When he heard the words "Yi Jinse", Lin Bai instinctively thought of the beautiful woman with an extremely hot temper who came to Baima City last time.
He seems to be a swordsman.
At that time, she clamored to have a showdown with Lin Bai, and finally drew her sword against him.
Fortunately, Lin Bai had no intention of wasting any more time in Baima City at that time, so he did not have any dispute with her.
Now the ancestor of the Seven Nights Divine Sect actually wants to marry her to Lin Bai?
"The ancestor of the Seven Nights Divine Sect just now obviously planned to let me choose one myself."
"But Yu Youdaozi suddenly added, 'It's best to be clean,' so the rickety old man turned his attention to Yi Jinse."
"Does this mean... some of Yi Gu's other sisters may not be married yet, but they already have their hearts set on one another?"
"There is only Yi Jinse, a tiger-girl swordsman, and no one wants him?"
After Lin Bai cursed a few times in his heart, he heard the voice of the rickety old man:
"Emperor Lin Bai, what do you think?"
Lin Bai frowned slightly. He was already very resistant to the marriage contract, let alone this kind of "political marriage", and he was even more troublesome.
Instinctively, I wanted to refuse, but I thought that the Seven Nights Divine Sect could only feel at ease in this way, and I was doubtful about whether to agree.
After all, as the rickety old man said, it is difficult to maintain a long-term agreement with a few verbal agreements.
One more layer of "marriage" means one more layer of protection.
Even if Lin Bai becomes the leader of the Nine Nether Demon Palace in the future and his attitude toward the Seven Nights Sect suddenly changes, he will still think of Yi Jinse's marriage relationship and be accommodating to the Seven Nights Sect.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Bai nodded thoughtfully:
"If this can make the Seven Nights Divine Sect feel at ease, then I have no problem with it."
The rickety old man nodded and said, "Okay, then the matter is settled."
"Prince Lin Bai, please prepare for your wedding tomorrow."
"Now that the Seven Nights Divine Sect is in decline, we can no longer invite many guests. The current situation in the demon world is not stable, so we should keep everything simple!"
What!... Lin Bai was stunned and jumped up in fright: "Are you getting married tomorrow?"
"this……"
According to Lin Bai's idea, he should agree to the Qiye Shenzong's proposal first, and then slowly look for opportunities to cancel the engagement later.
But I didn't expect the rickety old man to be so eager. If he agrees today, he will get married tomorrow?
The rickety old man smiled and said: "This is not only for our Seven Nights Sect, but also for your Jiuyou Demon Palace."
"Once the news of the marriage between the Demon Palace Emperor's son and the Third Miss of the Seven Nights Sect spreads, the entire Seven Nights Sect will know our attitude, and there is no need for us to publicize it."
This is a true statement... Lin Bai nodded silently.
Once the news of Lin Bai and Yi Jinse's marriage spread, all the forces in the entire Seven Nights Divine Sect knew that the Seven Nights Divine Sect had officially surrendered to the Nine Nether Demon Palace and became a vassal of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
This is also one of Lin Bai's main goals when he came to Baima City.
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "If we just want to spread the news, we won't get married so soon."
"If the news spreads, Jiuyou Demon Palace will naturally take responsibility to the end."
The rickety old man said: "Emperor Lin Bai, don't be nervous. Even if you get married tomorrow, it will just be a formality and there won't be many guests coming."
Lin Bai shook his head again and said, "I don't have that much time to stay in Baima City."
"Now that the Southern Territory is invading Qitian Sect's territory, I don't know how long Qitian Sect can resist."
"Qitian Sect has asked for help from Wansheng Mountain, Chu State, and Jiuyou Demon Palace, but Jiuyou Demon Palace is still busy with matters in the territory of Qiye Shenzong and has no time to be distracted."
"After I handle the matter in Baima City, I will go to Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect non-stop."
Having said this, Lin Bai paused and said, "I can agree to the Seven Nights Divine Sect's marriage request, but the marriage will definitely not happen now."
"To put it bluntly, I don't know what the Seven Nights Divine Sect is planning, and I don't know if the Seven Nights Divine Sect has other aspirations!"
"We all need time to trust each other more, don't we?"
The rickety old man narrowed his eyes, slowly analyzing what Lin Bai said in his heart, and couldn't help but nodded.
"What Emperor Lin Bai said is also reasonable."
"That's fine."
"When you get married, you don't have to make a big fuss about it."
"Since Emperor Lin Bai still has to deal with matters in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, I don't dare to keep you any longer."
"I think that's it, just get married, let's have the wedding tonight!"
