"They're out, they're out, they're out..."
"Holy shit, Zhonghang Xuqin left?"
"Damn... did my nephew really pull it off?"
Old Cao sat in the lineage hall, but his divine sense kept sweeping over the outer hall at the Mountain Gate.
Although his divine sense could not enter the outer hall either, he could see Zhonghang Xuqin once she emerged from it.
Boom...
The next moment, He Pingsheng's divine sense swept over as well.
He, too, saw Zhonghang Xuqin leave.
"Young master... young master..."
Old Diao jogged all the way from the Mountain Gate straight to the lineage hall. "It's settled... it's settled..."
"Zhonghang Xuqin decided not to pursue the matter!"
"We've reached an agreement!"
He Pingsheng asked, "What terms did you agree on?"
"Whew..." Old Diao drew a deep breath. "She said, first, we have to release her son!"
"And remove the Heart Seals from him!"
As he spoke, Old Diao glanced at Young Lord Zhonghang, who lay on the floor like a dead dog.
Young Lord Zhonghang was unconscious at the moment.
He Pingsheng nodded. "That's fine!"
"We can't kill this brat yet anyway. There's no harm in sending him back first!"
"Anything else?"
"Yes!" Old Diao said. "Then, our He Family's annual tribute will be abolished from now on. Also, Zhonghang Xuqin has given you her two Divine Spirit Realm servants!"
"Huh?" He Pingsheng had not expected Zhonghang Xuqin to be so generous.
Old Diao continued, "And, and... she said there are two divine meridians in the mountains where their Zhonghang Family lives!"
"She's willing to give us one of them!"
"All she asks is that you don't hold their Young Lord Zhonghang accountable for his offense this time!"
He Pingsheng smiled.
Good heavens!
How had he negotiated this?
Old Diao asked again, "Are you satisfied, young master?
