Chapter 2125

On Peach Mountain, the various clans are not all that far apart!

Li Yueren still activated her magnificent flying boat, taking He Pingsheng and Tao Yaoyao with her to the Yuan clan.

Because the two clans have an especially close relationship and have supported each other for so many years, Li Yueren didn't even bring the other elders; she came alone with just He Pingsheng and Tao Yaoyao to the Yuan clan!

The Yuan clan is situated at the edge of the entire Peach Mountain.

"Hehehe... the Madam has arrived!"

The Yuan clan's Old Ancestor personally walked out the door to welcome them.

Li Yueren descended from the great ship and said, "Yuan Zhongtao, it's been many years since I last visited your Yuan clan!"

"Your Yuan clan's disciples are not bad now; I see Yuan Benchen will surely become a great vessel in the future!"

"Hehehe..." Yuan Zhongtao laughed and said, "Thanks to your blessing..."

"Please, please, please..."

"The main reason I invited you over this time is matters between the younger generation; let them interact more!"

"Exactly!" Li Yueren said while walking, "I plan to hand the Tao clan over to Yaoyao in the future; Yaoyao will be the nominal clan head, so the clan head bears the surname Tao, and those Tao clan disciples won't object!"

"As for actual affairs, He Pingsheng can make the decisions!"

"He Pingsheng will be our Tao clan's helmsman from now on; letting him and Yuan Benchen associate more is beneficial for both our clans!"

"Right, right, right, Madam, you're right!" Yuan Zhongtao said, "Come, let's go to my daoist training hall!"

"No need!" Li Yueren said, "Going to your training hall is inappropriate; better to go to your Yuan clan's main hall!"

With a clatter, the group arrived and sat down in the Yuan clan's grand hall.

That Yuan Benchen also came.

"Everyone, please sit!" Yuan Zhongtao waved a hand, and someone immediately came to serve tea.

The two God Kings chatted while drinking tea, all reminiscing about past hardships and present sweetness; He Pingsheng had no interest.

He just sat there leisurely sipping tea.

Of course, this Yuan Zhongtao is not someone He Pingsheng trusts, so when He Pingsheng drank tea he wouldn't just down it in one gulp.

He had to check first whether there was poison in the tea.

How to check?

Very simple.

Throw the tea directly into the Treasure Basin, then take it out again.

The information on this cup of tea would then emerge.

What kind of teacup, what material, what divine tea, what water was used to brew it?

Everything, clear and unmistakable.

If there were poison inside, it would also reveal the relevant information.

But this cup of tea was merely top-grade spirit tea with no extra ingredients, so He Pingsheng drank it with peace of mind.

"Ah..." After finishing a cup of tea, Yuan Zhongtao said, "Madam... how do you view the current situation on Peach Mountain?"

Li Yueren thought for a moment and said, "The current situation is naturally that the Nine Great Clans are the biggest; no one can surpass them in a short time!"

"However, looking at the long term, hehehe... our Tao clan will eventually have a seat!"

As she said this, Li Yueren glanced at He Pingsheng, her eyes full of expectation.

"And the Shang clan, the Shang clan cannot be underestimated either; those three siblings are all future outstanding talents!"

"Hehehe..." Speaking of this, Li Yueren laughed again and said, "Coincidentally, He Pingsheng and that Shang Yu are father and daughter; in the future our three clans can join hands and grow together; who will call the shots on Peach Mountain then is really not certain!"

"I don't think so!" Yuan Zhongtao shook his head and said, "Madam... some things, I feel that wishful thinking is all well and good, but you also have to look at the current structure!"

"Oh?" Li Yueren asked, "How do you see it?"

Yuan Zhongtao said, "The future is the future, the present is the present; no matter how extraordinarily gifted He Pingsheng is, he is ultimately only a God Monarch Realm Second Layer cultivator; wanting to become a God King, who knows what year or month that will be!"

"Also, whether he can grow up is hard to say!"

"After all, the Gongsun clan's resistance is right here!"

"Indeed so!" Li Yueren's gaze turned firm: "However, no matter what, this Palace must protect him so he grows up!"

"Sigh..." Yuan Zhongtao shook his head: "This is very difficult, Madam; how can there be the principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days?"

"I happen to have a win-win method!"

Li Yueren said, "Win-win? You speak..."

Yuan Zhongtao said, "I said it, don't get angry... this old servant feels that under the current situation, our best choice is to turn hostility into friendship!"

"Reconcile with the Gongsun clan; then everyone developing together wouldn't be better?"

Hearing these words, Li Yueren's complexion changed drastically.

He Pingsheng also instantly became vigilant.

This Yuan clan has a problem.

"Hahaha..." Just at this moment, a burst of coarse laughter rang out.

The grand hall's doors were pushed open.

A man dressed in a black Daoist robe walked into the grand hall; behind him followed sixteen God Venerable Realm experts in neat rows.

"Gongsun Shi Liu, it's you?" Li Yueren abruptly stood up, waving a hand to draw the treasure sword she carried.

"No, no, no..." Gongsun Shi Liu waved his hand and said, "Li Yueren ah... why such a big temper?"

"Our Gongsun clan has come today to seek peace!"

"Not to fight!"

"Must we fight?"

"Exactly!" Yuan Zhongtao said, "Madam, this old servant just told you, the best path right now is for everyone to get along amicably!"

"Road?" Li Yue Ren's face was ice-cold: "You're the one who chose this path for me?"

"Yuan Zhong Tao, you've got some nerve!"

Yuan Zhong Tao's expression turned ugly at once—not embarrassed, but ugly.

The kind of ugly that comes from deliberately giving someone a look.

"Hah..." Li Yue Ren took a deep breath, "Good... I get it now, Yuan Zhong Tao, you've betrayed our Tao family!"

"What betrayal, Li Yue Ren? Pointless!" Gongsun Shi Liu walked over and sat opposite Li Yue Ren, saying: "Everything before was just a misunderstanding!"

"Today we came here with only one purpose: everyone shake hands and make peace, turn weapons into jade and silk!"

"Hah... hahaha..." Li Yue Ren coldly laughed: "Fine... Gongsun Shi Liu, go ahead and say it—what do you want our Tao family to do?"

"Simple!" Gongsun Shi Liu said: "First, our two families make a contract, from now on, we keep to ourselves!"

"And you!"

Saying this, Gongsun Shi Liu glanced at He Pingsheng and said: "He Pingsheng... you must swear a sovereign oath, guaranteeing that no matter when or where, you will never oppose our Gongsun family!"

"And you will never strike against anyone of our Gongsun family!"

"As long as you swear, from now on we're all good friends!"

As he spoke, a pressure unique to a God King swept toward He Pingsheng.

Yet He Pingsheng made no move—he simply lifted his hand lightly, took a sip of tea, then said: "You're dreaming!"

Joking?

Make me swear?

Not strike against your Gongsun family?

What if one day I accidentally strike a stranger, and that stranger happens to be from your Gongsun family—wouldn't I, He Pingsheng, be doomed?

"Yaoyao..." He Pingsheng took Taoyao Yaoyao's hand, saying: "There's going to be a big fight soon—hide inside the Qiankun Pearl for now!"
