Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Everyone's heart was lifted...
Everyone's heart was lifted.
They were very worried that Li Hanshuang would suddenly get angry. After all, it was well known that Li Hanshuang had a bad temper.
He has such great military power and such a high status, there is no need for him to be polite to anyone. Naturally, he will make trouble for anyone he dislikes until he is satisfied.
But now, it is neither the occasion nor the time to cause trouble, and Li Baili's fighting power and status are not inferior to Li Hanshuang.
If they really cause trouble, no one knows what the outcome will be, but it will not be a good thing for small fry like them.
So they all secretly prayed that Li Hanshuang would not lose his temper.
Li Hanshuang's face looked very ugly, but his face had been very ugly since Li Baili appeared, so it was not a big problem.
He stared at Li Baili for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you very much. It seems that I really need to keep this identity well, otherwise, I won't even dare to speak."
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that he was not only not angry, but also could say thank you.
If it were any other time, he would never be so tolerant.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Baili with awe.
He is worthy of being the Lord of Demons!
Not only is his status remarkable, but even being able to tolerate people with bad tempers is remarkable.
Could it be that he really has some special abilities?
Li Qinglian looked at this and that, remaining silent.
That strange feeling came back.
He had an inexplicable feeling that Li Hanshuang's smile was not to respond in a sarcastic way, but for some other purpose. He had not yet figured out what that meant.
But it certainly doesn’t mean ordinary!
However, Li Hanshuang never drew his sword despite such violent emotional fluctuations, and Li Baili never got angry despite being humiliated repeatedly. From this point of view, how can they not be a good match?
Li Baili didn't care about Li Hanshuang's words. She crawled to the demon with a broken leg next to him and pulled his hand to put it on her head.
Li Baili casually touched the hair of the demon beside her, casually, as if she was at home, relaxed and leisurely, and said with a smile that was not sure whether it was true or false: "Can we discuss the agreed matter now?"
Li Hanshuang nodded, expressionless, and said like the most fair and serious person in the world: "Okay."
Li Baili's smile deepened slightly, and she looked at him and asked, "Then can I propose an agreement that we both abide by?"
"Okay." Li Hanshuang nodded and looked at Li Baili and answered.
Li Baihe smiled and said, "I hope that demons cannot attack immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivators cannot attack demons.
If one party attacks the other, the other party has the right to fight back without being sanctioned.
However, if after the counterattack, the attacking party has lost the ability to move, the attacked party cannot continue to attack, and both sides cannot look for trouble with each other again.
Otherwise, the judge has the right to kill those who violate the agreement. "
"The counterattack causes the attacker to lose the ability to move," Li Hanshuang raised his eyebrows slightly, looked directly at Li Baili, and asked pointedly, "If the counterattack directly causes the attacker's death, does it count as the attacker losing the ability to move?"
"Okay." Li Baili nodded.
"Is there any additional punishment?" Li Hanshuang asked with a smile.
"No," Li Baili shook her head. "Since he took the initiative to attack others, he deserved to be killed by others after counterattack. How can he punish the victim instead?"
"Then I'll also propose one," Li Hanshuang said expressionlessly, "The victim's family has the right to challenge the perpetrator to a duel, and the perpetrator may not refuse. Both parties are responsible for their own life and death, and may not retaliate."
"Okay." Li Baili nodded, knowing that he proposed this to target the demons.
After all, before Li Baili gathered all the demons together, no one knew what those demons had done. If they really killed someone, it would be considered a great treatment for them to be challenged to a duel by the victim's family and to decide their own life and death.
Li Hanshuang stared at Li Baili, narrowed his eyes, and took the opportunity to say, "As for the rest, I think we need to discuss it in detail."
Li Baili said bluntly: "We should indeed have a good discussion. Since you are all here, this is indeed a place for discussion. Why don't we discuss it here?"
Li Hanshuang was silent for a moment, then asked the others, "What do you think?"
Li Qinglian was the first to say, "This important matter really needs to be discussed! I agree! There is no time to lose! Let's adjourn after we have discussed it!"
Others echoed.
Li Hanshuang nodded solemnly: "If that's the case, let's discuss it now."
But before starting the discussion, he looked at Li Baili and said, "I'm discussing this in Penglai, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the Demon King to be here, right?"
The voices of the crowd suddenly stopped.
It seems that the leader of Penglai Sect wants to drive the Demon King out from here and let him in after the discussion is over. This way, the time they see each other can be reduced. Li Hanshuang really hates Li Baili.
Li Qinglian looked a little strange.
Before other people started discussing, you two were discussing the agreement, and you didn't say who should leave. Now that other people have started discussing, you let Li Baili leave?
