Kai Syaoran sat back down quietly, leaving the remaining negotiations entirely to Black Lotus, who seemed to have planned every detail of this exchange in advance. Judging by the relieved looks on the faces of both Zhao Lusi and Red Lotus, he understood that this turn of events was not a bad thing for his future. Although he had not interacted with Black Lotus much at all, he knew a great deal about the man's reputation, and going by that standard, the mayor was firmly a man of his word. Ever since Kai Syaoran had chosen to leave his path of cultivation, a journey previously fueled entirely by his thirst for vengeance, he had left all long-term planning to Zhao Lusi. She understood the intricate workings of human society far better than he ever could.
"Great Ascendant Zhang Zi Yi, I sent the letter on behalf of Apothecary Kai. His only wish is to have a sanctuary, nothing more," Black Lotus said, his voice booming loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly.
