Oscar, the ever-changing god king of Douluo

Chapter 273 Calculation and shrewdness

Seeing Oscar's unmoved look, Xu Kun hesitated for a while and then took out a brocade box.

In front of everyone, Xu Kun directly opened the brocade box, revealing a crystal clear soul bone.

When Xue Qingluan saw this soul bone, her eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

Oscar looked at Xu Kun meaningfully. The two elders beside him had closed their eyes again and rested, as if they did not take this soul bone seriously.

Xu Kun held up the soul bone and said to Oscar solemnly, "Young Sect Master is a man with vision. This is a 15,000-year-old right arm soul bone. We want to use it as a gift to marry the Great Elder. This soul bone is our dowry to Qingluan. What do you think, Young Sect Master?"

Before Oscar could answer, Xue Qingluan stood up from her seat and said, "Why, you tried to bribe me when intimidation failed? A ten thousand year soul bone is the foundation of the sect. As far as I know, there are only two soul bones in the sect, right? You just took them out like that?"

Xu Kun sighed: "Compared with Que'er, this piece of soul bone is nothing? As long as he can inherit the position of the sect master in the future, there will be more than enough!"

Seeing that Xu Kun was no longer hiding anything, Xue Qingluan was so angry that she laughed: "Brother-in-law, why have you become like this now? Not only did you sacrifice a soul bone for Xu Que, but you are also unwilling to let Bing'er go?"

"There are so many women in the world, can't you just buy a slave?"

Xu Kun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then glared at Xue Qingluan: "Qingluan, what are you talking about? Don't you know the effect of the sect's secret method? If an ordinary woman can do it, why do I need to go through so much trouble? What's more, Que'er said that he would not marry anyone other than Shui Bing'er in this life, so I have no choice!"

Afterwards, Xu Kun stopped looking at Xue Qingluan and said to Oscar, "Young Sect Master, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I will offer this soul bone to you with both hands. In addition, if the future battle for the throne is successful, Xuanming Sect will be the eternal ally of Jian Sect. What do you think?"

Hearing Xu Kun's words, if it were for ordinary people, it would indeed be a huge temptation, but for Oscar, it was just a mere 15,000-year soul bone. How could it be comparable to the genius Shui Binger?
Did anyone really think that Oscar came just for Master's Wife? It was indeed for Xue Qingluan, but Oscar came in person, in addition to supporting Master's Wife, another purpose was Shui Bing'er.

After such a thing happened, Shui Binger naturally would not be able to enter Xuanming Sect in the future, so Shui Binger would definitely not stay in the academy in the future.

So this is the best time to invite her to join the sect, and you can also promise to protect her safety.

If a genius like Shui Bing'er grows up and has enough resources, she will definitely be able to break through to the Titled Douluo in the future.

Investing in a Titled Douluo in advance is much more valuable than a soul bone that is more than 10,000 years old.

Oscar will definitely not stay in Douluo Continent in the future, so the power he left behind must have successors. The direct descendants of the four single-attribute clans, Shui Binger and others are all his targets.

Of course, if there are those who are talented enough or have inherited the power of gods, Oscar will also increase his training efforts.

Shui Bing'er's talents and attributes make her suitable for a god, but that's a story for later.

Faced with the conditions proposed by Xu Kun, before Oscar said anything, Xue Qingluan became a little restless. This was the situation she was most worried about.

Although Gai Yue is the grand elder of the Sword Sect, he is not the sect master after all. Matters like this that involve interests cannot be decided by one person alone.

The value and temptation of soul bones are self-evident, not to mention that the other party has also offered the sect as a guarantee?
A young man from a hermit sect may not sound like much at first, but once he appears in the world, he will become a rare force.

However, Oscar just smiled and said, "Senior, your conditions are indeed generous, but have you ever considered a question?"

Xu Kun was slightly stunned, somewhat confused.

Oscar's smile widened a little, and he stepped forward to take the brocade box from Xu Kun's hand.

Xu Kun was slightly stunned, not knowing what Oscar meant. But since the other party chose the soul bone, did it mean that the other party agreed to his conditions?

Xue Qingluan's face darkened when she saw this scene, but she didn't know how to start.

The two elders remained motionless like old monks sitting still, as if they didn't care about anything.

However, Oscar's words made Xu Kun look extremely ugly the next moment: "If I take away your soul bones and imprison you two forever, how will your clan react?"

Hearing this, Xu Kun and Xue Qingfeng's faces turned very ugly. Before they could say anything, Oscar's voice rang out.

"I think your sect will definitely not confront my Sword Sect head-on for the sake of the two seniors, right? As long as I believe that you have returned, your sect will most likely end up letting the matter go."

