The three of them walked all the way to the dining hall in silence.

The food has been laid out in the dining hall, and the aroma is mouth-watering.

However, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

When Xiao Yunqi saw the three people coming in, he quickly stood up to greet them. His eyes swept over the three people and he couldn't help feeling a little confused.

He noticed that something seemed to be wrong between the three people, but he didn't know the specific reason, so he pretended not to know and warmly invited them to take a seat.

"Everyone, please come and take a seat. These dishes are the specialties of our Liuyun Sect. I hope they suit your taste." Xiao Yunqi said with a smile.

The three of them sat down one by one, with Li Wanji sitting in the middle, Tu Shanyi on the left, and Wen Daochen on the right.

After the three of them took their seats, the atmosphere eased a little.

Xiao Yunqi personally poured wine for them with a warm smile on his face, trying to ease the weird atmosphere.

"Come on, everyone, I'll toast you all. Thank you for believing in the strength of my Liuyun Sect and choosing to purchase bulk supplies from my Liuyun Market." Xiao Yunqi said, raising his glass.

Although there were some unpleasantness just now, they still had to maintain some courtesy in front of Xiao Yunqi. The three of them raised their glasses and drank with Xiao Yunqi.

"I, Xiao, would like to venture to guess that the supplies you purchased are for military use?" Xiao Yunqi put down his wine glass and his eyes moved across the faces of the three people, as if he wanted to see something from their expressions.

Wen Daochen raised his eyebrows slightly, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "Young Master Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Yunqi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wen, don't be nervous. I am just guessing. After all, apart from the army, it seems that no other forces need such a large-scale purchase."

Wen Daochen nodded without comment and said nothing more.

Tu Shanyi and Li Wanji did not speak either. They knew that they did not have much experience in dealing with such situations, so it was better to say less at this time.

Xiao Yunqi said: "Although my Liuyun Sect is only a second-rate force, it is also well-known in Xisha (the sandbar in the Western Regions). If you need it, my Liuyun Sect may be able to provide some help."

It was obvious that Xiao Yunqi had already seen through the identities of these people and wanted to take the opportunity to show goodwill.

Now that the Wangchuan Alliance is trying its best to fight against Youdu Mountain, it is in need of allies. Xiao Yunqi's words undoubtedly made Wen Daochen and others a little excited.

Moreover, Liuyun Sect is in charge of Liuyun Market, which is one of the largest material trading places in the Great Wilderness. It is crowded with people and well-informed. If they can get help from Liuyun Sect, it will undoubtedly be a great help to them.

Wen Daochen thought this in his heart, but his face did not show it. He smiled faintly and said, "Liuyun Sect has always only been engaged in business and not involved in power struggles. Master Xiao's words are a bit surprising to me."

Xiao Yunqi heard this, but his smile remained unchanged, and he said, "Brother Wen, you are wrong. Although our Liuyun Sect is mainly engaged in business, in this chaotic world, who can stay out of trouble?"

"What's more, the Wangchuan League is famous and is the backbone of the righteous path. If my Liuyun Sect can establish a good relationship with the Wangchuan League, it will naturally be a good thing."

Wen Daochen nodded slightly and said, "Young Master Xiao's words make sense. However, my Wangchuan League is now in the midst of a fierce battle with Youdu Mountain. The situation is changing rapidly, and we cannot guarantee that we can bring any benefits to Liuyun Sect."

Xiao Yunqi smiled and said, "Brother Wen, you worry too much. What my Liuyun Sect wants is just an opportunity to make friends with Wangchuan League. As for the rest, it depends on fate."

Wen Daochen was quite impressed by Xiao Yunqi's frank attitude when he heard this. He knew very well that in this chaotic world, there were no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Attracting more allies for the Wangchuan Alliance is also one of the tasks of each city stronghold.

Thinking of this, Wen Daochen put down his wine glass and said seriously, "Since Young Master Xiao is so frank, I won't beat around the bush. My Wangchuan League really needs an ally like Liuyun Sect. I wonder what Young Master Xiao thinks?"

Xiao Yunqi was secretly delighted to see Wen Daochen being so direct. He had long seen that Wen Daochen was the leader among the three, and now that he took the initiative to propose an alliance, it was natural for him to go with the flow.

"Brother Wen is a man of quick words, Xiao admires you. To be honest, although my Liuyun Sect is located in a remote area, we have accumulated a lot of wealth and resources over the years. If Wangchuan League needs it, my Liuyun Sect is willing to help."

When Wen Daochen heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He knew that what Xiao Yunqi said was not empty talk. As one of the largest material trading places in the Great Wilderness, the wealth and resources of Liuyun Sect were abundant enough to attract any force.

Wen Daochen knew very well that the alliance between Wangchuan League and Liuyun Sect was not something that could be achieved overnight. It required in-depth understanding, full trust, and sufficient sincerity from both sides.

He smiled and said, "I have already sensed Young Master Xiao's sincerity. However, the matter of forming an alliance is no small matter, and we need to discuss it with the top leaders of the Wangchuan League before we can make a decision."

Xiao Yunqi was not discouraged when he heard this. He knew that Wen Daochen was just saying this for show. He nodded and said, "Of course. I will wait for good news from Wangchuan League."

As he spoke, he raised his glass to signal to Wen Daochen and the others that they had reached a preliminary consensus.

Although Li Wanji couldn't get a word in, fortunately, all the people who were dining with her were handsome men, which was really pleasing to the eyes, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

She found Wen Daochen's jealous look before a little funny, but now that he has calmed down, he has regained some of his gentlemanly demeanor.

Sure enough, when a man gets serious, he is extremely charming. Thinking of this, Li Wanji couldn't help but smile.

Then, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Xiao Yunqi.

Xiao Yunqi's true identity is Bai Ze, and it is said that Bai Ze's appearance is unparalleled in the world. When Li Wanji first met Xiao Yunqi, she was already impressed by his demeanor.

Compared with the golden armor yesterday, today he wore a white, wide-sleeved robe with a front opening and a jade belt of the same color around his waist, which made him look tall and graceful.

There was a heroic look between his brows, a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, and a calm and composed demeanor in his every move.

Li Wanji sighed inwardly, no wonder the young master of Liuyun Sect could run Liuyun Market so prosperously in such a chaotic world, such style and bearing were definitely not something that could be found in ordinary people.

Just as she was secretly admiring it, she felt a pair of eyes falling on her. She looked up and met Xiao Yunqi's smiling eyes.

"Miss Li seems to be quite interested in the dish in front of me." Xiao Yunqi said with a smile, and as he spoke, he pointed to the dish in front of him.

Li Wanji came to her senses and found that she had been staring at Xiao Yunqi. Now that she was exposed, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she lowered her head and said quickly: "Young Master Xiao misunderstood, I just thought the color of this dish was tempting, so I looked at it a few more times."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunqi laughed and said, "Miss Li is really a straightforward person. In that case, how about I give this dish to Miss Li to taste?"

As he spoke, he beckoned a servant over and brought the dish to Li Wanji.
