Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Lingzhou Chapter 62 Spring Hunting in the Hundred Mountains (2)
After Zhao Bailian said this, Wu Shixing, Bai Haijing, and Ye Jiawen who were present were undoubtedly a little caught off guard, making them look at each other for a while, but they were not in a hurry to speak.
After a long time, it was Chenyang Sect Master Wu Shixing who took the lead in breaking the silence, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Zhao suddenly became so straightforward, I am really a little unaccustomed to it!"
When Zhao Bailian heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that the impression left by Zhao before has caused you a great misunderstanding, but fortunately, this is not a big deal compared to spring hunting." β
When Wu Shixing heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but ponder the meaning of the other party's words in his heart, but then he felt that he was a little excessive, after all, the reason why he Chenyang Sect participated in the Hundred Mountains Spring Hunt certainly also included the 'responsibility' of the cultivation sect, but in the end, the original intention and root cause of it was still a ridiculous trick of intrigue between the three major sword sects in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that he had enough benefits for him to collect in this process, he wouldn't have to go through a lot of trouble for these unsightly dirty things, just like the Lingxi Valley Lord 'Liu Yuan', who actually had a lot of friendship with Zhao Bailian, could it really be such a coincidence, but the practice went wrong when the spring hunt was approaching? Of course, Wu Shixing also knew that when he told the other party about this, the smile that flashed on the latter's face must have figured out the meaning, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so it was not good to tear his face on the spot.
In the end, after thinking about it in his heart for a while, Wu Shixing gave up the idea of continuing to fight for them again, and fell silent, after all, although he had received a lot of benefits, he didn't have the need to do his best for things like grinding his lips and fighting with words.
Seeing that Wu Shixing stopped talking stupidly, and seeing Bai Haijing's cold and frosty appearance and didn't want to speak first, Ye Jiawen, who was under huge pressure, had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the lead in speaking: "Since Sect Master Zhao is so direct, then Ye is no longer hiding, my Yunlan Sect's request this time is that if my sect can win your sect by luck in the spring hunt, my Yunlan Sect wants five people who can go to Yong'an City with the disciples of your sect to participate in the quota of the six sects held by the dynasty." β
As soon as Ye Jiawen's words fell, Wang Chu, who was sitting behind Zhao Bailian and had a very irritable personality, got up and said coldly: "It's just wishful thinking, Sect Master Ye, do you know what you're talking about?"
In the face of Wang Chu's fierce drinking, Ye Jiawen's ordinary face, which could no longer be ordinary, was always as calm as water, he did not answer, but looked at Zhao Bailian very indifferently.
Zhao Bailian's face at the moment is also not very good-looking. The other party is too lion-mouthed, and he wants half of their participation places when he opens his mouth, if they can all agree casually, then what kind of sword sect is the Lotus Sect that is exclusively supplied by the dynasty?
However, compared to Wang Chu, since he Zhao Bailian is the master of a sect, he is equivalent to the faΓ§ade of the entire sect, so naturally he can't be as calm as Wang Chu.
This means that the higher the seat, the greater the responsibility. Or is this the reason why he has been able to sit in this position smoothly since more than ten years ago?
Zhao Bailian looked at Ye Jiawen calmly, but for some reason, this was a very normal look, but it made Ye Jiawen, who had successfully broken through to the upper three realms, suddenly feel a little frightened, as if that look was not a look, but a sharp sword qi that could pierce his soul.
Zhao Bailian felt that the other party was obviously unfinished, so she raised her hand to signal Wang Chu behind her to be calm, and just said, "Sect Master Ye, please continue!"
Seeing this, Wang Chu's face was anxious, and he said bitterly: "Sect Master......!!"
Zhao Bailian saw that he couldn't control his emotions anymore, so he had to dissuade him and said: "Elder Wang, don't be in a hurry, after this sect listens to their conditions, he will make a decision, before that, I will definitely not casually agree to such an arrogant and unreasonable request, you can rest assured that it is ......"
