The so-called negotiation was just to let the Vermilion Bird and the others do what they wanted. It was to see who would take the initiative. As the king of the spiritual beasts, he could not play much of a role.
The four elders also understood this point, so they looked at each other with sparks in their eyes.
"Don't you want to ask for my opinion? What external clan elder, do you think this Prince wants to be an elder?" Xiao Yi laughed and retorted without giving him face.
He was the Prince of the sea beast clan. He was not interested in the spiritual beast clan's external clan elders, especially when he had to stand side by side with two mysterious pill Masters. This was simply lowering his status as a Prince!
"Your Highness, the status of our clan's external clan elder may not be more honorable than your current status, but this is to make our cooperation closer. If your Highness is not interested, you can arrange for a trusted expert to participate." The Green Dragon smiled faintly and continued Xiao Yan's sentence.
"Elder Azure Dragon's words are quite pleasant to the ear. I'm not against becoming the external clan elder of the spirit beast clan, but the central representative is our cooperative partner. You dare to be an elder of the outer hall with ?" Xiao Yan nodded to the Azure Dragon and smiled back.
"I agree with Prince Xiao Yan's point of view. However, Master Lin is the alchemy elder that the king has personally appointed. There's nothing wrong with him being an outer hall elder with the Prince. On the other hand, the Royal Alchemist Zheng Dongsheng overlaps with Master Lin. Secondly, his task of refining pills for the king is also very important. So, there's no need to consider master Zheng as an outer hall elder, right?" The Black Tortoise imdiately followed Xiao Yan's words and tried to finalize the matter.
"If that's the case, then let Grandmaster Zheng be a substitute outer hall elder. He won't participate in the usual etings and decisions, and will fill in the vacancy when there is a vacancy. It's easier to vote with the seven elders of the inner and outer halls. " The Vermilion Bird did not insist. Although master Zheng was hired by the Green Dragon, he was not their direct descendant. Even if he managed to beco an outer clan elder, he might not be able to help.
Moreover, the sea beast clan and the central were strong reinforcents that the Vermilion Bird had found. With Xiao Yan and the people from the central, they still occupied the majority of the outer hall elders. Whether or not Zheng Dongsheng was present did not matter much.
"So be it, elder Vermillion Bird. You have the final say. Let's continue our previous discussion and discuss how we can better cooperate." The White Tiger waved its hand, showing respect for the Vermilion Bird.
Lin Yi's spirits lifted-he hoped that this wasn't just a formality, and that they'd co to an agreent beforehand like before, and that they'd be able to get sothing useful out of this.
With the outer hall elder title above his head, Lin Yi could now participate in the discussion openly and confidently. Even if he didn't say anything, he would be the first to know about the spirit beast clan's plan.
He didn't know what the king of spirit beasts was thinking, appointing Lin Yi as one of the outer hall elders. If it was any other spirit beast, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was colluding with enemies.
"Let's stop here for today. The king is tired after the coronation ceremony. The distinguished guests should rest for a while. We'll arrange another elder eting tomorrow to discuss the direction of our cooperation. " Red Sparrow waved her hand and ended the eting.
Lin Yi was disappointed, but he didn't say anything.
Tomorrow it shall be. He could sort out the things that happened today and perhaps find so clues that he had missed.
The king of spirit beasts stood up and said,"I won't be attending tomorrow's eting. If there's anything that I need to know, I'll let the elders know." Also, if elder Lin Yi is free, you can co and find . I'm very interested in your pills. "
"Thank you for the favor, my King. Lin Yi can explain to you anyti." Lin Yi quickly smiled and cupped his fists. Everyone could see that the king of spirit beasts was protective of him, and he himself didn't understand it either. If he had the chance to talk to the king of spirit beasts alone, it wouldn't be bad for him.
"My King, you should go back and rest first. Elder Lin Yi needs to familiarize himself with the outer hall elders and prepare for the elder eting tomorrow. He won't be able to et my King for a while! If your Majesty is interested in alchemy, you can ask the Royal Alchemist Zheng Dongsheng. " The Vermilion Bird glanced at Lin Yi and stopped the king of spirit beasts from eting with Lin Yi in private.
As a subject, it was too rude to speak to the king of the spirit beasts like this. However, the people present had long seen the true status of the king of the spirit beasts. Everyone was clear that the Vermillion Bird still had the greatest authority among the spirit beasts.
"Alright, what Vermillion Bird elder said makes sense. Elder Lin, you should first familiarize yourself with the rights and responsibilities of an outer hall elder! We'll talk again when we have the chance. " The king of spiritual beasts smiled faintly and did not react to the Vermilion bird's strength.
In fact, the king of spirit beasts had disobeyed the Vermillion Bird several tis today. He knew that he could not do anything to the Vermillion Bird for the ti being. It was not a good idea to really fall out with the Vermillion Bird, so he could only choose to endure for the ti being.
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty. Once I've familiarized myself with it, I'll definitely find an opportunity to pay my respects to you. " Lin Yi smiled. Since it wasn't a good ti now, he'd think about it later.
As long as she was still in the spirit beast clan, she would always have the opportunity to et the king of the spirit beasts alone and figure out why he was so protective of her!
Seeing that the king of the spiritual beasts was about to leave, Xiao Yan and the two n in bamboo hats in the center stood up to send it off. After all, it was still the Supre ruler of the spiritual beasts on the surface. There could not be any lack of etiquette, otherwise it would negatively affect their future cooperation.
After a while, the people in the main hall dispersed, leaving only Lin Yi and Li Zao Yi. The two Spirit beast guards at the entrance led them to the side hall.
It was more of a surveillance than a guide, but Lin Yi didn't mind. As long as he could stay in the palace, it was a rare opportunity.
On the way, Lin Yi could feel a subtle divine sense sweeping back and forth. It was obvious that he and Li Zao Yi were still the main targets of the spirit beast clan's surveillance, and it wasn't suitable for them to do anything for the ti being.
"Please rest here. If you need anything, you can ask the people outside to do it! The palace is different from other places. Without permission, it's very easy to enter so forbidden areas, and you'll be killed without rcy!" The spirit beast guard smiled and warned Lin Yi before turning around and leaving. (I'm going out in the second half of the month to participate in the reading author's Salon, so I'll temporarily change it to two chapters a day.)
