"Oh, what do you think?" This was exactly what Li Qingshan wanted. Although he didn't know much about politics, he could still motivate his subordinates.
"Such a powerful weapon should be in the hands of Sir North Moon himself. How can he just give it to someone else?" the old woman said. She had a fierce expression that said, "If I can't have it, no one else can."
"This was entrusted to me by Sir North Moon. How dare you question it?" Ye Mingzhu immediately retorted. She had already said the words "Sir North Moon" very smoothly.
"You're right. However, I don't have the habit of taking back what I've given. If that's the case, you can take turns wielding the helm. However, it'll depend on your performance. "
Between Li Qingshan's words, Ye Mingzhu was first surprised, then delighted, and then worried. The matriarchs, on the other hand, felt a sense of hope. It seemed that he hadn't been bewitched by Ye Mingzhu. As long as he displayed enough loyalty, he would receive a corresponding reward.
He didn't dare to have any thoughts of half-heartedly responding to Li Qingshan's three orders. Otherwise, his clan would be surpassed by the other clans and fall into decline even without him personally taking action.
"From the looks of it, Mingzhu's performance is the best. She'll wield the helm for now." Li Qingshan stood up and arrived beside Ye Mingzhu. He patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"Thank you for your trust, Sir North Moon."
"Liubo, this is your reward." Li Qingshan took out a bright yellow satin. This was a supreme quality spiritual artifact he'd obtained from the Golden Pheasant Elder's hundred treasures pouch.
"Thank you, master!" Ye Liubo was extremely excited. Seeing the situation, she didn't throw herself at him and give him a kiss.
The matriarchs were even more envious. This was a powerful weapon that could only be forged by humans, yet it was given to a servant so casually. No, his two servants were both Ye Mingzhu's daughters. If this continued, it would be very disadvantageous to them in the long run. They were all thinking the same thing.
Li Qingshan's gaze swept across the six matriarchs. "Now that there is chaos, I hope that all of you can put aside your past disputes and work together to pledge loyalty to Lady Spider Queen. If they were still like a plate of loose sand, fighting endlessly. They will definitely be destroyed by humans. "
"Yes." The matriarchs accepted the order and left.
"Master, can I change my reward?" Ye Liubo immediately stuck close to him and giggled.
"What? You don't like it?"
"I like it, I like it very much, but I want you more, Master." Ye Liubo licked her lips. Her hand reached into his clothes and slid under his body to grab something. His eyes were misty and filled with sorrow.
"Go to the side and play. If I give it to you just because you say you want it, wouldn't I lose face?" Li Qingshan unhappily pushed her away. Lustful to such an extent, it was simply insane. If he let her touch him a little longer … If there was a change, his face would not look good.
As she watched Ye Liubo play around with the bright yellow brocade happily, Ye Liusu felt rather disappointed for some reason. Suddenly, she made up her mind and went up. "Sir North Moon. Please promise me one thing! "
"What is it?"
Li Qingshan was rather curious. Ever since Ye Liusu became his servant, she had remained silent obediently. She would do whatever he wanted her to do, but she was as serious as a robot, refusing to lower her head to please him. She really did seem a little like a "princess". It was rare for her to take the initiative like this.
"Please protect the night roamers and lead them back beneath the starry sky. As long as you promise me this, I'm willing to serve you wholeheartedly. I'll be loyal to you and serve you, just like Liubo. " Ye Liusu's delicate face was filled with determination. She had always worked hard on cultivation for the sake of the revival of the night roamers, but her future had always been bleak. His appearance seemed to bring her a sliver of hope. Perhaps she had been influenced by Liubo, but she now believed a little that as long as he was willing, he really could change everything.
"Sister …" Ye Liubo was rather surprised too.
"Even if you turn your back on the Spider Shadow clan?" Li Qingshan smiled in thought. The more he understood the night roamers, the more he found Ye Liusu's personality to be strange. Her eyes were filled with a determination that was almost unwavering. She did not possess the darkness of regular night roamers at all. Perhaps in every tribe, there would be one or two freaks!
"Yes." Ye Liusu gritted her teeth. Sorry, mother. This is for the sake of the night roamers.
"Are these clansmen really worth it for you to do this? I'm guessing most of them are jealous of you and want to kill you. "
"It's this underground world that has twisted their personalities. We believe night roamers aren't like that in the first place. As long as they break free from … control."
"That's a very impressive idea. I'm very tempted, but I refuse!"
"Why?" Although she had guessed this might happen, the degree of disappointment still exceeded Ye Liusu's expectations.
"Because you've got the order wrong. I will give you loyalty in return, but I won't do anything in exchange for someone's loyalty. I'll only do what I want to do. You can help me or watch from the side. There's no other choice."
Ye Liusu returned to her original position and fell silent.
