# Chapter 1321: Want a Few More Things, Maybe?
Chen Daoyi and Luo Jiaoyang were already clenching their fists!
To be honest, coming to the Bei family this time, they never expected to sit down and have a proper talk!
For the Moon Capture Plan, that ancient Su relic stone tablet had to be obtained!
If they didn't appreciate the courtesy, then they'd have to resort to slaps in the face!
Bei Qiu's face was full of wariness. Bringing two Dao Heaven experts to pressure her?
What did the higher-ups mean?
Were they planning to make a move against the Bei family?
But Bei Qiu's momentum didn't yield an inch, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense!
Jiangnan, however, looked completely at ease.
(˘.̫˘๑) "If you want to hit me, just do it directly. That way, I won't have to tear down the Bei family myself!"
"There are plenty of people who want to kill me. Debts don't weigh a man down, and right now I'm worried about not knowing the enemy's background!"
"If the Bei family makes a move against me, the higher-ups will immediately identify you as the opposing side. Maybe it was the Bei family that hired assassins to go after me time and time again!"
"The more I think about it, the more possible it seems!"
Bei Qiu's eyes widened, and she almost choked on her own breath!
If this huge shit pot was placed on the Bei family's head, they'd be done for!
"You're talking nonsense! Am I insane? Why would the Bei family hire assassins to kill you?"
Jiangnan curled his lips: ʅ(･᷄ὢ･᷅)ʃ "How should I know what you're thinking? You just said it yourself—you dared to touch me!"
"I'll report this to Brother Jian right now and tell him I've found the mastermind behind the assassination!"
With that, he pulled out his phone and prepared to make a call!
Bei Qiu's eyes were about to split: "Stop! Don't talk nonsense! I'll negotiate! I'll negotiate, alright?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Where's your meeting room? Also, arrange a place for us to stay!"
"For such a big deal, don't we need three to five days to discuss it?"
With that, he strolled toward the villa complex with his hands behind his back, as if it were his own home, showing no restraint whatsoever.
Chen Daoyi and Luo Jiaoyang both covered their faces.
This was outright extortion!
When faced with someone like this, nobody had any recourse!
It had to be Jiangnan. Only he could negotiate like this. It was better that he did it.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao couldn't help but snicker.
Was this what it meant to take the initiative?
Whether or not they ended up asking for something, the initiative had to be firmly in their hands!
Maximize your own advantages to the limit!
Obviously, Xiao Nan's advantage was that he was currently in the process of being assassinated!
Seeing Jiangnan and the others casually walking into the house, Bei Qiu was so furious she stomped her cane!
Bei Linfei panicked: "Mom! What do we do now? Jiangnan is at our house. If an assassination attempt happens and a fight breaks out, the Bei family is finished!"
"And we'll be suspected of colluding with the assassination organization. This..."
Bei Qiu looked disgusted.
(yiyiyi◟) "Go! Quickly arrange for the clan members to evacuate. Find hotels outside and stay for a few days. Emergency evacuation!"
"If Jiangnan insists on coming, I can't stop him, but we can leave, can't we?"
Bei Linfei acknowledged and hurried off to make arrangements.
Having a home but not being able to stay in it, having to go to a hotel? What was this all about?
Within moments, thousands of Bei family members were seen carrying large and small bags, dragging suitcases as they ran outside.
Each one looked tense, glancing left and right.
The scene was like a refugee evacuation!
Wu Liang and the others in the meeting room saw this and twitched their mouths.
"We've been inside the Bei family villa complex for less than three minutes, and the Bei family is already evacuating and taking emergency shelter?"
"I'm afraid only Brother Nan has such power!"
This must be the back-and-forth, right?
Jiangnan chuckled and propped his feet up on the conference table.
"Xiang Ke Si! Massage my shoulders and legs! Relieve the fatigue from the journey! If it's not good enough, I'll kill you, got it?"
The grimy Xiang Zhi was about to explode. She had been dragged by the car just now and had lost both her shoes!
Her socks were worn through, and her big toe was poking out!
[Frustration from Xiang Zhi +1000!]
[Frustration from Xiang Zhi...]
No matter how humiliating, to survive, she could only step forward obediently and massage Jiangnan's shoulders and back!
(︶.̮︶๑)੧੧(yiyiyi#)
As she massaged, she cursed inwardly, wishing she could strangle Jiangnan to death!
Feeling the constant stream of frustration points from Xiang Zhi, Jiangnan chuckled inwardly.
Keep them coming! Don't let me down after all my painstaking cultivation of you!
After a short while, Bei Qiu hobbled in on her cane and sat down across from Jiangnan.
Jiangnan grinned: "Where did they all go? Why did everyone leave? Going on a team-building trip?"
[Frustration from Bei Qiu...]
Team building, my ass!
Don't you know what's going on?
In this short time, Bei Qiu felt she had lost several years of her life from sheer anger.
"Let's get down to business! That ancient Su relic stone tablet was purchased by me at great expense! It is my personal property!"
"You want it? Fine, but I set the price!"
Jiangnan smiled: "What price? Let's hear it?"
Bei Qiu raised one finger: "First! I want the complete cultivation method for Spiritual Energy Threading, and you are not allowed to pass it on to others!"
