On the other side, Nancy glanced at Guiwu and asked, "Guiwu, is the Viper Mercenary Group not participating in this reconciliation?"
"No."
Guiwu shook her head and continued, "The Ninja Clan's decision is the Viper's decision. It's all the same whether they participate or not."
Hearing this, Nancy nodded slowly, then gave a few simple opening remarks before getting straight to the point.
"The main purpose of this visit is to mediate between the two families. I wonder what your attitudes are?"
Upon hearing Nancy's words, Guiwu nodded in agreement.
Ying also quickly spoke up, "Tianwang is willing to accept reconciliation, but Tianwang has some conditions!"
"Tianwang has conditions?"
Guiwu's face showed disdain. To promote peace talks, she hadn't even brought up conditions, yet the other party was mentioning them. Where did they get the nerve!
It was known that in the conflict between the Ninja Clan and Tianwang, the Ninja Clan had the upper hand.
As the defeated party, as the weaker one, how could they have the right to discuss conditions!
"What? Can't Tianwang discuss conditions?"
"If that's the case, then there's no point in continuing the discussion!"
Ying's face turned cold, and he glared at Guiwu, speaking fiercely.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian almost burst out laughing.
Just as he had expected, Ying did not want to cooperate with the Ninja Clan. This attitude was too tough. It was likely that the painstaking efforts of the Bright Hall would be in vain again.
"Hmph, if you don't want to talk, then don't talk!"
Guiwu snorted coldly, slammed the table, turned around, and walked towards the door.
Although the Ninja Clan did not want to continue entanglement with Tianwang in China to avoid greater casualties, their attitude, if she didn't make any display, would certainly lead to her being suppressed in the negotiations.
Guiwu was quite experienced in this aspect. She directly countered with a tough attitude, passing all the problems to the Bright Hall.
After all, the Bright Hall was doing its utmost to facilitate reconciliation and would definitely not allow the two sides to leave in anger right at the beginning.
"Guiwu, wait."
"Why not listen to Tianwang's demands? Perhaps the Ninja Clan can accept them?"
"Besides, if you go back like this, you won't be able to report back, will you?"
Seeing Guiwu turn to leave, Nancy immediately called out to her.
Hearing Nancy's voice, Guiwu snorted and returned to her seat, saying, "I'll give you face this time, but tell the people from Tianwang, they'd better not go too far, or they'll face the consequences!"
Ying coldly glanced at Guiwu, who had sat down, and said disdainfully, "What if we go too far? Aren't you back anyway?"
"Ying, don't be so hot-tempered!"
"You're here for peace talks, not a fight, so hurry up and state your conditions. Let's save each other some time."
Seeing Guiwu about to engage in a verbal spar with Ying, Ye Cangtian quickly reached out to stop Guiwu and spoke to Ying. He had no interest in watching the two argue.
Hm?
With those words, a hint of confusion flashed in Nancy's eyes.
Logically speaking, Xuanqi should have been eager for the two sides to continue arguing, preferably to end up in an unpleasant manner. This would give the Dark Association more opportunities for long-term cooperation with the Ninja Clan.
Why was he acting as a peacemaker now?
What was the conspiracy? Nancy pondered in her mind.
Hmph!
On the other side, upon hearing Ye Cangtian's voice, Ying directly snorted.
After a moment of hesitation, he extended three fingers and said, "Three conditions!"
First, the Ninja Clan must bear the main responsibility for this conflict and compensate Tianwang for its war losses with double the amount.
Second, the Ninja Clan must publicly apologize at the tomb of Tianwang's young master, kowtow and repent. The person responsible for the apology must be of a rank no lower than Jonin!
Finally, the Ninja Clan must hand over Guiwu, regardless of whether she lives or dies, and simultaneously, the Ninja Clan should eliminate Ye Cangtian for Tianwang and avenge Tianwang's young master!
Tianwang now had sufficient evidence to prove that the death of Tianwang's young master was due to Guiwu leaking his information, which led to Ye Cangtian coming to kill Tianwang's young master.
Although in his opinion, it was Sasaki who wanted to instigate a civil war between the Bright Hall and Tianwang, and Guiwu was merely an executor.
But there was nothing he could do. Sasaki was a Jonin, and the Eastern Ying Ninja Clan was reluctant to hand over a Jonin.
Therefore, Tianwang did not insist on anything and directly targeted Guiwu.
After all, Guiwu was also a proud daughter of the Eastern Ying Ninja Clan, and a future Jonin at that. It was understandable to think this way.
Ying stated all three conditions in one breath.
Bang!
Upon hearing Ying's conditions, Guiwu immediately slammed the table and roared, "No need to talk!"
The three conditions were extremely humiliating for the Ninja Clan.
If she agreed, Guiwu would consider it self-humiliation.
Heh heh.
Not far away, Ye Cangtian felt a smile spread across his face.
This was truly interesting.
The Ninja Clan had clearly gained the upper hand, yet the conditions proposed by Tianwang treated the Ninja Clan as the defeated party.
Compensation was one thing, but they also demanded that people of Jonin rank and above in the Ninja Clan publicly apologize, kowtow, and even hand over Guiwu.
If these conditions were accepted, the Ninja Clan would definitely become a laughingstock among all factions and lose all face.
Even if the high-ranking officials of the Ninja Clan were foolish, they would not agree to such demands.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian gave Ying a thumbs-up. This move truly made him applaud.
"Guiwu, everything can be discussed. He can set conditions, and you can bargain too."
Nancy once again stopped Guiwu.
Her face was also grim. Bedra had told her that Tianwang had agreed to the peace talks with conditions.
And due to the death of Tianwang's young master, these conditions would definitely be very harsh, so she was advised to be prepared in advance.
However, even though she had prepared herself, upon hearing Ying's conditions, Nancy was still greatly angered. Where was the sincerity for peace talks!
But there was no other way. As the mediator between the two parties, she had to stop Guiwu and continue.
"Alright, then I'll bargain!"
Guiwu turned around indignantly and said coldly, "I also propose three conditions!"
First, all war damage compensation shall be borne by Tianwang, and the Ninja Clan values its talents, so I demand tenfold compensation!
Second, I demand that all high-ranking officials of Tianwang wear mourning for the fallen heroes of the Ninja Clan and sincerely repent at the sacred mountain in the future!
Finally, Tianwang shall surrender to the Ninja Clan for eternity!
Beautiful!
Hearing Guiwu's words, a smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face.
The two sides were confronting each other, showing no intention of backing down. Then what was the point of talking today!
"Guiwu, the Ninja Clan is going too far!"
"The Bright Hall is coming forward to mediate the conflict between the two parties, not to fuel your arrogance!"
"Before you speak, please consider if you can bear the consequences!"
Nancy's icy voice sounded. She could no longer suppress her anger.
"Nancy, stop acting so important in front of me!"
"Our Ninja Clan had sincere intentions from the beginning, but Tianwang was the one who proposed harsh conditions first!"
"And you, representing the Bright Hall, instead of investigating Tianwang's responsibility first, you're questioning me. Is this a fair mediation attitude?"
Guiwu immediately got angry.
She was already filled with anger, and now seeing Nancy showing some favoritism towards Tianwang, she could no longer tolerate it.
Facing such a situation, she would rather the negotiation fail and face punishment upon returning than agree to the other party's conditions.
Because agreeing to the conditions would undoubtedly make her an eternal sinner of Eastern Ying.
"You..."
Nancy heard this and pointed at Guiwu, unable to say a word.
