368. Master Apprenticeship (4K)

Marne's main reaction to this proposal was concern and alert. Although he did want to obtain anti-mind metal, what is happening now is not a good thing for him.

Because it was only a matter of time before he obtained the anti-mind metal according to his own plan, and there was no need to have any contact with a dangerous V-level abilities like Xiaoyao Taoist. After all, his motivation was too difficult to speculate.

Marx did not believe in luck. He didn't think he would suddenly have some special cultivation physique. Even if Xiaoyao really saw something different from ordinary people, it must be something he already has now.

There are indeed some things that can attract level V-level abilities in me, but no matter which Taoist Xiaoyao is interested in, it will not be a good thing for me, especially the "Divine Sky Blood" and the control bureau itself, their existence is a trouble.

But this is not the worst place. The real problem is the "stop" thing that Shadow just said, and the thing he was at hand obviously refers to the negotiation with Shenxiao. Marx and En even suspected that Shadow said this on purpose.

Whether this is intentional or not, I cannot make it directly and accept this proposal and continue to work at the same time, because even if it does not completely reveal my desire to stay in this task, it will leave a seed of doubt in their hearts.

If the Federation is willing to hand over the anti-mind metal to itself directly, then he can consider and run away after agreeing. Unfortunately, Xiaoyao and the Federation cannot be so stupid, and they have no trust in themselves at all.

If Xiaoyao really planned something about him, he would definitely not give him a chance to run away with something.

"This condition is quite good." Facing everyone's enthusiastic proposal, Marx did not directly agree or refuse, "but this news is a bit too sudden for me, and I may need some time to consider it carefully."

Since he cannot directly propose to perform two tasks at the same time, and looking at the current situation, it will be difficult to have another chance to obtain anti-mind metal if he directly refuses it. Then dragging time until the end of this task is the best choice.

Mar En also showed a bit of resistance when he said this, and at the same time hesitated due to the generous reward, making everyone who looked at him realize that he was actually full of alert for this proposal.

Seeing this, the shadow responsible for communication did not put pressure on Ma En, but nodded and said:

"I can understand your thoughts, and this is not something that needs to be answered immediately. As long as you make a decision, you can always go to the disciples of Taoist Master Xiaoyao as a disciple. As long as you are a little clear and clear, you can obtain anti-mind metal.

"We won't hide it. This is actually a deal between Xiaoyao and the Federation. He knows that you want our anti-mind metal, and he also knows that the Federation wants its longevity technology, so he made this win-win deal with us.

"And I can see that he really wants to ask you to be a disciple. You will definitely doubt whether he has ulterior motives, but to be honest, you should be able to realize that you actually have nothing worthy of the coveted by those with level V abilities.

"You can think carefully and don't rush to refuse. If you have other conditions you want, you can negotiate with the Federation through me or Tang Xueluan. I believe many politicians are willing to give in to you in this regard."

At this time, the shadow also sent a complete message to the edge of Mar En's mind:

'I just said that the Federation will not allow politicians to give their interests at will to exchange their own longevity, but they have proposed the "Flower Plan for the Undestined Plan" with very exquisite and magical means. The main purpose of politicians to propose this plan is to naturally extend their lifespan, but they make the plan itself in the interests of the Federation through various complex conditions.

'But there are few abnormal items that meet the Unold Spring Plan. The need to be repeatable has already stopped most abnormal items. I think you should also know that there were politicians who wanted to achieve eternity by transforming into vampires, but encountered the obstruction of Shenxiao.

'In a sense, it can also be regarded as an obstacle to the Federation itself, because the Shenxiao at that time was also a very important part of the Federation, but the Longevity Pill is the very few abnormal items that meet the requirements of the "Unold Spring Plan". They come from another civilization that we have not yet discovered and even doubt whether it exists.

‘But if Xiaoyao didn’t lie in this regard, then although this kind of thing is quite expensive, it has an unusually high reproducibility, and can even master the technology of making these things through learning.

‘So if you are willing to slowly pull with them, you can definitely get better conditions than this, or if you really just want anti-mind metal, you can also get metal that is larger than before. You should know that there is also a huge gap between the abnormal entities within the V-level.

‘This matter has nothing to do with me, so my advice is purely a small reward for your help.’

Mar En quickly received this message, and then a few seconds after Shadow's words fell, the old man who had always been relatively calm no longer remained silent and spoke to Mar En:

"Although we have reached a three-party deal with Xiaoyao, what you can get is not just these things on the surface. Xiaoyao masters advanced technologies from other civilizations. If you can learn the essence of it, it will also have extremely high benefits for you.

"You have also heard Xiaoyao just said that with your talent, as long as you can get good teaching, there is a great possibility of being promoted to level V through this technology. I think a person as smart as you will not miss such an opportunity - even if there is really risks in it.

"After all, most people are extremely dangerous to advance to level V."

As he finished saying this, Shadow then passed a message from Zhao Guanwu around Ma En's heart.

The old man's voice swept through Mar En's mind:

‘And we assume that Xiaoyao really has to deal with you – although the possibility is very low, it is not entirely a bad thing for you.

‘Because even if he is really malicious, you will learn the life-extending technique that the Federation desires before he is promoted to Level V. So even if you really encounter danger, it is not impossible to fight back. The existence of the Federation is your fuse.

‘If you can also master the technology of extending your life, we can also provide you with shelter, or even work together to kill him and hand over his relics to you who have mastered another civilized technology for interpretation.

‘You are obviously a better partner to us.’

The old man's statement is not completely unreasonable, but it is a little bit idealistic. Xiaoyao may not give himself a chance to do so. After all, he is actually very clear about what is important to the Federation.

