Chapter 369 366. Longevity (3K)

After briefly chatting about the elixir, and after the Federation and Ma En mutually confirmed that they wanted to make a deal, Ma En followed other negotiators, including Tang Xueluan, into the back door, and teleported to the prison passage again.

And Shen Zongdao, who watched him enter the passage, stood up after he disappeared for a while:

"He's already in."

The other negotiators and Tang Xueluan who heard this painting also stood up, and then walked towards the "back door" with the teleportation function in unison, and when they opened the door, the scene behind them was not what Zhao Guan had just seen.

It was not isolated from the secret that Ma En walked into, but an observation room filled with giant screens and projection equipment, and the scene of Ma En walking into the courtyard was being played.

Shen Zongdao was the first negotiator among them to enter this room. His original purpose of coming here was to cause trouble for Tang Xueluan and Ma En, but just now Xiaoyao gave Ma En the elixir, which made him no longer dare.

Trouble with Ma En.

From this look, it seems that either Xiaoyao really wants to deal with Ma En, or Ma En really has some real abilities, so now Shen Zongdao can only stand aside and watch Ma En to avoid causing any trouble to himself.

Ma En, who was under the influence of the semi-holographic overlook, seemed a little hesitant and did not immediately walk inside.

Kania whispered to the old man beside her:

"In line with the model we established for him, Ma En did cooperate with us because of some urgent reason for needing anti-psychic metal. He still feels guilty about Shenxiao deep in his heart, and we still can't let him go too far.

Go deep into matters with Shenxiao."

Zhao Guanwu nodded:

"Well, that makes sense. We do need to be more vigilant against Shenxiao's minions."

Tang Xueluan stood aside and listened to what they said, not knowing how to react. When Shen Zongdao saw this scene, he immediately spoke to everyone driven by professional instinct:

"Do you think this guy can really convince Shen Xiao?"

While speaking, he also looked at Tang Xueluan.

Seeing that no one else had any reaction, Tang Xueluan did not give in either:

"I believe in Ma En's ability."

Although Shen Zongdao asked the question out of doubt, he did not refute or ridicule Tang Xueluan, a new member of the opposing faction. After all, the answer was right in front of them.

He looked at Ma En walking toward the front door in the holographic image with anxiety.

He walked to the main door, and then the federal staff controlled the door and opened it to both sides.

Ma En raised his legs and walked to the living room, and sat down opposite Shen Xiao very carefully. Moreover, this time he did not wait for Shen Xiao to say greetings, but directly said to her straight to the point:

"I'm here to negotiate at the request of the Federation, who want to put you under surveillance."

Shen Xiao's eyes when looking at him were not as gentle as last time:

"Can't you refuse them?"

Although she understood the cooperation between Ma En and the Federation last time, she did not seem to expect that Ma En would cooperate with them in depth again.

Ma En lowered his head slightly:

"No, they gave me good conditions, so I came here because..."

He seemed a little unable to speak, and sat there struggling for several seconds.

But in the end he forced the words out of his mouth.

"Because I need help from the federation, I know this is wrong, but I don't know what is right, so I came here to hear your opinion..."

Shen Xiao's expression became a little unhappy:

"You are in trouble, so you need help from the federation, and you decided to use my price in exchange for help, but it is obvious that you feel guilty about this, so you came here to get my consent. You want to hear me

Say I am willing to sacrifice my own interests to help you.

"This is a very selfish thing to do."

Ma En said in a low voice:

"Sorry, but I have no choice."

Shen Xiao sighed:

"When you came last time, you also said that you had joined the Federation. I said at that time that I could understand you. In fact, I can still understand what you do now. When we face difficulties, we will naturally choose

Bending down, there is nothing you can do.

"Reality is cruel, and the Federation is the winner, but the problem is that now you are standing on the opposite side of me.

"I won't blame you for this, but even though I am still full of sympathy and gratitude for you, and remember the years when you fought with me as a member of the Salvation Alliance, when you stand opposite me...

"With these feelings, I will treat you as an enemy, and I will even kill you if necessary and opportunity arises.

"This doesn't mean that I don't sympathize with you. I still hope that we can all get the results we deserve, but just like when you encounter difficulties and need a helping hand from the federal government, you can only make concessions to them because reality gives you no choice.

.

"This harsh reality also leaves me with no choice - I can't help you.

"I'm sorry. In fact, the best situation is that I stand behind you as the person who can protect you, but the Federation has imprisoned me, and the reality makes us stand on opposite sides. If you face the difficulties and

If I had to make a choice between the whole world...

"I won't hesitate at all.

"Sorry, please go back."

