Chapter 851: Representatives From Both Sides Appear (2nd Update)

Ye Lianyi glanced at the coldness in Liu Zixuan’s eyes and slightly pursed the corners of her lips.

She could clearly sense Liu Zixuan’s anger towards the Sect Leader of Four Symbols Sect.

The Sect Leader of Four Symbols Sect helped Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi to enhance their powers, but wasn’t he also using them!

Others may not know, but Ye Lianyi is very clear that Liu Zixuan has a fatal flaw, which is also his strength—an extreme tendency to protect his own.

As long as it’s his woman or his brother, regardless of whether or not they get hurt, even if you have a slight sympathetic thought towards them, Liu Zixuan will not easily forgive.

After a while, Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi came in looking disheveled.

Huzi grumbled and cursed, "What kind of people are they, always talking about giving us face, who’s interested in their face!"

"Alright, just ignore them!" At that moment, a middle-aged man walked in following the two.

He was slightly balding, not tall, around 1.65 meters, sporting a beer belly, giving off a very honest appearance.

"Brother Xuan, let me introduce, this is the Sect Leader of Four Symbols Sect that I mentioned to you before. He also shares your surname, his name is Liu Hetian!" Jiang Yunxuan introduced.

Liu Hetian cupped his hand towards Liu Zixuan, "I just found out that Brother Yunxuan’s elder brother is the renowned Lord Xuan."

Just found out?

Liu Zixuan thought to himself, you probably knew about me before you even recognized Jiang Yunxuan.

But as the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling face. Right now, as the opposite party greets with a smile, it won’t do to be excessive.

He then smiled and said, "Sect Leader Liu, don’t address me like that. I can’t bear it!"

"In the world of Jianghu, strength is respected!" Liu Hetian flattered him and directly sat down next to Liu Zixuan, pouring him a glass of wine.

"Sect Leader Liu is only a Half-Step Emperor Realm, while I am merely at the Peak of Imperial Realm; the strong one should be you!" Liu Zixuan laughed with deep meaning.

"Hahaha, since we’re all family, let’s not talk like we are from different families. If you don’t mind, just call me Brother Tian like Yunxuan and the others do!" Liu Hetian raised his wine glass, "Meeting together is fate, let’s have a toast."

"Come, come!" Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi didn’t think much and raised their wine glasses, ready to drink.

But Liu Zixuan still kept his hand under the table, smiling playfully, "Sect Leader Liu, since you have helped my two brothers, I won’t treat you as an outsider. But before drinking, I hope everyone can be honest. I, Liu Zixuan, don’t like drinking without knowing the intention behind it!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hetian’s eyes flashed with an unusual color, and before he could speak, Huzi asked, "Brother Xuan, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? You can ask this Sect Leader Liu!" Liu Zixuan laughed teasingly.

With that, Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi sensed something was wrong, put down their glasses, and looked at Liu Hetian together.

Liu Hetian sighed, "It was my mistake."

After saying this, he stood up and deeply bowed to Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi, "I’m sorry to you two. Previously, I indeed had some ulterior motives letting you become elders, hoping to use you to get close to Liu Zixuan."

"Tian...you!" Huzi and Jiang Yunxuan were left speechless and angry, not knowing what to say.

Being used naturally made them furious.

Liu Hetian quickly added, "However, later on, when I helped you, there was no ulterior motive, I genuinely liked you two. I thought you were straightforward people and sincerely wanted to be friends with you!"

"Besides that, there should be something else." Liu Zixuan patted Liu Hetian’s shoulder with a smile.

"I..." Liu Hetian hesitated, "sigh, indeed, I also wanted Yunxuan and Huzi to participate in the martial arts tournament to achieve rankings, which would benefit them and my Four Symbols Sect. Yet I discussed this with them beforehand."

Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi nodded together, "He mentioned this to us earlier. Since we are going to the martial arts tournament anyway, it’s nothing more than taking an additional title."

Liu Zixuan smiled and shook his head, "Liu Hetian, I admire that you weren’t shrewd enough to continue circling around me."

For some reason, after hearing Liu Zixuan’s words, the Sect Leader of Four Symbols Sect, who is Half-Step in Emperor Realm, broke into a cold sweat.

With an awkward smile, he said, "Master Xuan, now that everything has been said, let’s open up. I came this time to represent the Scattered Sects Alliance to discuss matters regarding the Martial Realm with you."

"Of course, where there’s nothing, there’s no visiting the Three Treasures Hall!"

Liu Zixuan lifted his glass and took a sip, smiling, "Go ahead, let’s prevent you from making a wasted trip!"

"Since Master Xuan allowed him to speak, why not let us speak too!"

As soon as Liu Zixuan finished his sentence, the door to the private room opened again, and two familiar faces appeared before him.

They were Gu Daohe from the Gu Family and Wei Zheng from the Wei Family, who he had previously encountered.

With their appearance, the atmosphere inside the private room instantly became delicate.

Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows and mockingly said, "Damn it, you say this young master isn’t some chaste maiden, why are all you old men staring at me for no reason!"

"In the current situation, you are the key figure for breaking the impasse."

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, sat opposite Liu Zixuan, and tugged at Gu Daohe’s arm.

Gu Daohe gritted his teeth and bowed ninety degrees towards Liu Zixuan, "Master Xuan, I apologize for the offenses I committed earlier and hope you won’t hold a grudge. You can propose any request to punish me; it shows our sincerity in this discussion."

Such a gesture, Liu Zixuan naturally understood.

Liu Hetian used Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi to get close to Liu Zixuan, playing the emotional card.

Gu Daohe visiting to apologize is equally sincere, also an emotional card.

Initially, both parties only sent messages to Liu Zixuan; punches and kicks were thrown on the way to the farm.

This indeed shows they were using various tactics, combining both hard and soft approaches, to win over Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan turned to Ye Lianyi and said, "As the old saying goes, a soft-hearted person cannot occupy the Emperor’s Position. Originally, I thought I’d send them all away when they came, but seeing their sincerity made me soft-hearted."

Ye Lianyi hesitated; "Then let’s discuss together. After all, leaving things hanging isn’t a solution."

"You understand me, Ripple," Liu Zixuan smiled slightly, and said to Huzi: "Get some more dishes over here; today’s guests are all representative figures from both sides, so we can’t serve them our leftovers!"

Huzi scratched his head, "Alright."

Before long, the leftovers on the table were taken away, and some dishes and bottles of wine were brought over.

Liu Zixuan grabbed a handful of peanuts, munching while he mumbled, "Don’t just stand there, who’s going to start talking!"

With just one sentence, Liu Zixuan took the most active position, tossing the difficult topic to Liu Hetian, Gu Daohe, and Wei Zheng.
