Chapter 890: Chapter 562: Old Fusang and New Fusang, Shadows in the Darkness
The others also took their seats in front of this massive main hall structure.
Arasaka Masamune changed his posture, kneeling down again, with a kindly smile as his gaze swept over everyone’s faces, eventually settling on Lin Guang’s face.
The brilliance in their eyes twinkled momentarily as their gazes met.
The next moment.
Arasaka Masamune’s face, still showing traces of his youthful handsomeness, first paused slightly, then revealed a sincere bitter smile, sighing softly:
"How could there be a genius like Lord Lin Guang in this world?"
He looked towards Finn Xi and Su Yue: "You two are also amazing."
"The Great Xia is truly an awe-inspiring nation... Yang Kui, you indeed have made many remarkable friends."
Seeing the joyful and proud expression on Remyu’s pretty face, with the light wings behind her slightly shimmering, he couldn’t help but smile and sigh softly: "Indeed, one can’t resist old age."
Arasaka Masamune paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Your demands and intentions, I have heard from Koichi... But he should have also told you."
His expression turned slightly serious: "Cooperation can certainly be established, such a win-win situation has no reason to refuse, I guarantee this."
"But regarding national affairs, if the details are uncertain, ultimately, it remains just empty words, and formal negotiation is necessary in the end."
"I, this old man, have been away from the current situation for too long; it should be discussed by those young people who have practical grasp of the situation."
"Once they have time, they will surely contact you all as soon as possible."
"Before that, I ask all distinguished guests to wait for a period."
This matter and its conclusion weren’t unexpected.
It’s just that when everyone exchanged glances, their eyes seemed somewhat inexplicable.
— Is this attitude a bit too humble?
In fact, even when facing entities that are truly powerful to the extreme and imposing, they can remain calm and never lose composure.
Longteng University can almost be regarded as one of the supreme holy lands of the Great Xia, surpassing ordinary giant forces, with very few within the Nine Provinces being on the same level, and virtually none above.
The three leading this time are all from Longteng University, constantly associating with the top-notch divine beings of this world, meeting daily.
Not to mention those who can condense True Intent, undoubtedly legends in their respective domains.
Su Yue’s life can be described as an epic forged in blood and fire, with almost ten Demon Kings already fallen under the double fists of the two dragon king demons he commands.
Finn Xi, guided and protected under the watchful gaze of the System and Li Jiatu, has a level of Perception even the four True Monarchs marvel at.
And Lin Guang...
He independently tamed the Otherworldly Calamity, independently condensed True Intent, advancing many important technologies of the Great Xia.
The layers of radiant glory piled up on him have long put him beyond most of his peers’ imagination, not seen as the so-called "prodigy," but in essence one of the pillars of the Great Xia.
This lineup is so luxurious that even when facing higher tier powerhouses, they couldn’t possibly be oppressed.
They had naturally envisioned the scene when facing Arasaka Masamune, especially after the numerous doubts from yesterday were raised, making them suspicious.
But most of those were serious, confrontational scenarios, even leading to potential conflict if disagreeing.
Yet at this moment...
Arasaka Masamune now seems, rather than a powerful Sect Leader, more like a disheartened old man who has found a place for secluded cultivation.
Though they came at Remyu, Her Imperial Highness the Princess’s invitation, it somewhat felt like bullying the weak.
Making it a bit awkward to speak.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly broke the deadlock.
It was Vishdair.
"Old man."
The silver-haired girl, arms crossed and legs crossed, spoke: "I heard, you and that General called Heikawa flip this country upside down, created a new Fusang, why are you living in such a broken place now, without even anyone to serve you?"
"Also, what’s with this Beastman thing, what about discrimination or migration? What’s going on exactly?"
Her words sounded completely impolite, straightforward, leaving everyone a bit choked.
"Ha ha."
Arasaka Masamune waved indifferently: "This is the retirement place I chose myself as an old man."
"Moreover... this is not a broken place."
A glimmer of reminiscence flickered in his eyes: "Though now it looks worn out, it was once the most important holy place of old Fusang."
Su Yue’s tall body sat on a stone stool, resembling an extra deity in the shrine, softly spoke: "Holy place?"
"Yes, it’s a history already sealed away... there aren’t many who remember, only a few old things recall."
His demeanor seemed somewhat nostalgic.
"Since everyone seems somewhat puzzled... then it’s just right."
Arasaka Masamune looked at Remyu, gazing into her golden eyes for a full ten seconds, seemingly confirming something, then softly spoke, calling her by her Fusang name.
"Yang Kui."
The red-haired girl slightly straightened up.
"You have also reached the age to know these things."
The old man sighed softly: "Are you interested in hearing this old man tell some lengthy stories?"
Lin Guang looked into his deep eyes: "Please elaborate."
"Where should I begin?"
"Simply put, the murals you saw on the way, and these... are actually the true history of old Fusang."
