The Meeting that lasted for close to three hours was finally over. Unfortunately, no agreement could be reached in the meeting since Xu Shan had no intention to actually work with the Celestial Palace.
He intentionally put forth conditions that were impossible for the Palace Master to agree with. At the same time, he left some room for negotiations.
After three long hours of discussions, even the Celestial Palace Master felt a headache coming. In the end, the first meeting ended. The second meeting was assigned to tomorrow morning, to give both sides the chance to think more about it.
Xu Shan left the meeting hall, stretching his arms as if he was extremely tired. It wasn't easy to talk so much nonsense in one session, while also not making the other person suspicious about his intentions. Fortunately, he was quite an intellectual back on earth, so he had some understanding.
