She Shilang wanted the angel race’s Saintess to go back with them. After all, the clan leader could not leave under normal circumstances. Yu Huaqing was the main decision-maker, so there was no way he could accompany She Shilang on a long journey.
As such, each race normally had another representative for such undertakings. In the angel race, this role fell to the Saintess, whereas in other races, there might be a different form of address or title.
In any case, their duty was very simple. They represented their race in external affairs.
Therefore, as long as the angel race’s Saintess followed him back, it meant that the angel race had taken the red snake race’s side.
He had also inquired about the angel race’s ranking before coming.
Thanks to their performance in the hunt, the angel race’s ranking had jumped up significantly, even surpassing that of the dragon race.
As such, they had clout. With the support of the angel race, they would be able to even the odds against them and bring the issue to the negotiating table.
At this moment, they did not even have the standing to negotiate with the other party.
After Yu Huaqing heard what he said, he felt a headache coming on.
He too, knew of this method.
However, their Saintess had left the angel race more than half a year ago. The new Saintess was still in the process of being nurtured. She did not have the ability and qualifications to represent the angel race in negotiations.
The angel race had the previous Saintess, Yu Shengxuan.
However, she could only be a teacher.
She could not represent the angel race in negotiations.
She was responsible for cultivating more saintesses for the angel race, so that the saintess’ lineage could continue.
If Yu Shengxuan left, and something happened to her, the angel race would suffer a great loss.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Yu Huaqing’s troubled expression, She Shilang was quite nervous and scared.
“Please help us for the sake of our past relationship, if you don’t help us this time, we don’t know who else to turn to.”
“Please allow the Saintess to come with us. I, She Shilang, swear on my dignity that I will never let the Saintess come to harm. We can even offer you tribute.”
If She Shilang’s current actions were seen by his clansmen, they would lower their heads in shame. A clan leader was begging others for a favor.
However, there was no other way.
“Please help me.”
“I’m begging you, please help me,” She Shilang begged bitterly.
Yu Huaqing stood up and took a deep breath.
“You don’t have to be like this.”
“I, Yu Huaqing, will definitely help you with this matter. Your ancestors once saved the angel race. We are not ungrateful people.”
“How about this… I’ll go with you.”
“I’ll help you to negotiate with them. That way, you can rest assured.”
She Shilang was touched.
Yu Huaqing was a good person.
He was really a good person.
Their red snake race paled in comparison to the angel race. She Shilang himself had only reached the first grade of the Dao realm, yet the clan leader of the angel race was still willing to go with him.
This really moved him!
Still, he had to know his limits.
“Clan leader, you don’t have to come with us personally. Please allow your Saintess to come with us instead. We can’t possibly trouble you with such a small matter. After all, this matter may take a few months to resolve.”
Yu Huaqing was vexed. He wanted to send the Saintess too!
However, the Saintess had run off with Yuchi.
The current saintess-in-training was only four years old!
After some thought, Yu Huaqing said frankly, “Old friend, our Saintess isn’t around for the time being due to some matters. I’ll follow you there. It won’t be too much of a hassle.”
Ah?
The Saintess was not around?
She Shilang was confused. How could the Saintess not be around? The race’s external affairs representatives were supposed to be available when needed.
That was why the race invested so much resources into them.
If the Saintess was not here, then where was she?
He had investigated the angel race’s affairs recently, and nothing they had done warranted the assignment of their Saintess.
Was he to believe that the representative of the angel race was running around somewhere?
Yu Huaqing did not know how to explain.
After thinking about it, he said, “How about this, old friend. Rest for a day here. After I’ve made the necessary arrangements, I’ll follow you back.”
Although She Shilang was confused, he still nodded gratefully.
After all, this would still resolve the red snake race’s problem. As such, the matter was settled just like that.
He walked around the palace of the angel race with mixed feelings. Then, he met the former Saintess of the angel race, Yu Shengxuan.
After meeting the other party and expressing their gratitude, She Shilang did not dare to probe further.
Yu Shengxuan had an elegant posture and she asked kindly, “Then, did the clan leader say anything?”
She Shilang immediately told Yu Shengxuan of the solution that Yu Huaqing had just proposed.
“That’s good then. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“Since the clan leader is going with you, your race should be out of the woods soon.”
She Shilang nodded repeatedly.
He was really grateful.
Yu Shengxuan smiled and said, “You must be curious as to why our Saintess isn’t around, right?”
She Shilang immediately nodded.
Then…
He shook his head.
No.
‘I’m not curious, really!’
He did not dare to be curious.
The small races should not probe into the matters of the major races, lest they invite unwanted trouble.
Yu Shengxuan, on the other hand, shook her head in a friendly manner. Yuchi’s image appeared in her mind and she smiled, “You don’t need to be so nervous. Your race is our angel race’s benefactor. We don’t need to hide anything from you. This isn’t a secret, either. I’ll tell you what happened.”
