you. Come, take a seat."

Seeing the masked man act like the owner of his house, Qi Yuanli sat back on the stool and coldly said, "Speak."

The masked man was not angry when he heard his commanding tone, and said lazily: "I will help you sit on the dragon throne and unite the world. But I have one condition."

After listening to his words, a flash of ambition flashed inside Qi Yuanli’s eyes, which was clearly seen by the masked man. The masked man sneered disdainfully, but with the mask on, Qi Yuanli couldn’t see his expression.

Qi Yuanli thought for a while and asked, "What is your condition?"

"It’s very simple. I just need you to help me achieve my goal, and you can’t ask any questions." The masked man said, still rubbing the hilt of his sword.

Hearing what he said, Qi Yuanli fell into deep thought. He really wanted to be the first emperor to unify the world, but it was too dangerous and risky to agree to this man without knowing what his purpose was. Moreover, judging from what he just said, what he wants is a puppet emperor, and Qi Yuanli would never agree to this.

After a long silence, the masked man said, "I will give you three days to think about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man disappeared. Qi Yuanli stood up and looked at the dawn sky. He stood in the pavilion for a long time before he took out a small embroidered sachet. Judging by the faded color, the sachet was made a long time ago.

He stroked the sachet gently like a treasure, and whispered: "Mother, you won’t blame me, right? I just want to avenge you and fight for my rights."

Qi Yuanli stood there for a long time before he put the sachet back into his clothes and walked out of the pavilion.

At the same time, in the secret base, Huan Yun’s life is very comfortable. After five days of living like a rich madam, she finally discovered many secrets of this place.

For example, she knew that her friends were planning something big, but they refused to tell her until their seniors came back. For another example, Hong Yue Sect seems to be related to her friends, because she saw those people who were wearing Hong Yue Sect’s uniform visit this secret base several times in the past few days.

Just this morning, when she woke up, she asked one of the masked men where to find her friends, and they wouldn’t tell her even after pestering them for hours. Out of curiosity, she searched around in the secret base, but was thrown back to her room by Wu Yang when he found her around the basement.

Huan Yun sat on the bed in silence, and her deep frown could kill a fly. According to the clues that she gathered so far, she can already guess the reason why Wu Yang went to the relay station. It should be because Xiao Shao discovered some secrets, and they wanted to silence him.

She touched her chin and thought: ’I wonder what big secret that Xiao Shao discovered. Why does it seem that this is a very important secret that makes them even dare to fight against someone like Xiao Shao? Does it have something to do with what they said before about returning to our world?’
