374. Chapter 374 Conditions

Doing things requires proper order.

Ruowosuosi Academy was inclined to agree to the request from the delegation of the Great Sage Michel's Tower.

Linke Grand also agreed to step forward and negotiate with Level Six Sage Kowell Ludwig.

However, there was no rush.

First, Lin Ke's wedding preparations were nearly complete, and it was about to be held;

Second, Ruowosuosi Academy could not possibly agree immediately after the delegation from the Great Sage Michel's Tower made its request.

That would make Ruowosuosi Academy appear to have lowered its status by one rank before the Great Sage Michel's Tower.

Since long ago, the Great Sage Michel's Tower has lacked the standing to speak with Ruowosuosi Academy on equal footing based on strength.

Setting aside those unrelated matters, Lin Ke and Mo Li's wedding began discreetly.

Lin Ke did not invite too many guests, nor did he make it as extravagant as the wedding of Asande Kont and Renee Clark.

He only invited Sage Paro, Sage Selin, Sage Cody, members of the 'Do Anything Freely' group, Old Man Murphy, and Polo Salosal.

Dean Freest received the invitation, but did not attend in person, merely sending a gift.

Such distance control was just right.

Lin Ke already had more than enough eyes on him.

If Dean Freest were to attend Lin Ke and Mo Li's wedding in person, it would likely put Lin Ke back in the eye of public controversy.

The wedding proceeded very smoothly, with no troublemakers popping up.

On the contrary, the Ruowosuosi Academy forum saw many comments from witches envying Mo Li Kidman.

Lin Ke and Mo Li's backgrounds were basically dug up.

The most striking, most envy-inducing fact was that Mo Li Kidman's wizard aptitude was actually rather poor, yet by latching onto the Grand Sage she had already won from the starting line.

In many witches' view, Linke Grand Sage at that time was a studious shut-in who only knew how to study, while Mo Li Kidman was a pot of already-brewed green tea.

Taking advantage of the proximity, the green tea fully displayed its tea-making skills and gradually hooked onto the Grand Sage.

Thus, Mo Li Kidman could rely on the resources and aid from the Grand Sage to become a third-level witch so quickly.

Earlier than her contemporary Lan Ni. Tai Le of the same upper-tier fifth-level aptitude, and faster than the vast majority of upper-tier fifth-level geniuses in past generations.

Expanding the scope to the entire wizard world, among wizards under twenty-five, only Lin Ke and Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke, the two sages, could be compared to the topmost talents of the greatest wizard forces.

That is, those who were shortlisted twice for the Supreme Council's screenings related to parallel universes.

After the wedding, Lan Ni. Tai Le learned of the commotion on the forum and was speechless.

The witches who waved the banner of 'sympathy' for Lan Ni. Tai Le were increasingly malicious and dirty.

Out of jealousy, they wanted to slander Mo Li Kidman, yet they used her as a foil.

Lan Ni. Tai Le decided that, after she herself advanced to third-level witch, she would settle accounts with those witches who had celebrated the most, one by one.

When will you advance to third-level witch?

Leaving Lin Ke and Mo Li's new home, on the way back to the academy's main world, Tiffany saw Lan Ni's action and couldn't help but ask.

The great upheaval unseen in millennia, after dispatching a five-person delegation from the wizard world to the parallel universe, has fully descended.

Throughout the wizard world, the cultivation speed of wizards below the rank of great sage is increasing.

Previously it took twenty or thirty years to become a sage, but with sufficient talent and opportunity, it might now take only seven or eight years.

Lan Ni. Tai Le's cultivation progress is actually not slow at all.

If it weren't for wanting to tread more steadily and accumulate more, she could actually rely on the great upheaval's tailwind and the resources of the DeioMande family to become a third-level witch before Mo Li.

It's just a different choice.

Thinking this, Lan Ni. Tai Le smiled and said, 'Right now! Right now!'

As her words fell, a mysterious fluctuation rose from Lan Ni. Tai Le's body, and her aura suddenly shifted.

In Tiffany's eyes, it was like a river flowing uphill from a lowland, climbing the high cliff and suddenly becoming a vast great river.

This scene left Tiffany feeling jealous.

She also had upper-tier fifth-level aptitude and had cultivated two years longer than Lan Ni. Tai Le, yet……

She only completed the advancement two days earlier than Lan Ni. Tai Le.

But soon Tiffany adjusted her mood.

The two followed, smiling, as they looked over at Sandra there, and returned to the academy's main world.

