The monster had been at the Nanchun Restaurant for only two days, but it had already left a deep impression on the humans.

A few days ago, before the monster came, the temperature on the mountain had already begun to warm up gradually. However, only two days after the monster came, the whole mountain suddenly turned into ice and snow again.

Liu An sat on the sofa, looking at the people around him taking pictures, and silently breaking off the small icicles he had just picked from the window. A reporter next to him asked, "Hey, have any pretty girls approached you these days?"

"Can you put your mind in the right place?" Liu An turned around and said, "You are a reporter, you finally got in, but you don't even think about doing a good interview, you just keep talking about beauties all day long."

"That's because you can't keep up with the trend." The eldest brother said. "You know that room next to yours... why does it close so early every day?"

"Why?" Liu An looked at his elder brother sideways.

"That's because..." The eldest brother came over slowly, "Every night the casual cultivator in the room next to yours brings several girls home..."

"Huh?" Liu An's eyes widened instantly. He turned around and looked at the reporter for a long time before saying, "No, I didn't notice."

"You're just too stupid." The elder brother said, "Besides, who said I didn't read it carefully? I've learned a lot of useful things in the past two days."

"Hey, the meeting over there has already started, why don't you go take a look?" a Taoist priest who passed by them suddenly said.

"That kind of meeting is not something that casual cultivators like us can sneak into." Liu An said honestly while sitting on the sofa without moving.

"Hey, do you want to go in and take a look?" The reporter next to him suddenly nudged Liu An's arm.

"How do we get in?" Liu An asked.

"Just tell me whether you want to come in or not. Just give me the word." But the eldest brother acted mysterious and did not tell Liu An what was going on.

Liu An looked at his brother's expression and felt that he deserved a beating. But he had to admit that if he could go in, he would definitely want to go in and take a look.

He followed his elder brother mysteriously to the front, while Yuan Yuanyuan was... sitting in her seat drinking tea.

You should always wear formal clothes in formal occasions and you can't wear a hat.

Yuan Yuanyuan, who had never attended such an occasion before, wore the most "formal" clothes she brought with her, according to the format of the class meeting that year. She also took off the hood she usually wore and listened to what the middle-aged man in front of her said.

"We...should develop harmonious relations between humans and monsters...promote the common progress of humans and monsters, ensure that both sides benefit and win in advance, and both sides should get along with each other in a friendly manner and adhere to the development path they have always taken..."

The middle-aged man in front of him, with a hooded face, spoke the meeting speech in Mandarin with a strong northwestern dialect. There was a piece of paper on the table in front of him.

Yuan Yuanyuan sat in her seat and thought, oh shit.

There were three humans in front of her, and a crowd of people were gathered in the audience. There were even people in charge of recording and taking notes.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought this scene was so grand at first, but once it was talked about, it was definitely a scene of darkness, gore and rain.

As a result, Yuan Yuanyuan knelt down as soon as the show started...

Yuan Yuanyuan studied science back then. If she had studied liberal arts, she might have been able to understand some of the things and grasp the spirit of the meeting from them. But now she just wanted to sleep. The huge chandelier above her head was so dazzling that it couldn't suppress her sleepiness.

In front of her was a bowl of tea, a stack of white paper, a brush and ink.

On the opposite side, there are Nongfu Spring, notebooks and carbon pens.

Yuan Yuanyuan propped her chin with one hand, looking at the chattering middle-aged man next to her. He had been talking for ten minutes and hadn't finished his opening speech yet.

With her highly developed ears, she could hear the whispers of many humans below.

"Hey, look at Tang Guzi's face, it's so rosy."

"Of course his face was all red. He had been promoted before this incident, and he was expected to be promoted again after this incident."

"When will this be over? What time can I finish? I want to go down the mountain to the city. I finally came to the northwest."

"I don't know, but if you go to the foot of the mountain, you have to go early. The buses have stopped and it's still dangerous in the mountains after dark."

"It's okay. I secretly brought a few escape talismans with me."

…What the hell.

Yuan Yuanyuan's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm... no, a polite smile. She switched her arm to the other side, which was a little numb, so it was better to switch to the other side.

"...Once again, I wish this meeting a successful conclusion. Thank you all." After an unknown amount of time, Tang Bald finally finished his speech, and Yuan Yuanyuan clapped along with the crowd.

She pinched the thing tied around her leg...and suddenly felt a little bored. At least, that was true given the current situation.

When I first came in and saw the structure of the field, I thought there was going to be a gladiator-like fight between the monsters and the Taoist priests... But from the beginning, it really was completely following the routine of humans.

There are many things about humans that Yuan Yuanyuan doesn't like, such as this... She lowered her head and took a sip of water.

The whole place was like an ancient Roman gladiatorial arena, expanding outward from the center point to form concentric circles.

At the center is a platform where the speaker stands, and in concentric circles are rows of seats.

Yuan Yuanyuan sat on the concentric circle in the first row. There were eight people in the first row, divided equally between humans and monsters.

This place is so big that no one would be able to hear anything else if they were talking about something else. At least in Yuan Yuanyuan's ears, this place was very quiet. If Yuan Yuanyuan hadn't been so bored that she used her magic power to listen to the sounds around her, she wouldn't have heard the trivial conversations around her.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the chandelier above her head, which illuminated all around. She then looked down at the person standing on the stage in front of her. From her perspective, this person was very eye-catching. Standing under the dazzling lights, even if he was bald... he still looked so bright.

Behind her, there should be at least hundreds of people who can see her back.

I wonder if those people find her as eye-catching as the bald man on the stand.

