Chapter 5346: Wrangling negotiations

Translator: 549690339

Yes, and theres another point. Lin Yi may not want to talk to me directly, but that doesnt mean hell force you to talk to him personally. After all, were not the only ones who need to make a compromise, he needs to do the same from his perspective. Lu Pingan a.n.a.lyzed.

And then? Chen Jiu gestured for him to continue.

I think that Lin Yi has his own requests, and hell want to talk to us as well, but he doesnt want to talk to us like this. First, he thinks hes too pa.s.sive, and second, he thinks its beneath him. Maybe hes looking for a mouthpiece to negotiate with us. Lu Pingan said.

Who is it? Chen Jiu asked.

Xin Yijie, Out of all the Golden core stage higher-ups in the green cloud sect, only this one could talk to Lin Yi and win his trust.

Alright, go find him then. A fierce light flashed through Chen Jius eyes. After this incident, he didnt even need to think to know that Xin Yijie would be a dead man.

When Lu Pingan came to find him, Xin Yijie was still thinking of ways to win over the other golden core stage upper echelons. He knew that this was a critical period where the Peoples hearts were leaning against each other. One more supporter meant one more point of power and one more chance of victory.

When he suddenly saw Lu Pingan, Chen Jius personal disciple, Xin Yijies blood turned cold. His first reaction was that the matter had been exposed, and the Grand Elder was ready to take him down!

When he understood what the Grand Elder meant, he couldnt help but be stunned. From Lu Pingans words, Grand Elder was prepared to negotiate with Lin Yi on equal footing, and Lu Pingan and him were each others negotiation representatives?

Of course, Xin Yijie didnt dare to agree to something like this. After understanding Lu Pingans intentions, he quickly ran to the ascending cliff to ask Lin Yi.

Since they want to talk, lets talk. We wont lose anything anyway. Lin Yi replied.

Then How? Xin Yijie said weakly.

You dont know how to wrangle? Lin Yi looked at him.

Wrangling? Xin Yijies eyes were a little dazed.Martial granduncle, we should have a goal in our negotiations, right? could wrangling be our goal?

Yes, wrangling is our goal. He can talk to you however he wants. Theres only one thing you have to do. Dont object or agree. In short, its wrangling. When youve wrangled yourself unconscious, youll have succeeded. Lin Yi said.

W-why? Xin Yijie didnt quite understand what Lin Yi was getting at-what was the point of all this?

There are two reasons. First, the half-dead person now is Chen Dongcheng and not our people, so they should be the ones who should be anxious. We have no reason to be anxious at all. In negotiations, whoever is anxious will always be at a disadvantage. Just you wait and see. Once the argument drags on for too long, they will definitely lose their cool. That will be our chance. Lin Yi said.

Yes, yes. Xin Yijie nodded and asked,Whats the second?

The second one is you. Lin Yi said.

Me? Xin Yijie asked, confused.

Let me ask you, what have you achieved by winning over the hearts of the people? Lin Yi asked.

Uh Very little Xin Yijie blushed with shame. It wasnt that he didnt work hard, but his strength and status were too ordinary. Usually, he was the type of person who no one paid attention to among the Golden core stage senior executives. At this juncture, he didnt have any appeal at all. Even if they were dissatisfied with the Chen family faction, after hearing his proposal, they would only laugh and say that they were overestimating their ability. Few would really take it seriously.

It was actually a little better now-the shock from Lin Yis display of power had caused the other golden core stage executives to stop scoffing at Xin Yijie like before. After all, in their eyes, even if Lin Yi couldnt compare to a nascent soul old monster like the Grand Elder, he was still an existence that they couldnt go up against. However, it wasnt realistic to say that they could rope him in so easily.

Therefore, this negotiation is an opportunity to increase our influence. Lin Yi said.

Hearing this, Xin Yijie finally came to a realization. He smacked his head and said,I understand. Martial granduncles meaning is that this negotiation not only has to be delayed, but it also has to be delayed until everyone knows about it. This way, the whole sect will form a concept that you and the Grand Elder are equal in status, and I, as your negotiator, can also use this to improve my status and influence!

Thats right, but theres another meaning. Everyone knows that the green cloud School on the northern island is divided into the local faction and the Chen family faction. Now, the Grand Elder of both sides of the negotiation is the representative of the Chen family faction. So, who do you think is the representative of the main body faction? Lin Yis lips curved.

Of course, its you, grand uncle-master! Xin Yijies eyes lit up.

The main reason why he couldnt get the Golden core higher-ups and disciples from the other local sects to join him was because they didnt believe that he could carry the weight of the local sect. Now that Lin Yi stood out and called for a battle, not only did he easily cripple Chen Dongcheng, he even forced the Grand Elder to sit down and negotiate patiently. This was something even the sect leader Hong Zijun couldnt do!

This way, once the concept of competing as equals was deeply rooted in peoples hearts, it would be impossible for Lin Yi not to be the leader of the local sects. Because all the Golden core higher-ups and disciples of the local sects would gather here on their own, and once they formed a force, it would be unstoppable!

Thats why youre still not going to wrangle with him? Lin Yi said with a shrug.

Understood! Xin Yijie immediately left, full of confidence.

What happened next was exactly as Lin Yi had expected. Xin Yijie might look honest and kind, but he was actually very smart. He was able to argue with Lu Pingan like a flower falling from the sky, and he wasnt at a disadvantage at all.

Lu Pingan was about to go crazy. He thought that he would be more relaxed if he didnt have to face Lin Yi directly, but he didnt expect this guy to come. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary pot of warm water, but after being in contact with him for a long time, he realized that this guy would never boil. He was no less difficult to deal with than Lin Yi.

In the end, it could be summed up in two words: no way.

However, he couldnt do anything about it. After all, in this negotiation, they were the pa.s.sive and weak party. Moreover, the other party was not uncooperative. In fact, it should be said that they were very cooperative. They were just wasting time. The other party was determined to fight a protracted war. What could he do?

If it wasnt for Chen Dongcheng, Chen Jiu wouldve fallen out with him long ago. But now, he could only grit his teeth and hold back his anger, instigating Lu Pingan to continue to grind Xin Yijie down.

But as time went on, Lin Yis image and status in the North Islands Green cloud sect changed!
