"How did the negotiations go?" The great hall of the Royal Palace trembled unceasingly as an immense might radiated out from within. This caused the various elders outside to be extremely worried.
Once the negotiations collapsed, the Dragonblood Empire would start a massacre without regard for anything else. Their hearts trembled at the thought of the tens of thousands of fierce Dragonblood generals below.
"Hey, Emma, do you think our father will betroth us to Chen Jiu?" Shangguan Zhiruo suddenly asked.
"What? Stop daydreaming, our father would never do such a lowly thing! "Emma rolled her eyes at him.
"Is that so? Once Chen Jiu overpowers their authority, wouldn't they use us to curry favor with him in exchange for benefits? "Shangguan Zhiruo asked again.
"You little slut, don't tell me you've really taken a fancy to Chen Jiu? Why do you look like you can't wait to enter his imperial palace and become his concubine? But let me tell you, if you want to go, you go. I'm not going to join that group of women and get jealous. What's the point of that? "Emma clearly refused.
"No, I've never taken a fancy to him. I'm just worried about our father. You have to know that men these days are unreliable. Even our father isn't safe!" Shangguan Zhiruo stuck out her tongue but didn't admit anything.
Ever since Chen Jiu had played with her to her heart's content, her feelings for him had become somewhat special. Moreover, she seemed to have missed that feeling again these days!
Therefore, unconsciously, Shangguan Zhiruo easily thought in that direction. She couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if she married him.
In the main hall, Chen Jiu, who was completely oblivious to the fact that he had already won the heart of a budding young girl, was in high spirits as he negotiated with the Dean of the Four Divine Academies.
"Emperor?" Faced with Chen Jiu's inquiry, the faces of the Four Divine Academies' Deans were still somewhat unsightly. "After the emperor is crowned, all the people will be united. Boundless faith and fortune will converge into one body. How will our Divine Academies continue to live?"
"How will we live? Didn't you all not care about them in the past? Why are you all concerned now? "Chen Jiu sneered disdainfully.
Wang Wuchang and the others looked at each other and couldn't help but raise their opinions again. "This … Alright, we can ignore the matter of you becoming an emperor, but you can't hinder us from entering the Divine Land to recruit people. You have to open the door for us!"
"After the household registration, I'll welcome any Divine Academies who haven't committed any crimes!" Chen Jiu's conditions's conditions.
"Good …!" The Four Deans had no choice but to agree.
It couldn't be helped. His fist wasn't as big as the other party's. Naturally, he would be in a very passive position in the negotiation. As long as it didn't touch the core interests, it would be very smooth.
Chen Jiu cared about the well-being of the people, while the Four Deans cared about the source of students. In fact, their needs didn't conflict with each other. Therefore, the matter of negotiation was quickly settled verbally. Neither side had any objections.
"Ha ha, I knew that the Four Deans were wise. In the future, we'll all be supreme figures in the Divine Land. For the sake of the people's happiness, we have to get closer and exchange opinions. What do you all think?" Chen Jiu didn't regard himself as an outsider in the end and started to get close to the Deans.
"Well said, well said, as long as you don't make things difficult for us in the future!" The Deans had no choice but to be polite to Chen Jiu.
"Of course not, everyone. To show our sincerity, let's go out hand in hand!" Chen Jiu said as he reached for Loy's hand. She had a complicated expression on her face.
She glanced at Chen Jiu. He didn't resist. He had just been chased out by her, yet he had already established an empire and taken away her position as the leader of the Divine Land. This was simply too overbearing. Loy didn't like it, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"Don't touch me!" Suddenly, she felt a dirty hand. "Dirty big hand pulled towards her other hand, and Luo Yi immediately scolded in dissatisfaction.
"Uh, I … Why can he hold her hand, but I can't?" Wang Wuchang was so sullen that he was too ashamed to face anyone.
"Wang Wuchang, Chen Jiu and Loy are from the same Academy. How can you compare to them?" Shangguan Zheng explained as he looked at Loy with a smile, hoping to get a chance to hold her hand.
Unfortunately, Loy's stern expression and stern gaze made him return empty-handed. He didn't dare act presumptuously.
"Loy, we haven't seen each other in a long time. How have you been?" iPhone's attempt to curry favor sounded more like sarcasm. Naturally, Loy didn't respond.
Shangguan Zheng had no choice but to hold Chen Jiu's hand, iPhone's hand on the other, and Wang Wuchang's hand on the last. The five spiritual leaders of the Divine Land held hands as they walked out of the palace in a seemingly friendly manner.
"This … The world is at peace!" When everyone saw the five of them, they realized that their negotiations hadn't broken down. Instead, they had successfully resolved all their conflicts and there was no need to fight anymore!
The friendly scene of the five of them holding hands was quickly memorized and spread to the world, explaining the current peace and prosperity.
After some pleasantries in front of the crowd, Chen Jiu held a three-day banquet. He invited all the Academies to eat and drink to discuss some details.
"Father, you didn't sell me to him, did you?" Shangguan Zhi Ruo asked during this time, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Three days later, all the conditions had been negotiated. At this time, the Academy Heads also brought their own people and returned to their respective Academies.
"That damned Chen Jiu! How dare he not take a fancy to me? What kind of taste is that? Hmph! Fortunately, you didn't bring it up. Otherwise, I would have rejected you in front of everyone! "Shangguan Zhi Ruo returned to her Princess Palace, feeling disappointed and resentful.
A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. She wanted to be pursued by Chen Jiu, but she didn't want to accept his advances. She didn't know what to do.
In the Qian Kun Divine Courtyard, Loy brought her people back with mixed feelings. She didn't know whether her trip had been successful or not.
Chen Jiu was a man that Loy found harder and harder to let go of. After driving him out, she hoped that he would achieve something, but it was difficult for her to accept his current glory. It was really difficult to understand her thoughts.
"What happened to the Qian Kun Divine Staff?" However, Loy was more concerned about the Qian Kun Divine Staff. Because it hadn't appeared, she had been embarrassed in front of the Academy Heads. This had directly led to Chen Jiu's rise in power and made them very passive.
