"I hope that one day you can be proud of your achievements, not just for development. Also, don't bring up this topic in front of Master. I won't be responsible for the consequences."
"Ha! You said she was small behind her back! Hehe, Anqi, you don't want her to know that you said she was small behind her back, right?"
Husky got hold of the handle and approached Anqi,
An Qi looked at that silly and mean smiling face and rolled her eyes expressionlessly.
The next second, Angel weighed Kiana's treasure chest, pouted her lips and lightly touched Kiana's cheek.
"Okay, I've bribed you, forget about it."
"You...you...you...you should say it first next time. I haven't had time to feel it properly yet!"
After being surprised, Kiana put her hands on her hips and asked righteously.
An Qi rolled her eyes again, too lazy to care about her further advances, and turned around and walked out the door.
"Hey, wait for me, Angie!"
When the two arrived outside the courtyard, the other three people from Taixu Mountain were already in place.
"You are here."
Fu Hua turned around and smiled at the two of them. Her slender figure was like a lotus appearing in a landscape painting.
The white dress is the base, the black sleeves are cloud-like, the waist is tied with a green belt, and there are some cloud, yin and yang, and eight trigrams themed pendants hanging on it. The wind blows the belt and sleeves, and the calm and indifferent smile makes it look like a real immortal standing there.
"Oh my god, if I wear this dress in St. Freya's... it's not good. It's definitely not good!"
Kiana muttered to herself.
Next to him, Ji Lin was wearing a red long-sleeved ancient dress, a gorgeous phoenix crown shining with golden light on his head, and holding the Xuanyuan sword, which had infinite power and extraordinary significance. He also did not look like an ordinary person.
Cang Xiaoxuan was still wearing his usual white clothes and white sleeves, but his small body was sitting on the suspended Yin-Yang ball, which looked unusual no matter how you looked at it.
Kiana turned her head and glanced at An Qi, who was dressed like a junior sister from the Immortal Sect, and commented with a strange expression:
"You guys are so pretentious!"
"Why don't you take a look at your clothes first. This is a rare grand occasion, and it's been a long time since Taixushan has appeared in public. In every sense, we can't let it down. Just dress in the most high-end way possible."
Cang Xiaoxuan spread out his hands, with a lazy expression as if he was too lazy to explain, and even yawned, as if he could lower his head and take a nap at any time.
Then they didn't have time to communicate further because the plane coming to pick them up had already appeared in the sky.
……
Taixu Mountain has been the private property of the Red Iris Immortals since ancient times, and it is their home, so Cang Xiaoxuan would not allow a bunch of outsiders to come in and out here. Not only would she feel uncomfortable, but she would also find it troublesome to entertain them.
Therefore, the meeting was arranged in a town not far from Taixu Mountain.
From the perspective of ordinary people, it seems that there is some important activity here. Traffic and communication are all controlled, armed helicopters are flying back and forth in the government compound, and there are even military defenses. Anyone who sees it will be terrified and dare not approach.
An Qi and her group were welcomed all the way to the conference room on the top floor.
There were two rows of large leather chairs in the solemnly decorated conference hall.
The calm-looking Shenzhou representative led them to their seats.
Fu Hua and Ji Lin were in the middle. Cang Xiaoxuan and the Shenzhou representative were on either side of them, and Angel and Kiana were further back.
It’s not that Fu Hua and Ji Lin wanted to sit on the main seat, but mainly because that’s how the Shenzhou representatives were arranged - who dares to sit between the two ancestors? Do they think they have a long life?
On the other side, the Anti-Entropy delegation led by Kerla has also arrived.
The air suddenly became quiet and the faint sound of the clock on the wall became exceptionally clear.
The calm-looking Shenzhou representative spoke first:
"Hey! On our side, there should be no need to introduce the Red Iris Immortal and Emperor Xuanyuan in detail. All the friends of Anti-Entropy must know them. Also present are His Excellency Cangxuan Zhishu of Taixu Mountain and Miss Anqi, the disciple of the Red Iris Immortal. As for this one..."
The Shenzhou representative looked in Kiana's direction with some confusion in his eyes.
I've never heard of other members of Taixu Mountain. Could this girl who looks like a little girl be another ancestor dug out of the soil somewhere?
