"Long time no see, Miss Chiyokana Goin."

"It's been more than a month, almost two months since we last met."

When Yuyuan Mingzhao and the girl beside him, led by Ye Qili, just walked out of the corner of the corridor at the entrance.

Before either of them saw the target, the first thing that appeared was Xi Shenlian's greeting.

Calm, relaxed, indifferent, and with an obvious sense of self-confidence.

to be honest.

Even if they are both men.

When hearing those words, Yuyuan Mingzhao still subconsciously felt that the other person's voice was very nice!

Full of a special beauty.

Make him sincerely believe that the speaker is suitable for singing or speaking.

Especially the speeches!

If that's the case.

Perhaps, the other party is very capable of bewitching people! ?

As the person being greeted, Chiyokana Goin, who was walking beside him, pursed her lips in slight displeasure.

Obviously.

To this day.

She was still a little upset about the fact that she was scared by Xishenlian!

Just like that, with their different moods and thoughts, they soon saw Xi Shenlian.

now.

He was sitting at a small table with two maids standing beside him, looking a little lazy.

Under the soft light, there is a vague hazy feeling.

Looking around, the bright dark purple hair seemed to be reflecting a strange light.

And within those dark purple eyes, the narrow vertical pupils gave off an inhuman look.

This caused the two people being watched to instinctively become a little nervous.

Didn't care about their reactions.

Wait until they get closer.

The somewhat lazy Xi Shenlian pointed to the empty seat next to the table and said:

"Please take a seat."

He is quite polite to the guests he likes.

“…”

After a second of silence.

Goin Akihabara was the first to take a seat, followed closely by Goin Chiyokana.

Seeing this.

Ye Qisaki, who was beside Xi Shenlian, took two steps forward and bent over to pour hot tea for the two of them.

"Please enjoy your meal."

Wait for her to leave.

As the person in charge among the visitors, Yuyuan Mingzhao said:

"I am Yuyuan Mingzhao."

"I believe that Lord Xishen is well aware of our purpose."

"Last time, although our family's Yuyuan Chiyoka had contact with you, she herself did not understand many things, so I came here this time with the sincerity of my family. Please listen to the conditions offered by our Yuyuan family..."

No arrogance.

Nor did he humble himself.

The tone of the other person's voice is very comfortable.

You can tell at first glance that he often negotiates with others.

So when faced with his words, Xi Shenlian did not interrupt him.

Instead, he waited until the other party finished his opening remarks before saying calmly:

"To be honest, I don't mind listening to your terms."

"But out of courtesy and the desire to express my true attitude, I still want to say in advance that I will not accept anyone's solicitation."

"Because I am a guy who is completely unwilling to obey anyone's orders unless it is necessary."

"So, I think it's better for you not to have too many expectations."

Just like when facing Tian Yuanli.

Xi Shenlian chose a more direct approach.

And for his direct statement.

Although Yuyuan Mingzhao was slightly stunned, he quickly recovered and did not show any surprise on his face.

He nodded calmly and said:

“That’s normal.”

“When people have power, they naturally do not want to be controlled by others and try to gain complete freedom.”

"However... even if one has great power, it is still difficult for a person to separate from society and groups, so they often still need various forces to provide convenience."

"And with the strength of our Yuyuan family, we can provide those conveniences in life!"

"Also, we won't give too many instructions to the awakened ones under our command. Generally, everyone has enough freedom."

"The Awakened who benefit from this only need to fulfill their obligations as agreed upon at the critical moment!"

Among the many awakened ones, there are many who think that they are the most powerful and that all officials are corrupt.

And expect those guys to sincerely obey orders in a superior-subordinate manner.

Obviously, this is an unreliable thing!

Therefore, for each major force, even if they really recruit awakened people, the way everyone gets along with each other is often relatively equal, and it is difficult for any absolute superior-subordinate relationship to exist.

Unless your fist is indeed much harder than the other party's, the other party will not see any chance to resist at all.

Furthermore.

Even being able to do that.

After all, the awakened ones have legs on their bodies, and with their amazing movement speed, they can easily run away to other countries and continue to act tyrannically.

This made them feel that if they were not welcome here, they would find other places to stay.

If it’s not good for me, then I’ll moisturize it myself!

therefore.

Faced with nuclear warheads that have legs and can run away, even if they can really use force to overwhelm others, the rulers of various countries will often adopt a conciliatory policy towards the newly awakened people and will not force them to do anything.

At least that's the case in Japan.

The three major families that control this country all have a good tolerance for new awakeners.

As long as people don't act like a mad dog out of control and bite randomly, we can turn a blind eye to many things.

at the moment.

Looking at Xi Shenlian who did not refute his words, Yuyuan Mingzhao immediately began to talk about the various conditions offered by the Yuyuan family:

"As long as you are willing to join the Yuyuan family, the area centered on the Kyoto metropolitan area..."

Xi Shenlian listened quietly.

On the whole.

Although the conditions offered by the Yuyuan family were far inferior to the conditions offered by the Tianyuan family in the second round of recruitment, which directly required the selection of a district in Tokyo City as an autonomous region, they were not much different from the first round of conditions proposed by Tianyuanli at the very beginning, and were almost in the same range.

thus.

Xi Shenlian has a rough estimate of the treatment that a normal newly awakened person can have...

…

Half an hour later.

Inside the elevator.

Chiyoka Goin, who had not spoken before, stood beside Akihiro Goin, put a piece of gum in her mouth, and said indifferently:

"Uncle, I've already told you that guy won't agree."

"That guy has a very obvious sense of arrogance and self-confidence. He is definitely not someone who would join a certain camp."

Yuyuan Mingzhao did not deny it.

He just said with a serious look:

"That being said."

"You have to try it after all."

"After all, this is an order from the family."

But after he finished speaking, he touched his chin again and spoke in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"And...how should I put it? I feel like the other party is a little too strong."

“I feel like I’m totally outmatched.”

"The other party is just like that house. There is a sense of abnormality."

Hearing this.

Chiyokana Goin's expression slightly stiffened.

"Feeling completely defeated?"

“Is the gap that big?”

"You are the strongest warrior in our family."

"Even among the main family, there is no warrior stronger than you."

"Logically speaking, you should be fully qualified to touch an Awakener who has just awakened, right?"

Various families with extremely long histories, due to the large number of members, often divide the family into main family, branch family and various primary and secondary relationships in order to ensure the concentration of power and resources.

Chiyokana Goin and Akihiro Goin belong to a branch of the huge Goin family.

Although its power is not as great as that of the main family, it has a relatively high status among the many branch families.

Especially the one among the two, Yuyuan Mingzhao!

As an ultimate-level warrior, he is one of the strongest warriors in the entire Yuyuan family and even in the entire Japan.

His strength is not weaker than many [Awakeners in the initial stage of awakening].

Although he is a member of the branch family, his status is actually higher than that of most of the people in the main family of the Imperial Court!

That's why.

He will be responsible for various more important tasks.

For example: recruiting new awakeners.

"I can certainly give ordinary newly awakened ones a try. With the secret skills of my family, I may have a good chance of winning. But Xi Shenlian gives me a very strange feeling. I feel like I can't win at all..."