Sandra was naturally delighted.

Linke Grand's early promotion to sage is enough to prove that her stance holds firm.

Tiffany Kolonna and Lan Ni. Tai Le becoming third-level witches so quickly is certainly due to their own talent and effort, but Sandra's vision and nurturing cannot be denied.

Among the children of major families in the academy's main world, peers with upper-tier fifth-level aptitude still haven't produced even a single third-level witch.

The fourth generation of the DeioMande family will naturally look up to her, Sandra DeioMande!

After seeing off all the guests, Lin Ke and Mo Li finally had some free time.

The two ordered the smart housekeeper to clean the house, tidy up, and then retreated to the bridal room to put away the gifts.

Afterward, they leisurely enjoyed several days of wonderful married life.

Lin Ke and Mo Li had just left their cozy nest, each busying themselves with their own affairs.

Mo Li must continue to monitor the Grand family's industries, not neglect her own cultivation, and there are many matters.

As for Lin Ke, he proactively sought out Lady Lisandra, indicating that he could cooperate with the academy at any time and step forward to negotiate with Level Six Sage Kowell Ludwig.

For some reason, Lady Lisandra's attitude toward Lin Ke has changed.

It is no longer as opposed as before.

But both are aware that there is a thorn between them that cannot be pulled out.

Even if Lin Ke gets the chance to kill Suolun. Lukiya.

What's done is done, cannot be ignored.

Lady Lisandra had Lin Ke go back to make preparations; possibly this afternoon she will have him appear.

The academy also wouldn't let Lin Ke appear for nothing; the prepared rewards were even issued in advance.

The 'ammunition' of two bases has already been replenished into the interstellar fleet of the Grand Sage Legion.

This made Lin Ke quite pleased.

With two bases, we can fight another annihilation battle like last time.

Its value is roughly equivalent to six to twelve standard third‑grade Magic Stones.

This appearance fee is not low for a fourth‑level Grand Sage.

Time quickly came to the afternoon.

Under Lady Lisandra's guidance, Lin Ke came to a villa in the central district of Ruowosuosi City.

For every wizard faction's headquarters world, entry and exit controls are extremely strict.

Even an ally such as Meisuonulada University, the Ruowosuosi Academy will carefully decide whether to allow outsiders into the headquarters world.

Last time, it was Michel Grand Sage who personally summoned Lisandra, and only then did Kaoweier. Ludweiler bring Lisandra into the headquarters world of Michel Grand Sage's Tower.

Even so, along the way they openly made preparations, transferring several times.

The Ruowosuosi Academy receiving the delegation from Michel Grand Sage's Tower was naturally set in the native wizard world, in the central district of Ruowosuosi City.

Meeting face‑to‑face with Linke Grand was a demand that Kaoweier. Ludweiler repeatedly insisted upon.

This afternoon, it was finally satisfied. All other delegation members were excluded outside; in the huge conference hall, only Sixth‑level Grand Sage Kaoweier. Ludweiler waited for Lin Ke's arrival.

Lady Lisandra also found this scene quite unexpected.

"Lady, could you please avoid for a moment?"

The first words Kaoweier. Ludweiler spoke upon opening his mouth were even more shocking.

"Impossible."

Lady Lisandra didn't even think, she directly refused.

This demand is truly unreasonable, showing an overreaching attitude.

"Alright."

Kaoweier. Ludweiler was not at all surprised to receive such a reply.

He actually shrugged his shoulders, behaving somewhat frivolously; his tone, posture, and movements were not very proper.

Lady Lisandra couldn't help but frown.

Even with prior preparations, the academy judged that Kaoweier. Ludweiler specifically requesting a talk with Linke Grand must be hiding some nasty trick.

But when the moment arrived, Lady Lisandra felt that she and her companions were still overly optimistic.

At that moment, Kaoweier. Ludweiler turned his head to look at the composed and calm Lin Ke, smiling and saying: "Hello, Grand Sage, I am Kaoweier. Ludweiler; we have met before."

"We have met, Grand Sage Ludweiler."

Lin Ke gave a brief reply, saying nothing more.

Before coming, Lin Ke had already set the principles for today's meeting.

Listen more, watch more, think more, speak less.

Kaoweier smiled, not feeling that Lin Ke's subtly guarded manner was offensive; rather, he rather appreciated it.

Good, he hasn't become a Grand Sage just because he's young, nor has he become conceited after beating a contemporary super‑genius in the High Council.

