Dividing interests is akin to "carving flesh".
Demanding prodigies is akin to "digging people".
And this is the framework that the Taoist Court has established as guidelines for all factions of Qianxue.
The upcoming negotiations will be based on this benchmark. If Qianxue's side wishes to avoid having more meat carved off, they must send these four rare bloodline prodigies to the Taoist Court.
To avoid losing people, they must have more flesh carved by the Taoist Court.
Such a condition, Qianxue naturally cannot agree to.
What follows is prolonged negotiation and struggle between the upper echelons.
However, Duanmu Qing hasn't absorbed a word of it; her entire mind is captivated by that celestial, moon-flower-like exquisite figure.
She doesn't care how the Taoist Court will deal with her, because she doesn't have to care.
This matter, the ancestors of her parents' bloodlines have already notified the Taoist Court, making this current "trial" merely a formality.
