Chapter 707: An Analogy
Ye Yan couldn't help but mutter softly.
"Is everything you said true? That old guy from the Martial Arts Association really likes to hide his abilities!"
"When outsiders thought he was just an ordinary Grandmaster, he had already become a Grandmaster. When others thought he was a Grandmaster, he had already taken one step forward..."
"And now, everyone thinks he's at the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm! They even think he's the only top fighter in the entire Martial Arts Association!"
"Then his true strength, and the hidden strength of the Martial Arts Association..."
Ye Yan touched his chin with a complicated expression.
I always feel like I'm missing out on a lot!
For thousands of years, Chinese civilization has always adhered to the doctrine of the mean and has not liked to show off in anything.
In ancient times, people believed in "building high walls, storing up food, and slowly becoming king."
In modern times, it has developed a serious "fear of insufficient firepower".
He usually declares to the outside world that his strength is only one meter high, but his real hidden strength is probably more than three stories high!
If you don’t have any trump cards or killer weapons, you’d be embarrassed to come out.
For example, Ye Yan himself.
After being down the mountain for so long, he has never fully exposed his full strength.
Because he knew that once his trump card was revealed, he would be targeted by the enemy!
When the god begins to show his blood bar.
No matter how glorious it once was, it was only a matter of time before it was slaughtered!
Manlong looked at Ye Yan with anticipation: "Well, I've made my request! Can the Right Envoy of the Netherworld take charge and agree to my terms?"
Ye Yan sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Sorry, can't!"
The expectation on Manlong's face suddenly disappeared, and turned into a trace of anger and unwillingness.
"I, Manlong, was once a supreme Grandmaster and the strongest fighter of the Guan Gong Society! Although I am now old and frail, I am still the leader of the nine elders of the Guan Gong Society and play a decisive role in the selection of the society!"
"The Martial Arts Association has repeatedly stated that they are sincere in cooperating with me."
"And yet you refuse to even meet these requests of mine?"
"In that case, is there any need for us to continue this conversation?"
Ye Yan sighed again: "I admit that what you said makes sense! Your status and position are also crucial for the Martial Arts Association to completely subjugate the Guan Gong Association!"
"But your request... I really can't agree to it on behalf of the president!"
"Because even I don't know whether the Martial Arts Association has obtained the secret manuals of martial arts from thousands of years ago, or whether they have restored those long-lost elixirs!"
Barbarian Dragon frowned.
"Then there's no need to continue our conversation!"
The Martial Arts Association is unwilling to send someone who can actually make the decision. This is really underestimating him!
This also indirectly shows that the Wushu Association is unlikely to agree to his conditions.
After all, even Ye Yan didn’t know those secrets, so how could he have the authority to agree?
Ye Yan smiled helplessly.
"Master Long, please be patient. You might as well consider this issue from a different perspective!"
"Trust is mutual. If you were Master Long and wanted to win over a brilliant up-and-coming talent, would you immediately offer them all your hidden secrets, even all your wealth?"
"At the very least, you should examine this person's character and see if he's worth training. Or perhaps take him in as a disciple or adopted son, and use this method to bind him!"
"Otherwise, what if he gets all your resources, betrays you midway, or even joins your opponent and stabs you in the back..."
Barbarian Dragon opened his mouth and said, "How can this be compared?"
"Is this how the higher-ups in the Martial Arts Association view me? What do they think of me, Manlong?"
Ye Yan shrugged.
"Of course the two cannot be compared. I was just making an analogy, wasn't I?"
"But think about it, I'm already the Right Envoy of the Netherworld now, and I haven't been able to obtain those secret manuals or elixirs."
"How could the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Association be so foolish as to give all these things to you, an outsider who hasn't made any contribution yet?"
"If this news gets out, how will you convince the public? How will those pillars and important officials who have made great contributions to the Martial Arts Association recognize you?"
Having said that, Ye Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"For you now, getting those things is a curse, not a blessing!"
"Once you become the target of everyone's criticism and stand at the forefront of the storm, what will happen to you?"
"If you are isolated and helpless in the Martial Arts Association, can you really keep what you have?"
After these words were spoken, Manlong fell silent.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
When you are in the world, you will inevitably encounter intrigues.
If the situation really develops as Ye Yan said, even if he gets the secret manual of martial arts and elixir, it will be difficult to keep them.
But he was still not convinced.
After a moment's silence, he snorted coldly.
"After all this talk, the Martial Arts Association still refuses to agree to my conditions!"
"What's the point of making so many excuses?"
"The Freemasons are much more sincere than you! As long as I give the nod, they will immediately send the latest version of the genetic drug!"
Hearing what Manlong said, Ye Yan was not angry, but felt relieved.
The deception I just used was effective!
Manlong still appeared to be extremely stubborn, but in fact, his attitude had softened somewhat.
Next, whether I can completely fool him depends on my performance.
"Haha, then you might as well agree to them! I won't stop you!"
"Anyway, it won't be me who will be completely cut off from my future in martial arts, it won't be me who will be without descendants, and it won't be me who will die!"
