Chapter 12736 Banquet
Sun Wenhui led two disciples and followed Wu Bing forward. Tonight, Wu Bing came to pick him up in person to show that he valued him. Sun Wenhui was really flattered by this, but he didn't What were he talking about, but he followed Wu Bing and walked straight forward.
Soon they arrived at a small hall. In this small hall, there were already people there, but there were not many people. The leader was an ordinary-looking young man, who was Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai did not move. Instead, he stood there, facing Sun Wenhui Smiling, as soon as Sun Wenhui saw Zhao Hai, he immediately walked over. He stretched out his hand to Zhao Hai even though he was far away, saluted Zhao Hai, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Sun Wenhui is polite to see Sect Master Lin. ”
Zhao Hai returned the gift and then said with a smile: "It is our honor for Elder Sun to come to our Fire Phoenix Sect. Come, let me introduce to you. This is Lie Jian, the head of the Lie family of our Fire Phoenix Sect. This is Liu Ju, the head of the Liu family, and this is..." Zhao Hai introduced Huofeng to Sun Wenhui one by one. After the introduction of the various heads of the sect, they entered the small hall. Many small cases were already placed in the small hall. Zhao Hai sat on the main seat, and Sun Wenhui sat on the left side of Zhao Hai. , the two disciples he brought sat down behind him and there were two small cases there. After everyone sat down, Zhao Hai stood up, smiled slightly at Sun Wenhui, and then said: "Today's banquet is mainly for Elder Sun's team to cleanse themselves from the dust. Elder Sun can come to join me this time. The succession ceremony is to give our Fire Phoenix Sect face, of course we must Thank them well, come, let’s all drink together to support Elder Sun!” After saying that, he picked up the wine glass, and everyone else also picked up the wine glass. Sun Wenhui even stood up, and they raised their glasses from a distance, and then He drained the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then Zhao Hai and Sun Wenhui sat down.
After they sat down, Zhao Hai also started chatting with Sun Wenhui. He did not talk about the relationship between the two sects, but just chatted like ordinary friends. His attitude made Sun Wenhui feel a little surprised. He didn't know what he was doing. What's the meaning.
It wasn't until halfway through the banquet that Zhao Hai said to Sun Wenhui: "Over the years, there have been some misunderstandings between our Fire Phoenix Sect and Taixuan Sect. This has caused the two sects not to have many contacts before. Once at the Jingan Defense Line, there were some conflicts between us. Although there were conflicts, I still admired the people of your sect very much, so when the elders asked me to be the captain of the team, I I thought of Senior Brother Zhang Shang and asked him to be the vice-captain. At that time, I never thought that I could be the leader of the Fire Phoenix Sect. I just wanted to ease the relationship between us as much as possible. Both of our sects are Big sect, every move of our two sects will have an impact on the entire Divine Tree World, so I have never thought that the confrontation between our two sects will be of any benefit to the Divine Tree World. We now have something in common. of The enemy is the Shadow Clan, so I think the people we should deal with most now are the Shadow Clan. It is best for us in the Divine Tree World to unite. Only in this way can we think in one place and work hard in one place. Let’s deal with the Shadow Clan people together, so I’m really happy that your sect can send Elder Sun to attend my succession ceremony this time. This means that your sect also has the intention to ease the relationship between us, which is very important to us, Fire Phoenix. Sect, and your Taixuan Sect, are all good things, so I am here to make it clear that our two sects should put aside their previous unpleasantness and think about where we can cooperate. Yes, let's work together and completely change the relationship between our two sects. I wonder what Elder Sun thinks?" After Zhao Hai said these words, he looked at Sun Wenhui, waiting for his answer.
But Sun Wenhui was stunned by what Zhao Hai said. He never expected that Zhao Hai would be so direct in his words. Under normal circumstances, the leaders of these sects would not speak clearly. Usually, it ends at one point, but Zhao Hai did not. He What he said was really very straightforward. He told Sun Wenhui clearly that the grievances between us and you will be wiped out. From today on, we will move forward and our two sects will strengthen cooperation. In this way There won't be any grudges in the future, let's see what happens. To be honest, Sun Wenhui has heard such straightforward words for a long time. People like them who deal with foreign sects usually make countless twists and turns when they speak. Maybe they only say one sentence in a hundred sentences. Words are the key point, and they have long been accustomed to this method, so when Zhao Hai was so straightforward, he really didn't react for a while.
However, Sun Wenhui had also seen big scenes, so he reacted immediately. He took a deep breath, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Zhao Zongzhu's quick words are really admirable. Sun came here this time because of the Zong. Men Ye does have this intention and wants to resume cooperation with the Fire Phoenix Sect. Since Sect Master Lin agrees, Sun feels that there will be no problem in this matter."