Ah! This is getting more and more outrageous!... Lin Bai couldn't help but widen his eyes. Why did it sound like this old man had to send Yi Jinse to Lin Bai?
And he was very eager.
But this also reveals that the Seven Nights Sect is really at the end of its rope and continues to need better support.
Lin Bai smiled bitterly: "We are talking so enthusiastically here, and we don't even ask Miss Yi Jinse for her opinion?"
The rickety old man pursed his lips and did not reply for the time being. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Then please ask Emperor Lin Bai to rest for the night in Baima City. No matter what, we will give Emperor Lin Bai an answer as soon as possible."
Lin Bai helplessly spread his hands: "Okay."
Under Yi Gu's arrangement, Lin Bai, Mr. Wen, and Daozi Yuyou moved into the city lord's mansion.
…
In a villa.
Daozi Yuyou and Mr. Wen stood side by side next to Lin Bai, while Lin Bai glanced at Mr. Wen somewhat sullenly.
Mr. Wen had a wry smile on his face and lowered his head without daring to reply.
Lin Bai clicked his tongue and said impatiently: "Mr. Wen, you proposed to agree to this matter, will you solve it?"
Mr. Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this may be the most promising way to quickly stabilize the Seven Nights Sect."
"Besides... the emperor should also know that for top sects, super aristocratic families, or dynasties, marriage is something that every saint, prince, and emperor cannot escape."
"For example, when the emperor was still the Wolf Marquis of Chu State, didn't Emperor Chu also arrange a marriage for you?"
"Let you marry Princess Shenxian."
Mr. Wen said: "It's just that when the Chu State asked the emperor's son to marry, it was because it wanted to win over the emperor's son; but now that the Seven Nights Divine Sect wants to marry the emperor's son, it is because it wants to rely on the Demon Palace to gain protection."
Lin Bai took two deep breaths, his mood gradually stabilized, and his tone gradually turned calm:
"I thought that only mortal dynasties would like marriage, but I didn't expect that the world of martial arts is the same."
Mr. Wen calmly said: "The martial arts world is also made up of people. In fact, there is not much difference between the martial arts world and the mortal world in terms of certain underlying rules."
Lin Bai asked helplessly: "What should we do now?"
Mr. Wen said with a smile: "Since I have agreed, let's take it one step at a time!"
"Besides, although Yi Jinse of the Seven Nights Divine Sect has a bad temper, she is indeed a rare beauty."
"Although the Seven Nights Divine Sect is currently in decline, after all, it was once a prosperous sect and had experienced glory."
"Yi Jinse is worthy of being the son of God."
Lin Bai said angrily: "I already have a family, there is no way I can marry a wife in the devil world."
Mr. Wen nodded and said: "I understand the emperor's thoughts, so for some things... we just need to play it by chance."
"In other words... the Seven Nights Divine Sect insists on marrying Yi Jinse to the emperor's son because it wants to spread the news and let the outside world know the Seven Nights Divine Sect's attitude!"
"To put it simply...this marriage is not for the emperor and Miss Yi Jinse, but for other people to see."
"Since it's just a joke, it's very simple. The emperor is so smart, so I don't need to explain it carefully, right?"
After hearing Mr. Wen's analysis, Lin Bai felt a sudden realization and smiled and patted his head:
"What Mr. Wen means is...even if we have a wedding tonight, we don't need to do anything. We just need to stay in the room all night?"
"Anyway, this is just a joke. We just need to let outsiders know... that we have consummated our marriage."
Mr. Wen nodded with a smile, and immediately said: "Of course, if the emperor falls in love with Miss Yi Jinse, it would not be a bad idea to marry her back to the Demon Palace."
"Come to think of it, the Demon Palace will not interfere with the emperor's thoughts!"
"Then forget it!" Lin Bai shook his head repeatedly.
…
Baima City, the city lord's mansion, in the meeting hall.
Yi Gu and Yi Jinyi, accompanied by the rickety old man, called over all the current senior leaders and core warriors of the Seven Nights Sect.
Among them are Yi Gu's other six sisters, as well as the fire warriors currently preserved by the Seven Nights Divine Sect, that is, those talented warriors.
Seeing that all the warriors from the Seven Nights Divine Sect had arrived, the rickety old man pretended to cough twice:
"I called everyone here today because Lin Bai, the emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, suddenly visited Baima City today."
After hearing the news that Lin Bai, the emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, had arrived in Baima City, everyone present was stunned.
"What? Lin Bai came to Baima City?"
"Why didn't you hear the news at all?"
"What is he here for? Is the Nine Nether Demon Palace going to kill us all?"
Many younger warriors present suddenly felt a little uneasy, including many high-level warriors whose faces were covered with a layer of gloom.
