Chapter 13703 You are just as stupid
Qin Xianglan's cheeks flushed slightly, not knowing whether it was because she was angry or because she was a little overwhelmed by Ling Xiao's words. At this moment, the air around them seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly became a little weird, making people feel uncomfortable.

On the side, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could no longer hold back when he saw this scene, and suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was hearty and heroic, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Brother Ling, please stop joking. This Miss Qin is a lady from a respectable family! She comes from a prestigious family, has strict family education, and behaves in a dignified and proper manner." The prince explained with a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Ling Xiao, however, had no intention of restraining himself. He raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "I am also the eldest son of a respectable family! A real young master! The glory and heritage of my family cannot be underestimated." There was a hint of pride in his tone, as if he was announcing his identity and status to everyone.

The prince gave a helpless smile, secretly wondering how he could have met such a weird person. He shook his head and said, "Let's get down to business! Enough of the jokes, business is more important." There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait to get down to business.

Ling Xiao smiled, with a hint of ease in his smile, as if everything that had just happened was just an interesting game. "It would have been better if you did this earlier, but I don't know if it's Miss Qin's business or the Crown Prince's business?" He glanced back and forth between the Crown Prince and Qin Xianglan, trying to find some clues from their expressions.

The prince smiled, with a hint of mystery in his smile. "I have a very good relationship with Miss Qin, and our two families have always maintained close contacts. So this time I will just be the middleman, and Young Master Ling will talk to Miss Qin. I believe that both of you are smart people, and you will definitely reach a satisfactory result."

As he said this, he took a step back, made a gesture of invitation, and left the stage to Ling Xiao and Qin Xianglan.

Ling Xiao nodded, then turned his head and looked straight at Qin Xianglan, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity and expectation. "How do you plan to talk, Miss Qin? What do you plan to talk about?" His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the empty courtyard, as if launching a silent challenge to Qin Xianglan.

Qin Xianglan pursed her lips slightly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and then she sat down gracefully. She was upright, like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter, exuding a cool and noble aura.

After sitting down, she stared at Ling Xiao with a sharp gaze, as if her eyes could penetrate Ling Xiao's soul and explore the secrets deep in his heart.

"I won't beat around the bush with you," Qin Xianglan raised her chin slightly, with a hint of unquestionable toughness in her tone, "You can't protect that treasure, so why not give it to our Qin family? We can negotiate any conditions you want!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it seemed to carry a real sense of oppression, echoing in the empty courtyard, causing a subtle response.

The reason why she was so easy to talk to was definitely not intentional. In Qin Xianglan's heart, Ling Xiao's strength and cunningness had long made her wary. In the previous confrontations with Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao's endless tricks, as well as his calmness and courage in the face of crises, all left a very deep impression on her.

She knew very well that if she tried to forcibly seize the treasure, with Ling Xiao's ability, her side might not be able to gain an advantage, and might even end up with nothing. Moreover, this was the imperial city of Dazhen, and the forces of all parties were complicated, especially the Holy Hall, which was always watching every little movement in secret.

Once a fight breaks out in this imperial city, it will trigger the intervention of various forces, and it is very likely that it will eventually become a wedding dress for others. Qin Xianglan is very smart and is unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the Demon Tower and the Righteous Hall.

In the past, the Demon Tower and the Righteousness Hall started a bloody storm in the Dazhen Dynasty in order to fight for a treasure. Both sides fought to the death, but unexpectedly, they were both destroyed in the end and became the laughing stock of the Dazhen Dynasty.

How could Qin Xianglan not remember such a lesson? She was not so stupid as to do such a foolish thing that would harm others and herself.

After hearing Qin Xianglan's words, Ling Xiao turned his head slowly and fixed his eyes on her indifferently. His eyes were like a calm lake without any ripples.

Immediately, he shook his head slightly, and although the movement was light, it seemed to carry an indescribable meaning. "Do you know what happened to the Holy Envoy Zhuxue of the Holy Temple?" He asked in a low and calm voice, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

"I've heard of him, he's just an idiot!" Qin Xianglan wrinkled her nose slightly, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and her tone was full of contempt. In her opinion, Zhuxue's actions were extremely stupid. For his own selfish interests, he used all means to achieve his miserable end. He really brought it upon himself.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"In my opinion, you and your family are as stupid as Zhuxue," his eyes became sharp, staring into Qin Xianglan's eyes, and said word by word, "You don't even know what the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword means, and you dare to come and rob it?"

His voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Qin Xianglan's heart hard.

Qin Xianglan's face suddenly became gloomy. She bit her lower lip, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. "We naturally know what it is," she straightened her back, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone, "It is the sword of the leader of the Demon Sect who once controlled the Bai Ze Continent. It is a treasure under the four great treasures of the Demon Sect, and it is also one of the famous swords in the entire Bai Ze Continent!"

As she spoke, she unconsciously raised her voice, as if to prove to Ling Xiao that she was not completely ignorant.

"That's all?" Ling Xiao sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his sigh. "Is it really worth it to gamble the fate of the entire family for a treasure whose details are completely unknown?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of worry, as if he was worried about the future of the Qin family.

"What do you mean?" Qin Xianglan frowned, her eyes full of confusion. She looked at Ling Xiao, trying to find the answer from his expression. In her heart, the reputation of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword was well-known. Owning such a magic sword would undoubtedly make the Qin family's strength reach a higher level, but Ling Xiao's words made her feel confused.

Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. "I now have the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, do you think I am invincible?" He asked softly, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

"No!" Qin Xianglan answered without hesitation. In her eyes, although Ling Xiao was powerful, he was still far from being invincible. There were so many masters and strong men in the Dazhen Dynasty that no one dared to claim to be invincible.