Li Qingshan returned to his state of cultivation, but before long, he jerked awake again. The masters sent by the clans had arrived much faster than he had imagined.
The first to arrive were ten beautiful female night roamers. They were either cool, gentle, or sweet. Even among night roamers, their appearances were the cream of the crop. Coupled with their sexy attire, it was like a beauty pageant. They did not just possess beauty, but great strength too. Every single one of them had undergone the heavenly tribulation. They were noble princesses of their respective clans.
After reporting their names and offering up the spiritual herbs, they actually lowered their arrogant heads, expressing that they were willing to leave their clans and serve Li Qingshan as their master.
Li Qingshan could not help but smile. Were these matriarchs trying to express that they could give him whatever the Spider Shadow clan could give him? As for just how loyal these princesses were, he did not hold any expectations at all. They looked at him like they wanted to eat him. Not only did they covet his "beauty", but they also wanted to obtain something from him.
In the eyes of these princesses, Ye Liubo was nothing. She had just gotten a little lucky. Since even she could receive a supreme grade spiritual artifact as a reward, why couldn't he?
"Master." Ye Liubo felt extremely threatened, grabbing Li Qingshan's arm subconsciously. Ye Liusu sighed deeply instead. It was no wonder he did not take her seriously. Everything she could offer up was of no importance to him.
"Alright, I agree. From today onwards, all of you will be my personal guards." Li Qingshan did not refuse. The clans needed to be equal and balanced, and he also needed a team that he could directly command. To be able to obtain such a group of personal guards was probably the dream of every man!
"Liusu, you will be their captain." Li Qingshan continued.
Ye Liusu was stunned for a moment, and those proud princesses immediately objected: "Why?" "We should have a competition."
Li Qingshan did not care so much and directly said: "I am going to start cultivating. Disperse!"
Li Qingshan closed his eyes, and the cave became quiet again. He then opened his eyes: "Liusu, why are you not leaving?"
"Why me? In your eyes, I am nothing at all. "Ye Liusu asked in confusion.
"Because you are very special."
"It's madness!" Ye Liusu's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head, and her lips curled into a bitter smile. "Mother said that if I were born in a regular family of night roamers, I wouldn't have such a crazy idea.
"All dreams, at the beginning, seem so crazy. I might be a daemon, but I don't dislike people with dreams and pursuits. "Li Qingshan smiled.
"Then why won't you agree?"
"Liubo has only entrusted her to herself, but you want to entrust far, far too much. You can't bear it yourself, so you want to dump it on someone else and live a relaxed life?"
"No." Ye Liusu explained.
"I have no interest in being a mediator for a group of women, but perhaps your ideas can influence them and make them work for you. I've already given you the opportunity, so do it! I don't know whether you can succeed or not either, but if there really is a day when night roamers can live under the stars again, no longer having to scheme and kill one another, it will definitely be because of you, not me. "
Ye Liusu's emotions surged. For the first time, she understood Ye Liubo's feelings a little. Ever since she was young, no one had ever said something like that to her. No one had ever encouraged her like that, agreed with her ideas, or supported her like that.
When Li Qingshan defeated Strong Stone and Blood Shadow consecutively, she only admired his strength and strategy. But now that she heard what he said, she actually felt like she could not meet his gaze. Her mind that had been unwavering from many years of arduous cultivation began to ripple slightly.
Li Qingshan shook his head gently. Sure enough, idealists were the easiest to fool. Originally, he preferred Ye Liubo for the position of captain of the guards, but Ye Liubo's cultivation was too weak, and her temperament was lacking too. In comparison, Ye Liusu's qualities were much better. At the very least, she had the bearing of a leader, and she was relatively pure and easy to control. At the very least, she would not look at him greedily.
However, Ye Liusu was far too unmotivated. Becoming his servant seemed to be a great blow to her. As a result, he came up with this excuse. It was not all a bluff. If Ye Liusu could really grasp this opportunity, she could indeed do many things.
Ye Liusu arrived outside the cave and pressed her hand against her chest. She could still feel her heart beating heavily. She had no idea whether it was because of what he said, or because of him.
"Master really is impressive. You can actually make someone as pure and desireless as me fall for you." Ye Liubo walked over from the side with a smile.
"Xiu's nonsense. Let's go." Ye Liusu's face brightened before recovering her cold demeanor. She pulled Ye Liubo away. Now was not the time to think about something like this.
"What are we doing?"
"Since they want to compete, I'll compete with them." Ye Liusu was in high spirits. This was an unprecedented opportunity. She had to grasp it.
Under the setting sun, the sky was dyed red. A green figure appeared in front of a cave that led underground.
Fu Qingjin stood with his sword on his back. He was exhausted. However, when he drew the Green Ruins sword, his eyes shone brightly, and he turned into a streak of green light, shooting into the pitch-black cave.
If negotiations failed, only death awaited!