"What's more, Senior is eyeing the position of the Sect Master. I don't believe that your Sect Master doesn't know anything about it?"

Oscar spoke slowly, seemingly not caring about Xu Kun's counterattack. He just calmly closed the brocade box and looked at Xue Qingluan: "What do you think, Master's wife?"

Xue Qingluan just opened her mouth, but for a moment, no words came out.

She thought of many possibilities, but she never thought that the young sect master would say this, let alone that the young sect master would be so ruthless in doing things?

Oscar smiled at Xue Qingluan and said, "This way, the two seniors can always accompany Master's Wife. When the time comes, after sealing their soul powers, I think they won't be able to cause any trouble in front of Master's Wife."

Xue Qingfeng finally couldn't help it: "You! Boy, your Sword Sect is so famous, but you actually want to do such a despicable thing! Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

This time, Xu Kun did not stop his wife. On the contrary, the energy in his heart was ten times stronger than Xue Qingfeng's.

Being able to become the grand elder of a sect and even dare to covet the position of the sect master, how could such a person be a good person?
Facing Xue Qingfeng's anger, Oscar still smiled: "Who knows? Everyone in the world only knows that my Sword Sect came here to get engaged and propose marriage. No one would know that there is a hermit sect related to this matter."

Hearing this, Xu Kun's hands began to tremble. Just as Oscar said, if they were really detained here today, the sect leader might not show up.

After all, not only are they a hermit sect, but without the control of their great elder, would their subordinates scatter like monkeys when the tree falls?

His two sons had average talents. Although Xu Que's talent was rare, he did have bad conduct...

Xu Kun didn't dare to think any further. He suppressed his anger bit by bit and forced a smile on his face: "Young Sect Master, you are joking. Since the Sword Sect doesn't think highly of our Xuanming Sect, we won't try to get close to them."

"This soul bone will be regarded as a dowry for Qingluan, and we will not mention Shui Bing'er's matter again. What do you think?"

Oscar's smile faded, he looked up, and his voice became calmer: "Senior, have you thought it through?"

Xu Kun almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Think it through."

Oscar pressed on: "You won't regret it?"

Xu Kun immediately grabbed Xue Qingfeng who was about to explode: "No regrets."

"Haha, in that case, I would like to thank the two seniors for taking the trouble to send me this gift." Oscar turned to Xue Qingluan and handed her the brocade box. "Master's Wife, you heard me. This is the dowry given to you by the two seniors. It should be given to you for safekeeping."

Xue Qingluan showed an embarrassed look on her face. She looked at Oscar's harmless smile and reached out to take the brocade box.

"Young Sect Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" Xue Qingluan hesitated.

Oscar still smiled: "Master's wife, please be polite. Just call me Little Ao."

"As for what's inappropriate, Master's wife can't let down your sister and brother-in-law, right? After all, they said it themselves, and I didn't force them." Upon hearing this, Xue Qingluan's face became strange. Although the other party were her sister and brother-in-law, in this matter, she didn't have the slightest sympathy for their experience. Instead, she felt a little happy.

As for Xu Kun and Xue Qingfeng, they wanted to tear Oscar into pieces when they heard these words, but there were two Titled Douluo sitting beside them, so they dared not say anything!

In addition, the fact that the two elders were sitting there and did not stop Oscar's actions at all showed that they had already acquiesced.

If Xu Kun dared to make any other moves at this moment, they might really be detained today as Oscar said.

For Xue Qingluan's sake, the couple might not be in danger of their lives, but their second half of life would be doomed to be difficult.

Xu Kun did not refute anything, because this is the law of survival in this world. People who have power and strength can be so domineering.

No one would even say that they were being overbearing, they would just think that Xu Kun and the others were wrong.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, fists are the way. Truth lies only within the edge of the sword.

Oscar turned around and looked at Xu Kun and the others: "Since the gifts from the two seniors have been delivered, I will not send them off any further."

"Oh, by the way, please ask the two seniors to tell your sect master that if the Xuanming Sect is interested in coming out, the Sword Sect is willing to provide assistance. Your sect is welcome to do whatever it can."

When Xu Kun heard Oscar's words, he felt relieved, but when he heard the second sentence, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Not only did I fail to reach an agreement on this trip, but I also lost a soul bone in vain?
That would have been fine, but Oscar's words before he left almost cut off his chance of revenge.

What will he say to the sect leader then?
Discredit the Sword Sect? On the surface, it is possible. Once the Sword Sect contacts the Sect Master, today's incident will be exposed. When the Sword Sect shows goodwill to the Sect Master, will the Sect Master believe what he says?

There was no trace of smile on Xu Kun's face anymore. He shook his sleeves, pulled Xue Qingfeng and left.

