However, if we're going to talk, we'll definitely have to increase our bargaining power.
If the Ruthless Sect's current individual strength is insufficient to cooperate with the Wind Dynasty, even if Ye Tian can create a magic array, numerous problems will inevitably arise during a large-scale impact. Ye Tian's only significant bargaining chip lies in the internal problems of the Martial Dynasty.
Washing light gauze.
The youngest junior sister in the sect might be the last bargaining chip. She's rebellious all the time, and Ye Tian needs to talk to her today.
"Dean, I need to take care of some internal sect matters before we begin," Ye Tian said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
Kong Chan's brows furrowed, and he patted Ye Tian's shoulder, saying, "We need to be quick. The border has already been breached. Li Ningshan will be here soon. If we don't prepare in advance, the academy may suffer heavy casualties."
"I understand." Ye Tian naturally didn't want the academy to be harmed. They had already helped him enough. If things really got too bad, Ye Tian would find a way to leave first.
Within the Ruthless Sect, Ye Tian sent his junior sister, Huan Qingsha, alone to a secluded mountain forest, where he casually set up a soundproof array.
Huan Qingsha covered her shoulders in fear and said tremblingly, "Senior brother... what are you going to do? Although... I won't agree to it."
"Slap!" Before he could finish speaking, Ye Tian slapped him on the head and scolded, "What are you thinking about all day long? I called you over here to talk to you about something."
"Oh?" Huan Qingsha was taken aback upon hearing this.
"You mean, Senior Brother, is there some new rebellious plan in our sect? I knew about it a long time ago. Senior Brother, you are the most visionary rebellious master in our sect!"
"Sigh." Ye Tian was speechless at the low IQ of this junior sister.
"I called you here to talk about your background."
"What?" Huan Qingsha's pupils contracted upon hearing this.
"Don't be nervous. That day, when Feng Leng and his group of Imperial Guards came to our Wuqing Sect, besides looking for the descendants of us former dynasty's soldiers, they were probably also looking for you, the descendant of the Huan family," Ye Tian asked.
"Senior brother... what did you say? I... don't understand," Huan Qingsha said nervously.
Ye Tian couldn't help but grin and said, "I told you not to be nervous. Did you think your disguise was hard to see through? I'm asking you this to give you and the Huan family behind you an opportunity."
Huan Qingsha pondered and hesitated for a long time, remaining silent for a while before finally asking, "Senior brother, are you telling the truth? What chance will you give me?"
"Do you have any way to contact your family in an emergency?" Ye Tian asked.
Huan Qingsha was silent for a moment before answering, "Yes."
"Does your Huan family still have any remaining influence in the Wu Dynasty?"
"Yes," Huan Qingsha said.
“That’s enough, listen to me. Write a letter to your father, telling him not to expose himself in the Wu Dynasty. I’ll take the bait. Once we start, he’ll be like this…” Ye Tian told Huan Qingsha his detailed plan in utmost secrecy.
"This is an opportunity for your Huan family. Your father must seize it, because it is also an opportunity for our sect. After being away for so long, perhaps this time we can return to our hometown."
Ye Tian looked up at the distant sky and sighed.
The Cloud and Mist Mountains were his second home. Apart from that blue star system that he seemed to be able to return to forever, this was one of his hometowns.
Ye Tian stopped arguing and simply said to Huan Qingsha, "Alright, that's enough. I'm going to talk to Feng Chao in detail first. You must keep this a secret. If the news leaks out, our entire plan will collapse."
Huan Qingsha shook her head and said, "No, my father and I have a special way of communicating."
Ye Tian nodded, no longer wanting to linger with Huan Qingsha, and left to find Kong Chan.
"Dean, I've taken care of things. You can contact Xian Dou and arrange for me to meet with the person behind you. I think we'll get a good result." Ye Tian now had significantly more leverage, so his tone was much more assertive.
Kong Chan didn't waste any time; the most important thing now was to make the most of every second.
Behind the academy, in a secluded spot, accessible only by a magical array, stood a handsome man whose fingers, like jade scallions, played the zither, his voice melodious and enchanting.
This person was none other than Jiang Nian, the prince of the Feng Dynasty.
