I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

"What talent?" Mann asked, puzzled.

Tang Xueluan and Shen Zongdao also looked at Xiaoyao. Although the shadow and others in the distance didn't seem to be paying attention, Mann felt that they seemed to be secretly listening to the conversation between Xiaoyao and him.

Xiaoyao smiled and said:

"It's naturally the talent for cultivation. It's a pity that the spiritual energy here is thin. If you were born in our cultivation world, I think those famous sects would definitely be fighting to take you as a disciple. Even if you were a rogue cultivator with your aptitude, you would definitely be able to break through to the Golden Core stage as long as you survived.

"And if you really joined a famous sect and were fortunate enough to be taught by a celestial master, then you would have the hope of achieving the Nascent Soul Transformation God stage like me and gain ten thousand years of life. If you were to gain enlightenment, you might even be able to glimpse the half-immortal realm that is not bound by the five elements, and enjoy the method of immortality.

"It's a pity, so many unparalleled talents are born in this barren land, and can only spend a hundred years of short life like ordinary people, and it is difficult to touch the opportunity of enlightenment until death."

Saying this, he shook his head repeatedly, his expression and tone full of regret.

However, the other people present heard something different. Xiaoyao was almost directly dangling the so-called "immortality" opportunity in front of Mann, clearly "tempting" him.

You must know that he was saying that Mann missed the opportunity to advance to Tier V because he was born here and had no teacher to guide him, but in front of him was a powerful "immortal master" from the cultivation world who almost cultivated a Tier V disciple.

Xiaoyao was just short of saying "Become my disciple."

But the people who heard this actually felt a little strange. Whether it was Mann, Tang Xueluan, Shen Zongdao, or the shadow and Zhao Guanwu who were eavesdropping, they could all sense the oddity of the matter.

Mann had just killed his disciple, and even if the shadow smoothed things over, Xiaoyao shouldn't be so interested in Mann. Moreover, considering the eccentric personality of this Xiaoyao Daoist in the past, this was more like some kind of roundabout revenge.

It can't be that because Mann killed his disciple, he wants Mann to be his disciple, right?

Xiaoyao didn't give the others time to think, and then nodded slightly to him:

"After you take the Foundation Establishment Fake Pill, you can open up your meridians, which will be of some benefit to your close combat in the future. After all, at this level, it is not easy to improve further. As for the Essence Solidifying Pill, you can give it to your relatives and friends.

"Alright, I've finished making amends. You can decide where they go."

After speaking, he turned around and walked back to his original position, quite naturally rejoining Zhao Guanwu and the shadow's discussion. They also seemed to have completely ignored what had just happened and continued to discuss the negotiation matters.

Of course, the things they were actually discussing were much more important than what happened on Mann's side.

Shen Zongdao, who was left in place, seemed a little embarrassed at the moment. Now he obviously couldn't continue to say what he wanted to say, but he couldn't figure out what Xiaoyao's purpose was just now, and he couldn't react to it.

Seeing this, Tang Xueluan calmly smiled and asked him:

"Do you still want to talk about my sister? Or do you want to say that Mann is not a capable person worthy of our Federation's trust."

Shen Zongdao didn't know how to answer her question. Although he didn't know whether the pills just now were real or fake, if they were real, then the Federation would definitely want to get them from Mann's hands, and now they couldn't directly attack Mann.

That is to say, now he better not offend Mann.

Before Mann hands over the three "Essence Solidifying Pills", he will no longer be the capable person that he doesn't need to pay attention to at all, but a sweet pastry in the eyes of the entire Federation's politicians, and even if Mann is willing to spend time and energy arguing with them, he may even be able to dig out considerable benefits from the Federation.

Thinking of this, Shen Zongdao showed a polite smile:

"No, no, I was a little impulsive just now and said those angry words. After all, many of my young friends died in the battle with the Salvation Alliance, and as a protector of the Federation, I naturally cannot trust him.