Yi Jinse, who had a hot temper, immediately stood up from his chair, with a cold look on his face and murderous intent:
"This thief still dares to come to Baima City!"
"Where is he now? I'm going to kill him with a sword!"
As he spoke, Yi Jinse took out the sword from his storage bag and looked like he was going to fight Lin Bai.
The rickety old man glanced sideways at Yi Jinse, raised his hand slightly to signal Yi Jinse not to be impulsive, and then said slowly:
"Emperor Lin Bai returned to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect this time just to deal with the civil strife in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"He brought some proposals to the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
"Nine Nether Demon Palace is willing to divide fifteen thousand states so that our Seven Nights Divine Sect can live in peace and prosperity."
"And what we, the Seven Nights Divine Sect, have to do is surrender to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and no longer become enemies of the Nine Nether Demon Palace and become its vassals!"
"The territory assigned to us by the Nine Nether Demon Palace is the fifteen thousand states surrounding the former capital of the Seven Nights Sect."
"I discussed it with Sect Leader Yi Gu and thought this was a good condition for cooperation, so I agreed."
Hearing that Lin Bai came this time to deal with the civil strife in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and was also willing to give the Seven Nights Divine Sect a place to rest and live, made many high-level warriors and talented warriors present smile.
Especially those high-level warriors, they know better than the talented warriors how difficult the situation the Seven Nights Sect is currently facing.
Although on the surface it seems that the Seven Nights Divine Sect still retains a lot of high-level warriors, in fact there is a big gap when it comes to the top sects in the Seven Nights Divine Sect's territory.
Especially at present, Chunyang Sect, Phoenix Valley, Qinglian Sect, Fantian Sect, Worshiping Heaven Sect and other sects are all eyeing the Seven Nights Sect.
They haven't shown any obvious malice yet, that's because the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect has not yet stabilized.
Once the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is stabilized, these sects will never allow the Seven Nights Divine Sect to survive in the world.
They will definitely pounce on the Seven Nights Divine Sect like wolves and tigers, uproot the Seven Nights Divine Sect, and take all the treasures as their own.
So now the rickety old man and Yi Gu take advantage of the fact that the value of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is not exhausted and reach cooperation with the Nine Nether Demon Palace in advance. That is the best thing.
Once this opportunity is missed and the chips in the hands of the Seven Nights Divine Sect become less and less, the conditions for cooperation will naturally become lower and lower.
"Give us fifteen thousand states?"
"And it's also the fifteen thousand states surrounding our Shanmen area?"
"Although this is not as good as when our sect was at its peak, it is great compared to the current state of being dependent on others."
"It seems that Emperor Lin Bai really came here with sincerity."
Many high-level warriors murmured secretly in their hearts, and even many talented warriors felt that this condition was good.
After all, the current Seven Nights Divine Sect can no longer be described as a prosperous sect.
After hearing the words of the rickety old man, Yi Jinse's expression softened slightly, but his heart was still full of hatred for Jiuyou Demon Palace and Lin Bai.
In her opinion, the Nine Nether Demon Palace is the main culprit for the Seven Nights Divine Sect to suffer such a disaster and fall into the state it is in today.
After the rickety old man finished speaking, he looked around the room. He heard no objections, which made him feel slightly relieved.
It seems that everyone agrees with and can accept the current negotiated deal.
The rickety old man said in a deep voice: "But this is only a verbal agreement between us, Jiuyou Demon Palace and Emperor Lin Bai."
"Nine Nether Demon Palace has the possibility of going back on its word at any time."
As soon as this statement came out, it was also recognized by many warriors:
"It's just a few empty words. What if the Nine Nether Demon Palace regrets it?"
"How about asking the Nine Nether Demon Palace to make a covenant and swear an oath?"
"This is not appropriate. We are not qualified to ask Jiuyou Demon Palace to do this!"
Currently, the warriors of the Seven Nights Sect are thinking about how to prevent the Nine Nether Demon Palace from regretting their actions and give the Seven Nights Sect time and opportunity to stabilize and develop.
The rickety old man said in a deep voice: "So for this reason... I and the Yigu Sect have discussed and decided to use the marriage relationship to stabilize the relationship between us and the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"
Many warriors also agreed with this.
After all, for high-level sects and families, marriage has always been a good choice, which can deepen the contact and relationship between the sects and families of both parties.
The rickety old man took a deep breath, slowly looked at Yi Gu's seven sisters, and finally landed on Yi Jinse:
"Jinse, we have decided to marry you to Emperor Lin Bai's son!"
What!...Yi Jinse, who was still holding the sword and threatened to chop Lin Bai just now, immediately widened his eyes when he heard this!
