Chapter 209 Discussion

When Xiao Ling heard Medusa's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself. He had indeed heard some information about the Three Kingdoms Alliance from Hai Bodong before, and had a certain understanding of the matter.

Since in the original work, the Mulan Empire, the Luoyan Empire and the Izumo Empire joined forces, the invasion of the Gama Empire happened three or four years later, but he had not paid much attention to it before.

However, when Xiao Ling thought about it carefully, he realized that the Soul Palace was also behind this incident. The Bird Protector was captured by him before, and now he has been refined into an earth demon puppet. Perhaps it was because he could not contact the Bird Protector that the three countries jointly invaded the Gama Empire to happen in advance.

Facing the potential threat from the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Garma Empire will indeed face a big dilemma.

Although the top powers in the Three Kingdoms are not a threat in Xiao Ling's eyes, this is undoubtedly a severe test for the Jiama Empire.

Xiao Ling knew that he could not stay in the Jia Ma Empire forever. Therefore, it would be beneficial to both parties to promote an alliance between the Snake People and the Jia Ma Empire.

At this time, Zi Yan gently pulled Xiao Ling's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Ling, please help sister Medusa. She is also helpless."

Xiao Ling shook her head helplessly and responded softly: "Don't worry, Zi Yan, even if it's for your sake, I will naturally help you with this."

Then, Xiao Ling turned to Medusa and said calmly: "Queen Medusa, please rest assured. I will personally take you to the royal family of the Gama Empire for communication. As for the specific content of the negotiation, it will be up to you. Negotiate with the Jia Ma Empire."

Queen Medusa also breathed a sigh of relief. She knew what Xiao Ling's promise meant. With Xiao Ling's introduction, there was greater hope for the alliance between the Snake Tribe and the Gama Empire.

Although Medusa's voice was still emotionless, it sounded a little more relaxed. She said: "Thank you so much, Master Xiao Ling. When the matter is completed, I, the Snake Tribe, will be well rewarded."

Xiao Ling waved her hand gently and replied in an indifferent tone, "No need to say thank you. If you want to be grateful, just thank Zi Yan."

The little resources of the snake people were not very attractive to him.

In Xiao Ling's opinion, the only thing among the snake people that can arouse his interest is the potential of Medusa herself. If she could evolve into a seven-color sky-swallowing python, or even a nine-color sky-swallowing python, then she would truly have unlimited potential and be worth cultivating.

Then, Xiao Ling said, "Time is running out, let's go to the palace now."

Queen Medusa nodded slightly, and then gave Zi Yan a gentle smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling's figure flashed and disappeared into the courtyard like a gust of wind. Upon seeing this, Medusa immediately followed. Her posture was as strong as a swimming snake, and she quickly caught up with Xiao Ling.

…

Not long after, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in front of the Gama Empire Palace.

Seeing someone suddenly appearing, the guards were originally on alert, but when they recognized the leader as Xiao Ling, they immediately straightened their bodies and saluted, "Master Xiao Ling."

Xiao Ling's face is still very recognizable in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

The eyes of these guards were full of awe, and they obviously had high respect for this young alchemy master.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly to express his gratitude to the guards. He looked calm and spoke in a calm tone: "My sudden visit may have disturbed your work, but I do have something important to discuss with Mr. Jia. Please let me know."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the guard captain immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully: "Master Xiao Ling is serious. Your visit is our honor. Jia Lao has already given instructions that you can come and go freely in the palace. No need to Report and you can meet with him at any time.”

The guard captain finished his answer respectfully, and then added hesitantly: "Master Xiao Ling, do you need me to send someone to lead you?"

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that he knew something about the layout of the palace. "No need to bother, captain of the guard. I still remember the way to Jia Lao Chu very clearly."

After hearing this, the guard captain no longer asked too much, but bowed again, stood aside, and made way for Xiao Ling and Medusa. "In that case, please do as you please, master. If you need anything, please feel free to tell us."

Xiao Ling nodded lightly, expressed his thanks again, and then led Medusa forward steadily along the familiar palace road.

The two of them passed through the palace gates. When the palace maids and guards along the way saw Xiao Ling, they all bowed their heads and saluted, not daring to look directly at him. Xiao Ling's name has long been a household name in the Jia Ma Empire, and his arrival naturally caused quite a commotion.

