This was the first time Xuanyuan saw He Zong after the Ten Thousand Beasts Ceremony ended.

He Zonggui is the king of beasts, and his status should be equal to that of Xuanyuan.

But over the years, there have been signs that the divine power is overriding the royal power, so He Zong still bowed habitually after seeing Su Yan.

He made a fist with one hand and pressed it on his chest, bowed slightly and said, "Master Prophet."

He slowly waved his hand: "Just tell me to be slow."

After the two of them sat down, Bai Di brought two bowls of scented tea and gently placed them in front of them.

He Zong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the scented tea here is very unique. After drinking it today, it is indeed unusual."

"If you like it, I'll have someone pack a bag of dried flowers for you to take back and drink later."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Slowly ask him why he came here today?

"To be honest, I came to you this time to ask you to treat the great elder leniently."

Xuanyuan was a little surprised: "Are you here to plead for the great elder? I never saw that the relationship between you and him is so good before."

He Zong sighed: "There is actually no friendship between me and him. We basically have no contact unless necessary. Everyone knows this, and there is no need for me to deliberately hide it from you."

"Then why do you still want to help him plead for mercy?"

At this time, almost everyone abandoned the Great Elder and wished to stay as far away from him as possible, lest they be implicated by him.

He Zong was the only one who took the initiative to speak for him.

"The Grand Elder is the head of the Presbyterian Church. He has been in office for many years and has extremely senior qualifications. Although it is all his own fault that he is in this situation, his qualifications are there after all. Even if he has no credit, he still has hard work. If you If you just sentence him to death, I'm afraid he will have a bad reputation as a ruthless person, and others will even feel nervous about the death of a rabbit or a fox. If you don't do it right, they may join forces to suppress you."

He Zong spoke eloquently.

But Xuanyuan did not give a direct answer, but turned to look at Bai Di standing next to him.

"What do you think?"

Bai Di calmly analyzed: "What Master He Zong said is certainly reasonable, but it is not comprehensive."

Seeing him refuting her, He Zong instead of getting angry, he pretended to listen attentively: "Tell me, what's not comprehensive about it?"

"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Since he has done something wrong, he must deal with it according to the law. Otherwise, what is the law? If we set a precedent for the great elder and spare him, then others will imitate his behavior in the future. We What should we do? To kill or not to kill?"

He Zong didn't answer, his eyes looked thoughtful.

Bai Di continued: "This is the first, and the second is the second. Xuanyuan has just succeeded to the throne. She came here for the first time. Apart from the divine attendants and divine guards left by Yinji, she has no other supporters. . Her foundation is very shallow. If she does not seize the opportunity to establish her power at this time, I am afraid that the forces hidden in the dark will be ready to take action. When the time comes, they will attack in groups and slowly become the target of public criticism. How should she deal with herself? "

He Zong didn't know how to answer.

Bai Di: "Last point, Xuanyuan has posted the notice regarding the treatment of the great elder. Now the orcs in the city know that the great elder will be sentenced to death. If Xuanyuan suddenly changes his mind at this time, it will be like changing the order overnight. What will happen in the future? Let others believe what she said?"

He Zong twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "You are right, I was negligent."

Slowly comforted: "You also came here to remind me specifically for my own sake. I appreciate your kindness."

He Zong looked ashamed: "Compared to your partner, I still think too narrowly. If there is an opportunity in the future, can I come to Bai Di often for advice?"

"As long as Bai Emperor is willing, I will follow him."

Bai Di said immediately: "I don't dare to ask for advice. I would be honored to have the opportunity to communicate."

"Then it's settled," He Zong seemed very happy with a hearty smile. "By the way, I heard that you have two children. Did they follow you to the City of Beasts?"

"They have other things to do, so they haven't come to the City of Beasts for the time being."

"That's such a pity. I also want them to compete with my unlucky children!"

Bai Di smiled: "There will be opportunities in the future."

Speaking of children, He Zong asked about another child of Huan Huan.

"I heard that you have an eldest daughter who is quite beautiful and strong. It just so happens that my sons are still single. How about finding an opportunity someday for them to meet and communicate with each other. Maybe they can get the right idea. Eyes, they have become a loving couple!"

Xuanyuan didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

She laughed and said, "I have promised Daguai a long time ago that I will not interfere in her private life. It is up to her to choose who she likes and who she wants to find as her partner."

He Zong didn't want to give up: "But you are her mother after all. As long as you just mention a few words in front of her and let her meet my sons, it should be okay, right?"

"She is still in Rock City now. She has to deal with a lot of things in the city. She will not be able to be separated in a short time."

One soft nail after another forced He Zong to temporarily suppress the idea of ​​​​proposing a marriage.

The two chatted a few more words.

He Zong stood up and said goodbye.

He slowly asked someone to load a bag of dried flowers for him to take away.

After he walked away, he slowly looked at the cup on the table.

He Zong's cup of tea was almost untouched. He only took a sip from the beginning to the end and never touched it again.

She said meaningfully: "He Zong doesn't seem to like drinking tea."

Bai Di: "It's normal. Most carnivorous orcs don't like to drink scented tea."

"But he just praised the scented tea for being delicious and took away a large bag of dried flowers."

"Because he's hypocritical."

What he said was quite straightforward, and Xuanyuan couldn't help but laugh: "Since you know this person's hypocrisy, you had such a happy chat with him just now, and also agreed to continue chatting with him if there is a chance in the future?"

Bai Di said without changing his expression: "Because I am also hypocritical."

The words that were obviously self-deprecating came out of his mouth, but people didn't feel that he was belittling himself at all.

After smiling slowly, he said something.

"This King of Beasts is not a simple person either."

"How can someone who can become the king of beasts be so simple?"

"Right."

At this time, Shuangyun walked in. He saw two cups of tea on the table and asked, "Have guests been here just now?"

He slowly smiled and said, "Yes, someone came to propose marriage to me, saying that he wanted me to be his daughter-in-law."

It was related to the life-long happiness of his precious daughter. Shuangyun immediately became nervous: "Who is it?"

"He is the king of beasts and Zong."

Shuang Yun secretly cursed that the toad wanted to eat swan meat, and quickly asked: "You didn't agree to him, did you?"

"No."

He felt relieved: "That's good."
