Chapter 1385: Spoils of War
There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the proceedings of the meeting. They reviewed the past, summarized the present, and looked ahead to the future. Each participant spoke in turn, and in the end, the meeting concluded with a declaration of victory.Qi Xuansu did not speak. He merely attended and listened throughout because of his sensitive status. He represented the Daoist Order, so any action of his could be interpreted in various ways.
After the meeting ended, Qi Xuansu met separately with Huangfu Zhao, Gong Fu, and Tantai Zhenxiao. They discussed many matters, mainly the relationship between the Daoist Order and the Western Daoist Order, the future development of the Western Daoist Order, and the current state of the Daoist Order.
They spoke candidly and engaged in in-depth exchanges.
Regarding matters of interest and benefits, Qi Xuansu made no promises nor gave firm answers. He merely stated that he would report everything upon his return.
This was not the duty of the Chief Deputy Beichen Hall Master but rather the task of an envoy.
Qi Xuansu had gone to the New Continent with two roles. What Gong Fu and Tantai Zhenxiao cared about was not his role in Beichen Hall, but his identity as an envoy of the Daoist Order.
At this point, they were merely a stage of testing the waters.
This was also why Qi Xuansu’s true body had come in person. After all, he was meeting the three bigwigs of the Western Daoist Order. Sending only his Liberation Incarnation to this meeting would have seemed arrogant and disrespectful.
By the time Qi Xuansu took his leave from Tantai Zhenxiao, the sky was already filled with stars, yet Huangfu Ji was still waiting for him.
Qi Xuansu joked, “Brother Huangfu, are you also planning a long talk with me?”
Huangfu Ji waved his hand. “Those matters are for the old men to worry about. There’s no need for me to get involved. I was busy during the day, so I couldn’t catch you earlier. I mainly want to discuss the spoils of war.”