Ten minutes passed. Xiao Ling took Medusa to the courtyard where Jia Xingtian lived.

It seemed that someone in the palace had announced their arrival, so before Xiao Ling stepped forward to knock on the door, a girl with a cool temperament slowly opened the door from inside. Xiao Ling recognized her identity at a glance. She was Yaoye, the eldest princess of the Jiama Empire royal family.

When Yao Ye first looked at Xiao Ling, she had a gentle smile on her face. However, when her eyes inadvertently fell on Medusa behind Xiao Ling, her gentle smile instantly solidified.

As the eldest princess of the royal family of the Gama Empire, she naturally knew the true appearance of Medusa. Although his subordinates reported that Xiao Ling came this time and brought a woman with him, he did not expect that it was the famous Medusa.

After taking a closer look, Yao Ye discovered that Medusa no longer had a snake tail. This performance clearly meant that Medusa had broken through to the Douzong realm.

Dou Zong, in the current Jia Ma Empire, no one can openly reach it.

Now the queen of the snake people, Medusa, who has always had friction with the Jia Ma Empire, has reached Dou Zong. How can she not be surprised by such a thing?

Although she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, Yao Ye, as the eldest princess of the Jia Ma Empire, was very polite and quickly recovered her expression. She made a gesture of invitation gracefully and said to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, the great grandfather has been waiting inside for a long time."

Xiao Ling felt the subtle changes in Yao Ye, but did not say much, just smiled slightly in response, and then walked into the courtyard first.

Medusa glanced at Yao Ye lightly, and then followed Xiao Ling's pace.

Entering the courtyard, Xiao Ling and Medusa's eyes fell on Jia Xingtian together.

When the head Xingtian saw Medusa, he also showed a look of surprise.

However, after Xiao Ling briefly explained their purpose, Jia Xingtian quickly regained his composure.

After some in-depth negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus and agreed to form an alliance.

The Gama Empire agreed to assign an area of ​​the Warcraft Mountains to the Serpent People, but on the condition that if any other country launched an attack on the Gama Empire, the Serpent People must also provide support.

Under the current situation, Jia Xingtian knew that Medusa had broken through to the Dou Zong realm and he could not offend her too much. Although Xiao Ling did not explicitly express his support for Medusa, from his attitude, Jia Xingtian could feel his approval of the alliance between the two sides.

Moreover, forming an alliance with the Serpent People will undoubtedly enhance the strength of the Gama Empire and add a guarantee to face the threat of the three-nation alliance.

However, after this incident, Jia Xingtian became more determined to break through the Dou Zong as soon as possible.

He thought to himself: "It is necessary to gather the medicinal materials for refining the Po Zong Dan during the period when Xiao Ling has not left the Gama Empire, and ask him to refine another Po Zong Dan."

With the final details finalized, Jia Xingtian and Medusa finally ended their consultations and reached a consensus.

Seeing that the discussion between the two sides had come to an end, Xiao Ling said softly: "Since the two of you have finished discussing, I will not stay any longer and will take my leave first."

Medusa saw that Xiao Ling was about to leave, and also indicated that she had no intention of staying here, and said softly: "In that case, I will leave with you."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling just nodded slightly and did not say much.

Immediately, Xiao Ling turned to Jia Xingtian and Princess Yaoye and said hello: "Mr. Jia, Princess Yaoye, it's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. See you at the meeting tomorrow."

Princess Yaoye watched Xiao Ling's figure, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She said in a soft voice with a hint of expectation: "Master Xiao Ling, let Ye'er take you there."

Jia Xingtian also echoed and added with a hint of meaning, "Yes, Master Xiao Ling and Ye'er are of similar age, so it's suitable for them to communicate more."

When Medusa heard Jia Xingtian's words, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes. She had heard Zi Yan mention it before that Xiao Ling was not a loyal person.

Xiao Ling naturally caught Jia Xingtian's implication, and seemed to intend to match himself with Yao Ye.

Although Yao Ye's beauty is indeed outstanding, she can be called a national beauty, no less than Xiao Yixian and Han Yue, and only half a step behind Xiao Xun'er, and her noble and cold temperament adds a bit of charm to her.

