"Deputy Sect Leader Chen acted impulsively and offended Martial Granduncle. This matter has been known by Grand Elder. Grand Elder is extremely angry and has decided to punish Deputy Sect Leader Chen personally. However, now Sect Leader Hong has not returned, and the affairs of the sect are complicated and cannot be left without someone in charge. I hope Martial Granduncle can be magnanimous and let Deputy Sect Leader Chen go for the sake of the sect and let him apologize to you personally. What do you think?" While speaking, Lu Pingan carefully stared at every expression of Lin Yi, for fear of missing any useful information.
"This is Grand Elder's idea?" Lin Yi squinted at him and said.
"Yes." Lu Pingan nodded. If it was his own idea, he believed that the other party would not bother to talk with him at all, because it was meaningless.
As a result, Lin Yi's reaction surprised him. "Since it is his idea, why doesn't he come to talk with me himself?"
"…" Lu Pingan was choked speechless for a while. This guy did not play his cards according to reason. Normally, at this point, he should be very clear that he was just a mouthpiece. Wasn't it good to leave some leeway for both sides? Did he have to meet the king as soon as he came up?
If he really met the king as soon as he came up, Lin Yi might not necessarily get any benefits. What if Grand Elder fell out with him on the spot?
"Martial Granduncle, in this disciple's opinion, you shouldn't be in a hurry to meet with the Grand Elder. Before the two of you reach a certain tacit understanding, it's more appropriate for this disciple to run errands for you, right?" Lu Pingan composed himself and said seriously.
If the two sides wanted to sit down and talk, they at least had to confirm that both sides had the intention to negotiate first. Otherwise, when they met, they would directly flip the table. Then there would be no negotiation!
Lin Yi glanced at him, a smile that wasn't quite a smile on his face. "So what you're saying is, I'll talk to you first, and you'll tell the Grand Elder the conditions, and then he'll decide if he wants to accept it or not, and then you come here to talk terms with me.
Lu Pingan opened his mouth, wanting to correct his words, but nodded in the end. That was what he meant. Correcting the words would only make it sound better, but it wouldn't change the essence of the situation at all. He'd already thought it through, too. It didn't matter how beautiful his words were when dealing with people like Lin Yi. Lin Yi didn't play by the rules at all.
"Aren't you guys misunderstanding something?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"What?" Lu Pingan was stunned.
"In the current situation, I'm not asking you for help, but you are asking me for help, aren't you?" Lin Yi grinned leisurely.
"This …" Lu Pingan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, Deputy Sect Leader Chen's state is very worrying. Grand Supreme Elder hopes that Martial Granduncle can be magnanimous and let Deputy Sect Leader Chen go. But then again, from Martial Granduncle's point of view, I'm afraid it's better not to let anything happen to Deputy Sect Leader Chen, right?"
"Haha, from my point of view, it's just cleaning up the sect. You think too much," Lin Yi said indifferently.
"…" If it weren't for the mission that Chen Jiu had given him, Lu Pingan really wouldn't want to waste his breath here. This guy didn't have the slightest awareness or sincerity to negotiate. He was completely stubborn and stubborn. What the hell could he possibly achieve from this?
"Do you really want to fall out with the entire Green Cloud Sect of the North Island?" Lu Pingan was forced to make it clear. This kind of words should not appear in a negotiation. When it appeared, it was basically not far from the collapse of the negotiation.
"Guess." Lin Yi's answer was so irresponsible that it made people vomit blood.
Lu Pingan was about to go crazy, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "I guess you won't, because it's not good for you and the secular disciples who came with you. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for them, shouldn't you?"
"Could it be that the Grand Elder is already planning to target them?" Lin Yi, on the other hand, was surprised. He said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "The Grand Elder is a Nascent Soul master after all. I didn't expect you to have such a unique way of doing things."
Saying it was unique was actually despicable and shameless.
"This …" Lu Pingan couldn't help but choke. Even if it was really Chen Jiu's intention, he couldn't be the one to take the blame. He quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, Grand Elder doesn't mean this, and so do we. We just have to consider everything carefully, don't we?"
"Since you don't mean this, then what are you talking about? I was alarmed for a false alarm. I thought Grand Elder was going to attack them," Lin Yi said angrily.
"…" Lu Pingan really wanted to slap his face with a false alarm. The words had been very clear, and it was obvious that it was so. There was really no one who could pretend not to understand it. Couldn't they negotiate happily?!
"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and convey my meaning to Grand Elder. "Lin Yi urged.
"Ah?" Lu Pingan was dumbfounded again. They hadn't talked about anything yet. From the perspective of negotiation, it was not even a warm-up. How could it end? Speaking of which, what exactly did you mean?
"What ah? I don't have time to waste with you. Next time, remember clearly, if you really want to talk, let Grand Elder do it himself. Otherwise, I won't receive you." Lin Yi said straightforwardly.
At this point, even if Lu Pingan was thick-skinned, he couldn't stay any longer. He could only leave embarrassedly.
Back at the top of the mountain, after listening to Lu Pingan's dejected report, Chen Jiu's gloomy face suddenly became even uglier. "This old man asked you to go to test Lin Yi's bottom line and attitude. What did you find out?"
"This disciple is ashamed." Lu Pingan's face was full of shame and anger. In fact, he couldn't be blamed for not doing his job well. It was really Lin Yi's way of doing things was too wild. From the beginning to the end, there was an unsettling pattern. What should he do?!
"Hmph, then tell me yourself. What should we do next? Do you really want this old man to do it personally?" Chen Jiu snorted coldly.
"That definitely won't work. Until the last step, Master, you can't easily go out. Otherwise, you will really be led by the nose by him." Lu Pingan shook his head and said in a low voice, "Although this disciple is dejected this time, thinking about it carefully, it can't be said that I didn't gain anything. At least, I can be sure that he doesn't really want to shed all pretense of cordiality with us. Otherwise, when this disciple asked him directly, he wouldn't have avoided answering."
"This has long been expected." Chen Jiu frowned, thinking that it was impossible for Lin Yi to fall out with them even if he wanted to. If he did, then he would stay at Ascending Heaven Cliff for the rest of his life.
