Chapter 118 Return to Nanling, An Unfair Deal
After the banquet, apart from Si Hanye, Mo Yu, and Bing Yao, only a few core members of the Demon Alliance remained in the entire council hall.
His gaze fell, and Si Hanye gently stroked the sleeping little rabbit in his palm, listening as everyone recounted the recent changes in the situation in Nanling.
When it came to serious matters, Mo Yu also put away his usual somewhat unreliable demeanor.
He said, "Just a few days after you and Bingyao left Nanling, Zhongming came to the Demon Alliance, requesting the release of his younger brother Zhongda! To show his sincerity, he even offered to give the Demon Alliance 20% of the development rights to the Mingshan mine! This is no small matter, and I dare not make a decision on my own. I have only sent him back for the time being!"
Mo Yu actually had his own selfish motives; he didn't want to let Zhong Da go when they were vying for the Purple Leaf Heavenly Jade Grass. The other party, in league with the Demon Sect, launched a sneak attack and assassination attempt against them.
That war was so brutal that all his men died in battle, and even Bingyao almost lost her life.
He will definitely avenge this!
He wished he could tear Zhongda to pieces with his own hands, and he would not agree even if Zhongming offered an entire mine in exchange.
If it weren't for the master's orders not to touch him, Mo Yu would have already rushed into the Demon-Suppressing Prison and torn him to pieces. How could he have tolerated him living to this day...
However, considering the bigger picture and the development of the Demon Alliance, even if Mo Yu was unwilling, he had to obey his master's orders.
Upon hearing this, even the usually calm Bingyao couldn't help but change her expression. Mingshan is one of the major super mineral veins in the Nanling Territory.
The gold crystals produced there are of extremely high quality and are a key material for crafting superior magical artifacts.
If they could truly acquire 20% of the mining rights to the Mingshan mines, then the Demon Alliance would have a certain degree of control over the major super mines in the entire Nanling territory.
This will undoubtedly bring huge benefits to the sustainable development of the Demon Alliance.
Mo Yu sneered, “I didn’t expect Zhong Ming to care so much about his cowardly younger brother, and to be willing to spend so much money on him.”
"Zhongda is indeed afraid of death, but it cannot be denied that he is quite capable and is also Zhongming's biological brother."
"Furthermore, the power struggle within the Li tribe has reached a fever pitch, and now is the time when people are in dire need. Zhongda is his brother's most loyal supporter, both for public and private reasons! Zhongming is doing everything he can to save him." A hunched old man beside him spoke in a hoarse voice, but his words were quite pertinent.
Mo Yu couldn't help but curl his lip, his eyes filled with disdain. Even if Zhong Da had extraordinary abilities, he had always despised this kind of treacherous nature.
Bingyao nodded, agreeing with the old man. Although she herself had almost lost her life in that battle, all of that was in the past now.
Killing Zhongda would bring no benefit other than venting my anger; it would be more practical to exchange him for a rare mineral deposit.
What she's more concerned about now is what benefits the Demon Alliance will gain from the Mingshan mineral vein.
Thinking of this, Bingyao couldn't help but show worry on her face. She said, "That's true, but is it really worth using such precious mineral resources just to exchange for Zhongda, someone who has sold out all the information? This seems like an extremely unfair deal. Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?"
Bingyao has always been calm and wise! She also has a sharp eye for the essence of problems.
Upon hearing her words, everyone in the hall fell silent.
Indeed, on the surface, this is an extremely unequal and dangerous deal.
The demon alliance's growth and expansion in the Southern Ridge after acquiring the Mingshan mineral vein will only be a boon, which is obviously detrimental to the Li clan.
But some things simply cannot be valued in monetary terms, and that is emotion.
Zhongming only had one younger brother, and even though his actions would push his opponent to a higher position, he had no choice but to do it.
With a slight lift of his long eyelashes, Si Hanye glanced at the group with his deep, dark eyes and said calmly, "Mo Yu, make arrangements for me to meet with Zhong Ming."
As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and left the council chamber.
"Yes!"
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and immediately agreed. Even though he was unwilling at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and forcefully suppress the surging hatred in his chest.
In his view, the terms of the deal offered by Zhongming were indeed very tempting, and for the sake of the development of the Demon Alliance, even the master would definitely agree.
With this mine, the Thousand Machine Pavilion of the Demon Alliance will have a stable and substantial supply for the production of various high-level magical artifacts and for further in-depth research.
This is of paramount importance to the development of the Demon Alliance!
Mo Yu lowered his head, sighed deeply, and clenched his fists tightly beneath his black robe! He had ultimately acted too impulsively.
Just as Bingyao was about to leave, she suddenly sensed the grief and indignation in the man's emotions and immediately stopped in her tracks.
She gently patted Mo Yu's shoulder with her jade-like hand to comfort him!
This was the first time I had spoken to him in such a gentle tone. "Don't think too much about it, it's all in the past."
The man, who had been grieving, suddenly broke into a big laugh.
He held the other person's hand tightly in his large hand, "With Bingbing here, I won't be sad anymore."
Bingyao: "..."
In the bathroom, Si Hanye adjusted the water temperature to a comfortable level. The warm water flowed over his body, and the soft, cuddly little bunny obediently opened its four paws.
She exposed her soft, furry belly.
Si Hanye's eyes were filled with a smile as he gently and patiently cleaned the area.
The little rabbit pouted its pink, moist little nose.
humming contentedly~
He then took a towel and wrapped it completely around the little rabbit, carefully wiping away the water droplets from its body.
After its bath, the little rabbit's pinkish-white fur became even fluffier and softer, like a sweet and soft ball.
The man placed the little rabbit on the pillow and gently tapped its head with his long, pale fingers.
"Be a good boy and wait here, okay?" His clear, deep voice was filled with affection that almost overflowed.
The little bunny nestled on the pillow, its fluffy long ears wiggling, blinked its big, pink eyes. Its adorable expression seemed to say, "I'll be good~"
As soon as Si Hanye finished washing up and lay down on the bed, the soft, pink and white little rabbit immediately wriggled its round bottom and moved from the pillow to the man's neck.
She playfully rubbed her pink nose against the man's neck.
Finally, she found a comfortable position, inhaled the comforting scent, and fell into a deep sleep.
Si Hanye smiled faintly, his fair hand gently touching the soft downy fur.
Over the past month, the little rabbit's dependence on him has clearly increased day by day, to the point that it is almost inseparable from him.
Even when I need to sleep, I have to be close to him and smell his scent to fall asleep peacefully.
The smile in his eyes deepened...
It feels so good to be relied upon by her~
Mo Yu was very efficient, and Zhong Ming was also eager to save his brother.
The next morning, he rushed to the Demon Alliance!
