Chapter 1928: Ye Zhongmingʼs condition and Star-Eye Clanʼs gift

”Donʼt misunderstand. Itʼs not that I think Miss Aslan is not good, nor do I have any negative thoughts towards the Star-Eye Clan. Itʼs just that, on my home planet, I have my own love.”

Ye Zhongming didnʼt care whether these Ten Thousand Races of the universe could understand the meaning of that, and shrugged at the two people with different expressions.

Cheng Liujin relaxed slightly. As long as Ye Zhongming wasnʼt frustrated, it was fine.

He could become a Gold Order Leader, even if this position were only within the Star-Eye Clan, it showed Cheng Liujin had foresight and considered problems comprehensively.

He wouldnʼt be like Aslan, who, once she thought she had considered everything, started to act on her own volition.

The suggestion Aslan just made was, in Cheng Liujinʼs view, an act of her own volition.

Cheng Liujin knew that in Aslanʼs heart, nothing was more important than the survival of the Star-Eye Clan. So when she made this decision, in her own view, she was making a great sacrifice. As long as Ye Zhongming stayed, she was almost handing over half of the Star-Eye Clan to him.

But Cheng Liujin knew that things shouldnʼt be viewed or thought of this way. Your own thoughts, the things you cherish, arenʼt necessarily how others think or what they cherish.

Ye Zhongming became the number one in the most intense Novice battlefield, achieving the highest score in history. Would he be a fool? Someone who couldnʼt see the situation? The Star-Eye Clan might be the sky, the earth, and everything in Aslanʼs eyes, but in his eyes? It was his starting point. If he remembered your kindness, that meant he was good. If he didnʼt, casually compensating you with something and investing elsewhere was also normal.

Also, donʼt forget, they had just asked him for almost half his points, and then you, Aslan, rushed in, saying you wanted to marry him, even promising half the future throne of the Star-Eye Clan. Those with good hearts might think you were eager to make compensation. Those who were suspicious might think this was a pre-arranged double act, that this was a blank check!
This child was determined, had a sense of responsibility, was ambitious, and was willing to make sacrifices—these were natural advantages for her to become the future leader of the Star-Eye Clan. But... she was still too young.

Interest exchange was indeed the law of the planet. However, one must also see the situation clearly.

”Young lady, please go out first.”

If it were any other time, Cheng Liujin, this Gold Order Leader who believed in status, would never speak to Aslan like this. But at this crucial moment, he truly dared not let Aslan speak again, fearing that this girl would say something else out of line, making Ye Zhongming truly angry.

”Zhongming and I still have things to discuss.”

As he spoke, he, in the capacity of an elder, walked to the tent entrance and opened the door for Aslan, simultaneously patting her shoulder and gently squeezing it.

Aslan really intended to say something else, but Cheng Liujinʼs action made her hold back her words.

She knew that this person, who had always followed her parents, was the most loyal and trustworthy. If he didnʼt let her speak, there must be a reason.

After Aslan left, Cheng Liujin sat back on the chair, smiled apologetically, and said, ”The child is still not very mature. She is too anxious to do things for the Star-Eye Clan.”

Ye Zhongming nodded. He could understand and didnʼt have any opinion towards Aslan or the Star-Eye Clan because of this minor incident.

In Aslan, he saw a bit of Xia Bai, just far less crazy than Xia Bai.

”Regarding the points you mentioned, I can give them up. But besides the conditions you stated, I have a few other ideas.”

Cheng Liujinʼs eyes immediately lit up. He wasnʼt afraid of Ye Zhongmingʼs conditions; he was afraid he would leave without them. This was a good start.

”Please speak.”

Ye Zhongming didnʼt hesitate either and started stating his conditions according to his own thoughts.

”That pardon right, I hope the clan can help me use it, exchanging it for a pardon for someone from another race, or directly giving it to a race I decide.”

Cheng Liujin had guessed this earlier, so he wasnʼt surprised at all and immediately nodded in agreement. This matter wasnʼt very difficult.

”The entrance tickets, I want all of them. I also want one spokesperson spot and all the interests it generates. For this spot, I can purchase it with points or Moonspan Gold.”

This request was difficult.

One spokesperson spot could be given up, as the Star-Eye Clan still had four. They also had one entry ticket that could be given. But wanting to take back the entry ticket promised for another race was a bit difficult.

This was also why Ye Zhongming mentioned compensation. If he were just taking things from the Star-Eye Clan, he wouldnʼt give anything.

Cheng Liujin didnʼt answer immediately but quietly thought for a moment before saying, ”It can be done. We can use one of the clanʼs spokesperson spots to exchange for the given entry ticket. They should agree.”

The Gold Order Leaderʼs words ended here. He didnʼt mention payment, obviously intending to bear the loss himself.

This increased Ye Zhongmingʼs good feeling towards him a bit more.

”The points taken from me, I demand they be exchanged for Moonspan Gold at the external ratio.”

Hearing this request, Cheng Liujin felt that it was tough. It wasnʼt that he didnʼt agree, but the Star-Eye Clan temporarily didnʼt have that much Moonspan Gold. Even if they did, they couldnʼt give it all to Ye Zhongming at once; that would cause problems for the clanʼs daily operations.

”I donʼt require the clan to pay immediately. It can be given to me in batches after the spokesperson generates interest.”

Cheng Liujin immediately nodded, saying this was no problem. At the same time, he truly confirmed that Ye Zhongming would not leave the Star-Eye Clan.

”Also, for the clanʼs trade discount reward, I want twenty percent of the difference between the normal price and the discounted price.”

Huh? Cheng Liujin narrowed his eyes. This condition... was a bit different. The clan thought the trade discount wouldnʼt bring much interest; why would Ye Zhongming seriously propose taking the difference? Unless he had a way to make the Star-Eye Clanʼs trade flourish.

But if he could really do that, even if one-fifth of the saved money had to go to Ye Zhongming, it would still be suitable for the Star-Eye Clan. So Cheng Liujin only considered for a few seconds before deciding to agree.

”Finally, the opening time of the planetary battlefield should be decided by the clan, right? I hope the decision-making power for this time is given to me.”

After hearing this, Cheng Liujin paused for a second, then immediately stood up and extended his hand to Ye Zhongming. He knew this was an Earthlingʼs ritual.

”Then we have a deal?”

”Deal!”

The two hands shook, meaning Ye Zhongming truly stood on the Star-Eye Clanʼs side.

Just when they thought the matter was ending, no one expected Cheng Liujin to smile suddenly, take something out of his space, and handed it to Ye Zhongming.

”This is a gift from the Star-Eye Clan to you. Or rather, a responsibility and burden.”

Seeing Cheng Liujin speak so serious, Ye Zhongming curiously opened this exquisite box. Inside was an equally beautiful mask, yet it exuded an ancient and majestic aura.

”From today on, we will work together...”

”Welcome to the team, Bronze Order Leader, Lord Ye Zhongming.”