An Qi immediately started to explain.
"Kiana Kaslana, Valkyrie of Destiny, niece of Saint Freya Academy Principal Theresa Apokalis. She is attending as an observer of Destiny."
"Ok?"
"We all know that such a big thing cannot be ignored by Tianming. Instead of letting them use small tricks to get intelligence, it is better to let Taixu Mountain come forward and let their people listen directly, which can also avoid some unnecessary troubles."
"That makes sense. The Immortal and the Emperor have considered everything carefully."
The representative of Shenzhou said with a smile. After all, Shenzhou's influence is only in the secular world. As for destiny, their face has limited effect. This time, what they are most worried about is the reaction of destiny. Taixushan's coming forward really makes him feel assured.
It feels like having someone to lean on, not bad!
Kiana frowned, wanting to laugh but trying hard not to.
These are all made-up clichés. She is the destined representative of a ghost! She wishes Otto would die suddenly, so how could she possibly come to sit in on his trial?
In fact, Otto didn't care about this little move of anti-entropy. Anyway, it couldn't shake the ruling power of Destiny in the short term, and it couldn't affect his plan. Why bother with an old friend who had recovered his strength for such a small matter, right?
"Ms. Kiana, welcome to your arrival. It is rude of me not to entertain you in advance."
"Don't be so polite, I'm just here to listen, do as you please, just pretend I don't exist."
Kiana frowned.
It’s my first time pretending to be a big shot. I’m not used to it, but I’m secretly happy about it.
Kerla glanced at Kiana, but then she quickly passed by and began to calmly introduce the attendees from her side, including her, the head of the Shenzhou branch, and several adjutants.
"Cough cough!"
After the customary polite exchanges, Cang Xiaoxuan slowly floated up, aligned his eyes with everyone else, and coughed dryly.
Fu Hua and Ji Lin received the signal and looked at each other, then spoke in sequence as planned.
"The pace of collapse is getting more and more urgent, and all signs indicate that the test facing the former civilization is approaching. At this time, Nienen is willing to come to China, and we welcome it very much. Taixu Mountain is willing to be a witness to this cooperation. We hope that both parties will put aside unnecessary concerns and truly achieve cooperation that is beneficial to both sides. This is our greatest hope."
"Chiyi and I are not familiar with current government affairs, so you can just treat us as symbolic decorations. Feel free to speak your mind. Negotiations, consultations, and arguments are all up to you. We will just watch. Of course, if there is anything else we can help with, feel free to speak up. As long as it is for the good of Shenzhou, Chiyi and I will never refuse. Okay, everyone in Shenzhou, everyone in Nienentropy, don't be restrained, please start."
At this point, the mission at Taixu Mountain is completed.
The Shenzhou representative, who had already prepared a speech, smiled amiably and kindly, looking at the Anti-Entropy members opposite him as if they were his family members.
Kerla exchanged a glance with the adjutant beside him, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"How about we start with the location of the branch base?"
"You are a guest, do as you please."
The two sides began a friendly exchange.
And everyone in Taixu Mountain began to lose their focus.
Tai Xushan had already given all the face he should have given. The negotiation and communication had nothing to do with them, so just ignore it and wait patiently for the boring meeting to end.
Chapter 232: Different Perspectives of Father-in-law and Mother-in-law
The meeting lasted almost the entire day.
And we can’t even finish talking in one day, and we have to continue tomorrow.
Even with Kerla's information processing and analysis capabilities connected to Angel's network, it still felt a bit numb after a day.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Kerla, after a day of discussion."
Considering that the guests were from outside the Shenzhou cultural circle, the dinner was arranged as a Western-style buffet. Then the Shenzhou representative, who had spent the whole day chatting with Kerla and others, came over with two glasses of white wine and a smile on his face.
Kerla smelled the smell of alcohol and frowned subconsciously.
"Sorry, I'm a soldier and I don't drink alcohol during missions."
"I understand. So, sparkling water or apple cider vinegar?"
"Aceto, thank you."
"Oh? Do you also have the habit of drinking boiled water?"
The representatives of Shenzhou were delighted.