Yuan Yuanyuan smiled inexplicably. In fact, she should have sat still. After all, even if it was a class meeting, Yuan Yuanyuan would try her best to maintain a good attitude.

Don't worry about whether you can listen to it or not, at least have a correct attitude, so that others won't bother you.

If the Yuan Yuanyuan before yesterday had attended this meeting, she would definitely have done so, but now... it seemed a bit inappropriate to do so, and more importantly, she was not in that mood.

But not doing so is not a good idea.

So Yuan Yuanyuan now held her chin up and looked up at the sky, but did not do anything else, nor did she take notes like the people around her, she just listened quietly.

"Thank you." After the bald man from the human side went down, the white-bearded old man from the monster side came up. Yuan Yuanyuan had met him last night. He seemed to be a water monster because Yuan Yuanyuan smelled the fishy smell on him.

The white-bearded old man said very little, just a few sentences, one of which was "I hope that this time, we can get a result that we are all satisfied with." When Yuan Yuanyuan heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at the four people in front of her, but they didn't react.

"Okay, let's talk about the agenda for this meeting." A human picked up the materials on the table. "First, we will discuss the treatment of the seven monsters, and then we will discuss the three post-war regulations and the division of the northwest frontier residence."

"Okay." The white-bearded old man who had already returned to his seat nodded, and then watched as someone from the human side stood up.

"Regarding the treatment of those seven monsters, they violated the eleven articles of the post-war additional agreement signed between humans and monsters..." As Yuan Yuanyuan was listening to the words of the monster in front of her, the white-bearded man next to her suddenly pinched her lightly.

Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head and looked gently, and the white-bearded old man blinked at her slowly.

He gestured with his eyes to the pen and paper on the table. Yuan Yuanyuan took the pen in her hand but didn't write a word.

"Hey, look at that abyss in front." The reporter behind said to Liu An.

Liu An looked at Yuan in front of him, feeling a little dazed for some reason. He lowered his head and smiled. Everything in this world is unpredictable. He had been looking for him for a long time before, but couldn't even touch him. Now he was sitting there openly, for hundreds of people to watch.

The big brother next to him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look, is our press pass useful?"

"It works. It really works." Liu An nodded and looked down at the paper in his hand with the theme of this meeting written on it.

"The issue of how to deal with the seven monsters, the three post-war regulations, and the division of the Northwest Line..." Liu An was shocked, "The Northwest Line is going to be redrawn?"

"Then it must be re-divided. Before this place was not developed, it was fine. Now that the northwest is slowly developing, there are more people, and there are more monsters attacking people. The higher-ups have wanted to re-divide it for a long time." The eldest brother said, "At least move the monsters to places with fewer people."

"Oh." Liu An nodded. "Three post-war regulations... there are about a hundred post-war regulations in total. Which three are they referring to?"

"Three post-war regulations? The first one is that humans cannot invade monster territories, and monsters cannot hurt humans at will. The second one is that monsters must cede land and pay compensation." The eldest brother said, "The last one is about the treatment of monster generals."

"Uh... why are these three items grouped together?" Liu An looked extremely confused.

"Yes, you are a student, so you don't understand this." The elder brother smiled and patted Liu An, "You will understand after working for a few years. You often hear this when you are interviewing in the northwest. You may not hear it in other places."

"Why?" Liu An asked.

"I don't know. I never heard of the three regulations when I worked in the Northeast, but I often hear about them after I came here to work." The eldest brother said, "I think it may be because the Northwest Front has always been considered the front line, so we have more contact with this aspect, and then we came up with a lot of abbreviations for convenience."

Liu An nodded, but suddenly remembered something and raised his head to look upwards.

The light above my head was very blinding, like a bright magnesium lamp.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the crystal chandelier above her head. It was very beautiful and luxurious. It must be an old item.

This restaurant has a very long history... These original circles can be seen from the paintings on the wall and the lamp above the head.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it and suddenly wanted to laugh. What's the point of taking pictures outside? It would be better to stand here and take pictures. The scenery inside is much more iconic than outside.

——Northwest Court, referred to as the Court for short.

The Hidden Court, which was built in the late 19th century, was used during wartime, and after the war, it began to be used as a venue for banquets between humans and monsters.

The light above my head is very dazzling, and it hurts my eyes. When Yuan Yuanyuan was reading the comics, she never understood why the light during Yiqi's trial was drawn so strong in the comics. Only today did I understand... If it is this kind of light, then light of this intensity is indeed normal.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the newly built table in the middle. This table didn’t exist back then...so there would be a chair there.

The chair was made of wood and had armrests with leather straps that could be used to tie people up.

A hundred years later...she sat in the first row, where the judges sat back then.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that the light above her head was a bit dazzling, so she blocked it with her hand and cursed softly.

"Do you feel uncomfortable? If you do, go back and stay for a while." A voice suddenly came from the side.

Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and saw that it was the old man with white beard. She shook her head. Although she felt a little sad, she still didn't dare to leave. She didn't forget why she came here this time... There were a lot of great gods on the human side, and she was the only one who could fight the monsters on this side.

She's here to support the party.

To support the monster.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the person opposite who had finished speaking, and signaled to the monster to speak. Logically, it should have been Yuan Yuanyuan's turn, but Yuan Yuanyuan did not go out, and the white-bearded old man next to him went out instead.

The audience couldn't help but talk about it when they saw this.

"Hey, did you see that Yuan didn't speak?" The elder brother at the back said to Liu An, "Everyone is waiting for him to speak. I dare say that more than half of the people came because of him."

Liu An's brows furrowed.

Yeah...why didn't he say a word?
