Xiao Chen didn't show up immediately. It wasn't because he was putting on airs or anything, but because the Sword Sect wanted to express their attitude towards the Black Emperor Sect.
In the cave, Xiao Chen was cultivating alone. Tomorrow, Xiao Chen would go back to see Zhao Chenfeng. Tonight, he would let Cang Xing and Lin Qing deal with it.
Cang Xing, Lin Qing, and Zhao Chenfeng drank until late at night. In the end, Zhao Chenfeng even stayed in Cang Xing's cave. This could be considered giving Zhao Chenfeng face.
As for why Xiao Chen didn't show up today, Zhao Chenfeng was very clear in his heart, so he didn't ask much.
He understood that the relationship between the Black Emperor Sect and the Sword Sect had changed. If it was said that both sides were in a state of strength before, then now, the Sword Sect and the Black Emperor Sect were on equal footing.
Neither side was afraid of the other. Of course, neither side wanted to start a war. As a result, both sides were on equal footing.
And since they were on equal footing, then as the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen naturally wasn't someone that Zhao Chenfeng could meet. After all, Zhao Chenfeng was only one of the Four Great Princes of the Black Emperor Sect. He wasn't the Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect. His status wasn't on the same level as Xiao Chen.
His mentality had already changed. He couldn't treat the Sword Sect with the same attitude as before. That method wouldn't work anymore.
After a night of silence, around noon the next day, Xiao Chen met Zhao Chenfeng in the Sword Sect's main hall.
Sitting on the main seat, Zhao Chenfeng took the initiative to bow when he saw Xiao Chen. "Greetings, Sect Master Xiao Chen."
"Tiger King, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Hearing this, Xiao Chen said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
After Zhao Chenfeng took his seat, Xiao Chen said, "Tiger King, what brings you to the Sword Sect?"
"The Sword Sect has been promoted to a first-rate force. This time, I am here on Sect Master He Sui's orders to congratulate you. At the same time, I also wish to send Sect Master He Sui's regards to Sect Master Xiao Chen. Sect Master He Sui said that he hopes that the Sword Sect and the Black Emperor Sect can become friends." Hearing Xiao Chen's question, Zhao Chenfeng honestly replied.
Zhao Chenfeng had indeed come here to express his goodwill to the Sword Sect. He also hoped that the Sword Sect and the Black Emperor Sect could become friends in the future.
After all, the two sects were so close to each other. Once they started fighting, the one who would benefit would only be the other party. It would not benefit either side at all. Moreover, the Sword Sect and the Black Emperor Sect had some enmity before. But now, the Black Emperor Sect hoped that Xiao Chen would turn hostility into friendship.
Zhao Chenfeng's words were very sincere. Hearing this, Cang Xing and Lin Qing, who were accompanying him, looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that after this battle, the Black Emperor Sect had completely seen the strength of the Sword Sect. They knew that the current Sword Sect could no longer be bullied by others.
Just like Cang Xing and Lin Qing, a hint of a smile flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes when he heard Zhao Chenfeng's words. He then smiled and said, "Sect Master He Sui is too kind."
"I'll have to trouble Tiger King to pass a message to Sect Master He Sui. Just say that the Sword Sect and the Black Emperor Sect will always be friends. In the future, if the Black Emperor Sect needs any help, my Sword Sect will definitely not stand by and watch."
The Black Emperor Sect did not wish to have any more conflicts with the Sword Sect. Similarly, Xiao Chen did not wish for the Sword Sect to have any more conflicts with the Black Emperor Sect. After all, although the current Sword Sect was not afraid of the Black Emperor Sect, if they really fought, both sects would suffer losses. This was not what He Sui wanted to see, nor was it what Xiao Chen wanted to see.
They had the same thoughts in their hearts. Therefore, Xiao Chen also used this opportunity to express his attitude towards the Black Emperor Sect.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, a strange look flashed across Zhao Chenfeng's eyes. Xiao Chen was willing to let bygones be bygones and reconcile with the Black Emperor Sect so straightforwardly. This indeed surprised Zhao Chenfeng. At the same time, he also unconsciously looked at Xiao Chen in a higher light.
At such a young age, Xiao Chen's Cheng Mansion caused Zhao Chenfeng to involuntarily exclaim in admiration.
It had to be known that the reason he was able to have such an imposing manner of dismissing grudges with a smile was not because Xiao Chen or the Sword Sect were easy to bully. It was completely because Xiao Chen was looking at the big picture and did not want to have too much meaningless entanglement with the Black Emperor Sect.
And this kind of thinking was exactly what He Sui had in his heart. However, He Sui had lived for so many years, and Xiao Chen had only lived for so many years. However, in terms of mental state, Xiao Chen did not seem to be much weaker than He Sui. At the very least, as the head of a sect, Xiao Chen was very qualified.
He did not make things difficult for Xiao Chen in the slightest. He did not even mention anything about what had happened before, as if he had already forgotten about it.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Chenfeng immediately stood up and bowed again. "Sect Master Xiao Chen, I will definitely report your words to my Sect Master."
"Haha, that's good. Yesterday, I was unable to have a drink with the Tiger King. Today, the Tiger King must stay. You and I should have a few drinks." Hearing this, Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Facing Xiao Chen's invitation, Zhao Chenfeng tactfully declined, "Sect Master is too polite. There are still many things that I need to deal with in the Black Emperor Sect, so I won't stay any longer. In the future, I will definitely have a drink with Sect Master."
Zhao Chenfeng could naturally tell that Xiao Chen was just being polite. Facing Zhao Chenfeng's rejection, Xiao Chen did not insist and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I won't force you."
Originally, Xiao Chen was just being polite. Since Zhao Chenfeng had rejected him, it was fine.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhao Chenfeng prepared to leave with his people. Of course, before leaving, Zhao Chenfeng also took out the congratulatory gift prepared by the Black Emperor Sect.
He didn't even bother to look at it. Xiao Chen knew that the congratulatory gift given by the Black Emperor Sect couldn't be that valuable. It was just for show.
Xiao Chen was right. The congratulatory gift given by the Black Emperor Sect was indeed not anything valuable. There were even many of them that Xiao Chen had given to the Black Emperor Sect as compensation for the battle ten years ago. Now, the Black Emperor Sect had returned them untouched.
When Zhao Chenfeng left, Cang Xing personally sent him off. As for Xiao Chen, it was obviously impossible for him to personally send Zhao Chenfeng off.
Zhao Chenfeng's arrival as a representative of the Black Emperor Sect meant that the relationship between the Sword Sect and the Black Emperor Sect would be eased for a long time. At the very least, based on the current situation, neither side wanted to start a war.
This way, Xiao Chen could use most of his energy to deal with other matters, such as the matter of the Wuzhou.
Although the Wuzhou had already become the territory of the Sword Sect with the surrender of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they had only just taken over. The Sword Sect's control over the Wuzhou was actually very weak. There were even many forces within the Wuzhou that didn't listen to the Sword Sect.
Therefore, the matter of the Wuzhou needed to be resolved as soon as possible. Xiao Chen didn't want anything to happen in his backyard.
Completely controlling the Wuzhou was the most important and important task of the Sword Sect. They had to stabilize and control the Wuzhou in a short period of time.