"But what Daoist Xiaoyao said just now also makes sense. Now is not the time for us to quarrel. I didn't distinguish the occasion."

After saying this, he didn't give Tang Xueluan and Mann a chance to fight back. He smiled apologetically at them, turned around and took steps towards the direction he came from, and returned to his original position with steady steps.

Now is not a good time to have a conflict with them on the surface. At least he has to figure out what the value of the things in Mann's hands is, and if he still wants to target Tang Xueluan and Mann, he can't use the same reason as just now. Now he has to wait for a new opportunity again.

After all, although Mann has had good luck now, it doesn't mean that he really has the capital to make him afraid.

Tang Xueluan watched him return to his original position, and then whispered to Mann:

"Don't pay too much attention to him. These neo-liberal guys are just not compatible with us. He's just here to find trouble."

Mann replied quite calmly:

"Actually, I didn't pay much attention to him, but you just now..."

He was referring to Shen Zongdao using Shu Yun's death to stimulate Tang Xueluan.

She lowered her head slightly, and then said with a complicated expression:

"This is why I was originally unwilling to enter politics. They are all scoundrels without any bottom line, and they can always say the most disgusting and disgusting words with a straight face, but I was also a little失态 just now.

"After all, no matter what I say, I have returned to the Federation. It is my duty to remain calm in that kind of situation. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you can directly remind me."

Mann nodded slightly:

"Okay."

They didn't sit here for long. The shadow in the center also stood up and walked towards them without any concealment. At the same time, he greeted Mann and Tang Xueluan with his eyes, and then sat down directly in front of them.

"Sorry, I was busy with the negotiation just now." He nodded quite politely, and then went straight to the point, "We have completed the first negotiation with Shenxiao, and have successfully communicated the specific situation with her. We also put forward the most demanding and difficult negotiation conditions, and she firmly rejected our proposal as we expected.

"We have re-established a psychological analysis model for her in the past few days, and have carefully read the information you provided. With your help, we have indeed improved our analysis model for Shenxiao, but unfortunately it is of no use at all.

"Now Old Zhao is going to see her again, but I estimate that even he has no chance to obtain the conditions the Federation wants.

"Because even if we know what kind of person she is, it doesn't mean we have a way to persuade her. It's like even if I know what Shenxiao can do, I still have no way to defeat her."

While the shadow was speaking, Zhao Guanwu got up and walked towards the back door of the room. The old man's expression at this time was as solemn as a soldier going to an epic battle, and he didn't even know if he could come back alive.

Mann nodded slightly:

"After all, she is Shenxiao."

Tang Xueluan also said:

"This is why we are here. We can't take a hard line against Shenxiao. Ordinary conspiracies are useless against her. Only a soft knife like Mann is really likely to change her mind.

"Her kindness is the only thing we can focus on, because this is one of the few characteristics of her that is not directly equivalent to strength."

The shadow nodded, and then started talking to her:

"That's right..."

But almost at the same time he opened his mouth, his voice also sounded in Mann's mind:

'Did Shen Zongdao come to bother you just now?'

Mann replied with a definite tone using telepathy:

'Yes, he said a lot of words questioning me, but after Xiaoyao Daoist came over, all the words he had just said that were already somewhat successful were meaningless, and no longer had any impact on us.'

The shadow continued:

'He is indeed a very annoying guy, and he is also very good at playing this kind of stupid politician to make trouble, but I want to remind you that you better not underestimate this guy. Although he has some arrogance caused by his smooth career, he will not be restrained by it.

'He is not a fool like Shu Yun, but a genuine politician, but therefore you don't need to pay too much attention to his performance today. If he really wants to attack you, he will always smile at you and not reveal any hostility.

'And his deliberate behavior just now, on the contrary, shows that he actually doesn't want to do anything to you, but is dealing with Tang Xueluan and you who represent the Rongbang faction, wanting to seek benefits for himself. As long as this matter passes, he will no longer come to you for trouble.

