Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15871

15869. Chapter 15869 Fairness

After Zheng Heng and Yuan Ming finished speaking with the representatives of those sects, they went to Zheng Heng’s office together. The two of them had been in contact more often now, so they no longer needed to treat each other with such a formal, businesslike attitude.

The two arrived at Zheng Heng’s office. After taking their seats, Yuanming asked Zheng Heng, “Master Zheng, do you think they will agree?”

Zheng Heng smiled slightly and replied, “Master Yuanming, don’t worry. I think they will definitely agree. After all, you personally told them about this, so they have no reason to disagree. Besides, I know these people quite well. If you keep having them participate in this operation, they might still be thinking about whether there are any traps or something. But now, although we say we want them to participate, we’re giving them the attitude that they can participate if they want, or not if they don’t. This will actually make them want to participate, since the benefits of this operation are too great.”

Yuanming nodded in agreement, “That’s good. Then I’m no longer worried. I just hope they can… ” “Those who participated in this operation should ideally have a result as soon as possible. After all, if we drag this out too long, and the people from the Hell Gate have already dealt with everyone in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace Domain, then our losses will be even greater if we try to deal with them later.”

Zheng Heng nodded after hearing Yuan Ming’s words, saying, “That’s true. However, these things really can’t be rushed. We must wait for the decisions of those sects, and it’s obvious that those sects can’t make a decision in a short time.”

Yuan Ming said in a deep voice, “Yes, we can’t rush it. Then, Hall Master Zheng, I’ll head back first.”

Zheng Heng nodded, and then he personally saw Yuan Ming out of his office. Yuan Ming went straight back to his courtyard. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he immediately wrote a letter to the Prajna Temple, mainly telling them about today’s conference and also inquiring about the progress of the other sects.

Yuanming was very pleased with the reply from Prajna Temple. People from other regions were now interested in cooperating and were in talks. Prajna Temple also mentioned that those regions agreed thanks to him; they only agreed after hearing that the Fire God Sect had agreed. If the Fire God Sect hadn’t agreed, they might have dragged their feet. Seeing this,

Yuanming’s heart stirred. If those regions agreed to cooperate because the Fire God Sect agreed, could he, in turn, use the people from other regions to get the Fire God Sect to agree? If that were the case, it would be a truly good thing.

Thinking of this, Yuanming immediately stood up and went straight to Zheng Heng’s office. Zheng Heng was curious when he heard that Yuanming had returned, wondering why he had come back, but he immediately invited Yuanming into his office.

As soon as Yuanming entered his office, Zheng Heng greeted him with a smile, “Master, why are you back again?”

Yuanming smiled and said, “Amitabha, Hall Master Zheng, I have good news for you. I just received news that the Overlord Blade Sect, the Copper Man Sect, and the Wind Shadow Sect have all agreed to send troops. I believe they will be ready soon. It seems that this expedition to Hell Gate is making some progress.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Heng was taken aback, then his expression changed. He immediately said, “I see. That’s wonderful! I believe we will have good news here soon as well. Please rest assured, Master.” Yuanming nodded

, then smiled at Zheng Heng and said, “I came to tell Hall Master Zheng this good news. I’ll be going back now.” After saying this, Yuanming clasped his hands in a respectful bow to Zheng Heng, then turned and left.

Zheng Heng watched Yuanming’s retreating figure, his eyes narrowing slightly. He understood why Yuanming had come this time—to deliver this message, forcing them to speed things up.

As for Yuanming’s claim that the other three sects had already agreed, he only believed half of it. The other three sects might agree, but they certainly weren’t fully committed. At most, they were still discussing it, just like them. So he wasn’t in a hurry. However, he had to tell Zhu Huoshan that the other three sects had also agreed, because this matter would indeed influence their decision.

Upon realizing this, Zheng Heng immediately went to see Zhu Huoshan and told him about it. Zhu Huoshan was taken aback upon hearing the news, but then immediately said, “Alright, I understand. Send letters to those sects and tell them to make a decision as soon as possible. Inform them that the other three sects have agreed to send troops to Hell Gate, and put some pressure on them.”

Zheng Heng quickly agreed, and Zhu Huoshan waved his hand. Zheng Heng bowed to him and then turned and left. As soon as he returned to his office, he immediately had the news relayed to the various sects. This was to force them to make a statement, hoping they would do so as soon as possible.

