King of Assassins-Chapter 899 - 641: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

Shui Yunling is very skilled in conversational techniques, adept at various negotiation strategies. She grew up in a complicated environment, which required her to possess these skills.

However, facing Gao Xuan, she thought it unnecessary to play tricks.

Firstly, the other party comes from the bottom, without a family background.

Secondly, the other party's level of knowledge is not high, yet his mind is deep and complex.

For people like this, playing tricks and using means might be counterproductive.

Gao Xuan silently asked: "Serve you?"

Shui Yunling smiled: "Yes, you heard right, serve me."

She gestured with her hand and said: "Don't rush to make a decision, let me explain the situation to you."

Shui Yunling said: "In the Central Star Realm, recruiting guest ministers is a very normal behavior. It should be a very relaxed employment relationship. The relationship between the host and guest minister is more like friends."

"Like friends?"

Gao Xuan immediately understood, which means it looks polite on the surface, but in essence, there is still a strict hierarchical relationship.

For a thousand years, the posture of noble families has been growing larger. Now even noble youth can recruit guests.

Shui Yunling couldn't see what Gao Xuan was thinking, she continued: "Guest ministers enjoy high treatment, and everyone respects each other. Guest ministers can even refuse the host's orders. This is allowed."

Gao Xuan smiled, he didn't speak, but the meaning was clear, these have no attraction.

Shui Yunling said seriously: "Becoming my guest minister, you will be part of the Shui Family, qualified to settle in the Central Star Realm. I can arrange the promotion qualifications in the Holy Hall. Including various corresponding resources can be met."

Seeing Gao Xuan not reacting, Shui Yunling felt a bit impatient. This man really lacks self-awareness, she personally issues an invitation, yet he hesitates.

If it were in the Central Star Realm, any bottom-level Foundation Establishment Cultivator wouldn't possibly refuse her invitation.

People from the Outer Star Realm are truly ignorant. They don't understand how important a guest minister of the Shui Family is.

Shui Yunling said: "You may have doubts about my identity, thinking I am not qualified to recruit guests. Rest assured, I am the 127th in line for inheritance in the Shui Family."

She modestly smiled: "You might not understand what this means, it represents my status in the family."

Being the 127th in line for inheritance might sound a bit funny.

Liangshan heroes are only 108, yet most are still considered unknown.

However, the Shui Family is not Liangshan Marsh.

The Shui Family is one of the top five noble families in the Holy Hall, also one of the strongest five noble families in the Alliance.

Just the direct descendants of the Shui Family number in the millions. Side branch descendants together total two billion.

These side branch descendants are not just numbers. Everyone with the surname Shui must obey the patriarch's orders.

Spread across the Central Star Realm with two billion people, even the lowest level Shui Family member will have a certain power and resources in their hands.

When these people gather together, one can imagine the immense power the Shui Family possesses.

Not to mention, Shui Yunling just having the inheritance qualification makes her a top figure in the Central Star Realm.

It's just her current cultivation is too weak, her experience too shallow, she hasn't been able to gather enough strength around her.

Moreover, she has many competitors. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Shui Yunling must constantly advance, prove her strength, to retain this inheritance qualification.

In fact, her cultivation has stagnated these past two years, her work has entered a flat period. Clearly showing a decline.

If this continues, within a few years when the family gathers for a conference again, her inheritance qualification might be revoked.

For this, Shui Yunling is quite anxious.

Coming to Red Light Star to investigate Gao Xuan this time, let Shui Yunling see an opportunity.

Gao Xuan's ability to locate the Evil God is actually of no great use to noble families and the Holy Hall.

If needed, the Holy Hall and noble families will naturally harvest a large number of Divine Crystals. As for how the lower levels complete the task and how much power is consumed, that is a matter for the bottom.

Whether harvesting one Divine Crystal takes a hundred people, or ten thousand people die, to the upper echelons it's all the same, not worth caring about.

However, at Shui Yunling's level, it's different.

She doesn't have such high status to freely consume Divine Crystals. Nor can she casually acquire Divine Crystals.

If she can enlist Gao Xuan, she can secretly harvest Divine Crystals.

No need for too many, getting ten or eight high-quality Divine Crystals should be enough for her to advance to Golden Core.

As long as she can advance to Golden Core, she can secure her foothold in the family. Other things can be done gradually.

Of course, doing so carries great risk.

Even if she's an inheritance candidate in the Shui Family, secretly keeping Divine Crystals is still a major crime.

Once discovered, not to mention the Holy Hall, even the Shui Family themselves will get her.

Then, can only hand over Gao Xuan to take the blame.

A formal guest minister, this identity is enough to bear the guilt. To wash her clean.

If things go smoothly, Gao Xuan will have to be eliminated. Such forbidden actions need strict secrecy. She can't trust a living person.

Of course, these things don't need to be explained to Gao Xuan.

Shui Yunling told Gao Xuan much about the inheritance identity, and spoke of many guest minister benefits, finally saying sincerely: "You help me, I won't treat you unfairly."

She promised: "The charge of secretly keeping Divine Crystals, I will resolve it for you."

Gao Xuan couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't secretly keep Divine Crystals."

Shui Yunling also laughed: "It's not up to you."

She said: "Your and Yuan Youyuan's magical artifacts are very strong. I think there's a problem."
