Yuan Shu's proposal indeed tempted Ye Xunhuan, but temptation aside, Ye Xunhuan didn't believe that there were free lunches in this world.

Moreover, after killing so many people from Shu Mountain, could they truly reconcile with him?

Furthermore, if he used Shu Mountain's Swordsmanship in the Black List Competition, he might be branded with the Shu Mountain label, right?

No matter where he went, others might often regard him as a person from Shu Mountain, right?

Being labeled with Shu Mountain is minor, but what if Shu Mountain turns against him? Ye Xunhuan would have nowhere to cry.

Ye Xunhuan wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't give others a reason to rebuke him!

Although he already predicted that there was a good chance Ye Xunhuan would refuse, hearing the words from Ye Xunhuan himself still made Yuan Shu's face stiffen.

"Ye Xunhuan, this is a win-win situation; it's beneficial for both you and us. I hope you can think it over!" Feng Ya immediately said: "Don't make a decision blindly!"

"There's nothing to consider!" Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation, "I will not join forces with anyone, nor will I assist anyone!"

Ye Xunhuan's attitude was exceedingly firm, leaving no room for negotiation or maneuver.

At this moment, Lin Zhetian, who stood behind Feng Ya and Yuan Shu, suddenly spoke coldly, "Ye Xunhuan, don't forget, you are also Huaxia; what flows in you is the blood of Huaxia people. This is a national glory; every Huaxia person should know to take pride in their nation, to fight for their country..."

Lin Zhetian's words were not only solemn, but also powerful, as if all the righteousness was on his side.

As Lin Zhetian's solemn words echoed in his ear, Ye Xunhuan's face showed nothing but disdain and indifference.

Once, Ye Xunhuan always fought for this country, but what did he get in the end?

Betrayed, his brothers and master died miserably one by one!

Now Lin Zhetian talks to him about justice and honor?

In Ye Xunhuan's view, it was utterly laughable.

But when the country truly fell into peril and needed him, he would still step forward.

However, at that moment, he wouldn't fight for the country; he would fight for the millions of people, for the innocent lives!

"Who are you to dictate my actions?" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "Or is the lesson from last time not enough, and you want to try again?"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Lin Zhetian's expression turned cold: "You…"

"What, are you unconvinced?" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Lin Zhetian's words directly, speaking coldly.

Looking at Ye Xunhuan's face, which was full of coldness, Lin Zhetian's expression changed unpredictably, and his fists clenched tightly at this moment, as if about to explode into violence.

Just then, Feng Ya hurriedly said, "Ye Xunhuan, Zhetian didn't mean anything by it. He just wanted you to represent Huaxia in the Black List Competition!"

"Perhaps his approach was inappropriate, but please don't take it to heart!"

This was Olivia's residence, and if they provoked Ye Xunhuan and he attacked Lin Zhetian, Lin Zhetian would at least be skinned alive even if he didn't die, making him unviable for the Black List Competition. And if a fight broke out, would Olivia sit idly by?

If Ye Xunhuan and Olivia teamed up, Feng Ya did not believe that she and Yuan Shu could hold them off.

They might not even be able to hold off Olivia alone.

Thus, Feng Ya absolutely did not want any disputes here.

Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly, "If I wanted to take action, he would already be a cripple."

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Feng Ya and Yuan Shu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and the heart they had been holding up in their throats slowly settled back into their stomachs.

"Just bring a person next time, rather than a dog in human skin!"

Lin Zhetian's expression suddenly changed.

Ye Xunhuan's words were full of insult, outright calling Lin Zhetian a dog.

This filled Lin Zhetian's heart with an immediate surge of malice and anger: "Ye Xunhuan, you…"

"Enough!" Yuan Shu suddenly interjected with a stern voice, glaring at Lin Zhetian: "I brought you along, but not to cause trouble!"

Yelled at by Yuan Shu, Lin Zhetian swallowed the words he was about to say, though his murderous gaze continuously flitted across Ye Xunhuan.

Seeing Lin Zhetian shut his mouth, Yuan Shu immediately turned away, looking at Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, saying, "Blood Phoenix, Ye Xunhuan, we won't disturb you any longer!"

With that, Yuan Shu gestured to get up.

It wasn't that Yuan Shu didn't want to continue talking with Ye Xunhuan, but at the moment, the entire villa was full of an atmosphere of heightened tension.

To prevent Ye Xunhuan and Lin Zhetian from coming to blows, leaving now was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

"Take care, don't see you off!" Olivia showed no intention of getting up.

Yuan Shu and Feng Ya didn't say more, taking Lin Zhetian and turning to leave.

However, when reaching the door, Yuan Shu's steps faltered slightly, turning to Ye Xunhuan once more and saying, "Ye Xunhuan, I hope you'll seriously consider my proposal, and the stuff I gave you last time is absolutely real!"

With that, Yuan Shu didn't pause any longer and turned to leave.

After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Ye Xunhuan's expression slightly changed.

Olivia noticed the slight change on Ye Xunhuan's face and couldn't help but ask, "What did he give you?"

"Nothing much!" Ye Xunhuan exhaled a mouthful of stuffiness, responding somewhat absentmindedly, yet couldn't help recalling that document Yuan Shu had given him in the past.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's absent-minded look, Olivia didn't ask further.

Once Yuan Shu and Feng Ya led Lin Zhetian out of the villa, Yuan Shu's face turned somber as he looked at Lin Zhetian: "Lin Zhetian, are you trying to rebel against me?"

Startled by Yuan Shu's words, Lin Zhetian's expression slightly shifted: "Master Uncle, I…"

"I didn't plan to bring you here initially; you pestered me into coming, and you assured me you wouldn't provoke Ye Xunhuan!" Yuan Shu said coldly: "Is this the assurance you gave me?"

Lin Zhetian kept silent.

Before, when Yuan Shu and Feng Ya wanted to see Ye Xunhuan, indeed they didn't plan to bring him along; it was his insistence that brought him here.

"Remember, Ye Xunhuan is not someone you can provoke now," Yuan Shu coldly warned, "If you want to die, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Seeing this, Feng Ya spoke softly, "Alright, Yuan Shu, you also know Zhetian's situation. It wasn't easy for him not to act immediately facing Ye Xunhuan, so don't scold him anymore!"

"However, Zhetian, your uncle is right, don't provoke Ye Xunhuan here. This is Europe; he is the Marshal, his kingdom is here, and his people are here. We have no capital to contend with him!"

Hearing Feng Ya's words, Lin Zhetian took a deep breath, reluctantly saying, "Master Uncle, I'm sorry, there won't be a next time!"

Although he said this, deep in Lin Zhetian's eyes were a thick layer of killing intent!
