Chapter 1938

At this moment, the hearts of Wu Guozhang and Wu Shouzhuo, father and son, finally settled down.

Fortunately, they brought Ye Xiao with them on this trip. Otherwise, how could they keep the golden seal?

Zhang Shuwen was extremely shocked. He knew the strength of the Heavenly Master, and he had also met Ye Xiao once, but in his eyes at that time, Ye Xiao was just a junior whom Wu Shouzhuo was optimistic about. He never expected that this person could make the Heavenly Master lose.

Before this, Zhang Shuwen dared not even dream of it.

"Huh!" A thick turbid air came out of the Heavenly Master's nostrils, and his face was extremely ugly.

He had never been as embarrassed as today in the thirty years he had been in charge of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

"Mr. Wu, how can you return this golden seal that originally belonged to my Heavenly Master's Mansion to me?"

The Heavenly Master ignored Ye Xiao and turned his head to Wu Guozhang and asked.

After the fight just now, he has truly understood that as long as Ye Xiao is here, it is impossible to seize by force, so he can only hope to negotiate with Wu Guozhang.

However, the Heavenly Master still wants to gain some upper hand in the negotiation, which can be seen from his choice of words.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Wu Guozhang is not a character that can be fooled. Moreover, the Heavenly Master has no advantage in force, and he still wants to be domineering in the negotiation. How can this be allowed?

As Ye Xiao expected, in response to the questioning of the Heavenly Master, Wu Guozhang just laughed and said, "Tianshi, I came to discuss with you so late, which shows that I am very sincere."

"But from your previous behavior, Tianshi, your sincerity is not very sufficient!"

"You have also seen that until now, the golden seal is still in our hands. If the Heavenly Master continues to talk to us with the attitude just now, I think your Tianshi Mansion will not be able to get the golden seal back."

The Heavenly Master came up and asked for the crime, and then he directly attacked Ye Xiao. After all, Wu Guozhang is a political leader who can run for the leader of Penglai. He is not a soft persimmon. How can he let the Heavenly Master control him?

Although Wu Guozhang wanted the Tianshi Mansion to agree to some conditions, he also understood the significance of the golden seal to the Heavenly Master and the Tianshi Mansion, so he did not indulge the other party at all.

Hearing what Wu Guozhang said, Tianshi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Just as Wu Guozhang expected, Tianshi cared about this golden seal very much, but he was still unwilling to bow to Wu Guozhang and others.

So he quietly winked at Zhang Shuwen on the side.

Zhang Shuwen stood up and said, "Uncle Wu, I think you misunderstood. Tianshi and I are looking forward to negotiating with you and welcoming back the golden seal."

"As long as your conditions can be met by my Tianshi Mansion and do not harm the interests of my Tianshi Mansion, we can talk."

Zhang Shuwen understood the demands of the Wu family and Tianshi himself, and whether he was standing from the perspective of a member of Tianshi Mansion or from the perspective of Wu Shouzhuo's friend, Zhang Shuwen was very happy to facilitate this matter.

First of all, if the ordination golden seal returned to Tianshi Mansion, Tianshi Mansion would not have any trouble on the issue of inheritance.

Secondly, if the Heavenly Master rejected Gao Qimei's conditions, then the Heavenly Master's Mansion would not be at odds with the Wu family, and he could continue to be friends with Wu Shouzhuo.

Wu Guozhang was more respectful to Zhang Shuwen, so he stopped making things difficult and said calmly: "Heavenly Master, can the words of my nephew Shuwen represent your opinion?"

After that, Wu Guozhang folded his hands on the stone table and waited quietly for the Heavenly Master's response.

"Hmm!" The Heavenly Master responded expressionlessly.

At this point, what else can he do except listen to the conditions offered by Wu Guozhang?

Moreover, the Heavenly Master also knew the conditions that Wu Guozhang was going to propose. Except for offending Gao Qimei, there should be no loss to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so he was not unacceptable.