'And out of the arrogance that is deeply rooted in the bones of politicians, if it weren't for Xiaoyao's involvement, he might not even put you in his eyes. I'm not saying that he can look down on you, but your existence probably won't affect his career at all. The Federation, this behemoth, provides these politicians with almost perfect protection, which is also to allow them to restrain us capable people.

'So if there is no compelling reason, I don't recommend that you directly stand on the opposite side of these politicians. You and I actually have the ability to influence their minds, but the Federation itself will not be happy to see this scene.

'Because if we can really deeply influence and interfere with the decisions of these politicians, it means that its "order" is collapsing in some way, and it will do everything possible to prevent this from becoming a reality.

'Although these politicians are just lucky, under the protection of the Federation, they do have the qualifications to compete with us. After all, although we capable people are stronger than the so-called politicians, the Federation itself is also stronger than us.

'And it is the one who makes the rules.'

Mann said using telepathy to the shadow who was still talking to Tang Xueluan:

'Don't worry, they are not worth paying attention to for me.'

The shadow smiled in his heart and said:

'That's right, this is the mentality that capable people in the Federation should have. Before I asked you to do that, I actually went to Shu Yun myself and politely asked her to stop this plan, but she arrogantly refused me at that time, and didn't put me, a Tier V capable person, in her eyes at all, just like Shen Zongdao today.

'But you and I both know what the ending of her doing so is.'

Mann could vaguely feel that the shadow's words had a deeper meaning, but he changed the topic back as if he hadn't heard it at all:

'But you also said that Shen Zongdao is smarter than her.'

The shadow replied:

'That's right, so he won't be as stubborn as Shu Yun. As long as you make him feel the danger, these timid politicians will immediately choose to protect themselves and never appear in front of you again. This is also how I have interacted with them in the past.

'They are very greedy and arrogant, so they are also easy to predict and guide. As long as you are willing to patiently contact them, I think you will soon master the correct way to get along with them.'

Mann said modestly:

'I will try to learn to contact them.'

After imparting his experience, the shadow slowly got to the point:

'By the way, Xiaoyao gave you some pills just now, right?'

Mann replied:

'That's right, he said there are three Essence Solidifying Pills that can prolong life, and a Foundation Establishment Fake Pill that I don't quite understand.'

The shadow reminded quite "kindly":

'I have to remind you that the Xiaoyao is not like he said that he would really make amends for the death of his disciple, and when I went to him to smooth things over, he didn't show any guilt for his disciple wanting to kill people.

'I can be sure that this guy definitely has ulterior motives. You have to be careful that these pills may be something he uses to take revenge. They may contain unimaginable poisons or curses, and he is also a Tier V capable person who masters various strange technologies.

'If his insidious tricks take effect, even the Federation may not have a way to cure you, and may not even be able to prove that he did it.'

Mann asked knowingly:

'So what do you mean?'

The shadow introduced along this sentence:

'Although this thing may be very dangerous for you, it has completely different value for the Federation's research institute, so if you are willing, you can hand over these cursed poisonous pills to us and let us handle it for you.

'Of course, the Federation will definitely give you a reasonable price. I believe that the things they give you will be more useful to you than pills.'

Mann replied:

'That's a good suggestion. I think what you want more should be the three Essence Solidifying Pills, right.'

The shadow agreed:

'That's right, I hope you don't use these pills yourself before you talk to them about this matter.'

Mann asked:

'Do you think the Federation is willing to use anti-spiritual metal to exchange for these things?'

The shadow hesitated and replied:

'I think this is a bit difficult. Their value is still far from being comparable to Shenxiao's conditions. After all, these pills shouldn't be that easy to crack, unless you can get some more core things, otherwise it's probably unlikely.

'But if you want to use my favor, I can try my best to fight for it for you. Considering the special nature of these things, it's not completely impossible to succeed, but I can't guarantee you anything.'

Mann thought for a while and then replied:

'Then let me think about it again.'

Mann asked:

'Let me consider it again.'
