"Destroy the Chen Family and help you with revenge?"

Zhuge Wenqing furrowed his brows.

The Great Elder quickly nodded and said:

"Exactly, that Coastal Chen Family is merely a small family established for less than a year. Although its Family Head, Chen Feng, is somewhat talented, there is a Heavenly Rank Perfection demon snake presiding within the family."

"However, with the strength of your Zhuge Family, I am sure that eradicating a mere Chen Family should be as easy as crushing an ant, right?"

"After all, your Zhuge Family is a family from ’that place,’ whereas the Chen Family doesn’t even rank in the Ancient Martial World. Your Zhuge Family will definitely find it a piece of cake to eliminate them."

"As long as your Zhuge Family helps us Tie Sect destroy the Chen Family, then from now on, whatever your Zhuge Family wants us Tie Sect to do, we will agree unconditionally!"

Evidently, in order to latch onto the Zhuge Family’s strong support and eradicate the Chen Family,

at this moment, the Great Elder was also going all out.

He would rather have the Tie Sect fall and become a subsidiary force of the Zhuge Family.

Even if so, he is willing.

Perhaps for a former second-tier top power, it’s undoubtedly a disgrace to fall hard, see a massive drop in strength, and become a subsidiary force of others.

However, that depends on which force they become a subsidiary of.

If they could latch onto the Zhuge Family’s strong support,

then even if they become a subsidiary force of the Zhuge Family,

the Great Elder is willing.

The saying goes, even dogs look at their master.

If one has to be a dog,

it’s important to choose the right master.

For instance, if one follows a badass master,

then even as a dog, there’s infinite glory, living more with dignity than others.

That’s precisely what it means now. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

What is the Zhuge Family’s existence?

This is the super family from ’that place’, surely exceeding Ancient Martial World sects by numerous times.

Being the Zhuge Family’s subsidiary force, becoming their dog,

will allow one to roam freely in the Ancient Martial World in the future, won’t it?

Even if the Tie Sect loses strength now, so what?

As long as they are under Zhuge Family’s cover, even if a top-tier force comes, there’s no fear!

That’s the benefit of being the Zhuge Family’s dog!

"Oh? You said it, no matter what orders our Zhuge Family gives your Tie Sect in the future, you’ll execute them unconditionally?"

Zhuge Wenqing smirked slightly, looking at the Great Elder with a playful expression.

"I said it, I can make the decision, and I can promise that no matter what the Zhuge Family wants us Tie Sect to do, we will execute it willingly and without complaint—as long as the Zhuge Family steps in and helps us Tie Sect destroy the Chen Family!"

The Great Elder took a deep breath, nodded, and said through gritted teeth.

"Haha, as expected of the Tie Sect’s Great Elder, this boldness is absent from your previous Sect Leader who wanted to gain some advantage from me, but now it seems that the battle between your Tie Sect and the Chen Family has weakened your sect’s strength considerably, allowing me to reap a free benefit!"

Zhuge Wenqing lightly shook his feather fan, smiling.

Indeed, what he said was not false.

Initially, he chose to cooperate with Tie Sect due to its status as an Ancient Martial Sect.

As for the Tie Sect’s strength, he didn’t consider it much.

After all, no matter how strong the Tie Sect is, it can’t surpass the Zhuge Family behind him.

Thus, whether the Tie Sect is strong or weak, it is irrelevant to him.

If he wanted to find a strong Ancient Martial Sect for cooperation, why wouldn’t he directly seek top-tier forces?

He deliberately chose a second-tier sect.

This indicates that he was targeting the Tie Sect’s status as an Ancient Martial Sect, and strength was irrelevant.

Originally, before the Tie Sect’s battle with the Chen Family,

he was negotiating cooperation with Tie Sect’s Sect Leader, Han Tieshan.

At that time, Han Tieshan was extremely greedy and wanted to gain some advantage from Zhuge Wenqing.

Now, alright.

After the war between the two families,

Han Tieshan is dead, and Tie Sect’s strength has diminished.

The Great Elder, to avenge, had to give up all conditions and obey the Zhuge Family unconditionally.

Under such circumstances, Zhuge Wenqing saves the trouble of giving benefits to Tie Sect.

Thus, indeed he has earned a massive freebie.

"Is Mr. Zhuge implying he is prepared to continue cooperating with our Tie Sect?"

The Great Elder looked at Zhuge Wenqing with an expectant expression.

"Since you’ve shown such sincerity, if I don’t agree, wouldn’t I be unreasonable!"

Zhuge Wenqing lightly shook his feather fan and smiled.

"Hahaha, then I must thank Mr. Zhuge here in advance. Being favored by Mr. Zhuge is a great honor. From now on, my Tie Sect will serve the Zhuge Family loyally without any ulterior motives!"

The Great Elder quickly cupped his fists, expressing his gratitude with excitement.

"Great Elder, no need to be so polite, and rest assured, I won’t let your Tie Sect serve in vain. As long as your Tie Sect completes the tasks assigned by our Zhuge Family, our Zhuge Family will surely help you regain your Peak, which is not a difficult thing for us!"

Zhuge Wenqing appropriately appealed to the Great Elder, offering a hope.

This is the art of managing people.

Even if the Great Elder agrees for the Tie Sect to unconditionally comply with the Zhuge Family,

one must avoid purely exploiting and commanding,

but also offer some hope.

And now, what does the Tie Sect want most?

Besides revenge, it’s to make a comeback.

Therefore, Zhuge Wenqing gives the Great Elder a promise of helping the Tie Sect make a comeback.

Thus, in the future, when things arise, the Great Elder and Tie Sect will work more earnestly for the Zhuge Family.

It has to be said.

Despite Zhuge Wenqing’s youth, in strategy and understanding of human nature,

even some deeply experienced old folks may not be more skilled and adept than him.

After all, the ancestor of the Zhuge Family is known for strategy.

Therefore, the inherited genes naturally carry such talent.

Such innate advantage is beyond envy of outsiders.

Indeed,

after hearing Zhuge Wenqing’s words,

the Great Elder’s face showed immense excitement and nod in agreement: "Very well, with Mr. Zhuge’s word, I feel relieved. Mr. Zhuge can rest assured, as long as the Zhuge Family needs any support from our Tie Sect, we will all be committed and unafraid of any difficulty!"

"Great Elder, you’re overestimating. Our Zhuge Family, since we are cooperating with your Tie Sect, naturally won’t make you risk your lives. Rest assured, as long as your Tie Sect properly handles our Zhuge Family’s matters, we won’t mistreat your Tie Sect!"

Zhuge Wenqing lightly shook his feather fan and smiled.
