Naohito Aota almost choked on his breath.
"You crazy girl, would I let you suffer a loss?"
Liang Gongxue said softly, "These are all negotiable. Those who came here so quickly are all here with sincerity. For guests who are sincere, our Thousand Blade Pavilion will certainly not let you down."
Ryouko led everyone to the living room.
Feng Zejian and several demon swordsmen from the Thousand Blades Pavilion had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Feng Zejian and the others there, Liang Gongxue couldn't help but ask, "Is the family meeting over?"
Feng Zejian nodded and replied, "It's finished. Actually, it was almost finished when you got up and left."
Feng Zejian tilted his head and looked at the newcomer.
"Oh, everyone's here."
Totsuka Yuhi raised his hand in greeting.
"Long time no see, Feng Zejian."
"How do you feel now?"
Totsuka Yuhi flashed a bright smile.
"It feels amazing, I have a constant source of energy."
Kazema turned his head and glanced at Totsuka Yuuka, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Have you dyed it?"
Yuuka Totsuka was so angry she laughed.
"I knew you'd bring this up."
Feng Zejian, with a cheeky grin, continued to ask:
"So, was the bottom dyed?"
Totsuka Yuuka sighed. "No."
"I'll take a look when I have the chance."
Totsuka Yuuka rolled her eyes at Kazesawa.
"I can't see a single thing."
"You're so stingy. If you're shy, just pluck one off."
Totsuka Yuuka was completely speechless.
"You're making me feel nauseous."
"Haha, just kidding. We haven't seen each other for a while, so I'm just trying to lighten the mood."
"I think you're so desperate you're even flirting with me."
Feng Zejian waved his hand and said with a slightly serious tone, "You don't have to talk about yourself like that. If you and your sister dressed up normally, you would look quite good."
"Let's leave this small talk here and talk to the representatives here about cooperation."
Feng Zejian raised an eyebrow.
"I'll sit down and talk."
Yuuka Totsuka breathed a sigh of relief.
"With you, communication becomes much easier."
"Given our friendship, don't overcharge me."
Feng Zejian assured:
"Don't worry, we'll rip off half of the customers who are new to us, but we'll make sure we get all the customers who are familiar with us."
"You'd be better off not saying anything at all."
Everyone accepted the tea offered by the demon sword and expressed their gratitude.
Taking advantage of the fact that not many people are coming, Totsuka Yuuka plans to finalize the deal first.
"Feng Zejian, let me hear your request."
Feng Zejian pondered.
"I'm not in a hurry. Tell me what conditions you can offer first."
"There are only a few things I can give: money, weapons and equipment, land, and special privileges for my sister and me in certain places. Some things can't be explained too clearly."
Feng Zejian nodded.
"That's already pretty good."
"I heard that you have a fixed quota. How many quotas can you give me? I'd like to know."
"The specifics haven't been decided yet."
Totsuka Yuuka frowned slightly.
"We can decide now. Tell me the total number of demon swords that can participate in this collaboration."
Feng Zejian straightened up.
"I've done the math. Apart from the Thousand Blades Pavilion keeping some of its resources, the demon swords we can offer are: 700 untransformed demon swords, 200 transformed demon swords, and 30 top-tier demon swords."
Everyone gasped upon hearing this.
Everyone knew the number would be large, but they didn't expect it to be this many.
Yuuka Totsuka's brain was working at a rapid pace.
"You plan to cooperate with several forces."
Feng Zejian did not hide anything.
"Ten, maybe."
"If it's ten, how about this: we'll take eighty unformed demon swords, thirty formed demon swords, and three top-tier demon swords."
Feng Zejian frowned, his expression hesitant.
"To be honest, you're asking for a lot, but not too much. It's somewhere between me refusing and agreeing."
The setting sun over Totsuka added fuel to the fire.
"Don't hesitate. This will give Qianxia an extra layer of protection when she carries out her mission."
"Uh, you guys are playing this game, huh? Fine, fine, I agree, okay?"
Yuuka Totsuka immediately produced a contract.
The people in Fengze were dumbfounded.
"The contract is already drafted; they've prepared everything so thoroughly."
"It's just a template. The conditions and the second party haven't been filled in yet. You can fill them in later when you have time."
Feng Zejian grinned mischievously.
"Fill in anything?"
"Otherwise, the Demon Blade is a hot commodity, priceless and hard to come by, so you can have whatever you say. But don't rip us off too much, or my sister and I will end up homeless and have to stay at your place."
Feng Zejian shrugged. "Then let's go."
Feng Zejian flipped through the contract and saw that it was truly full of sincerity.
"Honestly, we should have called those self-righteous old fogies over. We young people have a much broader perspective. The official seal and stamp have been affixed, and we're just waiting to write down the terms."
Upon hearing the word "old stubborn," Aota Naohito felt a little embarrassed.
"That's a bit of a sweeping generalization. I think we older folks are more broad-minded."
"Just name your terms. It won't be less than what those two kids offered."
Feng Zejian said with a smile, "Senior, you've misunderstood. I wasn't targeting you. You may be getting old, but you're not stubborn."
Yuuka Totsuka understood the implied meaning.
"Feng Zejian, did you talk to other people before we came?"
The wind and the marshland organize their language.
"That's right, but it's a bit complicated. You can think of it as, some officials wanted to squeeze the Thousand Blades Pavilion, so they sent a representative, but the talks broke down because they didn't go through with it properly."
“Initially, this was not an open collaboration. These metrics originally belonged to them, but the other party was not only arrogant but also greedy.”
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't want to serve them anymore."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Totsuka Yuhi sighed, "Thank goodness those representatives were inhuman, otherwise this good thing wouldn't have been our turn."
The demon swords, however, seemed quite calm.
Feng Zejian looked at the demon swords.
"These are all good partners; feel free to ask them any questions."
Red Scorpion asked first, "Can the rented-out demon sword draw blood?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Kiritani An looked at Red Scorpion with great disdain.
"Calling you a piece of trash is absolutely right. What's the point of having a demon sword if you don't draw blood? You need a kitchen knife to kill a chicken."
Red Scorpion gritted his teeth.
"Are you deliberately trying to make me unhappy?"
"Yeah, if you're so capable, then kill me. If you can't kill me, then you're a bastard."
"Fuck you."
Totsuka Yuhi immediately locked Kiritani An's neck.
"You little lunatic, that's enough. Is this the time to argue?"
The white wolf also stopped the red scorpion.
Chapter 377 The Best Arrangement
"You too, you're a guest who came with sincerity, and a friend of my sister, so you should tone it down."
After saying that, White Wolf looked at Totsuka Yuuka and asked, "What do you think about the demon sword going out of control?"
Totsuka Yuuka paused for a moment.
Are you asking me this question, or are you asking it at the same time?
"I'll ask you a question."
Yuuka Totsuka smiled.
"There's no such thing as being out of control; it's just that their cruel nature has been exposed."
"If you don't have the means and strength to suppress the rampaging demon sword, then there's no need to hold onto it."
The people around him largely agreed with this answer.
The use of any powerful weapon carries risks, not because of the weapon itself, but because of the duality of things.
White Wolf nodded.
"That's a good answer."
Feng Zejian looked at the white wolf and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
White Wolf nodded.
"Ah."
"Alright, White Wolf, as one of the top demon swords of the Thousand Swords Pavilion, you will be assigned to the unit where the Totsuka sisters are located."
"Red Scorpion, then you'll take the top-tier demon sword share and go to Kiritani An's side."
