Capítulo 1070: Chapter 1032 "Pleasant Cooperation" (Please Subscribe)_1
```
And upon hearing Xu Sheng's direct agreement, without even paying attention to her own words, her cheeks couldn't help but take on a few more hues of reproach…
Damnit, she had already said that the place was very dangerous, so why did he agree without even thinking!
However, in the same vein, she also realized that Xu Sheng's current demeanor was far more serious than ever, as if this matter was very important to him!
Of course, Zhou Qingruo was not the only one to notice this; Duanmu Lian, sitting beside her, also showed a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes upon observing Xu Sheng's expression…
Inwardly she wondered, "He agreed so readily, even demanding an entry spot as a condition, could it be that Xu Sheng lacks not only martial techniques but also has an extreme shortage of heavenly and earthly treasures?"
Thinking this, she couldn't help but shake her head…
How tragic, to be a strong practitioner of the Immortal Monarch Realm and still accept others' requests over such matters!
If he truly needed them, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly tell her?
When Duanmu Patriarch faced Xu Sheng, his face became serious upon hearing the former's words…
He narrowed his eyes and asked word by word, "May I know what you need the Xuanming Domain's entry slot for? If you seek high-grade spiritual weapons or heavenly and earthly treasures, our Duanmu Clan can reward you accordingly!"
From Xu Sheng's previous remarks, it was clear he was unaware of the Xuanming Domain, yet after the explanation, he now took the initiative to request an entry slot…
This truly gave rise to deep contemplation!
Perhaps, does this man know something secretive?
Xu Sheng certainly wasn't foolish enough to spill everything; he simply smiled and said, "Duanmu Patriarch, to be honest, I myself am greatly interested in places like secret realms, so hearing that the Xuanming Domain is so difficult to enter, I naturally became a bit eager…"
Duanmu Shuo scrutinized Xu Sheng's face closely and saw nothing out of the ordinary…
He then held his chin pensively and mused, "Is that so?"
The matter of the Xuanming Domain was not his alone to decide, and naturally, the allocation of entry slots needed to be discussed with the elders of the Duanmu Clan…
He then turned to the silent elders sitting around him and inquired, "Elders, what do you think?"
Duanmu Lian, sitting to the side, with a turn of her beautiful eyes, spoke up first, saying to Duanmu Shuo, "Family Head, I think we can accept this proposal. It would be very difficult for me alone to win against other families in the competition!"
"Moreover, Xu Sheng is a practitioner of the Immortal Monarch Realm just like me! This point alone is worth considering!"
Had the Duanmu Clan not been unable to find another elder of the Immortal Monarch Realm besides her, and had the situation not been so urgent, they would not have disclosed the matter to Xu Sheng, a foreigner.
This made Duanmu Shuo nod repeatedly, "Hmm, Lian'er makes a lot of sense"
But no sooner had he spoken than the elders of the Duanmu Clan began to object vehemently…
One of the elders spoke out coldly, "Family Head, I oppose! This matter is our clan's affair. Why should we entrust it to a foreigner, especially when the Xuanming Domain's slot is so precious!"
Another elder also spoke sharply, "That's right! I also feel we should not agree to this demand! The Xuanming Domain's slot should be given to our own Duanmu Clan members! How can we let a foreigner take it!"
"Family Head, you should also know his cultivation is at the Immortal Monarch Realm. Even if we achieve victory, while we know the face, we can't read the heart. If he harbors ill will towards our Duanmu Clan members inside the Xuanming Domain…"
After finishing, he cast a glance at Duanmu Qingruo, apparently insinuating something!
This man before them had ties with Duanmu Qingruo, who once betrayed the Duanmu Clan. It was uncertain if he would do something to their clan members behind the scenes for her sake!
Zhou Qingruo, hearing these words, naturally knew they were mocking her…
Her amber eyes suddenly filled with intense chill as she said coldly, "You keep saying you won't give Xu Sheng the entry slot to the Xuanming Domain, but without him, you wouldn't even have a chance to win!"
```
And after hearing this, the throats of the Duanmu Clan elders couldn't help but swallow…
After a long pause, the eldest among them spoke in a weary voice, "Even so, matters of our Duanmu Clan should not be interfered with by outsiders!"
Listening to their heated discussion, Xu Sheng only lightly pursed his thin lips, his expression unchanged…
Zhou Qingruo gritted her teeth and exclaimed, "You!!"
Seeing the atmosphere inside the grand hall become tense, Duanmu Shuo, as the Family Head, could hardly sit still and bellowed, "Enough!"
Instantly, the noisy chatter of the elders was swallowed down…
Zhou Qingruo also did her best to suppress her anger, glaring at them with irritation…
Observing this scene, Duanmu Lian silently sighed, unsure of what to say…
Duanmu Shuo's gaze returned to Xu Sheng, seriously said, "Sir, is there really no room for discussion regarding the quota? If your aim is some rare heaven and earth treasure, just tell me, and I will have our whole clan seek it out!"
The Xuanming Domain quota was immensely important to their Duanmu Clan, not just simply because of the rare items within!
Xu Sheng's dark eyes tightened, but he didn't answer the question, instead bestowing the other with a slight smile…
In an instant, Duanmu Shuo understood the meaning hidden behind that smile and, after weighing the matter carefully, said earnestly, "Fine! I agree! Should you help us emerge victorious in the confrontation with other clans, you shall have one quota!"
If they didn't agree to Xu Sheng's demand, just as his own daughter had said, they would not even have the chance to enter the Xuanming Domain!
In comparison, what did granting him a single quota really amount to!
With a smile, Xu Sheng extended his hand and said, "In that case, Duanmu Patriarch, I look forward to a pleasant collaboration!!"
Duanmu Shuo, suppressing his own emotions, laughed awkwardly and replied, "Pleasant... cooperation indeed!"
After speaking, he reached out and casually shook Xu Sheng's hand…
The elders of the Duanmu Clan, upon seeing Duanmu Shuo agree to this condition, clenched their fists tight…
Displeasure was apparent on every face…
An outsider, why should he occupy the quota for someone from their Duanmu Clan to enter the Xuanming Domain!!
Zhou Qingruo turned her head aside, pouting as she complained, "I really don't understand why Xu Sheng agreed to them!"
Was it really as simple as he said, just a fondness for entering secret realms?
That couldn't possibly be the case! When she had previously asked Xu Sheng to enter the secret realm and seize the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit, it was only after intimidation and offering him a heap of life-preserving treasures that he agreed!
So upon reflection…
It was very likely that he agreed to help the Duanmu Clan for her sake!
At this thought, a warm feeling couldn't help but emerge within her heart…
But if Xu Sheng knew of these thoughts in her heart, he would definitely wave his hand and deny it!
He was simply curious to know whether the Xuanming Domain had any connections to the path leading to the Douluo plane!
