Chapter 746: Empty Silver Pine!
Fang Mu didn't understand Xiao Yi, but since Xiao Yi could hold a high position in the Emperor Beast Court, as the Vice Chairman of the Emperor Beast Court Master's council, the responsibilities he shouldered far outweighed the benefits his identity brought to himself and his tribe.
Fang Mu, having joined the Contract Garden as a Saint Creator, deeply understood this point.
As the strongest figure within a power, the burdens one must bear are immense.
Take for example the impact brought by the previous tidal wave of dimensional creatures, this wave forced the three Saint Creators of the Contract Garden to come forward to clear the Extraterrestrial Embryos.
Both Han Ming and the Eternal Mother Yongle bore great pressure and had to make compromises in many matters.
Now, Xiao Yi, who followed the contract to the Han Yang Empire, was the same.
If Xiao Yi were to really clash with him after waiting for three days and get taken care of by him.
It is likely that the Emperor Beast Court would not cause trouble because of Xiao Yi's death but would instead send someone with more status to communicate with him.
If he could handle Xiao Yi, it would also be akin to proving his own strength.
Knowing this, Fang Mu felt no pressure at all, whereas on this point, Lian Dai's thoughts were different from Fang Mu's.
Thus, Lian Dai appeared to be much more tense than Fang Mu.
Fang Mu took Lian Dai out of this Dimensional World using the ability of Fool's Shadow, and upon returning to the Beastmaster world, he released Lian Dai from the Mechanism Fortress.
Lian Dai had already sensed the presence of Xiao Yi and Qi Yue.
Though Xiao Yi had waited for three days, he was still somewhat observant of protocol and did not forcibly enter the fortress.
"Little Wood, once we leave this fortress, we will be able to meet people from the Emperor Beast Court immediately. If you have decided how to negotiate with them, we can leave now."
In Lian Dai's heart, Fang Mu was still that junior working for the Saint Creators.
It could be considered that Qixing valued Fang Mu by assigning such tasks to him, yet at the same time, Fang Mu had to endure the pressure that someone his age shouldn't have to bear.
Fang Mu felt Lian Dai's concern but said nothing, just smiled.
Fang Mu originally created the identity of Qixing because many matters couldn't be explained with his age and status.
If handled poorly, Fang Mu and even his family would suffer calamity.
Fang Mu carefully built up the Qixing identity thoroughly; the only issue now is that Qixing cannot appear in front of people.
Fortunately, the Crescent Moon Pendant acquired in the ruins allowed Qixing to appear at the Contract Garden meeting.
This completely dispelled any doubts about Qixing among the human forces.
Now, Fang Mu, with his own controlled strength, could actually start de-emphasizing the identity of Saint Creator Qixing and reveal his prowess with his true identity.
But after considering repeatedly, Fang Mu felt there was no need for this.
Because the identity of Qixing aligns more closely with the Beasts' understanding of strength in the Beastmaster world.
Simply the title of Saint Creator is enough to make many strong beings submit.
"Aunt Dai, let's go out. You don't need to avoid the negotiation between me and the Emperor Beast Court later."
"The Sea Clan has a wealth of insights on the issue of environmental governance caused by dimensional creatures' pollution. I hope you can communicate more with the people from the Emperor Beast Court accordingly."
Lian Dai once again understood Fang Mu's intention.
"Little Wood, I thought about developing this Dimensional World before; indeed, it would be most effective if all the major forces were involved."
"If the Emperor Beast Court does not reject communication with my Sea Clan, there's no need for my Sea Clan to keep them at bay."
"However, if the Emperor Beast Court wants to gain some experiences from my Sea Clan, they must give some indication."
Fang Mu understood Lian Dai's thoughts; there was no so-called common interest between the Sea Clan and Emperor Beast Court, it was entirely on his behalf that they were willing to contact and cooperate with the Emperor Beast Court.
In such situations, in necessary times, the Emperor Beast Court definitely needs to show its stance.
"Aunt Dai, the Emperor Beast Court will certainly show what they must, you don't need to worry about this."
"In my exchanges with the Emperor Beast Court in the Han Yang Empire, I will not harm Han Yang Empire's interests, but if you intend to leverage the Emperor Beast Court, it's best to do so within limits to avoid negatively impacting the cooperation and communication between both sides."
With that said, Fang Mu did not seek any assurance from Lian Dai and directly set off towards the outside of the fortress.
After delaying the Emperor Beast Court for so long, Fang Mu felt quite apologetic.
But due to his Destiny Guardian Beast's quality enhancement, Fang Mu inevitably could not ignore the enhancement situation of his Destiny Guardian Beast.
The quality enhancement of Blood of Abundance was aggressive; even if Fang Mu wanted to suppress it, he might not be able to.
Upon knowing the meeting place was set in the Han Yang Empire, Qi Yue secretly knew something wasn't right and vaguely guessed Fang Mu's purpose.
If Qixing intended to facilitate cooperation among the three parties now, the Emperor Beast Court would be indisputably in the lowest position among the three sides.
Xiao Yi advocated for cooperation with humans but did not advocate for cooperation with the Sea Clan; he was not friendly towards the Sea Clan.
These few days, staying beside Xiao Yi and not being able to meet Fang Mu, Qi Yue felt Xiao Yi was like a volcano ready to erupt at any time.
Qi Yue was already considering which side to stand on if a conflict occurred.
Actually, ever since deciding to fully side with Fang Mu, there was no longer any choice.
