As the old guys from the Martial Art Alliance insisted on their so-called pride, the negotiations soon reached an impasse. Although the military promised to give them some compensation, if the Martial Art Alliance did not give them any face, the compensation would at most be a token gesture. It would not be easy for the major sects to have a good year.
"F * ck! What a bunch of bastards who still want to maintain their chastity! " Jiang Fei cursed in his heart. He could not stand it anymore. The old guys from both sides were bragging, but there was no progress in the negotiations.
Jiang Fei was not the only one who was anxious. The young martial artists who came with their elders were also anxious. They were still young and did not really mind cooperating with the military. They only cared about the fact that they had been eating dry buns for two weeks!
However, those old guys were not as practical as these young people. They cared about their pride and were afraid of being cursed for eternity. Therefore, they were very cautious about cooperating with the imperial court.
"This is so troublesome!" After two or three hours, Jiang Fei could not stand it anymore. At this rate, they would be talking for days and nights. Did Jiang Fei have to waste his time with them?
Although Jiang Fei wanted the Martial Art Alliance to do him a favor, he did not intend to waste his life with these old guys.
"How about this, I'll say something." Jiang Fei finally took the initiative to interrupt.
"Okay, brother Jiang, say something!" When Bai Wanli saw that Jiang Fei had taken the initiative to interrupt, he was relieved.
Although these martial artists cared about their pride, they were really reluctant to give up the military's resources. Now, although the major sects could barely make ends meet, they basically did not have meat. The most terrible thing was that some of the equipment and resources for martial arts training were almost used up.
Without enough food to replenish their physical strength, and without good equipment and weapons, how could they practice martial arts? Therefore, the major sects were not in a good situation. However, for the sake of their pride, they had to grit their teeth and endure it. Now that Jiang Fei had spoken, the leaders of the major sects all looked at Jiang Fei, hoping that he could break the stalemate.
"Tsk …" Jiang Fei glanced at these guys and sneered disdainfully in his heart. How could he not know what these old guys were thinking? They definitely wanted him to be the "scapegoat" again.
However, Jiang Fei did not mind being made a scapegoat. He did not have the arrogance of a martial artist, and he did not mind cooperating with the military. Therefore, he did not mind being accused of colluding with the imperial court at all.
"How about this? Isn't Green Willow Heights near the Imperial Capital? The military will provide some money to help the Martial Art Alliance build Green Willow Heights. Then, the Martial Art Alliance will move their base to Green Willow Heights. We'll talk about the rest later."
"Sure!" The military representative immediately nodded. Although Jiang Fei's proposal did not involve the Martial Art Alliance to help defend the military base, the two were basically neighbors. If the Androids attacked the military, would the martial artists just sit back and do nothing?
Although the ultimate goal of the military was to integrate with the Martial Art Alliance, they were also aware of the habits of these martial artists. It was impossible to change their attitudes in a short period of time. Therefore, the military wanted to slowly change the attitude of the martial artists, especially the young martial artists, towards the country through this step-by-step method.
After all, the young martial artists were not as old-fashioned as the old guys. Although they currently had very little influence on the Martial Art Alliance, one day when the old guys were dead, these young martial artists would naturally be more willing to cooperate with the country after they gained power.
Although a few decades or even a hundred years might be a long time for a person, it was completely possible for a country to wait!
As for attracting those young martial artists, these politicians had their ways. Fame, wealth, power, alcohol, and women were all things that the country could provide. As for individuals, those who were immune to these six things had already become extinct in the primitive communist society.
Therefore, as long as the martial artists were willing to put down their arrogance and have in-depth exchanges with the country, these politicians were not worried at all that the martial artists could continue to maintain this glorious and isolated attitude.
"This is a good idea, but …" Ganyang Zhenren frowned. In fact, Jiang Fei's idea was quite in line with the intentions of these martial artists. They also knew that if they did not give in at all, the military would not provide them with too many resources.
However, if they took the initiative to cooperate with the military, they would not be able to put down their pride. Jiang Fei's proposal was the best. The martial artists would only live next to the military and not work for the government. If they were invaded by foreign enemies, it would be natural for China to resist the foreign enemies together. This way, the Martial Art Alliance would not only have resources but also pride.
However, the reason why Ganyang Zhenren hesitated was that Green Willow Heights was gone! When the Androids rebelled, they were the first victims. In order to eliminate hidden dangers, the Androids first attacked Green Willow Heights before attacking the military base.
As the strongest person in Green Willow Heights, although Ding Tianqing had advanced to the pinnacle of Level 4 with Jiang Fei's potions, he was still faced with thousands of Androids. Although the Androids did not have Level 5 strength at that time, Ding Tianqing still died on the battlefield in order to cover the retreat of his disciples.
Later, when Han Tianyu smuggled the small and medium-sized sects, there were actually only a few people left in Green Willow Heights who were lodged in the encampment of other sects. The other disciples had died and escaped without a trace. Even Ding Tianqing's daughter, Ding Menghan, was missing.
"It's that bad?" Jiang Fei was also shocked after listening to Ganyang Zhenren's story. Although Han Tianyu had mentioned to him before that Green Willow Heights had suffered heavy losses, Jiang Fei did not expect it to be to this extent.
Jiang Fei established communication with Han Tianyu on the spot. After confirming, he found out that the entire Green Willow Heights was now left with only Han Tianyu's master, Mao Gongsui, in charge. Although Han Tianyu had taken care of his master a lot, Green Willow Heights was still in a situation where there were only a few people left.
"Now that we can't even find the people from the Ding family, how are we going to rebuild Green Willow Heights?" Bai Wanli sighed. His tone was full of sorrow.
"That's right, that's right …" The other martial artists all nodded in agreement. Martial artists valued inheritance the most, and a sect like the Green Willow Mountain Villa had been passed down from generation to generation by the Ding Clan. If they rebuilt the Green Willow Mountain Villa in the name of an outsider, it would be unjustifiable.
"If that's the case, can't we move the other sects here?" Jiang Fei frowned. He did not want to cause too much trouble. He simply wanted to earn a favor. If the matter was too troublesome, he did not want to get involved.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble!" At that moment, Zhu Tianfei suddenly separated the crowd and walked out.
