Chapter 2915: and translation of chapter title
Junior brother, let's go meet this Shadow Demon Race Seventh Prince together.
Third senior brother, I'm not going, okay? Baihua and the others are waiting for me at home.
Xu Jie spoke confidently, but Ye Zhangqing beside him shook his head.
Seeing this, Xu Jie's mouth twitched, and without further ado he grabbed Ye Zhangqing's neck and dragged him away, muttering as he walked.
We're fellow disciples, won't you accompany me?
I…………………
You value beauty over friends.
Wait for me, junior brother.
Still, Xu Jie forcibly dragged him to Ah Jiu's residence, a small courtyard not big.
Compared to where Ye Zhangqing and the others live, it's naturally incomparable, but compared to this crowded city nowadays, it's already not bad; two people living there doesn't feel cramped.
Upon hearing that Ye Zhangqing was coming, Ah Jiu and Lao Qi, the two brothers, respectfully waited in the courtyard to greet him.
Ah Jiu was naturally delighted; with Ye Zhangqing back, wouldn't he be able to enjoy fresh meals again?
As for Lao Qi, he curiously sized him up, after all it was his first time seeing Ye Zhangqing.
Faced with the two brothers' respectful salute, Ye Zhangqing and Zhao Zhengping did not respond; instead, Xu Jie waved his hand and said with a smile.
There's no need for formalities, I also heard the Seventh Prince had come, so I specially came to pay a visit.
Huh???
Upon hearing that, Lao Qi was stunned; does he really have such stature?
But before Lao Qi could react, in a daze he was greeted by Xu Jie and seated on the stone bench in Yuàn zhōng.
After everyone sat around the table, Xu Jie took out his cherished immortal tea and personally brewed tea for everyone.
After this series of operations, Ah Jiu and his two brothers were left bewildered.
Only after leisurely sipping tea did Xu Jie slowly speak.
The Seventh Prince's arrival in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens truly helped our Human Race greatly.
Huh???
What do you mean by that, Xú Shīxiōng?
Upon hearing that, Lao Qi said with a doubtful face, 'I came to the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, and in less than a day I was sold off, then just ate plain meals; how could I have helped anything?'
However, seeing Xu Jie's ambiguous smile, Lao Qi instinctively felt this guy was up to something, surely not thinking anything good.
And Ye Zhangqing beside him remained silent from start to finish.
This kind of thing is Xu San's specialty; I'd better not meddle. Besides, if I hadn't been accused of valuing beauty over friends and forcibly dragged here, I wouldn't be sitting here.
I can roughly guess Xu Jie's plan: nothing more than using Lao Qi's identity to deceive the Feather God Tribe once more.
After all, compared to those Feather God Tribe members before, Lao Qi currently shows not the slightest hint of anything amiss.
Originally sent by the Feather God Tribe to gather intelligence, now Lao Qi sending a message back makes his credibility absolutely maxed out for them.
Thus, there are many ways to exploit Lao Qi.
Given Xu Jie's character of plucking feathers from a passing goose and kicking a dog, he would naturally not miss such an opportunity.
Ye Zhangqing thought so, but Xu Jie's next words made him involuntarily frown tightly.
All that was heard was Xu Jie speaking with a smiling face, gently.
The Seventh Prince need not panic; I harbor no ill will. Since the Seventh Prince has already turned from darkness to light, we are family, and family naturally does not harm family.
Really?
Upon hearing Xu Jie's words, although the other party appeared exceedingly kind, Lao Qi still felt something was off inside.
He asked subconsciously, and the answer he got was naturally Xu Jie nodding heavily.
That's a given, so the Seventh Prince needn't be too nervous; I've heard your Shadow Demon Race's innate divine ability can't even be seen through by primordial races?
Upon hearing that, Lao Qi, not knowing what Xu Jie meant, nodded and answered truthfully.
As long as we don't take the initiative, it's indeed impossible to see through.
And what about the Feather God Tribe? Can they see through it?
No, either; after all, this is an innate divine ability we are born with, not learned from the Feather God Tribe.
Good.
Upon saying that, Xu Jie slapped his thigh hard, his face full of excitement, and shouted.
Senior Brother, this is………………
Seeing Xu Jie like this, Lao Qi felt increasingly unsure in his heart.
He really wanted to say, 'Senior Brother, don't scare me; where are you taking me to sell?'
He always had a feeling that he was about to be schemed against, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what the problem was for a while.
Not only Lao Qi, but Ye Zhangqing also had the same feeling.
Xu San's words are wrong; this plan isn't about having Lao Qi copy the method and scheme the Feather God Tribe again, is it?
Why ask about their innate divine ability? At this point, shouldn't we be discussing with Lao Qi how to contact the Feather God Tribe and then finalize our story?
He always felt he had misunderstood; Xu Jie's plan was completely different from what he had imagined.
Out of curiosity, Ye Zhangqing secretly sent a voice transmission asking.
Xu San, what exactly is your plan?
Don't panic, junior brother; this time we're going for a big score.
Huh???
Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing fell silent; 'A big score? Old Three, what do you intend to do?'
Nobody knew what medicine Xu Jie was selling in his gourd; after receiving Lao Qi's affirmative reply, Xu Jie's smile widened, and he continued speaking unhurriedly.
Seventh Prince, I have here an immature plan, but this plan requires your Shadow Demon Race's full cooperation; I suppose the Seventh Prince wouldn't refuse, right?
We need to keep quotes? The Chinese includes 「」. Should we keep them? The instruction: translate faithfully, preserve every paragraph break. It doesn't say to drop quotation marks. Usually we keep them as part of translation. We'll keep the Chinese quotation marks? Better to replace with English quotes? Usually we keep the original punctuation. The Chinese uses 「」 which are Chinese quotation marks. We can keep them as is, or replace with English quotes. The instruction: "Render EXACTLY what the source says — same meaning, same information, nothing added." The source includes 「」. So we should keep them. However the output is English; we could keep the Chinese quotes as they are part of the source. It's acceptable. We'll keep them.

So, Xu Jie's remark is somewhat premature.

However, Xu Jie doesn't care about these; whether the Shadow Demon Race surrenders or not is your own business; if you don't surrender, I'll kill you; if you surrender, we'll jointly undertake the great cause.

What? We're supposed to jointly undertake the great plan, but the preceding matters aren't settled yet—why are you discussing the plan with me now?

Moreover, Xu Jie is doing this to pressure the Shadow Demon Race into making a quick decision; you've all heard my plan, and if you still refuse to surrender, that would be rather inappropriate, right?

All the secrets are known to you now; if in the end you can't become one of us, then you can only be enemies, and when the time comes wiping out your Shadow Demon Race would also be justified, wouldn't it?
