Ye Shuang put down her chopsticks, cleared her throat, and said, "Brother makes a lot of sense."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Shuang saw Li Wenyi's beaming face and paused before continuing, "However, I have to consider my parents. They've lived in the village their whole lives, and all their relatives and friends are there. We can't just move like that, can we? How about we wait a few more years? In these few years, my parents can gradually settle things in the village. Moving should be a gradual process, right?"
Li Wenyi glared at Ye Shuang, annoyed. Ye Shuang was a ungrateful wretch who didn't keep her word. But Ye Shuang had indeed offered a compromise, a clever little ingrate indeed: "I think this suggestion is excellent, but the deadline should be set within three years, how about that?"
This was the biggest concession Li Wenyi could make. He and Ma Rencai had previously calculated that no matter what, the dynasty could last for three years without any problem. As for what would happen after three years, chaos would probably be on the horizon.
Li Mantian hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, three years it is."
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Li Wenyi raised his glass with a smile: "Cheers, to the three-year agreement."
Having said that, he took the lead and drank it all in one gulp. Although Li Mantian was still a little unwilling, he could only follow suit and finish his drink as well. Li Shi and Ma Rencai followed suit, and finally even Ye Shuang finished her plum juice. Hmm, it was sweet and sour, quite delicious.
This meal can be considered a win-win situation where everyone achieved their own goals.
After the meal, Li cleared the table, Li Mantian went back to his room, and Ye Shuang also went back to her room to rest, making an excuse that she was tired. Only Li Wenyi and Ma Rencai were left to go to the study.
Once back in her room, Ye Shuang locked the door and instantly teleported to the inn. She was still wearing the same clothes and mask, but there was more than just the Golden Core cultivator in the room. It seemed that apart from the cultivators watching around the house, all the other cultivators were in this room.
Ye Shuang looked around and saw five men and three women, some at the Foundation Establishment stage and others at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. They were all handsome men and beautiful women, and the clothes they wore were priceless. Even the handkerchief in the female cultivator's hand was a decent defensive magic weapon.
"Greetings, senior."
"Greetings, senior."
...
Ye Shuang's arrival was sudden, which startled them all, but the familiar aura made them instantly recognize who she was, and they quickly stood up and bowed.
"Just the few of you? Where are the others? Call them all over so I can get to know them." Ye Shuang sat casually by the window, her voice calm and revealing no trace of joy or anger.
Only Yuwen Liang, who was at the Golden Core stage, felt a chill in his heart, wondering how they had offended this senior. He quickly took out the Fire Gathering Token from his pocket, lit it with his spiritual power, and it exploded into a complex pattern in the air.
Before long, five figures rushed in from the direction of Ye Shuang's house. They didn't even have time to step out of the door; they all climbed in through another window.
Upon entering the room, before he could even speak, he saw Ye Shuang by the window and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior."
Seeing that everyone was present, and assuming no one was watching from the other side of the house, Li Wenyi and Ma Rencai could finally talk properly. Ye Shuang cleared her throat and asked, "Was the Lantern Festival fun?"
Yuwen Liang was confused, but Yuwen Ling couldn't help but get impatient: "Senior, just because of one sentence, you're going to make us all stay here?"
