Chapter 62 The Negotiation Table

The next day, at Fengtian Restaurant in Chu Prefecture.

Few customers came to eat early in the morning, but one of the private rooms in the restaurant was very lively.

"Yun Bai, we heard about your situation, so we came specially to back you up. You kid, you didn't even tell me, Old Du, when something happened. I only found out from Supervisor Zhou." Du San laughed heartily.

"Old Du? Captain?" Yun Bai, who had just walked into the private room, said in surprise.

"What, didn't expect us to come?" Captain Zeng Fu rubbed his smooth bald head and looked at the sweet young girl beside Yun Bai. "And who is this?"

"Greetings to you both. I am his younger sister, Yun Qian." Before Yun Bai could speak, Yun Qian took the initiative to greet them.

"This is your sister? What a beautiful little girl. Yun Bai, is this your biological sister? Why do you look so rough? Hahaha." Captain Zeng Fu changed from his usual serious captain persona and actually teased Yun Bai.

"Captain? You haven't been subjected to Possession, have you?" Yun Bai said with an expression of surprise.

"Hahahaha." Du San watched the show from the side and laughed loudly.

"Qianqian, look. This bald-headed uncle is my captain, Captain Zeng Fu. You should call him Uncle Zeng. This one who wears a grey cloth robe all day is an outstanding Formation Great Master. You can just call him Great Master Du." Yun Bai introduced the two to Yun Qian.

"Well, you kid, taking revenge, are you? Making me a generation older by calling me Uncle. Am I that old? Why is it Old Du and Great Master for him?" Captain Zeng Fu feigned dissatisfaction.

"Cough, cough, Captain, you can't say that. Calling you Uncle shows closeness. Calling him Old Du and Great Master has another reason."

"What reason?" Captain Zeng Fu glared.

"To tell you the truth, my sister here is a genuine Formation Genius. Once in a century, hard to find in this world. I was thinking, since this Old Du is so powerful, maybe someday..." Speaking of this, Yun Bai looked full of pride, as if he was bragging to the heavens.

"Really or not?" Captain Zeng Fu asked, half-believing.

"Good for you, Yun Bai, you've got designs on me. The abacus beads are practically bouncing off my Face." Hearing that the matter involved him, Du San immediately retracted the playfulness on his Face. "However, saying that, it's no problem for you to ask me to teach your sister Formation. But having someone inherit my mantle is no joke. I need a real Genius."

"Hey, alright, alright. I don't need you to teach her the core teachings of the Mo Sect. Just guiding her on some basics when you have time is fine, right?" Yun Bai had full confidence in his sister.

"Right! I remembered! You said before that those seasoned bigu pills were refined by your sister?!" Du San slapped his head, his eyes widened as he asked Yun Bai.

"Yeah, what? Craving them?" Yun Bai said smugly.

"Oh my, little sister, were these five-spice flavored and braised-meat flavored Inedia Pills really refined by you?" Hearing this, Du San immediately squatted down and asked with a look of astonishment.

"Yes, I even took them to the market to sell!" said Yun Qian.

"That's amazing! Little sister, er, no, Miss Yun Qian, can you refine some more for me, Old Du? How much do you sell them for? I, Old Du, will buy them at double the price! I want 100 five-spice flavored and 100 braised-meat flavored!"

"I can, it's just... such a large order might take some time." Seeing Du San wanting to buy so many without even asking the price, Yun Qian looked at Yun Bai with some hesitation, only to see Yun Bai nodding at her.

"Good! Good, good, hahahaha! Miss Yun Qian, take a look, can you make a few more flavors? Like beef flavor, spicy chicken flavor..." Du San began to discuss with Yun Qian with great interest.

A quarter of an hour later —

In the private room, Yun Bai's side and the Chen family's side sat opposite each other. Yun Bai's side included: Yun Bai, Yun Qian, Du San, and Captain Zeng Fu. The Chen family's side included: Chen family Patriarch Chen Sheng, the offender Chen Qiang and Li Pazi, and Huben Army A-team Captain Chen Yuan.

In addition, there were several people from the military and the State Religion, namely Supervisor Zhou Shengtai of the Chu Prefecture National Temple, General Yang Cang of Chu Prefecture, and Young Master Huang Yue. These three acted as a neutral party, responsible for witnessing.

To Yun Bai's surprise, the wealthy Young Master Huang Yue, whom he met while strolling in the market yesterday, was also present here.

"Is this person here with the Chen family? Or with General Yang Cang? Surely he can't be from the State Religion, right?" Yun Bai wondered suspiciously.

