Upon hearing Xu Shi's words, the expressions of Shen Qin and the other two softened somewhat.
Three people became two.
While the concessions may seem small, the fundamental differences are significant.
As long as the Forsaken can leave behind a leader of their own, they are not considered to have been completely eradicated.
If anything happens later, they can take care of it in time, so that they won't be caught off guard and helpless.
but.
"We're currently in the early stages of the Forsaken's return to Nightsin City. Leaving only one person behind might still cause some instability?"
Shen Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Perhaps we don't need to rush things? For example, we can send one of the three of us first, and then wait until the situation stabilizes before..."
"Chief of the South need not worry at all. Once the shelters outside the city are built, the gap between the two sides will only get smaller and smaller."
Xu Shi waved his hand to interrupt her, his tone calm but undeniable, "The city hall will also send people to help manage the remaining 'Forgotten Ones,' one person is more than enough for you."
This is actually quite rude. They can manage you themselves, yet they still send people to "help." This is clearly an attempt to interfere. From the perspective of the "Forgotten Ones," their wolfish ambitions are obvious.
But the fact is that they are the weaker party, and they have no choice but to bow their heads under someone else's roof. All the previous conditions have been agreed upon, and the City of Night Sin has already made concessions on this last point. If they still say anything, they would be out of touch with reality.
To refuse, they would have to completely reject the idea and take the "Forgotten Ones" back home, but could they do that? Obviously not. If they could, there would be no point in discussing it.
"...Chairman Xu is right. In order for peaceful coexistence between the two sides, we must set an example."
Song Chen chimed in, "Two people it is, I have no objection."
"Long live understanding."
Xu Shi smiled and nodded, shaking hands with him.
I've said it before: as long as there are egoists like Song Chen, everything becomes much simpler.
Shen Qin and Zhao Yuan were naturally dissatisfied with his words, and they took it too seriously, saying that he had betrayed them and was no longer on their side... But in the current situation, his words were not at fault in the big picture.
You've also blocked their path, so if you say anything more, it'll seem like you're not satisfied.
So, after a brief discussion, they had no choice but to agree.
This is also what Xu Shi wanted to see.
His purpose in making this unreasonable request was precisely this.
On a larger scale, this is indeed out of consideration for eliminating the rift between the two sides. Regardless of which of the three leaders of the "Forsaken" takes the lead, it will undoubtedly set an example for others - your leader has voluntarily lowered himself to become a resident of the City of Sin, what more do the others want?
Or rather, if you want to seek refuge in the City of Night Sin, you should behave yourselves and keep a low profile. You can't have all the good things.
On a smaller scale, this was a move by his main target, little sister Shen Qin.
He didn't want to see all three of them come; it would be better to let them retain some autonomy than to have the City of Night Sin send people to manage them.
But even if only two people come, the one who stays behind will definitely not be Shen Qin.
The logic is simple: Song Chen is clearly a people-pleaser, and one of those positions is definitely his; even if you don't give it to him, he'll fight for it himself.
As for Shen Qin and Zhao Yuanzhong, the latter's aversion to the City of Night Sin is more primal; he probably wouldn't even be willing to come if asked.
On the contrary, with Shen He's matter to deal with, Xu Shi didn't believe Shen Qin wouldn't come.
How can she proceed gradually if he doesn't come? With her good brother helping her from behind, she doesn't have many worries.
"...Gentlemen of the City of Night Sin, do you have any other requests?"
Shen Qin naturally had no idea what he was thinking, or perhaps she hadn't caught up with Xu Shi's pace yet, but she asked a question with some concern.
"there is none left."
Xu Shi smiled and said, "You all go back and make preparations. We can start the process of settling in at any time."
"We... warmly welcome the arrival of the Forsaken."
...
The situation was exactly as Xu had imagined.
The final choices for sending someone to the City of Night Sin were naturally Shen Qin and Song Chen.
"Then, I'll leave the remaining clansmen in the settlement to you, Zhao Yuan."
Song Chen sighed with a touch of emotion, and said half-jokingly, "Now it's all good. The three of us no longer have to fight each other. Doesn't that fulfill your wish?"
"I think that being able to go live in the City of Night Sin as soon as possible would be the best way to fulfill Song Chen's wish."
Zhao Yuan wasn't buying it, and sneered, "You must be very happy inside, right?"
He despised the other party's deliberate attempt to curry favor with Xu Shi at the meeting, and his outspoken nature made him make no attempt to hide it.
Or rather, this was already considered quite restrained. In any case, he absolutely refused to become a second-class citizen in the City of Night Sin. If he hadn't been truly desperate, he wouldn't have even compromised.
Staying was actually what he was most willing to do, as it solved his survival problem and prevented him from having to live under someone else's roof.
However, Song Chen, that bastard, was right. It was indeed comfortable for him to have all the power to himself after the two of them left.
It's not that these two won't send people to check and balance us, but relatively speaking, the power of the other two clans will definitely be greatly weakened.
He was very satisfied with this arrangement.
"At this time, you two should refrain from engaging in verbal sparring."
Seeing them like this, Shen Qin felt helpless. "The City of Night Sin will definitely send people to cause trouble. We'll have to deal with them a lot... Zhao Yuan, you have a great responsibility. You must not act rashly."
