"But many things aren't as simple as you children imagine."

"Back then, when your human armies attacked the Forgotten River Sea, how many people died? How many resources were lost? Don't you have any idea?" Prophet Tu walked out of the crowd, clutching his staff, and scoffed. "These are all things of the past. We won't pursue them, nor do we seek justice. Instead, we're wholeheartedly seeking an alliance with you. Shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

"Prophet, isn't our sincerity sufficient?" Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable fanned himself with a small fan, smiling as he glanced at Prophet Tu. "We've traveled all the way from Shenzhou to the Forgotten River and accepted the alliance. What more do you want?"

Long Qian looked earnestly at Qiao Mu and said, word for word, "I demand to speak with you face-to-face."

"There's nothing to discuss between us." Qiao Mu turned, took Mo Lian's hand, and started to walk out.

But Long Qian coldly ordered, "Stop them."

Immediately, countless Merman guards surged in from outside the doors, surrounding the two of them.

Mo Lian looked back at Long Qian, who had an icy expression, with a faint, unsmiling smirk. "Clan Leader Long, I advise you to think twice."

Long Qian glared at Mo Lian with a cold face, then turned her head to look at Qiao Mu.

The young girl's naturally cold face showed no emotional fluctuations. Her dark, deep-set eyes simply stared at her, direct and chilling.

An inexplicable sense of dread crept over Long Qian.

Long Qian took a deep breath, closed her eyes briefly, and slightly raised her hand. "Only a quarter of an hour is needed. You can leave once we're done talking."

"Nothing to say that can't be said in front of others," Qiao Mu said, her eyes full of indifference. "Whatever you want to say, say it here."

"Are you truly sure?!" Long Qian couldn't help but feel enraged by the young girl's unyielding attitude, raising her voice slightly in a furious shout.

Qiao Mu nodded slightly. "Speak."

"Since that's the case, then please..."

"Aunt Bai!"

"Aunt Bai!"

Long Hui and Long Xiangyun couldn't help but interrupt Bai Ningshuang. Their faces were solemn, and their eyes held a hint of nervousness as they looked at the displeased Clan Leader Long Qian.

"Grandmother, calm your anger."

"Grandmother, why are you getting angry with the stoic face? She's born that way; she's stoic with everyone. Haven't you seen her with her own husband, she still has a stoic face? It's not directed at you." Long Xiangyun quickly interjected.

Long Qian's furious gaze gradually softened as she stared at Qiao Mu. "This matter is of great importance, and I can only discuss it with you privately. Half a quarter of an hour is enough!"

Qiao Mu stared coldly at her for a long moment, then, holding her husband's hand, turned and walked out. "Long Hui, how do we get to Li Sha Island?"

Long Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly. At a time like this, she really didn't want to be called upon by the little Crown Princess.

"You refuse a toast and will drink a forfeit!" Bai Ningshuang's face was flushed with unvented rage.

Thinking of her poor son Long Ji's miserable state, she wished she could dismember this woman before her, skin her alive, and tear out her tendons and bones.

Her precious son was almost paralyzed by a little wretch!

How could she let go of such a vicious woman today?

"Oh, what a lively scene." A faint chuckle came from the doorway.

The newcomer, clad in white, was tall and slender like jade, his long hair loosely draped to his waist.

As he walked in, chatting and laughing, it seemed as if a faint light enveloped him.

"Imperial Advisor?" Mo Lian and Qiao Mu both murmured.
