Chapter 130: The Engagement

Jiang Lan returned to the Ninth Summit and handed the wine to his master.

It would probably be quite a while before he bought some good wine for his master again.

There was no need to go to the inn anymore, so there was no need to go out.

“You’re going into seclusion?” Mo Zhengdong asked after receiving the wine.

At this moment, Mo Zhengdong was looking at the Kunlun Main Hall. There were people from the Dragon Race there.

The arrival of the Dragon Race this time would bring some changes to Kunlun.

And the center of the change was related to his disciple.

It was impossible for him not to care.

“En, I’m about to enter seclusion.” Jiang Lan lowered his head and replied.

Regardless of what had happened at the inn, he still had to advance to the Essence Soul Realm first.

If he was stuck here, his master would probably think of another way for him and make him have a trip out again.

Therefore, he would advance to the Essence Soul Realm in the next few years.He first went into seclusion to study array formations before setting up some simple array formations.

Then, he cultivated.

“We need to delay your lessons on array formations and the Dragon Slaying Sword.” Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and continued.

“People from the Dragon Race are here. The Summit Leaders will need to be present to negotiate with the Dragon Race. This process will take several months.”

“Is it about the marriage?” Jiang Lan asked curiously.

He wanted to know more.

“Yes, that’s why they are here. Although it is easy to set an engagement, there are many other things involved. Thus, the whole process will take a few months, “Mo Zhengdong explained.

“Martial Aunt of the Fifth Summit has also gone?” Jiang Lan asked curiously.

Since the Fifth Summit Summit Leader was already there. Why was his master still here?

Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and smiled.

“You don’t often interact with them, so you naturally don’t know much about them. The main person in this discussion with the Dragon Race this time is your Martial Aunt. The Summit Leader of the First Summit and Eighth Summit will be her assistants.”

Three Summit Leaders?Representatives of three domains?

The First Summit’s Summit Leader Miao Yue was good at negotiations. It was unknown what the Summit Leader of the First Summit was good at. Was the Summit Leader of the Eighth Summit sent because he could fight well?

Jiang Lan had some guesses.

He really could not see through his Martial Uncle from the First Summit.

However, his impression of him was not good. The last time he had been asked to go to the First Summit by the other party, he had been worried that the other party would take action after rejecting him.

Fortunately, he hadn’t.

At least he hadn’t noticed.

“Master, is it possible that we can’t reach an agreement?” Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask.

If they couldn’t come to an agreement, he would be relieved.

“It’s almost impossible.” Mo Zhengdong looked in the direction of the Kunlun Hall and continued,

“The Dragon Race can’t bear the consequences if we can’t reach an agreement. The same goes for Kunlun. If that really happens, both sides will suffer. No matter how impulsive the two sides are, they will not allow this discussion to go wrong. ”

Jiang Lan nodded.He was not disappointed.

When he returned to the Netherworld Cave, he began to research and study on array formations.

This research lasted for three days.

Three days later, Jiang Lan set up an array formation outside so that he could better understand the situation outside when he was cultivating.

After reading for a day, he returned to the Netherworld Cave and began to cultivate.

Although the result would be out in a few months, he couldn’t just sit and wait.

Time was very precious, especially for those on the path towards immortality.

Ten days later, Jiang Lan discovered that light had appeared in the Kunlun Main Hall. It should be because the representatives of the Dragon Race and the representatives of Kunlun had started their negotiations.

The main topic was the marriage alliance between the Dragon Race and Kunlun.

Jiang Lan didn’t know when it would end or how this negotiation would end.

But the general direction should not change.

His engagement with Ao Longyu should be set in stone.Without paying too much attention, Jiang Lan resumed his normal cultivation pace.

He read books during the day and cultivated at night.

Most of the books he had read recently were regarding array formations.

Although he wanted someone to teach him, he intended to learn those that he could on his own first.

After all, it was rude of him to not master the basics before seeking further studies under an expert.

