Three days was not a long time, especially for people who had to choose between life and death every day. Three days was like an instant.
When the Sovereign King and Cheng Yu appeared in Clear Harmony Courtyard once again, the seven Principal Elders were already there waiting for them.
"Let's go in first!" Cheng Yu smiled lightly and took the lead to enter the central hall.
When they saw Cheng Yu directly sat on the right side of the main seat, the elders couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. Where should the Outer Prince sit? Could he sit on the guest seat?
Especially Gao Ruyuan and Wei Chenfei, they felt disdain in their hearts. This guy really treated them as an outsider.
When the Outer Prince saw Cheng Yu sitting on the main seat, it wasn't good for him to sit on the guest seat. He could only find a seat below and sit down.
"Outer Prince, sit here!" When Cheng Yu saw the Outer Prince wanted to sit on the lower seat, he spoke first.
"This … isn't appropriate?" The Outer Prince said.
The left side was not only for the guest seat, it also represented the nobility.
He was now someone who had pledged his loyalty to Cheng Yu. If Cheng Yu sat on the guest seat, he could sit on the main seat.
But now that Cheng Yu was sitting on the main seat, how could he sit on the VIP seat?
"No problem. You deserve my respect!" Cheng Yu said.
"Alright!" The Outer Prince thought for a moment and still sat on the VIP seat.
The few Main Elders didn't know what Cheng Yu was trying to do, but when they saw the Outer Prince sitting in the VIP seat, they felt much better than him sitting in the lower seats.
"Another three days have passed. Actually, I've given you more than three days. When you first came to the Gao Residence, I had already made it very clear to you.
Furthermore, when you guys lost to my formation, it was also you guys who took the initiative to pledge your loyalty to me. Am I right? "Cheng Yu looked at the few elders below him as he spoke.
The elders became silent and didn't say anything.
Back then, when they failed in the formation, they had asked Cheng Yu for help and were willing to pledge their loyalty to him.
But now that their injuries had healed, they didn't fulfill the original agreement. This was their fault.
Now that Cheng Yu had asked the Outer Prince to be their lobbyist, it could be said that he was already very respectful to them.
"I've said what I need to say. No matter what decision you make, I won't interfere. I just hope you won't regret it!" Outer King reminded.
Although he always said that he wouldn't interfere, it was obvious from his expression.
In fact, he still hoped that his old subordinates could be like him and not waste their lives in vain.
After all, in his opinion, dying like this wasn't worth it. Although they belonged to the dynasty, the dynasty wasn't worth their lives.
In the eyes of the inner court, they were nothing more than slaves who paid tribute and taxes to them.
There were many foreign dynasties that were destroyed because of a small mistake. Moreover, even if it was a dispute between the foreign dynasties, the inner court would never interfere.
Therefore, the Inner Dynasty would not interfere with the annexation and division of the various Outer Dynasties. What they truly cared about was not everyone's life and death, but the interests of their own court.
As long as the tributes weren't reduced, they wouldn't care about anything else.
It was just like when the imperial court had ordered them to deal with Cheng Yu. They had yet to figure out Cheng Yu's strength and in the end, they sent people to capture him.
What was the result?
Now, even his entire White Sun Outer Dynasty was sacrificed, but his inner court didn't send him a single soldier.
Therefore, he felt that as long as he could face his own conscience, there was no need to lose his life for such a dynasty.
Now that Cheng Yu had seized the White Sun Outer Dynasty, but he didn't kill them, this was an opportunity.
Who was it not to be loyal to?
As long as he could survive, it didn't matter who he was loyal to.
Of course, at least he saw more sincerity from Cheng Yu than from the dynasty.
For example, when he was seriously injured, Cheng Yu took out a few dozen years old heavenly treasures the next day. If it was his master, would he be willing to pay such a price?
In his opinion, the possibility was too low.
Therefore, from this point of view, it seemed more worthwhile to work for Cheng Yu.
If he could really resist the dynasty's army in the future and ensure their safety, that would be even better.
Obviously, everyone understood the meaning behind the Outer King's words. However, in the past three days, everyone must have considered it very clearly.
"Now, let's hear your choice." Cheng Yu said.
You saved my life, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you Wei Qianrou was the first to speak.
I didn't save you to make you pledge your loyalty to me, but I promised you that if you were in danger, I would save you. Cheng Yu said indifferently.
No matter why you saved me, you saved my life anyway, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you Wei Qianrou said stubbornly.
In fact, she had already decided on this outcome. Even three days ago, she said the same thing.
Alright, at least you made the wisest decision Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled.
Although the reason was simple, it could be seen that Wei Qianrou was a person who valued kindness.
Such a straightforward person could even be paid more attention to in the future, but he had to observe her first.
Who could be sure that this straightforwardness of hers wasn't an act?
What about the others? Cheng Yu looked at the others and asked.
"May I ask you a question first?" Luo Keya asked.
Go ahead.
If we pledge our loyalty to you, will we really still be Principal Elders? At that time, will the Outer King be in charge of us, or you? Luo Keya asked.
This seems to be two questions, right? Cheng Yu smiled.
Then you can choose not to answer Luo Keya said helplessly.
If I don't answer, how can you sincerely pledge your loyalty to me? Cheng Yu paused and continued, Three days ago, the Outer King should have told you that in order to protect you and all of us, the White Sun Outer Dynasty will be handed over to you untouched.
So, all I want is your loyalty. You made a Heavenly Dao Blood Oath to give me a guarantee that you won't betray me.
It is precisely because of this that the White Sun Outer Dynasty will still be under your control in the future, and we will not interfere too much.
However, this does not mean that we will not interfere at all.
After all, the White Sun Outer Dynasty will no longer be a power of the dynasty, but will belong to me.
As for the Outer King and me, who should you listen to? Right now, you definitely have to listen to me, but after I leave the White Sun Outer Dynasty, you will naturally have to listen to the Outer King.
