Chapter 333: Asking for Favors From Big Shots
Qiu Shan looked at Nie Tian with a look of joy on his face, as if something great had happened to him.
"Big shot?" Nie Tian looked a little happy at Qiu Shan, couldn't help but smile, and joked: "How big of a shot is he?"
Qiu Shan immediately noticed the gaffe, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Sir, it's Lord Duanmu Bai, the master of Qiankun Palace."
"Duanmu Bai!" Gu Yi and Ding Yifan were stunned at the same time, then looked at each other and said in unison: "He is indeed a big shot."
Duanmu Bai, the master of Qiankun Palace, has indeed a very high status.
The Qiankun Palace is in the Nanshan Region and is the top force alongside the Huashen Sect, so Duanmu Bai can be said to be the pinnacle figure in the Nanshan Region. Just like Tang Hao's position in Three Thousand Small Worlds.
Nie Tian was not too surprised because he had long expected Duanmu Bai to come.
With the strength of Qiankun Palace, it is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of the Duanmulu brothers and sisters.
Duanmu Lu and his sister sneaked out twice, and Duanmu Bai was probably furious, so he came to find them himself.
"Let's go and meet this big shot for a while." Nie Tian smiled lightly and prepared to return to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.
Anyway, the dragon's blood stone veins have been almost processed, and it is enough to leave Gu Yi and Ding Yifan here.
After a while, Nie Tian and Qiu Shan returned to the main palace of Tianluo City.
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man in white was sitting at the head of the guest seat. Next to him stood brother and sister Duanmulu and Duanmu Wan'er. Both of them were trembling with fear. They lowered their heads and did not dare to take a breath. They seemed to be wilting. eggplant.
The middle-aged man, who looks about thirty years old, is dressed in green clothes. He is majestic and handsome. Although he is sitting, you can see that he has a tall figure and a heroic look between his eyebrows. Without speaking, he already exudes a sense of majesty. , don’t be angry and be proud.
He is none other than the Palace Master of Qiankun Palace, Duanmu Bai.
Jin Dabao sat on the other side, facing Duanmu Bai, fearing that the latter would be impatient to wait, so he said: "Mr. Duanmu, please use tea. The fine Nanshan maple leaves are red, just picked, very fresh."
Duanmubai just glanced at Jin Dabao lightly, without speaking or drinking tea.
Jin Dabao smiled awkwardly and said to himself: "Big men are hard to take care of, so you should just wait for the boss to come back."
"Sir, Palace Master Duanmu is already waiting for you." At this time, Qiu Shan's voice sounded.
"Huh!" Jin Dabao exhaled secretly when he saw Nie Tian and Qiu Shan returning.
It was really depressing to get along with these big people, and Jin Dabao couldn't stand it anymore.
"Brother Nie Tian, you're back!" Duanmu Wan'er was a little excited when she saw Nie Tian appear, as if she had met a savior, and she shouted in surprise.
"Don't talk!" Duanmu Bai said coldly, glared at Duanmu Wan'er, and then looked out of the lobby. When he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walking over, he frowned but still stood up.
No matter what, Nie Tian was Duanmulu and Duanmu Wan'er's savior, and he saved them more than once. From this aspect, Duanmu Bai also had to show kindness to Nie Tian.
Moreover, recently, Nie Tian's reputation has become extremely popular, and the whole Nanshan Region has been spreading wildly, especially after Nie Tian brutally killed Luo Fen.
Duanmu Bai also wanted to see what kind of young man he was that could stir up such a big storm in the Nanshan Domain.
"Sir, this is Palace Master Duanmu." Qiu Shan followed Nie Tian, unable to conceal his excitement, and introduced.
The reason why Akiyama is so concerned about Duanmubai's appearance is because he sees the hope of revenge.
If Duanmubai's power could be used, perhaps his revenge could be avenged one day earlier.
Nie Tian nodded, smiled faintly, and said, "Palace Master Duanmu, you are a big shot."
Duanmubai looked at Nie Tian's relaxed expression, and seemed a little unhappy. He responded and said: "City Lord Nie Tian held the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Tournament, which alarmed the entire Nanshan Region. Even the other three regions and Xumi Ling knew about it. , you are the big shot.”
"Palace Master Duanmu has given you too much praise." Nie Tian was not polite. He accepted Duanmu Bai's compliment, which was not a compliment, and then extended his hand and said, "Please sit down."
Duanmu Bai sat down, but his face was obviously unhappy.
In his opinion, with his own identity, when he arrived at the city lord's palace in a small border town of a third-rate empire, the city lord should be extremely excited and rush to praise himself to the sky.
But Nie Tian's reaction was too bland. This made Duanmu Bai a little uncomfortable and slightly unhappy.
"Father, this is City Lord Nie Tian that I told you, the great benefactor who saved me and Wan'er three times." Duanmu Lu noticed that Duanmu Bai was a little unhappy and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Yes." Duanmubai nodded, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Thank you City Master Nie Tian for saving Quanzi's life several times. Duanmubai is very grateful."
"There is no need to be grateful." Nie Tian smiled lightly, took a sip of the fine Nanshan maple leaf red, and said with a smile: "I am a more pragmatic person. Palace Master Duanmu should exchange gratitude directly into visible benefits. Bar."
"Pfft!" As soon as Nie Tian's words came out, the sip of tea Duanmubai had just taken into his mouth spurted out.