Sure enough, this news was somewhat useful to those sects. As soon as they heard that the Tyrant Blade Sect and the other two sects had all agreed to send troops to Hell Gate, they immediately felt that this matter must be true, and of course they had to follow suit. Moreover, they now shared the same thought as the Prajna Temple: could their combined forces not defeat a Hell Gate domain? Not to mention that the Hell Gate Domain is probably already half-crippled. If they could just deal with the people there, they would gain control of two domains at once, which is incredibly attractive to them.

That’s why those sects made their decisions so quickly. After returning from the Fire God Sect, they didn’t have much time to decide that they would participate in this operation.

Subsequently, representatives from those sects returned to the Fire God Sect. Zheng Heng convened another meeting, which Yuanming also attended. Once everyone had arrived, Zheng Heng looked at the crowd and said, “You’ve all returned so quickly. I believe you’ve made your decisions, so I won’t ask you one by one. How about this: which sects agree to participate in this operation? Please raise your hands.” Everyone raised their

hands. Seeing everyone’s hands raised, a smile finally appeared on Zheng Heng’s face. He then said, “Since everyone agrees to participate in this operation, there’s nothing more to say. I’ll ask you another question: can you represent your sect?”

His words surprised everyone. They looked at Zheng Heng with some confusion, wondering why he asked this. Zheng Heng looked at them and then said in a deep voice, “I know you’re all curious about why I asked this. It’s actually very simple. Everyone agrees…” “With participation in this operation, the matter is considered settled. Next, we need to send someone to lead everyone to the Prajna Temple to discuss with the people from each region how many troops each region will contribute, who will command them, and how the spoils will be divided if we defeat the enemy. These are all things that need to be discussed in advance. Only after all these are agreed upon can we truly begin our operation; otherwise, we cannot act.”

Upon hearing this, everyone understood his meaning. The next step was to discuss in detail how to contribute troops and the division of spoils. These people were representatives of their respective sects. If they could not fully represent their sects, they might not be able to make a decision directly, which could lead to problems. It’s like negotiating with someone and everything goes well at the beginning, but when it comes to making a final decision, you suddenly find that you have no power to decide—that would be a huge failure.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Zheng Heng knew they understood his meaning, so he said directly, “You can go back and discuss it with your sects. If you can’t make a decision, it’s best to have someone from each sect who can make the decision come here. Our sect also needs to discuss it. Once we’ve reached an agreement, we’ll set off for Prajna Temple.” Everyone responded, and then Zheng Heng announced the meeting was adjourned.

After Zheng Heng saw everyone off, he went directly to Zhu Huoshan to report on the matter. Zhu Huoshan nodded after hearing his report and said, “Very good, you did a good job. They all agreed to participate in this operation, so we can proceed to the next step. I think it should be like this: once the representatives of each sect are confirmed, you will represent our Fire God Sect and lead those people to Prajna Temple to negotiate. We don’t have many demands for this negotiation, only two words: fairness. Fairness is essential. We can contribute the same number of troops. During the war, we must have independent command. We can be given orders, but not direct orders to our people. Finally, the division of post-war profits must be fair and equal. Prajna Temple cannot demand a larger share just because they were the initiator; that’s unacceptable. We can contribute the same effort, but the final profits must be shared equally.” “It must be divided equally.”

Upon hearing Zhu Huoshan’s words, Zheng Heng immediately replied, “Yes, Sect Master, please rest assured, I understand what to do.” Zheng Heng understood Zhu Huoshan’s meaning; they didn’t want too much or too little benefit, just fairness. Thinking of this, Zheng Heng asked again, “Sect Master, what if the Prajna Temple doesn’t agree to a fair division?”

Zhu Huoshan said in a deep voice, “If they don’t agree to a fair division, then we’d rather not participate in this operation. Because if the division is unfair, the final result will be that the sects might clash again, and at that time, there could be big problems. So we only ask for fairness, and if the sects agree, they must sign a written agreement; just saying it verbally is not enough.”

Upon hearing Zhu Huoshan’s words, Zheng Heng quickly said, “Yes, Sect Master, I understand.”

Zhu Huoshan nodded and then said, “Alright, go and prepare. Once the representatives of each sect are confirmed, you will set off.”
