Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15583

Chapter 15581: Suspicion
The meeting between Liu Qimo and Sima Lingyun was very formal. Sima Lingyun specially met with Liu Qimo in the large conference room of Sima’s house. When Liu Qimo came to the conference room under the guidance of Sima Zhong, Sima Lingyun was already waiting for him in front of the door of the conference room. When Liu Qimo saw Sima Lingyun waiting for him, he really felt flattered. You know, his status is quite different from Sima Lingyun’s. Now Sima Lingyun actually took the initiative to wait for him in front of the door, which was already giving him face.
Liu Qimo immediately saluted Sima Lingyun and said, “Greetings to Patriarch Sima. I am really flattered that Patriarch Sima is here to welcome me. I really don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it.” Although Liu Qimo was a member of Yidao Sect, he knew very well that he should not show off his status as a member of Yidao Sect in public. Otherwise, he would only offend people for Yidao Sect. Although the Sima family was no match for Yidao Sect, if he really offended the Sima family, he would not have a good life in the future. The bigger the sect like Yidao Sect, the less likely they would offend people easily. There was no need for that. After all, Yidao Sect was not the only one in the Meteorite Domain. It was better not to be too domineering when doing things. That’s why Liu Qimo spoke to Sima Lingyun in this way and kept a low profile.
Sima Lingyun immediately returned the greeting with a smile, “Elder Liu, you’re too polite. You’ve come this time regarding the coalition forces. This is for the benefit of the entire Meteoric Star Region, as well as revenge for our Sima family. We are deeply grateful.”
Sima Zhong could tell Liu Qimo that the Sima family’s loss of the Wood Spirit Realm had helped the entire Meteoric Star Region test the ambitions of the Seven Universe Realm, but Sima Lingyun couldn’t say that. He had to say that it was the Yidao Sect that avenged their family. This effectively expressed their support for the Yidao Sect, and there was nothing wrong with him saying that. Liu Qimo already knew the Sima family’s true intentions, so he naturally wouldn’t take Sima Lingyun’s words seriously. Sometimes, the words of a clan leader like Sima Lingyun were just polite words, meant to be listened to, not taken seriously.
Some might think that Sima Lingyun, a clan member, shouldn’t his words be his due? How could he go back on his word? This was actually quite normal. Sima Lingyun was the patriarch, not the emperor. Sometimes, his words were merely polite, meant to save face, not necessarily to count.
Liu Qimo understood this, so after hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, he didn’t take them seriously. He didn’t truly believe the Sima family would be grateful, so he smiled and said, “Master Sima, you’re too polite. We have to thank you for this. If they hadn’t discovered the Seven Universe Realm’s conspiracy, we wouldn’t have known how powerful the Seven Universe Realm had become. They have a grudge against all of us, and their growing power isn’t a good thing for us. That’s why we formed this coalition. Master Sima, there’s no need for you to be so polite.” Liu Qimo’s words were merely polite. In situations like this, words are sometimes just nonsense.
Sima Lingyun burst into laughter upon hearing Liu Qimo’s words, then said, “Elder Liu, you’re truly polite. Please come in, let’s talk.” Liu Qimo responded and followed Sima Lingyun and the others into the room.
The room was a traditional conference room, with a chair and a table in the center. Behind the chair, on the wall, was a painting of a tiger descending a mountain. Its eyes gleamed fiercely, revealing it to be a ferocious beast.
There were ten chairs on each side, and a small table between the two chairs. The group entered one of the rooms and sat down as host and guest. Immediately, a maid from the Sima family brought them tea and then quietly withdrew. Sima Lingyun did not drink the tea, but looked at Liu Qimo and said, “I have heard from Hall Master Zhong about the purpose of Elder Liu’s visit. We fully support the Yida Sect’s plan to form an alliance, but I don’t know if the Yida Sect has any specific regulations?”
Liu Qimo had already told Sima Zhong the purpose of his visit to the Sima family. At this time, Sima Lingyun naturally could not play dumb anymore, so he asked a core question directly. When Liu Qimo heard Sima Lingyun ask this, he immediately said, “We are ordered to come here this time to discuss this matter with the head of the Sima family. I wonder if the head of the Sima family has any opinions. If so, please just say it. We still respect the head of the Sima family’s opinions very much.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Sima Lingyun.
His words were nice, suggesting he was asking for Sima Lingyun’s opinion. However, his implication was that they already had a plan, and now they just needed to see what the Sima family thought. If you had any ideas, you could voice them. Whether they would be adopted or not was up to them. Of course, he couldn’t say this directly to Sima Lingyun, so Liu Qimo changed his rhetoric.
