The guards guarding the entrance to Ancient Pine grotto-heaven promptly reported the situation to Patriarch Pine Crane and asked for instructions on how to deal with the situation.
Patriarch Pine Crane guessed that the person they were waiting for had arrived when he heard the description of the guards. He immediately ordered them to be let in.
As for the experts who had arrived at Ancient Pine grotto-heaven, they were led by the Pine Crane guards to the meeting hall after entering the grotto-heaven.
The attitude of the Pine Crane clan was neither warm nor indifferent. It was neither warm nor distant.
In short, they let the experts wait in the meeting hall first. After serving them tea and fruits, they waited patiently.
The experts who had arrived first saw the arrogant attitude of the Pine Crane clan and felt uncomfortable, but they did not dare to act out.
After all, their visit to Ancient Pine grotto-heaven was of great significance. Their mission was sacred and difficult.
Before they met that world-renowned expert, they could tolerate any form of contempt and neglect.
As time passed quietly, the tea in front of the experts was refilled after they drank it. When it was cold, they reheated it again.
After a full six hours, the eight experts of the four forces had all arrived.
They sat on the large chairs on the left and right sides. They all looked at each other with tacit understanding.
Although everyone had disguised themselves and covered their faces, they were too familiar with each other. They could recognize each other even with their eyes closed.
Finally, someone could not help but speak.
"I was the first to arrive. I waited for a full six hours. Not only did Song Hetao not show up, but even the elders of the Pine Crane clan could not be seen.
The Pine Crane clan is so arrogant now. How dare they neglect and neglect us … Hmph. "
After saying that, the patriarch snorted coldly.
The other two patriarchs had the same idea, but their reactions were not as intense. They shook their heads with smiles.
"Brother Qianlong, you're wrong. We all know that the old man Song Hetao is rather stubborn. He's a stubborn man.
With his personality, he might not do such an arrogant act to humiliate us. "
"That's right. Maybe Song Hetao just wants to wait for us to arrive before meeting and discussing with everyone. This is more appropriate.
If someone came first and someone else came later, and Song Hetao met them separately for a secret talk, wouldn't we be at odds with each other and suspect each other? "
Even though the two clan leaders were somewhat dissatisfied with the Pine Crane race's cold response, they were still quite dissatisfied with the Pine Crane race.
However, they were smarter and more tactful, so they would definitely not reveal the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
This was because they were on guard against Patriarch Song He observing them from the shadows.
What was even more frightening was that if Kenshin was really in the Ancient Pine Grotto, then he would already be watching them from the shadows. Rashly placing the Pine Crane Tribe chief would inevitably provoke Kenshin's displeasure.
Anyway, the Kenshin had already subdued the Pine Crane Tribe. Song Hetao was more fortunate as he was the first to submit to the Kenshin, so he would definitely be highly regarded.
They could only be envious and jealous, but there was nothing they could do.
All he could do was to be more meticulous and try his best to please Kenshin.
On the surface, the four clans seemed to be harmonious, but they all had their own thoughts and plans.
None of the leaders of the ancient clans were easy to deal with.
After arguing for a while, the three patriarchs calmed their anger and waited patiently.
…
Meanwhile.
Patriarch Song He had already gone to Ji Tianxing's residence to ask for instructions in person.
In the study, Patriarch Song He bowed slightly and respectfully said, "Reporting to Sir Kenshin, the patriarchs of the four clans have each brought an Elder into the Conference Hall.
Look, they're all here. Shouldn't we … "
At this point, Patriarch Song He stopped talking and quietly looked at Ji Tianxing, waiting for him to make a decision.
Ji Tianxing was reclining on an armchair, flipping through an ancient scroll.
Hearing this, he put down the simple and yellow scroll, rubbed his chin, and said with an indifferent expression, "Some of them have been waiting for six hours, so they must have some resentment in their hearts.
Since that's the case, let's let them drink tea for another six hours to cool down. "
"Huh?" Patriarch Song He was stunned and looked at Ji Tianxing with a puzzled expression, saying, "Sir Kenshin, this … this isn't very good, is it?
Besides, they know you're here. So what if they wait for six hours? They definitely won't dare to have any resentment towards you! "
Ji Tianxing glanced at him and asked with a smile, "They still aren't sure whether I'm in Ancient Pine Paradise or not, so how could they have any resentment towards me?
You, on the other hand, can apologize to them when you see them later. Otherwise, they will definitely slander you behind your back. "
Patriarch Song He was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Thank you for your reminder, Sir Kenshin! This old man didn't intend to neglect or make things difficult for them. I just wanted to wait for them to arrive and then meet them to discuss things together. Only then would it be fair.
This old man didn't think too much and didn't think that it would have such an effect … "
Indeed, with Kenshin overseeing Ancient Pine Paradise, how could Patriarch Song He dare to act unscrupulously and make things difficult for and humiliate the patriarchs of the four ancient clans?
He would only be more cautious when handling matters and considering problems, for fear of making a mistake that would affect Kenshin's plan.
However, he had neglected the psychological reactions of the four patriarchs and only understood the key point after Kenshin's reminder.
However, Kenshin had just said that the four patriarchs should wait for six hours.
Wasn't this deliberately making things difficult and neglecting them?
Patriarch Song He couldn't refute it, let alone disobey the order.
He still had to take the blame for Kenshin and bear the resentment of the four clans.
The four clans couldn't afford to offend Kenshin, but couldn't they afford to offend him?
Thus, he could only smile bitterly.
Ji Tianxing no longer paid attention to him and continued to read the ancient scroll.
Patriarch Song He felt awkward staying in the study and couldn't find anything to do.
Thus, he bid farewell to Ji Tianxing and left the study.
After walking out of Ji Tianxing's residence, Patriarch Song He recalled Ji Tianxing's reminder and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"That's right, Sir Kenshin told them to wait for six hours before showing up, but he didn't say that I can't go see them!
I can go and explain to those old fellows first so that they won't blame me. When the time comes for them to form an alliance, they'll join forces to make things difficult for me … "
Based on the current situation, Patriarch Song He felt that Kenshin was the first to subdue him and would definitely value him the most.
After Kenshin subdued the other four clans, the Rebel Alliance would be officially established.
At that time, Patriarch Song He would definitely be the leader of the five clans.
In other words, Kenshin would have to go to other continents after conquering Reincarnation Island.
In that case, Reincarnation Island would most likely be handed over to him to manage.
However, if the other four clans joined forces to trap him and deliberately resist him, then it would be hard to say.
For Kenshin, stability and efficiency were the most important.
For the sake of the overall situation, it was natural to sacrifice him, Patriarch Song He.
Thinking of this, Patriarch Song He shuddered and hurried to the conference hall.