"Well, I have three conditions in total. If the Heavenly Master can do them all, I will personally deliver the golden seal to the Heavenly Master's Mansion on the day of the consecration ceremony."

Wu Guozhang said with a smile.

He had learned from some news that Gu Changqing had contacted the Heavenly Master privately and would also attend the Consecration Ceremony. Wu Guozhang naturally guessed the purpose of Gu Changqing's doing so.

Since the Consecration Ceremony could not be changed, and the other two competitors would also appear at the same time, how could he be absent?

The Heavenly Master nodded and motioned Wu Guozhang to continue.

"The first condition is that I ask the Heavenly Master's Mansion to refuse to cooperate with Gao Qimei." Wu Guozhang stared at the Heavenly Master and spoke clearly.

This condition was the most urgent for Wu Guozhang's side to agree to the Heavenly Master, and it was also the most critical existence in this negotiation.

After Wu Guozhang finished speaking, Ye Xiao, Wu Shouzhuo and Zhang Shuwen all cast their eyes on the Heavenly Master. Although the three of them stood in different positions, the three of them hopedThe answers he heard were the same.

"Yes!" The Heavenly Master agreed without any hesitation.

Because this condition was within his expectations and the price was affordable. In fact, the Heavenly Master himself did not want to agree to what Gao Qimei asked him to do.

Gao Qimei was just a politician. If he failed, he could do something else or even flee overseas, but the Heavenly Master's Mansion could not escape. Only on the land of Longguo could his identity as a Heavenly Master be recognized by believers.

If he angered the inland government and the inland Taoist Association, how could his Heavenly Master's Mansion still gain a foothold on the land of Longguo for a long time?

Wu Guozhang smiled slightly and continued, "Second, I need you, the Heavenly Master, to support me in the consecration ceremony and the election."

It was not enough for the Heavenly Master to refuse to cooperate with Gao Qimei in Wu Guozhang's view. Since Gao Qimei could use the Heavenly Master's Mansion to make a fuss and add heat to his election, why couldn't he do it.

After a little hesitation, the Heavenly Master agreed to Wu Guozhang's condition.

This is actually beneficial to the Tianshi Mansion. If the Tianshi goes back on his word to Gao Qimei, even if he offends the current Penglai leader, even if the Tianshi Mansion is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Penglai government, Gao Qimei still has many ways to cause trouble for the Tianshi Mansion.

If the Tianshi Mansion stands on the side of the Wu family, then in the future, facing Gao Qimei's revenge, there will be a balance of power in the Penglai government.

"Third, I hope that the Tianshi can keep the agreement we reached today confidential, even to the closest relatives. I even need you to express your position to stabilize Gao Qimei."

Wu Guozhang said his last condition.

Now there are still five days before the consecration ceremony. Wu Guozhang needs to prevent Gao Qimei from making other arrangements after learning that he has instigated the Tianshi.

"Okay!" The Tianshi agreed to this quite readily.

Since he agreed to Wu Guozhang's second condition, it means that his Tianshi Mansion will belong to the same camp as Wu Guozhang in the future. On this basis, Tianshi naturally hopes that Wu Guozhang can finally win the election.

Then it is no big deal for him to make some confusing moves for Gao Qimei.

Tianshi even feels that he can make Gao Qimei act according to the original plan without expressing his position, because there is one person who can perfectly convey his attitude.

That is Zhang Naichao.

Tianshi knows very well that Zhang Naichao is the one who firmly supports Gao Qimei's election in Tianshi Mansion, so as long as he can deal with Zhang Naichao, Gao Qimei will naturally not need him to worry about it.

Hearing that Tianshi agreed to everything, Wu Shouzhuo and Zhang Shuwen both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this matter has gone through many twists and turns, it was finally done by them.

Ye Xiao and Wu Guozhang, however, did not take it too seriously, because from the moment Ye Xiao got the golden seal of ordination, they had guessed that this would be the result.

"Mr. Wu, I can meet all three of your conditions, but I have one request that I hope Mr. Wu can agree to." At this time, the Heavenly Master spoke coldly.
