"This matter, in fact, also credits Little Bai Yan for exposing it. If he hadn't brought it up, you might have hardly considered it."

"Even more, you, Xuanxuan Sima, might not have been able to uncover the secret collusion between the Sima Family and the Bright Church!"

"Bai Yan is a meritorious minister; he must be rewarded and not disheartened!"

Mr. An spoke with profound implications, his eyes half-smiling as he gazed at Xuanxuan Sima: "However, how to reward him is something you, Xuanxuan Sima, must consider. This also serves as a punishment for the Sima Family."

Mr. An's words carried deeper meanings!

Xuanxuan Sima, unable to ferret out the covert dealings of the Sima Family with the Bright Church?

Which of these three old men isn't a seasoned and cunning example?

Even the temperamental Master Blood Dragon knows to use Bai Yan as a pretext. He points the sword at the Bright Church, demanding the Saintess, and strongly suppresses the increasingly prominent influence of the Bright Church over the years.

Their every move is laden with deep meanings.

It's not that Xuanxuan Sima couldn't find out, it's that he simply didn't want to look into it!

If it weren't for Bai Yan deliberately mentioning his knowledge of the Sima Family secretly communicating with the Bright Church while outside the villa, Xuanxuan Sima might have killed those Church personnel on the spot and quietly suppressed the matter.

Xuanxuan Sima immediately grasped Mr. An's intent.

The old man is striking a deal with him!

Exchanging some benefits, subduing the Sima Family in exchange for the lives of other Sima Family members.

Letting Bai Yan make demands is nothing but handing over the benefits yielded by the Sima Family to Bai Yan!

EmpOWERing Bai Yan, paving the way for him!

Xuanxuan Sima had long known that, with the temperaments of Master Blood Dragon and Mr. An, they would definitively position Bai Yan as the next Guardian of Huaxia.

Destroying the Sima Family benefits no one, but a trade of interests can bring many benefits to Bai Yan!

They must establish Bai Yan's authority, and the Sima Family is just the right stepping stone!

"So it is.....Good! Nephew, state your demands; as long as it's within my power, I will definitely agree!"

Xuanxuan Sima pondered for a moment, then said sternly to Bai Yan.

"....."

Bai Yan sipped his tea, his thoughts racing wildly, slightly guessing Mr. An's intention.

Moved, Bai Yan also sighed inwardly: "Dealing with these old foxes truly requires immense caution, each word they speak must be pondered thrice over!"

Master Blood Dragon grunted discontentedly; he was somewhat dissatisfied with not being able to massacre the entire Sima Family.

Seeing Bai Yan remaining silent, he urged in a deep voice: "Little Bai Yan, don't be polite with him!"

"Uncle, if I may be so bold!"

Bai Yan touched his nose, smiling.

Why not take a good thing when offered?

"First, the original evidence of the extermination case..."

Bai Yan tentatively looked at Xuanxuan Sima.

"Here it is!"

Xuanxuan Sima agreed readily and turned to instruct: "Someone, go and fetch the original for me! No copies allowed!"

It seems Mr. An's words carry great weight!

Xuanxuan Sima agreed very promptly, giving Bai Yan some reassurance.

Since it's a reward for me, I won't be polite then!

Smilingly, Bai Yan continued to make demands: "Then I'll be bold, uncle. I would also like to have those Priests."

"What do you want them for?"

Xuanxuan Sima startled, and even Mr. An was somewhat puzzled.

Good lad, I give you a chance to gain benefits, yet you ask for such elusive things.

Several priests, what benefit could they possibly bring!

Given the loyalty of the priests, interrogation is difficult, and it's even harder to incite them to betray the Bright Church, they are completely a burden!

Only Master Blood Dragon somewhat understood.

He knew that Bai Yan was particularly fond of priests, even the powerful Abnormal ones, regardless of their condition, he liked them.

"This... I know some Secret Techniques, though they are somewhat inhumane, I was thinking of trying them on these priests."

Bai Yan explained vaguely.

"Oh, I see! I understand!"

Sima Xuanxuan suddenly realized, chuckled, and his gaze towards Bai Yan warmed up a bit.

Both being from demonic origins, who cares if the methods are cruel, as long as it doesn't harm the people of Huaxia!

"No problem, all yours! Do you want them dead or alive?"

Sima Xuanxuan said generously.

"Alive, please Uncle Master restrain them for me."

Bai Yan said cheerfully.

"Okay, I've already restrained these people, they are in the dungeon, I will have someone take you there shortly."

Sima Xuanxuan smiled, "Any other requests?"

"That Dragon Vein Divine Map..."

Bai Yan coughed lightly, his eyes landing on the Dragon Vein Divine Map on Sima Xuanxuan's desk.

Bai Yan had understood the power of the Divine Map long ago; such a treasure was absolutely worth pursuing!

"This... No!"

Unexpectedly, Sima Xuanxuan refused, he said seriously, "I know you nephew already have one Divine Map, giving you this one would merely be gilding the lily."

"If you don't give Bai Yan the Divine Map, what will you use it for?"

Master Blood Dragon raised an eyebrow, turning to Sima Xuanxuan.

"In recent times, my Sima Family has also had some talented young ones, their Talent isn't bad, I plan to let Sima Moyi take this Divine Map and participate in the Dragon Ascension Conference."

Sima Xuanxuan said smilingly.

Since there was no need for full extermination, naturally, consideration must be given to the clan's future development, and a clan's strength entirely lies in the talents and potentials of the next generation.

The Dragon Vein Divine Map could greatly assist the next generation!

Additionally, due to the special nature of the Dragon Ascension Conference, Sima Moyi might even use the power of the Divine Map to compete with Bai Yan for the spot of the dragon ascendant!

Sima Xuanxuan's strategy was clear, allowing clan youngling Sima Moyi to compete with Bai Yan according to Huaxia's rules; even Master Blood Dragon couldn't do anything about it.

"No, it was already said there would be rewards, just a few priests and some worthless evidence isn't enough!"

Before Bai Yan could speak, Master Blood Dragon spoke up in his defense.

Master Blood Dragon sneered, "A disloyal person cannot become the dragon ascendant! That Sima Moyi, are you sure he qualifies to participate in the Dragon Ascension Conference? Are you sure Sima Moyi won't become the next Sima Family Elder?"

Faced with Master Blood Dragon's sneer, Sima Xuanxuan smiled slightly, his tone both gentle and domineering, "With me in the Sima Family, he wouldn't dare to harbor second thoughts!"

Perhaps feeling that his own actions were somewhat dishonest, Sima Xuanxuan again smiled gracefully, saying, "How about this, I know Little Bai Yan is also participating in the Dragon Ascension Conference, why don't we make a bet."

"If Little Bai Yan secures the position of the dragon ascendant, in addition to the rewards due to him, the Sima Family's Dragon Vein Divine Map will also be given to him."

"If Little Bai Yan loses at the Dragon Ascension Conference, then this Dragon Vein Divine Map will stay with my Sima Family."

Sima Xuanxuan said with a smile.

"Okay."

Mr. An calmly spoke, accepting the bet on behalf of Bai Yan.

Great, I haven't even expressed my opinion and you old folks have already decided everything!

Bai Yan was utterly speechless.

He truly wasn't interested in the position of the Guardian of Huaxia, but who knew that his elders were so favorable towards him, persistently pushing him towards the position of the next Guardian.
