Chapter 1348: Seven Martial Pavilions Generous Payment (2/2)
Li Qiye chuckled: “This goading won’t work on me.” His eyes turned serious as he stared at the elder: “We can leave the seven styles aside and focus on your Hallowed Ancestor’s plan as well as the direction your pavilion will take in the future.”
The third elder chuckled as well and said: “Ah, well, our pavilion hopes that you can become Immortal Emperor and our lord, the next sea G.o.d.”
“Third Elder, if you want to negotiate with me, then just be honest, don’t play games like this.” Li Qiye coldly spoke: “There are some things that you might not be qualified to know, but if your Hallowed Ancestor has sent you here to negotiate, it means that he has made a decision and told you certain things. So, Third Elder, let’s cut to the chase if you actually wish to negotiate.”
The third elder was slightly startled: “How did you know it was the Hallowed Ancestor who sent me?”
Li Qiye insipidly responded: “It’s very simple. Who can actually be in charge of using the seven styles as a bargaining tool? Who has such guts? If it was any other ancestor from your pavilion, they wouldn’t be willing to bear this mark of a sinner, the full burden of the blame. In your entire sect, only your Hallowed Ancestor dares to make this grand gamble!”
“You truly see through everything.” The elder sighed and confessed: “Yes, it was the Hallowed Ancestor who sent me here to talk to you.”
Li Qiye said: “Then tell me his plan.”
The elder hesitated for a moment before glancing over at Ruyan and Jians.h.i.+.
“Young n.o.ble, we’ll be off then.” Jians.h.i.+ hurriedly said after seeing the elder’s demeanor.
Li Qiye waved his sleeve dismissively while looking at the elder: “Stay and listen. Third Elder, I trust the two of them. If I am no longer in Heaven Spirit one day, the Void Imperfection Schools will act as my representatives, do you understand?”
“Excuse me, I worried too much, I hope Schoolmasters will forgive me.” The elder quickly cupped his fists and apologized to the two girls.
Jians.h.i.+ replied: “You are being overly polite, Third Elder.” In fact, his actions were understandable.
Li Qiye said: “Since your Hallowed Ancestor has made up his mind to do this, we’ll be frank with each other.”
The elder finally took a deep breath and began: “Young n.o.ble, the truth is that our Hallowed Ancestor wishes to make a change, the biggest reformation to our bloodline.”
Li Qiye stared at him and slowly said: “Your sect does not wish for something as simple as a sea G.o.d or an Immortal Emperor for your groom. What you truly want is to use my bloodline to give birth to an unfathomable descendant! This will be the revolution of your bloodline, the wish of your Hallowed Ancestor.”
“He only wishes for change.” The elder let out a hollow laugh.
Li Qiye continued: “This is too clear from the fact that he wishes to team up with me and not Meng Zhentian. He wishes to produce more offspring with my imperial human bloodline. He’s not a fool, so I’m sure he has already explained everything to you beforehand.”
“Well…” The third elder found it difficult to respond because they didn’t have things planned to this point yet.
Li Qiye speculated: “I know what your ancestor intends to do. The reproduction of our bloodlines will be the last part of the negotiation. As for your pavilion’s plan, that is even further into the future. He wishes to bring this up after our marriage, when our marital bond and love becomes stronger.”
“Uh…” The third elder lost control of this deliberation because it was proceeding too quickly. Both sides hadn’t talked about cooperating just, yet but they had gotten to the latter points already.
The elder quickly said: “Young n.o.ble, if you would like, you can talk to our Hallowed Ancestor about these future plans some other time. If you form an alliance with us, we will not hide anything from you since we will be a family connected by bonds!”