Patriarch Chen Sheng spoke first: "Supervisor Zhou, General Yang, this matter is indeed Qiangzi's fault. But how old is this kid? What grudges can young people have? Shouting about fighting and killing is really just children playing house. There's no need to nitpick with him."

"Patriarch Chen, don't talk nonsense here. It's useless to tell me. You came to talk to Yun Bai, not to talk to me." Supervisor Zhou Shengtai shook his head. "Since this matter has been brought out into the open, and you begged General Yang to have me step in to mediate, it's obvious you want to settle this privately."

"According to our State Religion's rule of law, we wouldn't tolerate this. But considering the special circumstances at the time, our State Religion hadn't yet enforced the law in Chu Prefecture. So, I agreed to this in my own name, which is already giving your Chen family enough Face. I am very pressed for time, so stop dawdling." Supervisor Zhou Shengtai started by cutting straight to the point.

"Alright." Facing Supervisor Zhou Shengtai's words, Patriarch Chen Sheng's expression did not change. He turned his head and said to Yun Bai, "Brother Yun Bai, how do you think this matter should be resolved to satisfy you?"

Captain Zeng Fu looked at Yun Qian sitting obediently beside Yun Bai, thinking that such a good girl was almost bullied, and a surge of anger couldn't help but rise.

"Who the hell is your brother? Yun Bai is a top Genius of our State Religion. Is 'brother' something you can call him?" Captain Zeng Fu spat. He already knew from Yun Bai what Chen Qiang had done initially. "Your Chen family boasts of being a wealthy and powerful family in Chu Prefecture, and this is your family upbringing? The younger generation bullies others, and the older generation knows no shame."

Du San saw his captain acting out of character and cursing, and secretly gave Captain Zeng Fu a thumbs up. He knew that Captain Zeng Fu was building momentum for Yun Bai; Captain Zeng Fu was worried that Yun Bai was young and would be taken advantage of in the negotiations.

Patriarch Chen Sheng was stunned; he didn't expect Yun Bai not to speak, but the bald man beside him to start cursing first.

"Who are you?" Patriarch Chen Sheng asked.

"Oh, he is my captain." Yun Bai smiled and said.

At this time, Chen Yuan explained a few words in Patriarch Chen Sheng's ear.

Captain Zeng Fu of the State Religion's Xinyue Hall Team B? Patriarch Chen Sheng was shocked. He didn't expect such a powerful figure to come and support this kid.

"Patriarch Chen." Yun Bai suddenly put away the smile on his Face. "These two bastards, Chen Qiang and Li Pazi, dared to break into my home while I was away and wanted to humiliate my sister! This matter even disturbed General Yang and Brother Zhou to step in. Otherwise, for anyone who dares to bully my sister, there is only one word: Die!"

Yun Bai glared, like a fierce tiger staring at its prey. The Divine Sense of the Second Realm completely enveloped the Chen family members opposite.

In any case, the Aura had to be fully displayed before the negotiation. The captain had just given him Face, so Yun Bai naturally could not let it drop.

Patriarch Chen Sheng was startled by Yun Bai. In his eyes, Yun Bai was just a junior, yet he dared to show off in front of him?

"Then what do you want?" Patriarch Chen Sheng asked in a low voice, unable to keep his composure.

"One, kneel and apologize to me and my sister! Kowtow one hundred times!"

"Two, Chen Qiang and Li Pazi, the two of them together, five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Five hundred thousand?" For a moment, Patriarch Chen Sheng thought his ears were malfunctioning.

"Three —" Yun Bai dragged out the sound.

"What is it?" Patriarch Chen Sheng's Face was gloomy; he didn't expect Yun Bai to ask for such an exorbitant price.

"Three, there is none. Consider it me, Yun Bai, giving your Chen family Face. As long as the first two points are met, I will let bygones be bygones." Yun Bai shook his three fingers and said with a smile.

"You — how dare you play me!" Patriarch Chen Sheng's Face was dark, and he spat out a few words from between his teeth.

Seeing this, Supervisor Zhou Shengtai laughed; this kid Yun Bai really had guts.

General Yang Cang frowned and asked in a low voice: "Supervisor Zhou, you didn't tell him about the things we discussed before?"

Supervisor Zhou Shengtai didn't care: "Eh, I did say it. But young people, it's normal to have some temper. Negotiation is negotiation, it's meant to be negotiated."

"What do you think?" Yun Bai looked at Patriarch Chen Sheng with a smile.
