102: Chapter 102 The Tragic Young Master's Nobleman 24

"Yes, I returned not long ago. Mo Yun is my Dao Companion; he will stay with me here in Linhua Hall from now on."

Was Senior Brother giving him official status? Mo Yun was instantly overwhelmed with excitement and joy, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Lu Zhan.

Lin Yan was slightly dazed. A Dao Companion? So even someone like Senior Brother Lu would find a Dao Companion, but that person would not be him. Time had passed, and after all the twists and turns, Mo Yun was the most special existence in Senior Brother Lu's heart!

He had actually always had a premonition about this. Now that the result was before him, besides the pain in his heart, Lin Yan also felt a sense of relief.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Lu, on finding a Dao Companion who suits your heart. I am happy for you!"

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lu Zhan's face, and his gaze softened.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Lin Yan. Your cultivation seems to have improved again; it looks like the Great Dao is within your reach."

Lin Yan gave a forced smile, appearing as sincere and enthusiastic as usual.

"I've had some modest gains from this seclusion. I just remembered I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come back another day to catch up with you, Senior Brother."

Lu Zhan nodded slightly.

"It's fine. Go ahead and attend to your business, Junior Brother Lin Yan. Come back when you're free, and I'll be sure to host you with good tea."

Hearing this, much of the bitterness in Lin Yan's heart dissipated. He laughed heartily, said his farewells, and his figure vanished from Linhua Hall.

Lu Zhan watched Lin Yan leave, his emotions feeling somewhat complex.

Having gone through several Small Worlds, Lin Yan's feelings couldn't be hidden from him, but he was destined not to give any response. Looking at how Lin Yan left just now, he had likely let go.

Thinking no more of it, Lu Zhan raised his hand and rubbed the fluffy head in front of him, while Mo Yun obediently nuzzled against Lu Zhan's palm.

...

A few days later, the high-level members of various Sects gathered one after another.

Under the witness of everyone, Mo Yun, in his capacity as the Lord of the Demon Realm and the current Demon Venerable, formally entered into a peace treaty with the Human Realm.

Mo Yun stood up, straightening his back and clenching his fists slightly, his expression solemn and serious.

"From this moment on, the Demon Realm and the Human Realm will coexist in peace and jointly open a new chapter."

At this moment, a high-level Sect member stroked his beard, his brow furrowing slightly as if he still had doubts, and spoke.

"Demon Venerable, while this peace treaty is good, how can we ensure that the Demon Realm will truly maintain long-term peace with our Human Realm?"

Mo Yun looked at him with a serious face, a determined light flashing in his eyes, and replied.

"Seniors, please rest assured. I, Mo Yun, swear by my name upon the Heavenly Dao. For as long as I am the Demon Venerable, I shall restrain the Demon Race and abide by the terms of the treaty. If there is any violation, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

Lu Zhan also looked at everyone with a firm gaze, his arms crossed over his chest, as he confidently continued.

"Everyone, you have seen Mo Yun's sincerity. Furthermore, with Mo Yun and me around, the Demon Realm will not be able to stir up trouble, and we can certainly ensure long-term peace between the Human and Demon Realms. You can all rest easy."

Master Mingyu scanned the room, looking at the people who still had doubts, and expressed his agreement in a gentle tone that carried unquestionable power.

"Everyone, Mo Yun is different from other members of the Demon Race. He grew up in the Human Realm and is considered a Disciple of our Yunxiao Sect. A-Zhan has also carefully taught him for many years.

"You all know A-Zhan's character; he would not misjudge someone. Since Mo Yun has made such a statement today, I believe he will certainly be able to fulfill it.

"Furthermore, you are well aware of A-Zhan's strength. The Human Realm crisis was resolved only because the two of them joined forces to slay the new Demon Venerable. Therefore, there is no need to worry about any conspiracies."

Master Mingyu's prestige was very high. Once he finished speaking, the doubts of the high-level Sect members were significantly dispelled, and they began to discuss the contents of the treaty.

The Sect Master of the Ming Sect pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Then the specific details of this treaty, such as the constraints on both sides and the regulations to be followed, must be clearly defined."

Mo Yun frowned slightly, thinking for a moment.

"Naturally. We will formulate them in detail. For instance, the Demon Realm shall never invade the Human Realm without cause, and the Human Realm shall not harbor prejudice or malice toward the Demon Realm. Both sides will remain in their respective territories.

"A trade city will be established at the border of the Human and Demon Realms, with a Monitoring Office set up to follow fair and reasonable trading rules, ensuring that both sides can benefit."

"When armed disputes occur between the two sides, they shall be reported to the Monitoring Office, and right or wrong will be judged based on the contents of the treaty. The party at fault, regardless of their status, must be punished."

Hearing this, the high-level members nodded one after another and immediately began to discuss the specific details enthusiastically. After a period of deep and intense deliberation, the various contents of the peace treaty were gradually perfected.

Finally, the construction plan for a large-scale city and the related management rules were successfully determined.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, this highly symbolic city of peace and cooperation was slowly built. It towered high, standing at the junction of the Human and Demon Realms as if reaching straight into the clouds.

The sky was as blue as a gemstone, white clouds drifted leisurely, and the city sparkled in the sunlight. The city walls were sturdy and majestic, exuding an ancient and solemn aura.

Every day, a large number of Human Race Cultivators and Demon Race members would come and go within the city. Various rare Materials and precious medicines were displayed in a dazzling array, with everything one could possibly need.

The large tree at the city gate had lush branches and leaves. As the breeze blew, the leaves rustled. From then on, a brand new page of history was turned for the Human and Demon Realms.

Two years later, the Yunxiao Sect widely distributed invitations, cordially inviting all Cultivators of the Human Realm to the Yunxiao Sect to witness a ceremony.

The scale of this celebration was unprecedentedly grand, as it was both the succession ceremony for the new Sect Master of the Yunxiao Sect and the Bonding Ceremony between the new Sect Master Lu Zhan and the Demon Venerable Mo Yun. It was truly a double celebration.

After two years of frequent trade, both the Human and Demon Realms had gained many benefits, and the relationship between the two races had already softened considerably.

In addition, everyone knew that the last Human Realm crisis had been successfully resolved by Lu Zhan and Mo Yun.

Therefore, among the Cultivators of the Human Realm, those offering blessings were the vast majority. The occasional discordant voices were quickly drowned out by the waves of public opinion.

At this time, the mountain peaks where the Yunxiao Sect was located were shrouded in mist, looking like a fairyland. The flowers, grass, and trees on the mountain were full of vitality. Red ribbons fluttered everywhere, blooming with brilliant light under the sunlight.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Zhan and Mo Yun walked hand in hand slowly toward the high platform of the Bonding Ceremony.

There was a hint of pleasure in Lu Zhan's eyes, and his expression was very soft. He was rarely dressed in a luxurious red robe embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, which made him look even more extraordinarily handsome.

Mo Yun was still in that same gorgeous red formal attire, with dark patterns embroidered on the robe, exuding a unique charm that made him look even more wickedly handsome.

His heart was surging with waves of excitement and joy. His eyes were slightly red as he looked with full of love at his Senior Brother, who was leading him forward. He had finally reached this day!