But what Zhao Guanwu said in front of Xiaoyao is very reasonable. Since Xiaoyao has the possibility of being promoted to level V, the risks that may not necessarily exist in the same way actually don't seem that bad. In fact, if he has "confidence", then using the federal government to deal with Xiaoyao is actually a reasonable final means.

It’s a pity that the premise for this statement is that Mar and En cannot be promoted, but unfortunately he is the very rare exception.

In reality, Ma Eng showed a struggle after Zhao Guanwu finished speaking, but he slowly calmed down a few seconds later, and then he remained firmly just now and said:

"You have made some sense, but I still have to think carefully. In the face of such a proposal, I cannot and am willing to give a hasty answer. Give me some time and space to think about it.

"Don't worry, I'll give you an answer sooner or later."

Speaking of this, Shadow and Zhao Guanwu have nothing to say. As for Shen Zongdao, Tang Xueluan and Kaniya are not suitable to speak under the current circumstances - although they are all suppressing things in their hearts at this moment.

The protagonist of this incident also walked towards Mar En, and then looked at him and said sincerely:

"I know you will definitely suspect that I want to avenge Du Jin. I also understand that you don't understand our concepts and culture. You can't understand why I am angry about Du Jin's killer behavior, but this does not matter to you or me.

"The reason why I want to accept you as a disciple is very simple. You are the most talented young man I have seen since I entered this world. You also have a physique that is extremely suitable for practicing and inheriting my martial arts, not to mention your outstanding mind.

"You have followed the innate god and demon that the Federation feared without hesitation, and I have also heard of her philosophy. To be honest, in a place like your rituals and music, she has many noble disciples and masters who are not as noble as you, so it is worthy of my belief in your character just following her to go to war with the Federation.

"Others may feel that your behavior just now in front of Shenxiao is a bit embarrassing, but I can feel that you will behave like this only because you are kind and confused because of your experience, but this is exactly the morality I like.

"If you can't speak in front of her today, then you will never be able to commit evil deeds to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors in the future.

"So you are a young and handsome talent with outstanding talents and good character, while my incompetent disciple Du Jin is a despicable villain with mediocre talents and killing him in the competition. Do you think I will take revenge on you for Du Jin?

"I heard from the people of the Federation that you want that anti-spirit metal. As long as you are willing to worship my disciple, it will be your apprenticeship. And you will never lack genius treasures in the future. As a teacher, you can personally create a magic weapon for you to protect your life. How about it?"

Faced with the passionate leisure, Ma En's choice was to take two steps back slightly:

"Thank you for your favour, but I really can't agree with you right away. I have already decided to spend my life in an ordinary way. This is why I came to seek federal asylum. I really can't make up my mind..."

Seeing this, Xiaoyao did not chase him and made him become a disciple:

"What I practice is the free and easy way. If you worship, you don't need to care about anything. Just concentrate on your practice, but I will not force a fate that cannot be achieved. Since you have not made up your mind, think about it carefully.

"But if you are a little suspicious, you can just let me see my residence. Maybe you can see it with your own eyes to dispel your doubts."

Maren nodded:

"If I have time, I will definitely visit."

Since Xiaoyao did not intend to let him go, he could not really escape. Moreover, if he could obtain the scepter of the sea as planned, he might not be able to deal with the potential conspiracy.

Seeing this, the others didn't say anything else. Shadow and Zhao Guanwu did not show their true thoughts. Kaniya looked at him with a little curious look, as if she wanted to know what Mar En was thinking.

Shin Zongdao also smiled and nodded at him. His rejection of Mar En was actually a bit gloating. Although he could not stop this matter as a member of the Federation, he certainly did not want to see Mar En get anti-mind metal.

If he really joins Xiaoyao's sect, the power of the Shu family of Rongbang Sect will be increased again.

As for Xiaoyao's longevity technology, in the eyes of Shen Zongdao, after all, if Marx and En did not join him, it would not mean that the Federation will not be able to obtain longevity technology from Xiaoyao again in the future. Of course, this is also because he is still young.

In fact, he didn't expect that Ma En would really disagree with this request. If Ma En accepted it, then Shen Zongdao felt that he might not be qualified to cause trouble for him again, but if Ma En really refused, he would probably not even be able to get the anti-mind metal again.

Marx and Nemesis would make such a decision either stupid or cowardly.

Anyway, Shen Zongdao felt that if he had been in the position of Ma En, he would definitely not miss this opportunity to be promoted to Level V.

"Let's go too." Tang Xueluan spoke after they all left, and glanced at him with a faint look.

‘You seem to have something to say.’ Marx established a telepathy channel.

Tang Xueluan replied in his heart:

‘Sorry, I couldn’t say it just now, but in fact they have already agreed to let me inform you that the Federation will not allow you to obtain anti-spirit metal under the original conditions, even if our Shu family uses its own connections and resources.

'This was first proposed by Shen Zongdao, but I think they also know it deep in their hearts - you obviously want to rebel against the soul metal, so you want to betray Shenxiao and come here, so they plan to use your weakness to "force" you to accept Xiaoyao's invitation.

‘If you really want to reject me, I can forcefully reject them for you, but this will definitely anger many capable people in the Federation, and I guess when Shen Zongdao said this, he was already looking forward to your rejection.

‘Because in this way, if you still want to obtain anti-mind metal, you must at least allow the Federation to gain equal benefits as it is now. In other words, we will have to pay a huge price, but your vigilance is not unreasonable.

‘So the last choice is in your hands.’

Facing her sincere words, Ma En simply replied:

‘I think we have to talk about this again.’
