Chen Sheng considered it carefully.
'Is it really so inconvenient for Nie Xiangjun to appear this time?'
'I don't think so.'
Based on Chen Sheng's deductions, the reason Nie Xiangjun hadn't appeared herself but had instead roped him into coming was to make the Nie Family's stance clear to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect: unless there were benefits to be had, the Nie Family wouldn't truly get involved.
'If that weren't the case, why would Nie Xiangjun have dropped hints on the way here?'
"I understand your meaning, Lord Chen. So, what percentage does the Nie Family require?"
Lady Lan sighed inwardly.
But having led the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect for many years, she quickly composed herself.
'I was too naive, thinking the Nie Family would protect the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect just because we're a vassal. I thought Ouyang Ke making it onto the Dragon and Tiger List would be enough for them to want an alliance.'