"Second! I want all the incantation interpretations mastered by Hua Xia. Don't worry, I won't leak them!"
"Third! I want the content of the protective barrier incantation array used by the Tianchen Bureau. Just these three things!"
Chen Daoyi and Luo Jiaoyang couldn't hold back anymore.
You really dare to ask for a lot!
But Jiangnan's smile remained unchanged.
(⌒_⌒) "Just these? Don't you want a few more things? Opportunities like this are rare. Think it over carefully!"
These words stunned not only Zhong Yingxue and the others.
When had Xiao Nan become so generous?
Even Bei Qiu was dumbfounded.
What's going on? Reverse bargaining?
Was he complaining that she didn't ask for enough? She had already prepared to haggle with Jiangnan!
This reverse bargaining caught her completely off guard!
"Then... add one more thing. I heard you brought back a rather large Origin Stone from Lantis."
"Could you spare a piece for my Bei family?"
Before Jiangnan could speak, Luo Jiaoyang was furious and slammed the table, standing up!
"You old hag! Do you want to die? You want the Origin Stone too? Even if I gave it to you, could you keep it?"
Bei Qiu sneered: "Why couldn't I? With that incantation array, I can keep it!"
Luo Jiaoyang laughed in anger: "You want the whole set? Do you know what we need that incantation stone tablet for?"
"Once..."
"Brother Luo!"
Before he could finish, Jiangnan stopped him.
It was best not to let the Bei family know about this.
Luo Jiaoyang sat back down in frustration.
Bei Qiu sneered coldly: "Your Luo family is now a dog raised by Hua Xia, but I am not!"
"I know how important that ancient Su relic is to you. I'll lay it out for you!"
"If you can't give me a price that satisfies me, I would rather destroy that ancient Su relic than give you a chance to obtain it!"
"The Bei family has businesses all over the world. We don't rely on Hua Xia to survive. With the incantation interpretations I have, I'll be a honored guest in any country I go to!"
With the item in hand, Bei Qiu had nothing to fear.
The more you wanted it, the more leverage she had over you!
Jiangnan swayed his feet, looking completely at ease.
"I can make all the decisions on these. The price is negotiable. I absolutely must have that thing! But you have to at least let me confirm it, right?"
"What if I buy the wrong thing? That would be a waste of money."
"After all, I've never seen it. I only heard about it from Bei Bei. Words are empty. Seeing is believing!"
Bei Qiu squinted: "Do you think I'm stupid? You're a Space System! If I take it out, what if you steal it?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes.
(꒪ัд꒪ั*) "Ridiculous! Am I the kind of person who would forcibly take someone else's treasure?"
Bei Qiu: (◞･ˇ皿ˇ･) "You are!"
Even Chen Daoyi and the others nodded along.
You've been robbing people all along! Bandit Jiang is exactly that!
Jiangnan's mouth twitched: "I swear on my character. I definitely won't snatch it from you!"
Bei Qiu: (≖_≖) "Do you have any character?"
Jiangnan: !!!
╧╧٩(๑ᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง
"Oh, I'll fucking—!"
He suddenly stood up from his seat, grabbed a small stool, and prepared to crack Bei Qiu's skull open!
Chen Daoyi and Luo Jiaoyang were so frightened they quickly stopped him!
"Calm down! Calm down!"
Only then did Jiangnan desist and sit back down in frustration.
"If I can't see the item, there's nothing to discuss. You don't do business like this!"
With that, he crossed his arms and turned his head away.
Bei Qiu hesitated for a moment. It was indeed just talk without proof. She needed to dangle enough bait for Jiangnan to bite.
"Fine! I'll send someone to fetch it!"
After a short while, Bei Linfei came in carrying a large Spirit-Binding Steel safe.
"The item is here. I'll let you take one look. Whether it's what you want, a professional can tell at a glance!"
As he spoke, he opened the lock on the safe.
Inside the safe was an ice-white spirit material stone tablet.
Its shape was extremely irregular, as if it had been broken off from something larger.
It was arc-shaped, with circular slots on it as well.
About the size of a tabletop, it was densely engraved with advanced incantations.
Each one was smaller than a grain of rice. At a rough glance, there were probably over a hundred thousand.
Jiangnan immediately recognized that the incantations on this ancient Su relic were part of the ones engraved on the Star Gate!
A small section was repetitive, but even with all the incantations recorded on this ancient Su relic,
it still couldn't fully complete the melted part of the Star Gate. It could only supplement about a third of it.
Everyone's gaze turned toward the safe.
Jiangnan's eyes suddenly turned pitch black, as if reflecting a sea of stars, becoming devoid of emotion.
Like a god looking down on all beings.
He instinctively reached out to grab it, but Bei Qiu raised her hand and slapped the back of his hand, knocking it away, leaving it red.
Bei Qiu only opened it for an instant, less than half a second, before her cane pressed against the safe door.
With a "bang," the safe door closed shut.
Bei Qiu raised an eyebrow: "Still want to touch? No touching!"
"Good son! Take the treasure and keep it safe!"
Bei Linfei quickly carried the safe out of the meeting hall.
Bei Qiu looked relaxed: "This is the only piece. You've seen it. Now can we talk?"
Jiangnan rubbed the back of his hand, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
(•́.̫•̀) "I think there's nothing left to talk about!"
