Epilogue and Outpost (2)
This is an unprecedented negotiation.
It was also a negotiation with far-reaching implications.
Its nature and significance are so serious that both sides involved in the negotiations recognized this even before the negotiations had begun.
In negotiations like these, which involve the future of two races, every representative must undergo rigorous screening, whether it is the Human Race or the Demon Race.
On the Demon Race side, the attendance list is as follows: the Heaven Defying Demon Dragon Emperor Feng Xiu, the Moon Demon God Agares, the Star Demon God Vassago, the Lightning Demon God Paimon, the Wise Demon God Gusion, the Love Demon God Sitri and other older generation members, as well as the younger generation such as A Bao, Yue Ye, Leng Xiao, totaling thirty people.
On the Human Race side, the attendance list is as follows: Yang Haohan, the Knight Temple Master Assassin Temple the Temple Alliance Master; Qiu Yonghao Sheng Yue, the Temple Master of the Magic Temple; Li Zhengzhi, the Temple Master of the Soul Temple Warrior Temple; Ruo Shui Yonghao, the Vice Hall Master the Priest Temple Knight Temple; San Shui, the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Temple; Ruoshui, the Deputy Temple Throne of God Seal the Knight Temple; Yang Haoyu, the Chief Elder of the Knight Temple; Long Tianyin, the holder of the Throne of God Seal Knight Temple; Long Xingyu, the holder of the Divine Throne of the Knight Temple; and other members of the older generation, as well as a mixed group of forty people, including Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao, with Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Ying'er, Sima Xian, and others as assistants.
Ye Qingcang was also on the attendance list this time.
The same applies to Sheng Cai'er.
For Yang Haohan and the others, whether Ye Qingcang could negotiate or not was no longer important. As long as he sat in the first seat of the Human Race's negotiating table, he wouldn't need to worry about anything else. They could handle the Ye Qingcang battles. But if Ye Qingcang really wanted to get involved, they had prepared their bottom line and shown it to him.
However, Ye Qingcang and Sheng Cai'er's identities are somewhat awkward. If they are classified as belonging to the older generation, it would be too incongruous given their ages. Even Long Xingyu, the youngest among the older generation, is over forty years old, and his son Long Haochen is already that grown up. But if they are classified as belonging to the younger generation, it would be easier to say about Sheng Cai'er, whose strength is at most comparable to the Seventh Order, not even reaching the Eighth Order. But for Ye Qingcang, who can fight to a draw with the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, it would be a form of contempt.
To put it more seriously, it's even an insult.
If everything is about seniority, what's the point of having ability?
Therefore, Ye Qingcang and Sheng Cai'er sat together one after the other, occupying the first and second seats at the Human Race negotiating table respectively. Even Yang Haohan, the leader of the Temple Alliance, could only sit in the third seat. The ranking was based on strength: Yang Haoyu, a level Ninth Order- rank cultivator, sat in fourth; Li Zhengzhi, a level Ninth Order cultivator, sat in fifth; Long Tianyin, who possessed the Throne of God Seal, sat in sixth; Long Xingyu, who also possessed the Throne of God Seal but sat in seventh due to seniority; and then Sheng Yue and others.
As for the Demon Race, the order is quite simple.
Simply rank them according to the Demon God Pillar.
A Bao and the others were all pushed to the back.
He stared at Long Haochen and the others sitting opposite him.
Even the lowest-ranking Demon God is not someone that A Bao, the son of the Demon God Emperor, can provoke in such a solemn occasion. Even if A Bao is dissatisfied with the seating arrangement, he can only silently accept it.
Unless he has some special status.
For example, the leader of the Demon Race's "Hunting Demon Squad".
This is a team that specializes in hunting Human Race Demon Hunt Squad.
Clearly, A Bao is not like that yet.
Since that's not the case, then I can only sit in the back.
She sat with Yue Ye, temporarily residing behind Leng Xiao.
Logically speaking, Leng Xiao is the younger sister and A Bao is the older brother. A Bao should have sat in front of Leng Xiao. However, A Bao likes Yue Ye and has clearly expressed his feelings. If he had discussed with Leng Xiao about changing seats to be closer to Yue Ye, Leng Xiao wouldn't have been so heartless in refusing.