Kerla frowned and rolled his eyes in his heart - nonsense, he has been drinking since he was a child!
The two clinked their glasses.
"I think you guys are really good at paying attention to details. Before I came here, I never thought you would have so many problems. Location, sovereignty, parts import tariffs, supplier management, localized industrial chain support... I feel like I should bring a large professional team here so that I can talk to you clearly."
"Haha! We have to thank Anti-Entropy for being reasonable, and we also have to rely on the support of our ancestors. Otherwise, how could we dare to go online so quickly? Please take the trouble to discuss these matters. After these few days of hard work, the next work will be easier."
"I understand. The fact that you are willing to talk so carefully and deeply also shows that you really want Anti-Entropy to join, which is also a good thing for us Anti-Entropy. For the future of mankind, for the hardworking, kind and lovely people on this land, I salute you."
"please!"
After finding out that Kerla's mood had not deteriorated and feeling a subtle sense of intimacy from Kerla, the Shenzhou representative happily filled a glass of white wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he left with a smile.
After all, the meeting has lasted a whole day, and it is a bit immature to still stick around during the break.
Kerla breathed a sigh of relief, then tried to clear her mind for a while and enjoy the food quietly.
"Sorry to bother you, distinguished guest from Anti-Entropy~~"
A smiling, soft and pleasant voice sounded, and at the end of the words, the voice even raised its voice playfully, as if to express friendliness.
Kerla turned her head mechanically.
The pair of snow-white chubby legs that looked extremely soft came into view.
Looking up further, he saw Cang Xuan Zhi Shu's warm smile like a warm spring breeze, and behind him were Fu Hua and Ji Lin, who looked like two door gods.
The corner of Kela's mouth twitched. She knew that trouble was coming.
……
"Here, write down this number."
"What number is this, Uncle Xiaoxuan?"
"Nothing. With this number, you can ask Anti-Entropy to promise you one thing, and you can also ask Cocolia to do something for you. Also, from today on, you are Anti-Entropy's distinguished guest. No matter where Anti-Entropy is in the future, they will give you the best personal treatment - although how good this treatment can be is still to be discussed, but it can't be a bad thing. Take it well, you deserve it."
"Thank you, Uncle Master Xiaoxuan."
An Qi looked confused, but she had already recorded the number into her phone.
Cang Xiaoxuan floated up a bit and came above An Qi. He reached out and touched the head of this young disciple from Taixu Mountain and sighed slightly in his heart.
'It was given very straightforwardly, and at first glance it seemed very promising.
Sooner or later, Angel will aim for Cocolia's head. By then, this little compensation will be meaningless.
Cang Xiaoxuan was thinking about what the scene would be like on the day when An Qi decided or had to face the truth, and his eyes swept over the other people at the table one by one.
"Let's ignore Ji Lin and A Lin for now. Fighting is fine, but they are not suitable for such professional and meticulous work as psychological counseling."
"Brickhead, maybe it can be of some use, after all, he is Anqi's trusted master. Let's talk to her later. Brickhead, you have to stand up, Taixu Mountain is the only one left. If you fail again, I guess you won't dare to accept any more disciples for thousands of years."
"Kiana...hiss, maybe she's a surprise weapon."
After a few days of observation, Cang Xiaoxuan discovered that Kiana and An Qi had an unusually good relationship.
Not to mention eating together, living together and sleeping on the same bed, they can even hug each other and flirt with each other. They are so close that they can no longer be defined as classmates and friends.
If Taixu Mountain provides a sense of security from home and elders, then Kiana provides friendship outside of the family, and it may even be a kind of support above friendship.
Both are critical and indispensable.
Before the worst day comes, the more love and support Angie can have, the better, and every bit is important.
Then, Cang Xiaoxuan's eyes gradually softened.
On the contrary, Fu Hua frowned as she watched Kiana, who was attending the banquet and still trying to be coquettish and asking Angel to feed her, and Angel was unconditionally obeying and cooperating.
Fu Hua: I don’t care about the occasion and I’m not serious.
Cang Xiaoxuan: innocent, passionate and simple.
Fu Hua & Cang Xiaoxuan: Anqi, Kiana is such a bad/not bad kid!
"what--"
"What's wrong with you?"
