“You…” General Leng’s fatal acupoint was hit, and he gripped the sword at his waist tightly.

Xiao Zhonghua finally agreed.

Everyone was blindfolded by the disciples of the White Lotus Society and brought into a courtyard in the peach forest.

After untying the black cloth, Xiao Zhonghua asked, “Where’s the Sect Master?”

“I’ll negotiate with you today.”

An old man with white hair walked over with his hands behind his back. He cupped his hands politely. “I’m Qiu Yutang, the Great Elder of the White Lotus Society.”

His gaze landed on Xiao Zhonghua and he said with a smile, “This must be the

Third Prince. Nice to meet you! May I know who is the Marquis of Zhenbei?”

The Old Marquis asked, “Are you blind?”

The Great Elder choked.

The few of them went to the guest’s central room.

Xiao Zhonghua and the First Elder sat at the master seat. On the left and right were the Old Marquis and a guardian of the White Lotus Society.

The others also sat down according to their status.

The Great Elder smiled and said, “Let’s not beat around the bush. Since the

Imperial Court is here to negotiate, we must be prepared to be sincere. Our

White Lotus Society originally had no intention of becoming enemies with the Imperial Court, but there are always people who have done many evil things in the name of the White Lotus Society and destroyed our reputation. In order to prove our reputation, our White Lotus Society has decided to stand up and serve the people with the Imperial Court.”

The Old Marquis rolled his eyes.

It was an ancestral eye roll. Su Cheng had the same style.

The corners of the Great Elder’s mouth twitched as he continued to smile. “To show our sincerity, we’ve decided to let you see one of the hostages first.” He clapped his hands.

Two disciples of the White Lotus Society pressed a disheveled young man in.

Leng Rui shouted, “Dad… save me…”

“Rui’er!” General Leng stood up.

Crack…

The two disciples drew their swords and placed them on Leng Rui’s neck.

General Leng stopped in his tracks.

The Great Elder smiled and said, “The other hostage is fine. After all, he’s an old acquaintance of our White Lotus Society.”

These words were intriguing.

Xiao Zhonghua did not answer and said calmly, “First Elder, state your conditions. ”

The Great Elder was a little surprised that Xiao Zhonghua was so calm at such a young age. He was not led by the nose at all.

He smiled and said, “I like to interact with straightforward people like the Third Prince. Actually, our White Lotus Society’s request is very simple. We want the people to worship the White Lotus Society as the Orthodoxy and the Emperor of Great Zhou will acknowledge the Sect Master as the State Preceptor. From now on, the White Lotus Society will advance and retreat with the Imperial Court.”

He used the word ‘acknowledge’ instead of ‘appoint’.

The difference of one word meant the world.

With an appointment, the State Preceptor was his subordinate, but with an acknowledgment, the State Preceptor was his teacher.

This was asking the Emperor of Great Zhou to personally worship the Sect Master of the White Lotus Society as a great Buddha.

On the Imperial Court’s side, everyone’s expressions were not good.

“Third Prince?” The First Elder smiled at Xiao Zhonghua, as if he did not realize how shameless he had been with his words.

Xiao Zhonghua frowned.
