Chapter 696 (2/2)

Shi Shi nodded. “I heard from my father that amongst the many clans in the Northern Ice Region, the Henry Clan has the oldest legacy and a deep accumulation of power and wealth. In the future, our Gold Robed faction will still need a lot of support from you in managing the Northern Ice Region.”

“That’s of course,” the Henry Clan’s leader said respectfully. “You sirs are all top notch expects, and it really is the great fortune of our Henry Clan to be able to provide our services.”

Just then, the head of the Henry Clan, who had been carefully observing Shi Shi’s emotions and interests, noticed a hint of astonishment in Shi Shi’s indifferent gaze when he glanced at Audrey.

The Henry Clan’s head smiled. “That’s the number one beauty of our Northern Ice Region, Audrey from the Pop Clan.”

“Oh?” A hint of interest flashed in Shi Shi’s eyes. This was the first questioning tone he had spoken since he appeared.

The Henry Clan’s head was extremely crafty, and when he heard Shi Shi’s tone, he immediately understood what his intentions were. The Henry Clan’s head quickly said, “Haha, Audrey has always admired your talent. The two of you are a perfect match and will be able to get along well. I’ll get the others to come over.”

While he was speaking, the Henry Clan’s head had already sent out information currents to Audrey and Audrey’s father, telling Audrey to come over quickly.

However, Audrey did not pay him any heed. Audrey’s father tried to persuade her, “Audrey, at least go and have a chat with him. Just a chat is fine, right? If you contradict Shi Shi too much, our Pop Clan will probably be unable to do well in the Northern Ice Region.”

Audrey sighed and said, “Father, you’re wrong. In the past, the Northern Ice Region hasn’t been in the rule of the Gold Robed Mages, it still won’t be in the future.”

After Henry saw that Audrey had not taken any action even after a while, his countenance fell. He thought that Audrey did not know any better just because of her great beauty. He shouted, “Audrey, come over quickly. Lord Shi Shi wishes to meet you.”

He had shouted out directly, attempting to force Audrey to come over.

However, Audrey only returned an indifferent glance to his shouts. Her eyelids lowered slightly as she said, “Henry Clan’s head, did you forget that just a few months ago, you were defeated by Xingjian and that you pledged your allegiance to the Second Prince? How long has it been and you’re already switching your allegiance?”

Hearing Audrey’s words, the face of Henry Clan’s head turned extremely grim. The fact that he had been badly bashed up by Fang Xingjian and even the corpses of his four ancestors had been defeated was a great humiliation to him.

How could he possibly not feel angered by Audrey’s words?

However, he held back his fury and said, “Miss Audrey, a prudent bird selects its tree. In the past, Fang Xingjian compelled and threatened our Henry Clan into submission with violence.

“Now, Lord Shi Shou has come to the Northern Ice Region. The Gold Robed faction has held great standing in the world for several thousand years, and Lord Gold Mage King is a top notch expert in the world, a tier five Divine level existence.

“What’s wrong with me submitting to their grace?”

Audrey continued to lower her head and gaze, saying with a sigh, “Aren’t you afraid that Xingjian will come back and kill you with a slash for your fickle-mindedness?”

“Hahahaha,” Henry Clan’s head laughed out loud. “Fang Xingjian is young and ignorant. In the past, he showed disrespect to the royal family and to seniors, relying on the sword arts he had learned from god knows where. He was unbridled and threw his weight around, creating great problems everywhere he went.

“But Lord Shi Shou is now in Sun City, and the gold faction black magic is unrivalled in this world. They can control time and lifespan. How can a mere Fang Xingjian be a match for them?

“Moreover, it’s said that Fang Xingjian has hidden in the Holy Light Clan. Lord Devin has already led a group into the depths of the snowy mountains, and the seven great clans have been completely suppressed. Despite Holy Light Clan’s head, Jacob, being suppressed one-sidedly, Fang Xingjian still didn’t show up.

“Even after over 50% of the Holy Light Clan’s wealth was transported to Sun City, Fang Xingjian still hasn’t shown up.”