Ye Jiawen had already recovered from the other party's eyes at this moment, and only then did he find that his back was already a little sweaty, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, "This Zhao Bailian's strength is so strong, if it weren't for the fact that the Lotus Sect had begun to gradually weaken in the decades before he took office, I really don't want to get any sweetness from his hands." β
Ye Jiawen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face was forced to calm down, and he still opened his mouth widely: " In addition, because there are too many new disciples in my Yunlan Sect in recent years, even the place to arrange for them to practice and live is no longer enough, presumably Sect Master Zhao also knows that my Qingxuan Mountain is just a mountain after all, therefore, Ye Mou dared to take this opportunity to borrow eight of the small lotus peaks from your sect for the use of his disciples, after all, the disciples of your Lotus Sect are only about three thousand, but they are far from using thirty-two small lotus peaks. β
After Ye Jiawen finished speaking, he didn't care about taking a breath, so he continued to say like pouring beans: "Of course, Ye also knows that this request is a bit abrupt for you, plus Ye has also heard that these thirty-two small lotus peaks of your sect are very peculiar and have their own merits, but the closer they are to the main peak, the richer the aura of heaven and earth contained in their peaks. In this way, in order to show sincerity, your sect only needs to borrow the outermost eight mountains to my sect, and the time limit is set for fifty years, and when the fifty years have passed, our sect will return it immediately, there is no lie, Sect Master Zhao, what do you think?"
Hearing Ye Jiawen say this, all the people present who could sit in the five tents undoubtedly fell into silence.
However, Wu Shixing, who was in the tent on Zhao Bailian's left, had an expected look on his face at this moment, even if he was behind him, Zuo Luo, one of the left and right hands who came with him, was not the slightest surprise about this.
When Zhao Bailian heard this, she didn't answer for a long time, but instead took the opportunity to glance at Wu Shixing and Bai Haijing who were present, and then faintly understood, obviously Yunlan Sect's plan was known to them in advance, or was this simply what they had discussed?
So, Zhao Bailian couldn't help but recall the information that he had brought back to himself about a month ago, and the chess pieces he had arranged in the major sects, and he couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart, which was really no different from what they described, and even he couldn't help but think in his heart, "In order to completely eat up my Lotus Sect, have you really begun to collude?"
The elders of the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Sects who were sitting quietly behind Zhao Bailian, if they were only angry when Ye Jiawen proposed five places to enter Yong'an City, then at this time, there is no doubt that this anger is completely displayed on their faces, it is Han Yu, the Supreme Elder of the Xia Character Sect, who has always acted calmly and solemnly, after being silent for a long time, he also stood up with an angry face, and said to Zhao Bailian in a deep voice: "Sect Master, Han Yu will never agree to this matter!"
Seeing this, Wang Chu immediately clenched his fists and said: "Yes, I, Wang Chu, am the master of these eight Little Lotus Peaks, if I can't even keep my own mountain, not to mention how I should explain to the disciples under the seat, what kind of face can I have to face those ancestors and ancestors who have already passed away?"
Seeing Han Yu and Wang Chu, they all stepped forward at this moment to express that Feng Yuanshan acted at the opportunity, and made a position when he saw the opportunity, and it was Song Yu who stood up at the end, but it was difficult to see from his face whether he was sincere or had to do it as a last resort.
Zhao Bailian saw them persuading each other, but she waved her hand a little physically and mentally exhausted, but she didn't say anything, but said lightly to Ye Jiawen: "It seems that Sect Master Ye has a deep understanding of the situation of my Sect!
Ye Jiawen didn't think that he would lose at all, but according to the rules, he still had to set up a condition equal to him on the surface, so according to the result of the discussion with Zhou Manyuan in advance, he replied bluntly: "If my Yunlan Sect loses, I will return all the rewards that I have won from your sect starting from the tenth generation of your sect, and in addition, within twenty years, my Yunlan Sect will no longer participate in the Hundred Mountains Spring Hunt." β
When Zhao Bailian heard this, the pair of ancient well-free eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, and she said, "If Zhao didn't hear it wrong, what Sect Master Ye just said was to return 'all' of the items that were lost from my Lotus Sect?"
Ye Jiawen replied with a calm face: "Yes, all!"
Hearing this, Zhao Bailian nodded, and then replied: "Okay, Zhao knows, but for the matter of borrowing the mountain, there is no precedent for this matter, and the stakes are significant, although this sect is the master of a sect, it has to be discussed with the four Supreme Elders of my sect before making a decision, and Zhao cannot immediately reply to Sect Master Ye." β
Ye Jiawen has a lot of experience, and he knows the truth that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he won't have any objections to this, of course, he even feels that the other party wants to win the Yunlan Sect from this spring hunt, that is simply a dream, "Is it just the genius sword cultivator Xu Yan who won the first place in this selection competition?" Ye Jiawen couldn't help sneering in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he said with a pleasant face: "That's natural, anyway, the real start of the spring hunt will be three days later, Zhao Bailian only needs to give me an answer within three days." β
Seeing this, Zhao Bailian nodded again, and then turned her head to look at Bai Haijing, who was wearing a dark green robe, and asked in a calm tone: "Sect Master Ye has already finished talking about the conditions, so Master Baizhuang, I don't know what your conditions are?"
