我家哥哥宠妹如命

It was because a portion of the great elder’s disciples had gone to Changping. Even those reclusive experts who had been in seclusion had joined them. This was enough to show how big the lineup was.

As for dealing with Ye Xuan, they could put it aside for the time being. After all, they still valued the spirit mine more, which was closely related to their interests.

One had to know that a sect’s demand for spirit stones was extremely large. Even though they didn’t suffer any serious losses, how could they be willing to eat plain porridge since they were used to large amounts of meat?

Not to mention, there was also a flood dragon. The two together were enough to make many people eager to try.

!!

Yi Chengrui from Changping sent a message to Ye Xuan as soon as he heard the news.

“Elder Ye, what should I do now? They can’t be thinking of tearing up the treaty, right?”

Yi Chengrui was anxious in the City Lord’s mansion. After learning that people from Jingdu were coming, he didn’t sleep for several days and nights. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the scene of the beast tide attacking the city last time.

He knew that there were many capable people in Jingdu, and there were many powerful experts. However, as he had said before, the geological environment of Changping was very special. The surrounding mountains stretched on endlessly, and there were giant trees everywhere that blocked out the sky, so many demonic beasts were born.

It was because they had accidentally discovered a spirit stone mine here that they had spent a great deal of manpower and resources to build the city and erect the barrier.

No matter how many experts there were in Jingdu, could they compare to the sea of demonic beasts?

Yi Chengrui felt that those people from Jingdu had not come to Changping for too long and were completely ignorant of the environment and situation here. These high and mighty cultivators only needed to give orders to the people below.

Compared to Yi Chengrui’s anxiety, Ye Xuan’s voice was unhurried.

“They came to discuss with me earlier. I guess they wanted to tear up the treaty…” Ye Xuan paused and his voice revealing a hint of ridicule.

“Take everything for themselves, including those that were given to the demonic beasts.”

Upon hearing this, Yi Chengrui’s eyes went black and he almost fainted. “Elder Ye, why didn’t you…”

Yi Chengrui knew he had made a mistake and didn’t say the word “stop”. He understood that the forces in Jingdu were deeply rooted in a mess. No matter how capable Ye Xuan was, it was impossible to convince everyone.

“I knew that there would be a change in Jingdu. Why are these people not willing to take a step back…”

Taking a step back could solve many things, such as unnecessary disputes and killing.

Yi Chengrui was inexplicably resentful. He hated those cultivators who had great strength but didn’t know that they were in a difficult position. Even if he was the City Lord, what could he do?

In all these years in Changping, no one could see more clearly than him. Changping needed to rest and recuperate, but these cultivators who were thousands of miles away did not understand this.

They even claimed that they were righteous and that they would never allow demonic beasts to oppress the human race. It was abominable.

“Is there no other way? We’re going to start a war again. I’m afraid that the demonic beasts won’t let Changping off this time.”

He had seen the sea of demonic beasts long ago. The people of Jingdu probably couldn’t deal with them all. Moreover, Changping had yet to recover. This time, Changping couldn’t be kept anymore.

Yi Chengrui was a little desperate, like a man in the mud. However, Ye Xuan’s voice pulled him back up again.

“What are you thinking? I’ve already spoken to Qian Yuan. It knows what it’s doing. It’ll take special care of those people from Jingdu. It’ll give them an unforgettable trip.”

Ye Xuan’s last sentence was meaningful.

Yi Chengrui was dumbfounded. He even stuttered, “Elder… Elder Ye, what do you mean?”

Ye Xuan didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked a random question, “Do you know how to pretend to be sick? Do you know how to fish in troubled waters?”

From Yi Chengrui’s previous attitude of taking the initiative to talk to Ye Xuan, he knew that Yi Chengrui didn’t want to have a conflict with the demonic beasts. Besides, what those demonic beasts said made sense.

For Yi Chengrui, it was simply a happy thing for everyone to exchange long-term peace between the two sides at the cost of losing some spirit mines. However, this didn’t mean that others could accept it.

Yi Chengrui’s attitude would not waver. Ye Xuan was willing to help because he could see that Yi Chengrui was a clear-headed person.

Ye Xuan stopped there. He believed that Yi Chengrui was smart so he would understand.

Yi Chengrui carefully thought about this sentence and was suddenly enlightened. He was instantly overjoyed. “Thank you, Elder Ye.”

With Ye Xuan’s protection, he knew that as long as the people of Changping didn’t take the initiative to offend the demonic beasts, they wouldn’t do anything to them.

At the same time, they also had a deeper understanding of the relationship between Ye Xuan and Qian Yuan. With just a word from Ye Xuan, those demon beasts would not vent their anger on them. What kind of ability was this?

It was enough to show that the relationship between Ye Xuan and Qian Yuan was not ordinary.

Yi Chengrui didn’t have any doubts. He didn’t even know how much trust and respect he had for Ye Xuan.

Jingdu was Jingdu, and Changping was Changping. What did the people from Jingdu have to do with Changping?

Since that group of people wants to find trouble, then let them be. Ye Xuan’s remarks revealed this meaning.

Yi Chengrui, who walked out of the room, felt refreshed as if an unprecedented burden had been unloaded. The big stone that pressed on his heart had also been lifted. He called over his confidant and whispered a few words. Then he revealed a mysterious smile.