Ma En fell into silence.

Shen Xiao paused and then said:

"I will never forget what you have done. We helped each other in the earliest days, and you certainly never thought that you would be standing opposite me in the future. But in reality, the ending is often better than you imagined.

It's countless times crueler.

"But now that you have joined the Federation, seize the opportunity at hand.

"Help you have a bright future."

After saying this, she looked like she was seeing off a guest.

Ma En didn't say any prepared words at all. Faced with her condemnation, he could only stand up in shame, then turned around as if he didn't dare to face the gods directly, and left the room as if he was running away.

The stone in Shen Zongdao's heart finally fell to the ground.

"It's not beyond my expectation." Shen Zongdao smiled, and then looked at Tang Xueluan, who just said that he had confidence in Ma En. What made him feel good was that her expression was quite heavy now.

The other senior members did not show any surprise at this. They actually did not think that Shen Xiao might be persuaded by Ma En, as long as Tang Xueluan was a little unable to accept the result.

Shen Zongdao walked a few steps in the direction of Tang Xueluan with a smile on his face, and even felt that his whole body relaxed a lot.

Ma En, who failed to complete the task, was no longer a problem for him. At this time, Ma En even seemed a little funny in his eyes.

Ma En's inability to say that moving Shen Xiao was actually not a problem. What really made him look down on Ma En was his lack of self-awareness. Since he didn't have the ability to stand upright in front of Shen Xiao, he shouldn't have accepted such a task.

In the end, Ma En's result was that she was no longer recognized by Shenxiao.

How pitiful.

Shen Zongdao continued:

"It seems that Marn really needs anti-psychic metal as urgently as we thought, so I have a small suggestion. Unless there are any special circumstances, don't really give anti-psychic metal to this guy.

"Because he may be a threat to us after we get it, but as long as we don't hand him the anti-psychic metal, but continue to hang him with verbal promises, we can easily control this horse.

"Of course, now we have no reason to give him anti-psychic metal."

Faced with these slightly sarcastic words from Shen Zongdao, Tang Xueluan said nothing, but she had to admit that Shen Zongdao's proud words and deeds at this time made it even more difficult for her to accept Ma En's failure.

Although she didn't think that Ma En was really able to convince Shen Xiao, she never thought that he would fail so simply.

At least he had to lose with dignity.

At this time, Tang Xueluan even reflected on whether she had wrongly looked at Ma En at that time. She could not imagine that the Ma En in her eyes at that time was the same person who was facing Shenxiao now, even if the person facing him was Shenxiao.

It's so embarrassing.

Didn't Ma En know that he couldn't succeed? Why didn't he mention it or say...

Has his thirst for anti-psychic metal really driven him to another path?

Seeing that Tang Xueluan was a little unstable, Shen Zongdao continued to stimulate her with a sarcastic tone:

"Since you have failed, why not withdraw from the negotiation directly? Ma En's behavior makes me a little more worried. You see, he does not have the courage and consciousness to stand on our side and oppose Shenxiao. I even doubt him because

The guilt that arises now betrays us..."

But just when he was throwing dirty water on the Rongbang faction members...

Taoist Xiaoyao suddenly spoke with emotion:

"I don't think this is a sign of cowardice. Instead, I think Ma En is a young man who values ​​love and justice. Although he wavered and struggled in the face of selfish interests, in the end he still did not lose his bottom line when faced with true justice.

"

The shadow who heard this also spoke:

"Xiao Shen, I know you want to drive them away, but now is not a good time."

He was referring to the fact that Ma En had not yet handed over the elixirs to them. Others present had also thought of this - but they had not yet thought that Ma En was deliberately not in a hurry to trade these elixirs with them for this reason.

At this moment, Xiaoyao looked at Shadow again and asked:

"Shadow, do you still remember the promise you made to find me a few more disciples to make up for it after I, Du Jin, died?"

Shadow noticed something was wrong:

"What?"

Xiaoyao turned around and looked at him with a smile and said:

"Now there is no need to find 'a few'. I see that this Ma En is extremely talented and has a pretty good character, so why not just let him join me directly. Of course, I know that he will definitely have some feelings for me.

Fear, so be it...

"If you can let Ma En worship me, I will give you ten longevity pills. These pills can increase your life span for thousands of years, ward off diseases and avoid disasters. And as you think, even ordinary people can eat and drink like water."

Like swallowing.

"And according to your words, this thing will not bring abnormal changes to the user. Although the person who eats these has a thousand-year lifespan, he is still an ordinary person with a thousand-year lifespan, neither an immortal nor a god nor a ghost...

"Not a monster either."
