Negotiations Between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan
This time, Ye Qing didn't make any more detours.
He calmly met Ah Yin's eyes full of shock, inquiry, and a hint of indescribable hope, and asked:
"What if?"
"Do you think that what I said to you before was just to tease you? Was it to... draw you an illusory pie that you will never be able to eat?"
Ye Qing's tone was calm, but every word Qian Jun struck Ah Yin's heart.
What he was referring to was, of course, the words he said in the Spirit Hall's courtyard when he hinted that he could help her achieve her goal.
Ah Yin was completely silent.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands folded on her knees, the knuckles of which were slightly white from exertion, and her mind was in confusion.
The inheritance of the gods...Sea God Island...Ye Qing's wisdom and methods that transcend age...
And the phrase "use me to achieve your goals..."
All the clues, all the anomalies, all the unbelievables, seemed to be connected in series at this moment, pointing to a possibility that she had never dared to think about before, but was secretly looking forward to in her heart!
Just when Ah Yin was in a state of excitement, falling into great shock and contemplation, next to him, Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been concentrating like a sculpture with his eyes closed and his breath calm, suddenly opened his eyes.
His sea-blue eyes, with a trace of suspicion, glanced at the silent Ah Yin opposite him, then looked at his young master, frowned, and asked angrily:
"Xiaoqing, what did you... say to her?"
Ye Qing, shouldn't he... expose Sea God Island's old background to this trophy?
Although this woman seems to be one of our own, her origin is unknown after all.
In addition, it is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so there are some core secrets, so it is best to be careful.
Ye Qing heard this, his expression remained unchanged and calm, as if he was just stating a trivial matter:
"I didn't say anything. Just some... ordinary things. For example, Sea God Island's customs, how is the food at the Spirit Hall, etc."
His words were perfunctory and almost blatant.
"Ordinary things?"
Sea Dragon Douluo's brows furrowed even more tightly, with an expression of "I believe you are a ghost" written all over his face, and he asked, "Are you sure? How do I feel... you are deceiving me again?"
Based on his understanding of Ye Qing, this kid has a deep mind and often has several hidden meanings in his words and actions.
The more you speak lightly, the greater the implications behind it.
Ye Qing faced Sea Dragon Douluo's unabashed suspicion, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
He spread his little hands and asked in a serious tone in his clear childlike voice:
"Of course. Uncle Sea Dragon, do you think... I am the kind of person who would fool you casually?"
He asked confidently and with sincerity in his eyes.
Sea Dragon Douluo looked at his God Child's innocent, how could I lie to you look, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He was silent for two seconds, and then, under the gazes of Ye Qing and Ah Yin, he nodded very seriously and firmly, and squeezed out one word from his throat:
"Yes."
The tone was decisive and left no room for doubt.
Ye Qing: "..."
He was immediately choked up by Sea Dragon Douluo's straightforward and shameless answer.
He rolled his eyes, turned his head, and looked out the window at the rapidly reversing scenery.
I chose to ignore this old man who was too upright in some aspects.
In the carriage, silence returned again.
It's just that in this silence, there is a touch of harmless embarrassment and warmth that belongs to one's own family.
Ah Yin saw this scene in his eyes, and had a more intuitive feeling in his heart about the seemingly superior-subordinate relationship between Ye Qing and Sea Dragon Douluo, but in fact it was filled with deep trust and intimacy.
This gave her an indescribable sense of curiosity and belonging towards Ye Qing and Sea God Island.
Perhaps, staying with this child will really be an unprecedented opportunity.
Just as the carriage of Ye Qing and his party was driving smoothly in the direction of Heaven Dou City.
On the other side, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the living room known for its luxury and elegance, a secret negotiation with a subtle and solemn atmosphere was also quietly taking place.
There were only four people participating in the negotiation, but they were enough to represent the highest will of the two sects in Upper Three Sects.
The master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, is dressed in white, elegant and gentle, holding a tea cup. He seems to be leisurely, but his eyes are shining with light of thought.
Beside him, on the left and right, were Sword Douluo Chen Xin with a stern face and an aura like an unsheathed sword.
And Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who has a stooped figure, an odd face, and dazzling eyes.
And sitting on the guest seat opposite them was the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.
He was not dressed in fancy clothes today, just a simple navy blue outfit, but the domineering and majestic look of the top Beast Martial Soul still came to his face.
He sat upright, like a pine tree, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning, looking directly at Ning Fengzhi.
The doors and windows of the living room were closed, isolating the inside and outside. Only the scent of tea floated in the air, but it could not dispel the invisible solemnity.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries and courtesy, Yu Yuanzhen stopped going around in circles.
He put down the tea cup in his hand, looked directly at Ning Fengzhi on the main seat, and asked straight to the point:
"More than three months have passed since Sect Master Ning, Clear Sky Sect happened. I wonder if Sect Master Ning... has any thoughts now?"
His voice was calm, but it carried an unmistakable sense of inquiry.
Ning Fengzhi heard this and paused slightly while playing with the tea cup in his hand.
He raised his eyes and looked at Yu Yuanzhen calmly, with the impeccable gentle smile still on his face. As if he didn't understand the meaning of Yu Yuanzhen's words, he asked:
"Thoughts? I wonder... which aspect Chief Jade is referring to?"
His words were both a temptation and a sign of caution.
He will not reveal his thoughts easily before clarifying the other party's true intentions and bottom line.
Yu Yuanzhen seems not surprised that Ning Fengzhi is pretending to be confused.
"Sect Master Ning, there are no outsiders here, just you and me, and the two guardians of Jian Gu Douluo. You should be clear about the reason why I came here today."
He paused, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Ning Fengzhi with burning eyes:
"I came here today with only one purpose. That is to ask Sect Master Ning if he has any thoughts on the current Clear Sky Sect...?"
"Ideas?" Ning Fengzhi's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes flashed.
He put down the tea cup and said in a more solemn tone, "Chief Yu, you mean... to do something about the Clear Sky Sect...?"
He did not use soft words such as cooperation and alliance.
Instead, it directly pointed out the most core and most sensitive possibility, which is to take action.
"Not bad!"
Yu Yuanzhen did not shy away, nodded vigorously, and admitted. "Today's Clear Sky Sect, after this battle, has long been a strong man on the outside, a weak man in the middle, and his vitality has been severely damaged! The top combat power has been lost, the backbone of the strength is not left, the reputation of the sect has been ruined, and the internal people are scattered! It is the weakest time!"
His eyes sparkled with a light called ambition and opportunity:
"Once Clear Sky Sect completely collapses, then the vacant title of the No. 1 sect in the world, as well as the huge resources, territory, and influence it originally controlled... will be a huge, ownerless cake!"
"Whether it's you Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or I, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, as long as you can get a big enough piece of it, your strength will be greatly enhanced and your foundation will be improved to a higher level! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both of us!"
Yu Yuanzhen's words are full of temptation and put the most naked interests on the table.
Indeed, the fall of a top sect leaves a legacy that is enough to make any force jealous.