Sima Lingyun understood what Liu Qimo meant, and immediately smiled and said, “We have no objections. Everything depends on the Yidao Sect. This time, we’ll just send our men. We must kill as many people from the Seven Universes as possible to avenge our Sima family.” By the end, his smile faded, and a scowl appeared on his face.
Upon hearing Sima Lingyun say this, Liu Qimo was stunned. He looked at Sima Lingyun, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but he hid it well. He was very curious about why Sima Lingyun was so easy to talk to. This was not like the Sima family’s style.
However, Liu Qimo was also a shrewd person, so of course he would not show anything too much. Instead, he smiled and said, “Master Sima, you are too polite. The Sima family has always been the most important component of the Meteorite Domain. This time, the matter of the Seven Universe Realm was discovered by the Sima family first. Therefore, the opinions of the Sima family are still very important in this coalition. Our clan leader also values the opinions of the Sima family. If the master Sima has any opinions, just raise them and we will definitely report them to the clan leader.”
Sima Lingyun shook his head and said, “We really don’t have any opinions. In fact, our Sima family also has losses in the Wood Spirit Realm. “We lost some people, although not many, but it’s a loss after all, and we only want to seek revenge on the people of the Seven Universe Realm. Even if we don’t form an alliance, we will definitely attack the Seven Universe Realm. Now that Yidao Sect is proposing to form an alliance, this is a good thing for our Sima family, and we certainly don’t have any objections, please rest assured.” Sima Lingyun said this with a very serious expression, as if he really only wanted revenge. In fact, all this was his acting. The people he planned to send this time were just some ordinary cultivators of the Sima family. He didn’t plan to send out the Sima family’s elite.
But they have to show their attitude. They have to show an attitude of fully supporting Yidao Sect. This is actually taking sides. They have to stand next to Yidao Sect this time, so that their relationship with Yidao Sect will be further improved in the future. This is what Sima Lingyun wants. In the Meteorite Domain, if the Sima family wants to go further, it will be very difficult without the support of Yidao Sect. Other sects and families will not watch them grow stronger. Once they find that the Sima family has become stronger, suppression may follow. That’s why Sima Lingyun wants to have a closer relationship with Yidao Sect. He doesn’t need Yidao Sect to stand up to help them. As long as Yidao Sect does not join others in suppressing them, the pressure on the Sima family will be less.
When Liu Qimo heard Sima Lingyun say this, he couldn’t help but look at Sima Lingyun deeply. Although he didn’t know what Sima Lingyun was up to, Sima Lingyun was now clearly supporting their Yidao Sect, which was a good thing for them, so Liu Qimo didn’t say anything more. He nodded at Sima Lingyun and said, “Okay, I understand the attitude of the Sima family master. After I go back, I will definitely report this matter to the sect master. Please rest assured, Sima family master.”
Sima Lingyun nodded and said, “That’s the best. I will host a banquet to entertain you all tonight. I hope you will come.”
Liu Qimo immediately said, “Of course, if the Sima family master wants to entertain us, there is no reason for us not to attend. Please rest assured, Sima family master, we will definitely be there then.” Sima Lingyun nodded, then he stood up, Liu Qimo also stood up, and then said goodbye to Sima Lingyun. Sima Lingyun sent them out of the room and then returned to his study.
Meanwhile, Liu Qimo and his companions had returned to their courtyard. Once there, he summoned Jing Zifeng and Zhou Changge to his study. After they sat down, Liu Qimo frowned and asked, “I didn’t expect this negotiation to go so smoothly. The Sima family didn’t make any demands and expressed their full support. What are your thoughts on this?” Liu Qimo then looked at Jing Zifeng and Zhou Changge. He was still unsure of the Sima family’s intentions. Such cooperation was beyond Liu Qimo’s expectations, and he was actually a little skeptical. Jing Zifeng and
Zhou Changge exchanged a glance. As rookies in the Foreign Affairs Hall, they had no real opinions on this matter. They didn’t even understand what Liu Qimo was suspecting. To them, the Sima family’s support was a good thing, wasn’t it? What was there to doubt? So, upon hearing Liu Qimo’s question, both were puzzled.
Liu Qimo knew from the two men’s expressions that they had no suspicions. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly, then he said, “This time, the Seven Universe Realm’s action has not caused any losses to us or other forces, but the Sima family is different. They actually lost people in the battle, and they also lost the Wood Spirit Realm. It can be said that they lost territory and lost people. How can they feel balanced? They will definitely want to seek revenge on the Seven Universe Realm. I believe the Sima family is not lying about this. But the more people want revenge, the more they want to seize the initiative. If we are the commander-in-chief of the coalition this time, and we suppress them and don’t let them fight, how do you think they will react? So I originally thought that they would fight for command, but I didn’t expect them to support us with all their strength. This is really strange.”
