Upon hearing Gu Chengkun say this, Wei Linming quickly added, "Master Xuan, actually, there's no need for things to be so tense between us."
"Think about it, collaborating with the Eight Great Powers and the Four Great Clans would only benefit you without any downsides. You could gain several backers, making anything you do in Star Sea a piece of cake with everyone's help, right?"
Although he was pleading and trying to curry favor with Liu Zixuan, his words still carried a tone of superiority from the Eight Great Powers and the Four Great Clans over Liu Zixuan.
Just that alone was enough to annoy Liu Zixuan!
Liu Zixuan coldly snorted, "Your meaning is that I, Liu Zixuan, can only stand in Star Sea by relying on your Eight Great Powers and Four Great Clans? Without you, I can't accomplish anything, is that it?"
"I…" Wei Linming was suddenly at a loss for words. He wanted to say yes, but didn't dare to be so blunt.
