Chapter 95 - Meeting of Giants - Part 2
"This is my niece, Sect Master Liu's daughter. Don't worry. I invited her over to represent her father," Uncle Liu called out, causing everyone to chill.
They still gave her stares, but Liu Xinyu didn't mind. She sat down at the empty seat with Mia standing behind her and gave all the people a look over, not scared to face them directly.
'So those are the experts Lady Ming was talking about…' Liu Xinyu thought, recalling the recent talk. 'They came to hunt Xuefeng down just like she expected. She is already a few steps ahead of them.'
Liu Xinyu was already impressed by Ming's abilities but now her respect increased even more.
Twelve of the experts were male, while only two were women. Liu Xinyu naturally paid them more attention, being the representative of the weaker gender. It wasn't a secret that there were fewer female Cultivators so she supported all of them. Both of the women were not human, coming from a different race like seventy percent of the room.
At that level of power, almost everyone had some kind of a bloodline within them, displaying certain attributes accustomed to it. With a quick look, she spotted two Elves, one beast-man, another coming from the aqua world, having two gills on his neck with Water Qi covering them. There was also one member of Dragon Race, his arms covered with patches of red scales.
"So? Care to fill me in?" Liu Xinyu asked with a smile, trying to break the awkward silence. "Uncle?"
When the Dragon Race member gazed at her, she shivered all over so she decided not to provoke them any further.
"Well, I won't beat around the bush. We were talking about the owner of the Elemental Bracelet. I just learned that he is within my city right now," Uncle Liu revealed. "I also talked with your father and confirmed he is also coming here for the same reason. He asked you to come here to represent him."
"Oh! Elemental Bracelet?!" Liu Xinyu exclaimed as her eyes widened but inside she was excited. It seemed like no one knew about Xuefeng being the owner they were looking for, so she still could play the cards as she wished.
"Yes. I'm sure you know about it very well, so I won't explain its unlimited powers," Uncle Liu nodded, taking a sip of his wine before glancing at the guests. "All the people by this table know about it and want it, but that creates a problem. With everyone wanting it, there are bound to be conflicts and that's the last thing I want within my city."
"I see… but if my father also wants the Elemental Bracelet, isn't it already obvious who will get it then? None of you can beat him," Liu Xinyu spit out facts with a shrug.
Instantly, the experts frowned deeply but some smiled at such a remark.
"I'm sure your father doesn't want us to group up against him and get rid of him first," the Dragon Race member replied casually, sipping on his own drink. "We are all in our Avatar forms. We can fight to death and come back again even if we fail. Don't underestimate us kid."
The others nodded in approval but the Elf lady shook her head.
"Don't scare her. We came here, especially since we all want to avoid the bothersome battles and endless struggle. I'm sure there will be even more of us as the days go by. With all of us gathering in the same place, this Capital would become a battlefield and millions of lives would be lost."
"That's exactly why I called everyone for a meeting. I want to avoid the bloodshed of my citizens. If anyone dares to create trouble within my city, I will be the first to send them back," Uncle Liu warned.
"Okay, okay, I'm just joking. Why so tense?" the Dragon Race member sighed with a shrug and leaned back on his chair. "Just as I was saying before, with your connections, it shouldn't be hard to find and catch him. My Treasure is already scanning the whole Capital. I should have his exact location by tomorrow. The only problem we have is who will get it in the end. We should focus on that instead."
"Alright then," Uncle Liu agreed, giving Liu Xinyu a glance. "Anyone has any idea how to solve it then?"
This time the experts began glancing at one another, checking if anyone has any proposal. The Dragon Race member seemed to be the first to suggest what everyone was thinking.
"Shall we find a place and battle it out?"
"Sure. You are going to fight Sect Master Liu first. How about it?" the Elf lady replied sarcastically, adding an eye-roll to it. "How about we base it on luck and do some kind of a draw?"
"Oh, please! Everyone knows your bullshit luck. Do you think we will let you win this easily?" the Dragon Race member exposed her right away.
"Tsk, think of something better then," the Elf lady snickered.
"…"
No one spoke up. It was definitely a tough situation to be in. Everyone wanted it badly but one person was clearly the strongest, making it hard to be fair.
"I have something to say," Liu Xinyu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence once again. Everyone gazed at her curiously, causing her to smile.
'They will find him tomorrow anyway, so I might as well go for a cheeky play…' She thought. 'He will definitely owe me after this.'
"Yes?" Uncle Liu hurried her.
"Let's say, I know who exactly has the Elemental Bracelet and I even met him before coming here. Actually, the only reason I came to the Water Land Capital was to recruit him to our House of Dragons," Liu Xinyu informed calmly. "I find it funny you actually plan to kill one of my father's Personal Disciples."