However, Xiao Ling is not the kind of person who can't walk when seeing a beautiful woman.

In his opinion, emotional matters not only require mutual attraction between both parties, but also a deep emotional foundation. He and Yao Ye don't have much intersection, and there are not many emotional ties between them.

Moreover, he still didn't know whether the other party really admired him or had other purposes.

Xiao Ling smiled slightly and declined Yao Ye's kindness: "Thank you, Princess Yao Ye, but don't bother me. I still know how to get around the palace."

Then, without waiting for Yao Ye to respond, he left alone.

Seeing this, Medusa immediately followed Xiao Ling's steps and left the courtyard together.

Watching Xiao Ling and Medusa's backs gradually going away, Yao Ye's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of loss that was difficult to hide.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the focus of everyone's attention. Countless young talents have fallen at her feet. Everything she desires can always be easily obtained.

However, today, facing Xiao Ling's indifference, she couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Yao Ye knew in her heart that Xiao Ling's excellence was naturally favored by many women. Even if she was willing to lower her status, she could not guarantee that she could win Xiao Ling's favor. However, when Xiao Ling's rejection was really in front of her, the bitter feeling still spread in her heart.

Although it was Jia Xingtian's arrangement to get close to Xiao Ling, facing such a talented and handsome person like Xiao Ling, Yao Ye found that her heart could not help but waver. After all, how could a young woman not admire such an outstanding man?

Jia Xingtian witnessed Yao Ye's emotional changes, and could only express his mood with a sigh and a helpless shake of his head.

He originally hoped that Yao Ye could get closer to Xiao Ling, and if he could promote a good relationship, it would naturally be the most ideal result. But now it seems that this road does not seem to be smooth.

In this case, he can only pin his hopes on another princess, Yao Yue.

As far as he knew, the relationship between Yaoyue and Xiao Yan had always been quite harmonious. If the marriage between the two could be facilitated, it would undoubtedly add a closer bond between the royal family and the Xiao family.

Jia Xingtian knew well that although political marriage was a temporary expedient, it was also a masterful way to consolidate power in the complex power chess game.

The talent and potential shown by Xiao Ling indicate that his stage is far beyond the Gama Empire. The vast Central Continent is where he will spread his wings and fly high.

If it can forge a deeper connection with the Xiao family, the Jiama Empire can obtain more generous returns.

On the contrary, if the Xiao family continues to grow under the leadership of Xiao Ling, even if they have no desire to covet the Jia Ma Empire, the Jia Ma Empire's status and influence will be difficult to sustain, and will eventually end up in a situation where it exists in name only.

…

In Xiao Ling's courtyard, the Little Medical Fairy, Qing Lin and Zi Yan were sitting around talking, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Suddenly, there was a subtle spatial fluctuation in the air, and then the two figures gradually solidified. It was Xiao Ling and Medusa who had just returned.

The appearance of the two broke the original conversation, and the three people's eyes turned to them invariably.

Zi Yan jumped up from the seat lightly, like a cheerful bird flying between Xiao Ling and Medusa, holding one in each hand, and asked expectantly: "Xiao Ling, sister Medusa, and the royal family?" How are the negotiations going?"

Xiao Ling was helpless and curious, and asked Zi Yan: "Is there any special benefit to you from the agreement between the Snake Tribe and the Gama Empire?"

Zi Yan was stunned when she was asked. She really had not thought about this question deeply. She just instinctively wanted to help out of friendship with Medusa.

But then, she rolled her eyes and seemed to have thought of something. She said with a hint of playfulness: "In this case, it will be more convenient for me to see Sister Medusa. From now on, I can go to see Sister Medusa during the day and come back at night." You refine the elixir."

After hearing Zi Yan's answer, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and said funny and angrily: "We won't stay in the Jia Ma Empire forever. Do you think we will stay here forever?"

Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and realized how naive she was, but she still said stubbornly, "It'll be easier every day. Oh, just tell me. I'm just curious."

Xiao Ling chuckled and rubbed Zi Yan's head, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "I am not the protagonist of this matter. You should ask your sister Medusa yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan turned to Medusa with curiosity in her eyes, looking forward to her answer.