As soon as the two opened the door, Xue Qingfeng turned to look at Xue Qingluan: "Since you don't care about the decades of sisterhood, in the future..."

Before Xue Qingfeng could finish her words, Xu Kun violently pulled her away without saying a word.

However, even if Xue Qingfeng did not say the second half of the sentence, how could Xue Qingluan not know it?
My sister married Xu Kun early on. Although her marriage is happy, she is simple-minded and a kind person, but she easily falls into misunderstandings.

Xue Qingluan wanted to explain, but couldn't utter a word.

Oscar watched Xu Kun and the other two leave, then slowly came to Xue Qingluan and squatted down: "Master's Wife, did I do something wrong?"

Xue Qingluan glanced at Oscar, revealed a bitter smile, and shook her head: "You are right, and my sister and the others are not wrong either. The one who is wrong is that little bastard."

After a pause, Xue Qingluan looked at the brocade box in her hand and said, "It's just that you really shouldn't have come with this soul bone. I'm already sorry to my sister about this matter, and you still..."

Oscar smiled and said, "This soul bone is for you. I don't care how you deal with it."

Xue Qingluan is a smart person. Oscar's words show that he will not embezzle this soul bone, which means that Xue Qingluan can return the soul bone at any time in her own name.

This will undoubtedly give my sister and the others a way out. After this period of time, the other party will have calmed down and they won't be embarrassed later.

But Xue Qingluan was even more surprised. This was a soul bone, and a ten thousand year soul bone at that. Not only was this young man not greedy, but he was thinking about his master's wife who had not even married him from the very beginning?
Of course she had heard of Oscar's deeds, and she had already had high expectations for this gifted child. However, she never expected that when she met him today, Oscar gave her the impression that he was hardly a child.

If Xue Qingluan were in Oscar's position, she might not be able to do it as perfectly as possible, right?

Is this really a child who is only seventeen years old?

Is this the heir of the great sect? Being able to cultivate an heir like Oscar, it is no wonder that the Sword Sect can become famous in the continent in just a few years.

Thinking of that little bastard Xu Que, and then looking at the handsome young man in front of her, if the other party was the same as Oscar, how could she be like this?

Xue Qingluan finally just smiled bitterly: "Xiao Ao, thank you."

Oscar stood up and filled Xue Qingluan's cup of tea: "Don't say that, the teacher told me before I came here, if I don't do it well and make his life difficult in the future, I will have a hard time when I go back.

Hearing these words, the corners of the two elders' mouths slightly raised.

Xue Qingluan couldn't help but pat Oscar lightly when she heard the youngster's joke: "Although I haven't married yet, you already call me Master's Wife. How dare you tease Master's Wife?"

Oscar did not try to hide. Anyway, the mistress did not really beat him like Teacher Gai Yue did. She just smiled and said, "The student will not dare to do that again. You are not allowed to tell the teacher about it."

Hearing this, Xue Qingluan deliberately glared at Oscar: "You said you didn't dare! You didn't pretend to be so majestic just now, did you? Why are you so naughty when people leave?"

Oscar chuckled and said, "Stop teasing my master's wife and get down to business."

Xue Qingluan regained her composure at this point, and after hesitating for a moment, she put the brocade box into the soul guide.

Oscar gave her the power to choose and thought of ways to ease the relationship, so she had no reason to refuse.

After all, he was the only relative she had in the world, and she couldn't just cut off the relationship.

"Tell me, what else do you have to do?"

Oscar returned to his seat and took a sip of tea: "Your apprentice's matter."

Xue Qingluan's eyebrows jumped: "Why, you want to be with Bing'er..."

"Ahem!" Before Xue Qingluan could continue, Oscar sprayed out the water he had just sipped.

"Master's wife, please don't misunderstand me. What I mean is that since this has happened, wouldn't it be a bad idea for her to continue staying? The Sword Sect is full of talented people and has a large family and a large business. It doesn't matter if there is one more bowl of rice to eat."

Seeing Oscar's expression, Xue Qingluan couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm just kidding, but you want to take away a beautiful girl with such potential with just a few words. Why should I agree to you?"

Oscar stared at Xue Qingluan blankly. You weren't so smart just now. Why are you so smart now...

Xue Qingluan picked up the teacup elegantly: "I'm not a fool, do you still want to get something for nothing from me?"

Oscar thought for a moment and said, "This is called keeping the wealth within the family. You are my master's wife, and then you will be the wife of the Sword Sect's Grand Elder. Isn't it normal for your disciples to practice in the Sword Sect?"

Xue Qingluan put down her teacup: "I'll go ask Bing'er."