Only wizards who constantly hold humility and caution can continually climb to the peak.

The reason is simple; such wizards are not so prone to falter midway (cu).

Even if a dead genius were still a genius, he would still be a corpse.

Only a living genius can continually realize his potential.

Linke Grand's such demeanor is worthy of the matters he is about to discuss.

Kaoweier turned his head back, looking at Lady Lisandra, and said in an extremely solemn and earnest tone: "Michel Grand Sage has decided to give up the Michel District in exchange for Linke Grand Grand Sage joining Michel Grand Sage's Tower."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Lisandra was so shocked she almost jumped up.

Michel Grand Sage wants to give up the Michel District?

This news directly shattered Lady Lisandra's composure.

"Lady, you didn't hear wrong."

Kaoweier's mouth curled with a smile as he appreciated Lady Lisandra's flustered state and her wavering emotions, causing the beautiful sight of fruits constantly undulating on the slender branches.

Only after Lady Lisandra gradually regained her composure and glared at him did Kaoweier finally withdraw his deliberately blatant gaze.

Yes, Kaoweier deliberately did that.

Only by continually stimulating Lady Lisandra's intellect could the ensuing negotiations possibly unfold.

Following this principle, Kaoweier continued to raise the stakes: "Lady, I might as well speak plainly—Michel Grand Sage has already made up his mind to give up the Michel District. However, whether it will be given to your Ruowosuosi Academy or to other forces qualified to independently establish a district depends on whether you can meet our conditions."

Pausing, Kaoweier emphasized word by word: "Our conditions are very simple—that Linke Grand Grand Sage transfers into our Michel Grand Sage's Tower."

Having said that, Kaoweier nodded at Linke, showed a friendly smile, and then strode away.

Walking to the conference hall door, Kaoweier stopped again, without turning back, and said: "Seven days. From when I proposed meeting with Linke Grand Grand Sage for talks until you agreed to this request, a total of seven days passed. So I also give you seven days to consider carefully."

Only Lin Ke and Lady Lisandra remained in the conference hall.

Each had different feelings and thoughts.

Not long after, Lady Lisandra completely calmed down, looked at the composed Lin Ke, opened her mouth to say something, but then swallowed her words.

Her behavior just now was truly inappropriate.

It is totally not in line with her identity and strength as a True Spirit Witch Level 6 Sage.

This point is very strange.

I don't know what method Kao Wei Er. Lu De Wei Er used, but it actually stirred her emotions.

In shock, a person's outward expression is the true reflection of their inner thoughts.

Ms. Li Sang De La knew Lin Ke had also studied True Spirit Witch, and his level was not bad.

Of course she knew; upon hearing the condition proposed by Kao Wei Er. Lu De Wei Er, she instantly exposed her true thoughts.

That is, taking Linke Grand to exchange for the Mi Xie Er Area is especially worthwhile.

Thus, the atmosphere between them was actually quite stiff.

Lin Ke adhered to the principle of listening more, watching more, thinking more, speaking less, staying calm, with no intention to speak up.

Ms. Li Sang De La couldn't save face, and explained to Lin Ke that her earlier behavior was due to falling for Kao Wei Er. Lu De Wei Er's trick; even if she had thoughts, she would not act lightly.

Alright, this matter cannot be explained clearly.

"You go back yourself."

Ms. Li Sang De La is not a hesitant person; since it cannot be explained clearly, she will not explain, and said so in her tone.

"Hmm."

Lin Ke nodded, stood up, and left.

There was no delay, and he did not reveal his thoughts.

"Alas!"

Ms. Li Sang De La sighed, a thought moved her, she teleported instantly, and arrived at Dean Fu Li Si Te's office.

"Are you really moved?"

Dean Fu Li Si Te stood by the window, gazing eastward.

The Mi Xie Er Tower of the Great Sage lies in that direction.

"Hmm."

Ms. Li Sang De La did not conceal anything, and answered frankly.

"If it were me, I would also be moved."

Dean Fu Li Si Te turned around and said firmly, "But this condition, we cannot accept."

"Why?"

Ms. Li Sang De La asked in a light tone.

She merely wanted to know what her brother thought, and did not necessarily intend to exchange Linke Grand for the Mi Xie Er Area.

"For the specific reason, go ask your grandfather."

Dean Fu Li Si Te did not explain, but teleported away, leaving only a sentence.

"Linke Grand is more valuable than the Mi Xie Er Area."
