The Taicang Mu Family's Plan for Prosperity

Central Continent Heavenly Supervision Department.

Upon receiving Ye Li's reply, Ying Potian immediately rushed to the courtyard residence where the two were located in the Nine Domains Realm.

"The Dao Stele holds immense significance for our Divine Continent, and it is truly difficult to part with it. I wonder if the two envoys could change their terms?"

As his slightly apologetic words fell...

Mu Jingtai's face turned ashen, and he did not reply immediately.

Just as Aunt Rong had predicted, the Supreme Pure Divine Continent actually chose to refuse to exchange Dao Tablets with them!

This traitor has truly forgotten the kindness shown to him by Dasheng. Now he won't even part with a stone of unknown origin. He's a heartless ingrate.

In that case, it's no wonder they showed no mercy.

Sitting on the wicker chair beside him, Mu Zhaorong's smile remained unchanged, and she replied in a gentle tone:

"It's alright. Since the Divine Continent values the Dao Stele so much, we shouldn't take what others value."

"Let's drop this matter."

"As for changing the conditions... I'm afraid that's a bit of a stretch."

A troubled look appeared on her face as she pondered, "Aside from the Taiqing Dao Tablet, there are very few things within the Divine Continent that interest our Great Sheng. I'm afraid Palace Master Ying will find it equally difficult to accept."

"What are you saying, envoy?"

Ying Potian quickly replied, "If you two have any other treasures that interest you, please feel free to speak up."

"It's not that I don't want to speak frankly," Mu Zhaorong shook her head again and sighed.

"It's really unnecessary. What I mentioned earlier was the deal I thought was most likely to be reached, and even that was rejected by the Palace Master. What's the point of discussing the rest?"

"I hope the Palace Master understands that the Great Void Method is not some roadside stunt that anyone can learn a few tricks of."

"Everyone should know the weight of something that concerns historical Inheritance."

Ying Potian a chill run down his spine, and then solemnly said:

"It was my previous attitude that was inappropriate. I hope the envoy can speak frankly about his thoughts so that I can make a new judgment."

"... Never mind."

Mu Zhaorong sighed deeply, then forced a smile and said:

"I've heard that the Palace Master has a daughter named Xuanji, who is truly the number one prodigy in the Divine Continent today?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Potian's lips twitched slightly.

In the past, this statement would certainly have been correct.

At that time, everyone knew that the Seventh Star Lord master of the Ziwei Hall was the most talented in the Divine Continent.

But the fact that this matter, which had already become a laughing stock two months ago, is now being brought up so seriously evokes a sense of indescribable shame.

The true qualifications of Ye Li have always been kept very confidential, and it would be impossible to reveal them in this setting.

So, Ying Potian smiled as naturally as possible and said, "Exactly."

"The messenger's information is truly excellent."

"Hmm." Mu Zhaorong nodded slightly, and her next words made Ying Potian's smile freeze completely:

"If this is true, then please, Your Highness, betroth her to my nephew as a concubine."

"Every day, I just need to do odd jobs at the Taicang Mu Family and raise children."

"A few years later, my Mu family can also bestow our own Great Void Technique upon the Divine Continent."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the entire courtyard became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Ying Potian felt his blood rushing to his head.

Although the relationship between father and daughter is not very harmonious now.

Even during the most difficult times for Shenzhou, he never considered this possibility. If the world were at peace, there would be no need to discuss this matter further!

Compared to sending one's own daughter to be a concubine.

Ying Potian would rather die defending the Beast Emperor within the territory of the Northern Continent!

He blurted it out almost without thinking, with a hint of instinctive anger:

"That's absolutely impossible!"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately realized his mistake, broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly added:

"What I mean is, my daughter has no intention of leaving her homeland at the moment, and I'm afraid we will have to disappoint the envoy's good intentions..."

As he spoke, seeing the unpleasant expression on the green-clad woman's face, who had been smiling all along, Ying Potian's tone gradually softened.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault for being so talkative."

Mu Zhaorong's face was "gloomy," and although her words didn't reveal much anger, her constantly heaving chest spoke volumes about her current mood.

"But Lord Ying, if possible, Trouble don't force others to say things they can't promise next time!"

After saying that, she suddenly flicked her sleeve.

In that instant, the overwhelming majesty of the Great Void Realm Eighth Layer, accompanied by a raging wind, suddenly enveloped the entire Central Continent Heavenly Supervision Department, creating an atmosphere as oppressive as the end of the world!

"Please calm your anger, sir..."

Suppressing his rising anger, Ying Potian smiled wryly and said, "I was confused for a moment and said the wrong thing. I hope you won't blame me."

That was incredibly reckless.

Having sat in the position of the Ziwei Hall for too long, he has even lost some of the most basic Qi Nourishing skills, and actually managed to slip up and give himself such a handle to criticize.

That's enough.

Mu Zhaorong enunciated each word with great emphasis, picked up the teacup beside her again, and said, "Since the Dao Stele is gone and a marriage alliance is not an option, then please, Palace Master Ying, help me resolve this dilemma."

Where did the road stele go?

"To be honest, I've been subdued," Ying Potian replied, his heart pounding and his hands trembling slightly as he cupped his hands in a salute.

In that brief moment, he clearly sensed the difference in combat strength between the two sides.

If this Upper Realm Envoy insists on taking action, then the entire Divine Continent could be wiped out in a matter of days!

This level of power is simply too terrifying. Even with the Empowered by Wishes, he wasn't confident he could withstand a single blow from his opponent.

"Who recaptured it?"

Mu Zhaorong remained extremely calm, as if she had expected this answer.

"This..." Ying Potian felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart pounded with fear.

"Understood."

Mu Zhaorong suddenly laughed, her charming smile carrying a hint of mockery, "You can't say it, can you?"

Mu Jingtai, standing beside him, sneered repeatedly.

Ying Potian remained silent. "..."

Speaking out would Trouble for Ye Li, while remaining silent would offend the Upper Realm Envoy; he had no choice but to bet on one side.

"Since even getting answers doesn't work, could I ask Palace Master Ying for a small favor?"

Mu Zhaorong slowly rose to her feet, her voice indifferent.

"Please speak, sir."

"Trouble summon all the high-ranking elders of the entire Divine Continent here, including the Star Lord of your Ziwei Hall. I have something to say to you."

Mu Zhaorong left behind a cryptic remark and then went directly into the house.

Ying Potian was left standing there, looking at Mu Jingtai with a slightly helpless expression.

"Go and do it quickly, lest you really anger Aunt Rong, or things will get messy for everyone."

Mu Jingtai spoke with a playful tone, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel excited.

Aunt Rong's actions just now were merely a test.

Now comes the main event.

Firing at a single target is far less efficient than firing at a group of targets.

Aunt Rong clearly understood this principle; otherwise, why would she have made such a strange request to the other party?

All that's needed is for the other side to gather its high-ranking officials. If anyone makes a slip of the tongue in public, then I can use my identity as a member of the Nine Luminaries Division to accuse that person of "tearing up the friendly relations between the two countries"!

When the time comes to make amends, will a single [Taiqing Dao Tablet] be enough?

That's so hard to guess.