It seems like you ignore other people, so when you talk to Li Baili, no one needs to avoid you. But when you talk to other people, Li Baili stays here and you can only see him, so you want him to leave?
Do you really care or don't care? Do you want him to avoid it, or do you want everyone else to avoid it?
Do you hate him and therefore don't want to see him, or are you afraid that he will not be able to adapt to the crowded environment, will not be able to rest, will not be welcomed, and will hear sad things he doesn't want to hear, so you drive him away?
Why is it that whenever I feel like you two have a grudge against each other, your interactions are so subtle?
Li Baili was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "It's troublesome to go back and forth, I don't think there is any other place prepared for me here?
Why don't we just stay here and talk it out in front of everyone? It will be easier to deal with it later. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it when I go back. Or is there something shameful that you have to talk about after I leave?"
When he said this, he narrowed his eyes, a trace of scrutiny flashed in his eyes, and everyone avoided his gaze.
The scene was even quieter than before.
Since no one spoke, Li Hanshuang looked unhappy and said, "Don't worry so much. Since you don't want to, just sit here. There's nothing we can't see."
When everyone heard Li Hanshuang's words, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glad that the situation would not continue to be deadlocked.
Li Qinglian looked thoughtfully at Li Hanshuang and Li Baili.
Clearly in the last sentence, Li Hanshuang could have said that we have nothing to be ashamed of, but when he said, we have nothing to be ashamed of, it sounds like there is nothing wrong with it at first glance.
But these words made Li Qinglian feel as if Li Hanshuang was whispering to Li Baili in public. In fact, what these words meant should be: There is nothing shameful between you and me.
Listening this way, you may not be able to hear anything.
To put it more clearly, this means: There is nothing about me that you cannot bear to see.
This is a bit too close!
Li Qinglian couldn't help but raise her head and look around. Seeing that everyone looked normal, she reluctantly put her mind at ease and comforted herself as before: Maybe I'm the only one who thinks so.
Maybe it's nothing. Maybe they didn't mean it.
Everyone started a heated discussion and soon came to a conclusion. In addition to the two rules that remained unchanged, a few more were added:
It is forbidden for both parties to enter each other's territory when there is nothing to do.
If the two sides meet in the mortal world, they must not immediately draw their swords against each other.
The agreement will take effect from today, and only applies to what happens after today, not what happens before today.
If you have any requests, you can collect evidence and hand it over to the middle island between Penglai and Demon Island to wait for processing.
Starting today, Penglai and the Demon Island will each select twenty reliable people from their own side and send them to the Middle Island to jointly build the Middle Island and establish a claim resolution bureau to accept the claims of both parties, verify the evidence, and make judgments.
The leader of Penglai and the owner of the Demon Island can log on to the Middle Island at any time to conduct inspections and work effectively to ensure that the demands are resolved quickly and effectively.
"What do you think?" Li Hanshuang looked at Li Baili with a tired look on his face. When he spoke, there was inexplicably a hint of gentleness in his voice.
Everyone was horrified.
Could it be that our Penglai Sect's leader was in a meeting for too long just now, so his brain is now damaged by fatigue?
He spoke to the Demon Lord in such a gentle tone. Could it be that he was thinking about revenge while attending a meeting just now, without being discovered? No, no!
Li Qinglian raised her eyebrows slightly.
Sure enough, my guess was not groundless. If there was no affair between the two of them, would Li Hanshuang speak in such a gentle tone? No one would believe it!
He had not been so gentle to the injured cultivator before!
I've known him for so many years, and he has never been so gentle to me!
There's definitely something going on between them!
I'll dig it out sooner or later!
While Li Qinglian was full of fighting spirit, Li Baihe nodded, as if she had just come to her senses and said, "It's all right."
Li Hanshuang asked again: "Do you need me to swear to the Heavenly Dao?"
Li Baili was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled helplessly: "That's not necessary. I believe that the leader of Penglai Sect will not regret what he said in public."
The people around rolled their eyes.
The Demon Lord mentioned the name of the Penglai Sect Master again at this time, obviously reminding everyone present that the ones who agreed to the contract were the group of people headed by the Penglai Sect Master, not just the one leading the group at the top.
If anyone attending the meeting today violates the contract later and goes back on his word, saying that he had never acknowledged any contract and is therefore unwilling to accept punishment, the others can serve as witnesses and can even produce physical evidence.
If they want to shield someone, they will be destroying the reputation of all immortal cultivators, led by Penglai.
So vicious, so scary, so clever! What a good move to retreat in order to advance!
