Chapter 518: Garden Party
Sages wondered if hed suddenly stepped into a reality show. Four young men and four young women, they were chatting and mingling like a dating show, yet to the side the four chaperones were also paired up and chatting. The only thing missing was a narrator. Will these four pairs of youngsters find love? Will their Elders be able to choose matches and negotiate marriages? Is that a spark among the Elders? Is it time for their second spring? Love triangles, circles, and every other shape are bound to arise in this season of Cricket meets Spider.
His own amusement was only a temporary distraction as their approach attracted the attention of those gathered. Sage could tell that Xiezi was fuming, but her vicious words were held back by the fact they were the guests of the Zhu Clan. Such internal strife shouldnt be shown off in front of strangers. Sage on the other hand, was not as concerned with propriety in this case, especially after being snubbed by the Zhu Clan in the past.
Ahh, here you are! Are the negotiations going well? Are you matchmaking? Such a great batch of youngsters. Tell me about them as well, Im not close with any of them so Ill be able to make a more neutral judgement.
Neither party looked happy to see their new group of three, and Sages request didnt make it any better. He also didnt stand on ceremony, pulling a chair out of the Universe Ring and directly taking a seat between the two groups of Elders. Sitting between the two old men and women, facing towards the table of young people, Come on, give me the details. Tell me about these eight. They are certainly dragons among men and phoenixes among women, right?
The faces of the two old men from the Jinxi faction soured further, but the two old women of the Zhu Clan were surprised, but then they immediately mellowed. Sage felt like they knew there was more to this whole thing than they had imagined. As a clan that used marriage to build their power and influence, the Zhu Clan was likely no slouch when it came to games of intrigue. Two groups coming from the Chong Clan, wearing similar outfits yet with drastically different coloring. If these two old women couldnt figure out that this was some sort of dispute between internal factions, they would never have survived so long in their clan. In fact they actually seemed pleased. Internal disputes like this usually meant that their clan could fish up more benefits for themselves.
The most famous members of the Zhu Clan were actually those that had negotiated amazing alliances and arrangements. In the Zhu Clan, a woman was judged based on the deals she could make. The most legendary of them were those that had acted as a mediator, extracting benefits from both sides while also increasing the reputation of their clan at the same time. The women of the Zhu Clan competed harshly with each other, for only the most skilled were allowed to stay within the Clan and lead the next generation. The higher they ranked among the other women the more choice they were given over their future husbands.
Sage had no idea how very harshly this clan full of beautiful flowers treated their own members, he only knew that they had snubbed him and so he was happy to disrupt the Jinxis dealing with them. Xiezi was here to recruit them to their cause, but now that the Jinxi were already here, he found another path. While it may not be as good as gaining their support, stopping them from supporting the Jinxi was nearly as valuable. It was also likely to be much easier. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Usually it was a combination of both, but because of their role in this meeting, he assumed they were all old foxes. In fact, Sage only dared to sit between them and start talking about the younger generation because he was a Nascent Soul. His own age was somewhere around a single century, but because he had surpassed them in strength, he declared himself as at least equals to them in seniority and they didnt dare to refute him. Xiezi was also forced to concede this point. She was very highly ranked among the Xie faction, and she was near the peak of the fifth rank just like these four old folks. Her strength being near equal to them should have given her enough clout to negotiate, but Sage butted in and sent her to sit with the younger folk. She could then choose to fight back, but doing so would reduce Sages standing.
Sage chuckled inwardly, Xiezi chose to put the mission first and accepted his direction. Funny enough, Tujiu was of a similar age to Sage because of the Inner World, but because he was a Demonic Beast he matured far more slowly and fit in quite well with the youngsters. Demonic Beasts matured very quickly physically, but their mental and emotional maturity was extremely slow in comparison. Tujiu was very singular in his desires, immediately asking to duel with the men and also boasting about his capabilities to the women. Xiezi on the other hand, stayed quiet and observed the group, like she was studying them. Of course, she also spent half her attention on trying to hear what was going on at the other table.
The Jinxi old men continued to send glares at Sage, but they played along and offered praise for the young men they brought. They hadnt got the chance to pull the Zhu Clan over to their side, and they certainly didnt want Sage there to disrupt their negotiation, so they could only engage in small talk and join the conversation about matchmaking.
Elsewhere in Plum Lantern City.
A sliding door was thrown from its tracks, a man ran into the room in such a hurry that hed broken the door. The sudden noise and bustle caused a powerful pressure to erupt in the room and the man in a hurry was forced to his knees. In front of him, a middle aged man was sitting cross legged in front of a bronze statue. The statue depicted an imposingly large and heavily muscled shirtless man throwing a punch. Upon the chest of the statue was the character for Violent, and it was being studied by the seated middle aged man.
The powerful aura came from this man and completely restrained the new arrival. He didnt bother to rise or turn around when he spoke, You broke my door.
The man in a rush didnt fight the power weighing down upon him, immediately falling to his knees and kowtowing to the seated man, Forgive me, Sect Leader! There is important news!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