When Zhao Hai heard what Sun Wenhui said, he couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Lin is a casual cultivator, so he inevitably has a bit of a straight temper, so he likes to say whatever he wants, because it is easy to say something that is too false. I don’t want others to have misunderstandings, so I like to If you want to say anything, say it directly, so that the other party will understand what you mean and there will be no misunderstandings. If things are successful, they will be successful, and if they are not successful, they will not be successful. There is no need to say too much, because if the other party wants to succeed, then It can happen, but if you don’t want to, you can’t. It’s that simple. I I don’t like to overcomplicate simple things. It’s not necessary. What is our identity? Our words can determine the relationship between two sects. At this time, it’s really meaningless to talk about what is and isn’t. So I just said it directly, you think so too, that would be great , in the past few days, Elder Sun has had a careful discussion with the elder of our sect’s foreign affairs hall to see if there is any cooperation between our two sects. If there is any, we will sign an agreement directly. This will be beneficial to us. The development of both sects is beneficial, what does Elder Sun think?”
When Sun Wenhui came out this time, the people of Taixuanzong had already given him such power, so he immediately nodded and said: "Of course that is the best. I would like to thank Sect Leader Lin here." Sun Wenhui It is very clear that he is not qualified to directly negotiate cooperation with Zhao Hai. This is not because of Zhao Hai's expression or anything, but because of the rules. Under normal circumstances, if the strength of the two sects is equal, If so, they will respect it A principle of diplomatic reciprocity means that if Sun Wenhui is the foreign affairs hall master of Taixuan Sect, the person he is talking to is the foreign affairs hall master of Huofeng Sect. Zhao Hai will not talk to him in person. There is a gap in status. One of the important reasons why Sun Wenhui and the others believed that the Fire Phoenix Sect attached great importance to them was that Zhao Hai wanted to invite Sun Wenhui to dinner. This was a very good signal. Zhao Hai extended an olive branch first, and Sun Wenhui It was indeed accepted.
What Zhao Hai and Sun Wenhui said before actually set the tone for this matter. If you, Tai Xuanzong, want to ease the relationship with us, then we will cooperate. There are many places for cooperation, then The hatred gradually diminished. If you agree, then let's do it. After getting Sun Wenhui's affirmative reply, Zhao Hai will do the rest of the collective matters. He will no longer talk to Sun Wenhui, because there will be foreign affairs elders from the Fire Phoenix Sect to talk to Sun Wenhui. They have an equal relationship. If Zhao Hai is always talking to Sun Wenhui, it means that the status between them He would not be treated as such. The Fire Phoenix Sect was lower than the Taixuan Sect. Of course, Zhao Hai would not do such a thing, so he asked the people from the Foreign Affairs Hall to talk to Sun Wenhui.
Some people may think that Zhao Hai personally invited Sun Wenhui to dinner. Isn't this a sign of lowering his status? In fact, this is not the case. It was Wu Bing who picked up Sun Wenhui, and it was Wu Bing who arranged for Sun Wenhui. Wu Bing's status was a little higher than Sun Wenhui's. This was because the Fire Phoenix Sect did this out of courtesy, but in general, Their relationship was reciprocal, so things went smoothly.
And Zhao Hai invited Sun Wenhui to a meal. This was considered a courtesy. You are a guest from afar, and Zhao Hai, as the host, would treat you to a meal. There is no problem. This is a courtesy and cannot be regarded as Zhao Hai lowering his status. , but if Zhao Hai had to discuss specific matters in person, then Zhao Hai would have lowered his status, so of course he couldn't do this.
Many people may not understand that in such an occasion, neither of the two sects can give in first. It is like two people crossing a single-plank bridge face to face. When they walked to the middle of the bridge, they met. At this time, both of them Everyone wants to cross the bridge, but no one wants to give in, so what should we do? In fact, it's very simple. The one with more strength must pick up the one with less strength, then turn around and put him behind you, so that both parties can cross the bridge, and no one will say that the one with greater strength is afraid. , is giving in.
The current situation of Zhao Hai and the others is like this. Sun Wenhui came to attend the ceremony, which was a signal sent by Taixuanzong, and Zhao Hai invited Sun Wenhui to dinner, which was also a signal sent by them, and it was equivalent to him hugging Sun Wenhui. Get up and put it behind you so that both of them can cross the bridge smoothly. Therefore, Zhao Hai invited Sun Wenhui to dinner, which will not only prevent people from looking at Together, it will make people admire Zhao Hai even more. Zhao Hai has reconciled with his original enemy Tai Xuan Zong without damaging the face of the Fire Phoenix Sect. In doing so, not only will no one look down on Zhao Hai , underestimate the Fire Phoenix Sect. On the contrary, people will say that the Fire Phoenix Sect is the wisest one, and this is also the best choice. It is the same for both the Fire Phoenix Sect and Taixuan Sect. Now that the business was done, everyone relaxed, and the atmosphere of the banquet became even better. After another hour or so, the banquet dispersed, and Sun Wenhui returned to their courtyard with an excited face, and then He immediately reported the news to their sect. He also brought the small teleportation array, so he could report the news to the sect as soon as possible and wait for the sect's reply, but he actually knew in his heart that this time It's done!