However, the Yue Ye tonight is exceptionally cold.
If there was at least some perfunctory attitude in the past, today, there wasn't even that.
His purple eyes were filled with calm.
Her smile remained flawless.
Anyone who looked at her would think she was an elegant young lady, but no one could have imagined that such an elegant young lady could be among the top five in terms of darkness in her heart, and in terms of ruthlessness, she could even squeeze into the top three.
His gaze was captivating, his deep purple eyes alluring.
In just a moment, the Human Race revealed their lecherous nature.
This also angered A Bao, who wanted to shout and yell, but with his own father and many Demon God present, he knew it would be difficult to back down if he stirred up trouble. So he could only say sarcastically, "I thought that since Human Race condemn our Demon Race for being cruel and inhumane, then Human Race must be standing on the moral high ground of God of Kindness and politeness to dare to point fingers at us... Now it seems that whether we are God of Kindness or not is unclear, but as for politeness, tsk tsk tsk, don't they even know the principle of 'don't look at what is improper'?"
The Yue Ye automatically filtered out A Bao's words.
It's impossible for her to be with A Bao.
In the past, there might have been some possibility that if Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu wanted her to marry A Bao, she would have no choice but to obey. But now, at this critical juncture of negotiations between the two groups, even if Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu ordered her to marry A Bao, her father Moon Demon God Agares, would definitely stand up and oppose it, because times have changed.
Therefore, whatever A Bao says is irrelevant to her.
She's just choosing a suitable human.
She married this human and had a child.
That was her mission.
Since there's no other choice, the only option is to pick a human that you find agreeable and continue on that path.
Life is like that; if you can't resist it, you might as well enjoy it. Even if you want to resist, you have to wait for the right opportunity.
However, Yue Ye could filter it, Long Haochen and the others couldn't. There were indeed a few among them with weak willpower who were looking rather blatantly, their eyes practically glued to Yue Ye's long, white legs. But even though they all glanced at her a couple of times when they came in, and although they knew that A Bao was cursing those people, being caught up in the aftermath was still a very unpleasant experience.
Before Long Haochen could even speak, Yang Wenzhao, who had just taken his seat, retorted sarcastically, "Since you all know that it's indecent to look at, why don't you dress more conservatively? Did we force her to dress so indecently and shamelessly?"
"You know nothing!" A Bao couldn't stand anyone criticizing Yue Ye. Besides, as Demon Race himself, he knew very well that Yue Ye's clothes weren't tattered; they were the traditional attire of the Moon Demon Race, far from deserving of being slandered as shameless. "A bunch of ignorant fools! You don't even know the style of Moon Demon Race clothing. Yue Ye's outfit is standard attire for important occasions, a sign of respect for the negotiations. Is this how you attack our sincerity?"
Yang Wenzhao's expression changed, but he didn't dare to reply.
Long Haochen and the others were the same.
They really don't know much about the culture of the Demon Race.
If A Bao makes a fuss about this.
You'll inevitably get a scolding from your elders.
Of course, if they were elders, they would also scold themselves for such a reversal of fortune. The elders were negotiating peacefully in front, while the younger generation was arguing behind them because of differences in cultural customs. They would definitely feel itchy to punch someone in this situation.
As a result, Yang Wenzhao and the others had no choice but to remain silent.
However, the spirit of unity remained, and no one blamed those few individuals.
This can be considered a case of turning a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing.
Let's drop this matter and not mention it again.
However, no one noticed the fleeting disappointment in Yue Ye's eyes.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingcang, Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, Yang Haohan, Moon Demon God Agares, and others who had just taken their seats also withdrew their gazes. They were all in the same room, so it was impossible for them not to hear.
They just exchanged a few words; they haven't actually fought yet.
This result is already the best it can be.
This can be considered a so-so start to their upcoming negotiations, as the negotiations are destined to be exceptionally intense.
This will warm up the atmosphere beforehand and give them a chance to perform.
