Upon hearing Xiaobao's words, Tis' complexion relaxed; being able to negotiate is certainly the best outcome, as no one wants an unexpected life-and-death battle.
Especially against Xiaobao, Tis could sense an aura from him that even made Tis feel fear.
"The Council's friendship, isn't that sincerity enough? With the Council's friendship, you can do anything here smoothly. As long as the Council says the word, no one will dare to provoke you, and given my status as one of the decision-makers of the Council, what I say represents the Council's will." Tis revealed a faint, calm smile.
"It might have been that way before, but now I can see quite clearly that your Council is struggling itself, with internal troubles from the Dark World and persecution from the Church Court. If I were to ally with you, wouldn't I also be standing against the Anti-Dark Alliance and the Church Court? For such a risky situation, I think you, Lord Tis, should show more sincerity." Xiaobao grinned.
