Chapter 1389: Chapter 1389: The Agreement Between Both Sides
"Huo Family Patriarch, what do you think?"
Ouyang Shao made clear the Ouyang Family’s stance, which is not to interfere in this matter. The Huo Family and several other top-level families need not worry about them suddenly stepping in!
"Good!"
The Huo Family Patriarch agreed immediately.
If possible, he certainly didn’t want to share the map with the Hu Family people!
The latter had long since developed enmity with their Huo Family!
Back then, he insisted that Hu Yan Niang had an affair, nearly driving her to death, and he knew that there was no chance of reconciling the relationship between the two families!
Now, having to humble himself to the Hu Family people to gain the right to share that map, he was very unwilling.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached out to the other top-level families.
Now, the Ouyang Family’s declaration gave him peace of mind!
Since the Ouyang Family is not stepping in, combining their forces with a few other families is enough to pressure the Hu Family to hand over the Holy King Tomb Map!
Even if someone like Yu Sihuang, the Southern Domain King, is backing them!
After all, this is the Extreme West Wilderness, not their territory!
The Hu Family is truly both thriving because of Ye Jiu and also failing because of Ye Jiu this time!
Unexpectedly, the other party has a grudge with the Alchemist who saved Ouyang Shao, which inexplicably benefited him and his group.
Thinking about this, the Huo Family Patriarch laughed immediately.
Then he seemed to remember something and hurriedly called in a guard from outside, saying, "Quick! Call back the people who went to negotiate with the Hu Family and say it’s no longer necessary!"
"The Hu Family can’t keep that Holy King Tomb Map!"
"Additionally, invite the Clan Leaders of the other top-level families over, telling them I have important matters to discuss!"
"Yes!"
The Huo Family guard received the order and left.
......
In the Hu Family, Luo Qingtong came to the main hall of the main courtyard together with the Hu Family guard who delivered the news.
Hu Yan Niang and others were already waiting there.
"Young Master."
Hu Yan Niang, Hu Zhongtian, and others looked at Luo Qingtong and rose to salute her.
"Mm."
Luo Qingtong responded softly, nodding her head, then looked at a group of people sitting at the lower right seat in the hall.
That group was sent by the Huo Family for negotiation.
They initially wanted to contact Luo Qingtong privately.
However, Luo Qingtong almost never went out from the Hu Family, so they had no way to bypass the Hu Family people to reach Luo Qingtong, and thus had to request a meeting.
"Ninth Young Master."
The leader of the Huo Family delegation this time was an elder who did not participate in the incident with Huo Ting and others at the Bai Family.
Seeing Luo Qingtong arrive, he immediately rose and saluted her.
Behind him, there were some Huo Family disciples.
However, these people no longer had the arrogant and reckless attitude when seeing the Hu Family people as before. Each of them displayed a very humble demeanor.
"Ninth Young Master."
They consecutively saluted Luo Qingtong.
Luo Qingtong narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at them, and said, "What did the Huo Family come for this time?"
"Is it for the Holy King Tomb Map? I believe I made my stance very clear the last time at the Bai Family?"
Luo Qingtong’s voice was soft, but her refusal was unquestionable.
The way the Huo Family treated Hu Yan Niang back then, and their attempt to forcibly seize the Holy King Tomb Map at the Bai Family, no matter what conditions they offered, Luo Qingtong would not agree!
The expression of that Huo Family elder was quite difficult.
In Barbaric City, the Huo Family was also quite influential, always rejecting others rather than being rejected!
Let alone being rejected by the Hu Family, whom they always looked down upon!
