Chapter 1681 1680: Negotiation or War

Not long after.

Just as Fang Yu had anticipated.

Old Jiang truly arrived in a carriage, hastily making his way here.

Even though Fang Yu had foreseen this long ago, knowing everything in advance, he still pretended as if he understood nothing.

He went out together with the Cui Family to greet Old Jiang.

Stepped off the carriage.

Old Jiang was respectful and deferential.

Upon seeing Fang Yu appear.

Bowed slightly toward Fang Yu.

"Mr. Fang."

"Is there something Old Jiang needed from me?" Fang Yu asked forthrightly.

"It's a crucial matter, I would like to talk to Master Fang privately."

"Alright."

The two of them entered, found a secluded room within the villa.

Fang Yu also knew that Pavilion Master's divine sense lingered on Old Jiang. But he decided to feign complete ignorance.

Plans strategically.

Inside the room.

"I have already met the Divine Race's strongest, Pavilion Master Ning. He knows about your real identity, that you are from Earth, and your intentions. He wants me to convey a message to you; he hopes to meet you, to talk privately."

Fang Yu showed a very surprised expression.

Feeling somewhat inconceivable.

After a long period, he finally calmed down.

This act could easily win an Oscar for Best Actor.

"Since Pavilion Master knows my identity and purpose, why not destroy me?" Fang Yu directly asked.

"I don't know that. He just asks me to inquire your attitude and opinion. If possible, you both can arrange a place to meet."

"Pavilion Master's strength and cultivation must far exceed mine. If I go, wouldn't I fall into a dangerous situation?" Fang Yu said.

"That shouldn't be the case. If it were, he could have others in high positions surround you, leaving you no room to maneuver. Even if you had three heads and six arms, you couldn't possibly resist twenty or thirty high-level beings."

These words were indeed reasonable.

Fang Yu nodded.

In other words.

He probably has other things to discuss with me.

"What if I refuse to go?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Up until now, no one in the Divine Race has refused Pavilion Master's request. Don't forget, he is the strongest of the Divine Race. He is entitled to demand anything from anyone within the Divine Race. Pavilion Master's stance is clear: either war or negotiation."

"..."

Fang Yu smiled slightly, then displayed a hint of embarrassment. Continuing the act.

"Looks like he's determined to negotiate. Seems I have no choice but to comply. Let's find a place."

Old Jiang suddenly turned a bit grim.

As if under some kind of command.

Said directly.

"Pavilion Master says he hopes to meet you on the second Order Planet. There, you have a very good environment for discussion."

"Alright, but I don't know where the second Order Planet is, at that time you'll have to guide me."

"That's no problem."

After finishing this, Old Jiang's expression returned to calmness. Fang Yu knew that just now, Old Jiang's consciousness was under control.

But Fang Yu couldn't show he knew nothing.

After all, he was in the realm of Great Perfect God.

"Why does your face look grim? Could it be Pavilion Master's consciousness resides in you?"

"..."

"Just joking with you. I always operate simply and never use consciousness to control others. When you attempted to kill me, I learned your consciousness only to defend myself. We doctors always heal the world, such dishonorable acts aren't what we do."

"..."

Fang Yu's words were quite malicious, who knows what Pavilion Master thinks upon hearing them.

"That's very true, Master Fang."

"Also, taking advantage of weaknesses is despicable and shameless. Your divine sense is very weak now. Higher-ups might take advantage of this to invade your divine sense, so you must be cautious."

"Understood."

"Given Pavilion Master, as Divine Race's strongest, holds such high status, he should not act this way. Defend against rogues, not gentlemen; what you need to guard against are the deceitful high-level beings. For instance, even now our conversation might be eavesdropped by some high-level being, wouldn't you say?"

"Yes." Old Jiang was sweating on his forehead.

He's caught in the middle now.

Even knowing Fang Yu's intentional words, he can only cooperate.

"We'll leave it here for today. Pick me up tomorrow."

"It's settled then."

Old Jiang felt mentally and physically drained, wishing not to linger here. After all, this wasn't his courtyard, staying meant nothing.

Additionally, Pavilion Master's consciousness remained with him.

Feeling bare and transparent, being seen through entirely, he disliked this but was powerless to change it. Only by returning could he rid himself of such feelings.

Old Jiang hurriedly left in the carriage.

Ye Wenjun then came over to understand the situation.

Merely hearing about setting a meeting with him.

Ye Wenjun was somewhat worried.

"Going alone, will he do you harm? The second Order Planet is barren, suitable for conflict. With his cultivation, he could seal it completely, kill you without anyone knowing." Ye Wenjun voiced.

"It's unlikely. At this realm, one can create independent spaces for ambush; he doesn't need to lure me to the Order Planet."

"Perhaps there's another purpose on that planet?"

"The only explanation relates to Heavenly Ladder. He likely wants to discuss it with me, as for attacking, he's not confident. Otherwise, he'd meet me directly, wouldn't you say?"

"That's true."

Ye Wenjun nodded, hesitated but said, "I'll go with you. I'm a bit worried."

"Don't worry. Bringing you isn't ideal. I should go alone."

"But..."

"Don't fret, trust me. Whenever handling such matters, don't I always return victorious? This time is no different!"

"But this time you're facing Divine Race's strongest, the most powerful among the ten great planets."

"I'm not weak either. Remember, Great God Lord realm isn't necessarily weaker than their Great Perfect God."

"Alright then."

"Also, come over here, I have a special task for you." Fang Yu's lips curled into a smile.

Ye Wenjun obediently walked over.

"Given the enemy is the strongest this time, if I'm delayed, wait ten days. After ten days without my return, use the Pocket World Shuttle, enter the Heavenly Ladder, and destroy it."

Fang Yu held the Pocket World Shuttle, securely placing it in Ye Wenjun's palm.

"You..."