At that time, it would be a small matter if the Fifth Summit’s Summit Leader did not have a good impression of him. The worse scenario was if the Fifth Summit’s Summit Leader no longer intended to teach him. If this happened, he would have missed a good opportunity to become better and he would also have wasted his master’s favor.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Lan no longer cared about the matters regarding the Heavenly Human Race and the demons.

The array formations in the Ninth Summit had also increased by quite a bit. It was still difficult for him to prevent others from entering, but it should still be possible to detect if anyone had entered.

After all, infiltrators were usually not strong.

Those who were too strong would not bother to sneak in.

Of course, he couldn’t underestimate the other party. What if there was someone who wasn’t afraid of death?Boom!

On this day, when Jiang Lan was cleaning the Ninth Summit’s hall, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound.

It came from the Kunlun Main Hall.

He looked up and realized that the light in Kunlun Hall was distorted, as though it was the influence of power.

“Looks like the negotiation didn’t go well.”

The light had never dimmed. In other words, this negotiation had lasted for nearly a hundred days.

After observing for a while, he realized that the light had returned to normal.

“I wonder if the others know about the main topic of this negotiation.”

In Jiang Lan’s opinion, the result of this negotiation was going to be made known to everyone.

If the negotiation succeeded, he would stand on the cusp of the storm.

If the negotiation failed, it seemed like he would also be at the forefront of the storm.

However… as long as he did not leave the Ninth Summit, he could hide here for decades.

No one would notice him.

He would go out when the storm was over.

Although he would be mentioned occasionally, it would not have much impact on him.

However, there would be some influence on the Ninth Summit’s identity.

Because when the Ninth Summit was mentioned, people would think of the Jade Pool Goddess.

Jiang Lan shook his head and continued reading.

Time to time, he would eat a medicinal pill, which aided in his learning and cultivation.

While Jiang Lan was looking at the Kunlun Main Hall, so were the others.

Jing Ting found Lin Siya and asked curiously.

“Does Junior Sister Lin know what has happened?”

Many people had been speculating these days, but no one knew what was happening.

Lin Siya shook her head and remained silent.

She actually knew, but she couldn’t tell him.

This was because the final result was still not out. If she said it now, it would have a great impact on the entirety of Kunlun.

To her Senior Sister, this matter was quite serious.

Jing Ting didn’t get an answer.

But they all knew that this matter had something to do with the Goddess.

“Is it because the Dragon Race wants to take away the Goddess and the Summit Leaders of the various summits didn’t agree to this which resulted in this negotiation?”

“There is indeed such a possibility, but isn’t this situation a little too big? It’s been three months, and there’s still no result.”

“Indeed. I heard that the ones who came were the most influential experts of the Dragon Race.”

“We also have three Summit Leaders participating in the negotiations in Kunlun Main Hall. It’s obvious that this is an important matter.”

“I wonder what will be the results of this negotiation.”

“Let’s wait for it to end. It might not be long before it ends.”

Many people didn’t know what was going on, and those who did didn’t know what would happen.

Ao Longyu stood beside the Jade Pool. She looked at the Kunlun Main Hall and stared at the light.

The time when this light dimmed would be when her fate would be completely decided.

She did not know what the final outcome would be.

However, she knew that there was a high chance that it would not be different from before.

Looking in the direction of the Ninth Summit, Ao Longyu sat quietly at the edge of the Jade Pool and waited.

She did not cultivate these days.

She was waiting for the final outcome.

Could she accept such an outcome?

In reality, she had already thought it through.

However, she was very curious. Would she even have the time to interact with the Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit after their engagement was set in stone?

She was at the Jade Pool while her Junior Brother from the Ninth Summit was always hiding in the Ninth Summit.

Were they going to see each other once every several decades?

In the end, Ao Longyu stopped thinking about it. Instead, she looked at the light in the Kunlun Hall and waited for it to dim.

She was leaving her future to fate.