He didn't expect that Nie Tian would actually take it seriously and say it so straightforwardly, just as he was just perfunctory.
Even if you want benefits, you have to use hints. How can you ask for benefits so nakedly?
This is too shameless.
Not only Duanmu Bai, but also Duanmu Lu and Duanmu Wan'er behind him, Qiu Shan and Jin Dabao on the other side, all looked at Nie Tian with surprised expressions, as if they doubted whether they heard correctly.
"Boss, boss, although you saved Duanmu Lu and Duanmu Wan'er, how can you ask for benefits so directly? Can they give it to you?" Jin Dabao complained in his heart, with the fat on his fat face tangled together.
Qiushan also frowned, thinking that Nie Tian's behavior was a bit too much.
But Nie Tian smiled calmly, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like this? Duanmu Palace Master wants to express gratitude to me, I can't refuse, that would be too much of a loss of face for Duanmu Palace Master. Duanmu Palace Master, don't you think so?"
"......, yes." Duanmu Bai looked at Nie Tian's playful smile, his facial muscles twitched awkwardly for a few times, and finally he could only nod.
The words just now had been spoken, and Nie Tian took them and didn't let go. What could Duanmu Bai do?
He really couldn't imagine that the famous Tianluo City Lord was actually a guy who was greedy for petty gains. He asked for benefits so aggressively, which was really unacceptable.
But thinking of the low-grade Yuanjing entrance fee he paid when entering the city, Duanmu Bai understood in his heart that Nie Tian was a profit-seeking person.
Duanmu Bai looked at Nie Tian and said in his heart: "Nie Tian, after all, he is still too young and has no long-term vision. You saved my son and daughter. This is such a great favor, but you actually want to ask for benefits from me. Well, as long as your conditions are not excessive, I will agree. Even if I am blackmailed by you once, it can only happen once."
Duanmu Bai originally thought that the Lord of Tianluo City would be a young talent, and even wanted to make more friends, but Nie Tian's current performance really disappointed him.
Duanmu Bai knew that Tianluo City was now prosperous on the surface, but in fact it was undercurrents.
Such a large force gathered in Tianluo City, and the Lord Nie Tian offended many people, even the red-robed elder of the Alchemist Guild.
Under such circumstances, how long can the glory of Tianluo City last?
If Nie Tian was a figure who could balance the forces of all parties, then there might be a chance to save Tianluo City.
But the Nie Tian we see now is a profit-seeking person.
At this time, Nie Tian has the support of forces like Gu Yi and Da Yuan Chamber of Commerce, so Tianluo City is naturally fine. But after the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Conference, will Gu Yi and Da Yuan Chamber of Commerce continue to protect Tianluo City?
Probably not.
So Duanmu Bai believes that after the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Conference, the glory of Tianluo City will end. At that time, any force can reduce Tianluo City to ruins.
Nie Tian watched Duanmu Bai's expression change again and again, and roughly guessed what the latter was thinking, but he didn't care. Instead, he took a big sip of tea, and then said directly without being polite: "I want to form an alliance with Qiankun Palace."
"Puff! Puff! Puff! Bang!" Before Nie Tian finished speaking, Duanmu Bai had not yet drunk the tea in his mouth, and he spit three mouthfuls in a row, then his hand shook, and the teacup fell directly to the ground.
Others stared at Nie Tian with their eyes wide open and their expressions stiff.
Alliance?
It's a pity that Nie Tian could say it!
What kind of force is Qiankun Palace? What kind of power is Tianluo City?
One is the top power in Nanshan Domain, and the other is a small border town in a third-rate empire.
Putting these two forces together is the difference between an elephant and an ant, and the difference between a top-grade crystal and a broken stone.
Let alone an alliance, even if Tianluo City is attached to Qiankun Palace, it is absolutely impossible.
Tianluo City, or more precisely, Nie Tian, has too many enemies. If he forms an alliance with Tianluo City at this time, wouldn't it be like asking for trouble?
No matter how stupid Duanmu Bai is, he won't be so stupid.
Although Nie Tian saved Duanmu Lu and Duanmu Wan'er, Nie Tian's benefit is too great, and he can't agree to it.
Nie Tian doesn't know what Duanmu Bai thinks, but he knows that forming an alliance with Qiankun Palace at this time is definitely giving the latter an opportunity, an opportunity to become the top power in the three thousand small worlds.
If Qiankun Palace forms an alliance with Nie Tian, within a few years, it will definitely be on par with the four major families, and even have the opportunity to enter a higher level world.
Nie Tian wanted to form an alliance with Qiankun Palace after careful consideration.
Now he has offended too many people, including Huashen Sect, Diao Zhengde, the direct descendant of the Gu family, and the Doomsday Flame lurking in the dark. Just now, there is another more difficult Lingxuantian Pavilion.
Although he has Gu Yi and Dayuan Chamber of Commerce around him, neither of them can be considered truly powerful.
Although Gu Yi is the red-robed elder of the Alchemist Guild, he relies on the power of the Alchemist Guild, and there are not many strong people he can really mobilize.
Although Dayuan Chamber of Commerce is one of the seven top chambers of Martial Arts Chamber of Commerce, it is just a chamber of commerce after all, and it is much weaker than the real sect power.
Nie Tian lacks a deterrent partner around him, and needs a force that can calm down the situation to help him maintain his appearance, and he thinks that Qiankun Palace is a good choice.
