Zhang Shunlong's expression changed immediately, and he rose to his feet.
"I'm asking... are you ready?"
With just an easy sentence, Xiao Zhengyan's body trembled.
This was not a negotiation; it was a blatant threat!
He could only respond hastily, "We're ready! Definitely ready!"
Zhang Shunlong was then satisfied.
He came here simply to find someone to finance his expenses.
Even though he was an elder of the Innate Palace, his savings were not substantial, all spent on cultivation necessities.
And Xiao Zhengyan, being a businessman of moderate scale, was exactly who he could take advantage of.
"You, come with me to Canglang State," Zhang Shunlong ordered, pointing at Xiao Zhengyan.
Xiao Zhengyan didn't dare to disobey, nodding his head like he was pounding garlic.
That's when the always silent Xiao Yun also spoke up, "Grandmaster Zhang, may I accompany you?"
Xiao Zhengyan panicked at that, hurriedly saying, "A child has no place speaking out of turn!"
