Chapter 464 – Negotiations Gone Wrong

After some time, Yan Tianhen knocked on the door and came in. “Master, Martial Uncle, Yin Xinghan came to our door with a man and a woman and said they wanted to cooperate with us.”

You Ming raised his head, slightly stunned. “How can there be such a brazen, despicable, and shameless person?”

Yan Tianhen, “….”

In the reception hall, the atmosphere was not very good for a while.

“The Jade Cicada King is really amazing. He kept you hidden from my eyes for so long.” Yin Xinghan smiled, but it made people uncomfortable.

Lin Xuanzhi continued to drink tea with a mild expression, directly treating him as air.

You Ming walked over in a breezy manner and started speaking before he had even reached them, “I smelled a terrible stench from far away and thought that something had rotted. Now that I’ve seen you guys, I know why.”

Yue Suhua and Lord Chuibi turned their heads and saw You Ming, who had restored his original appearance. They saw him in a black robe, with his long black hair that was knee-length loosely draped behind him, as if he had just woken up from sleep. With a black ribbon and red bead on his forehead, his face was so bright and handsome that it made people feel ashamed.

When they saw a You Ming who looked like this, Yue Suhua and Lord Chuibi’s complexions both changed. He had this exact appearance — dressed like a black chicken — when he went crazy a few years ago, coming to the Royal Heavenly Palace to look for Yan Zhonghua and turning the entire city upside down.

You Ming was probably born for destruction. By himself, he stirred up chaos for the Yan family and caused great pandemonium in the entire city, making everyone anxious and restless. Although the consequences weren’t very serious, once they remembered those days when they weren’t able to sleep peacefully, Yue Suhua and Lord Chuibi felt terrible.

Even Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw You Ming’s appearance. In the past, he had only seen You Ming’s disguised appearance, so this was the first time that Lin Xuanzhi saw his real face. His surprise was due to no other reason than the fact that this appearance was very similar to Yan Tianhen’s features reflected in the mirror that could show one’s true appearance.

Yue Suhua was the first to speak, and her voice was soft as she smiled, “Demon Venerable You Ming is right. These stinky men don’t smell very good.”

The smelly man Lord Chuibi cast Yue Suhua a look from the corner of his eyes.

However, You Ming also smiled, bright and gorgeous. “Even if you deliberately flatter me, I still have no good feelings for you all — just a group of sc.u.ms who can only play dirty tricks behind the scenes.”

“You Ming, don’t go too far!” Yin Xinghan’s anger couldn’t be restrained, and a strong pressure burst out of his body. Yan Tianhen frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

You Ming suddenly became energetic as well. “What’s the matter? You guys delivered yourselves right to my door; do you want to fight? Come, come, come. Fight, fight, fight. As if this Venerable is afraid of you all!”

Yue Suhua covered her lips and laughed a few times.

As soon as Lord Chuibi opened his mouth to speak, he heard You Ming say, “The East Sovereign is an infatuated and single-minded person, but it’s quite a pity for that delusional sister of yours. Tsk tsk, if I were her, I would’ve definitely already become a monk by now, accompanied only by the lamps and Buddha statues for the rest of my life, never daring to come out to see anyone again in this lifetime.”

“You…You Ming…”

Yue Suhua hurriedly pressed down on Lord Chuibi’s shoulder, comforting him, “Don’t argue with him. He’s nothing more than an abandoned wife who fell out of favor. I don’t see King Ye being kind to him either.”

You Ming’s face became cold, and his fingers clenched so much they emitted cracking sounds.

Lord Chuibi coldly glared at You Ming, looking as though he would start fighting in the next second. The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

Esteemed Lan Yue stood by and watched coldly. When he saw that they really would start fighting unless someone stopped them, he spoke up, “What are you guys here for? Is it just to argue?”

“Naturally not.” Yue Suhua smiled and let go of Lord Chuibi who was about to be pressed into the ground by her. She was very thankful that she had no dark history for people to poke at and spoke with a smile to Esteemed Lan Yue, “We are here this time to discuss a matter.”

“Spit it out!” You Ming cut a long story short.

“Aiya, what’s Demon Venerable You Ming in such a hurry for?” Yue Suhua said, “Right now, three of the five seals have been broken. To tell you the truth, we just obtained the Heavenly Thunder Tripod from the North Continent not long ago, and the Twin Lotus Lamp is here with you. The Four Directions Seal is about to appear. Instead of trying to kill each other and letting a third party take advantage of our situation, it’s better to put down our grudges for the time being and join hands to seize the Great Demon-Sealing Array first, so that other people will have no chance to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure. After that, we will rely on our own abilities to fight it out. What do you think?”

After listening to her, You Ming didn’t even think about it before refusing, “This Venerable doesn’t think so.”

Yue Suhua’s smile cracked a little. “Then what is Demon Venerable You Ming thinking?

You Ming gave her a contemptuous look. “Do you think we’re stupid? The Jade Cicada King is in our hands right now. With it, what kind of barriers or great arrays can’t we find? You all just can’t find the entrance, so you want to take this opportunity to fish for information from us. If we secretly went to the Great Demon-Sealing Array without you, wouldn’t we also be happy?”
