As the curtain of night gradually fell, this secluded courtyard gradually fell into silence.
Hearing the laughter of the beastmen girls gradually stop, a trace of disappointment appeared on Xu Yi's face.
He had patiently waited here for two hours, but there hadn't been a single beastmen girl that had come to find him.
Of course, he wasn't waiting for a beastmen girl to take the initiative, rather he wanted to see if any of these beastmen girls had this kind of awareness.
Two hours ago, Xu Yi had announced to these beastmen girls that he would be heading back to Banta City tomorrow. If there were any beastmen girls who wanted to go back with him, they could set off together.
At the same time, he also said that after returning to Banta City, he would discuss with Stiel about the future of the New Moon Troupe. If there were any beastmen girls who wanted to stay in the New Moon Troupe, of course they could stay.
And if they didn't want to stay and wanted to find another path for themselves, he would also welcome them and do his best to make arrangements for them.
In order to let these beastmen girls understand his meaning, Xu Yi even clearly told them that his hope for the New Moon Troupe was to let the beastmen show themselves to the humans of the Lampari Kingdom, changing the image of the beastmen in the minds of the humans. He didn't want the New Moon Troupe to be a simple springboard that would allow them to live the luxurious lives of the humans.
"To put it simply, I don't want you to become the playthings of the human nobles or merchants." In the end, Xu Yi even directly threw down these words.
However, after saying this, Xu Yi patiently waited in the room Baron Hannas had prepared for him for two hours, but there wasn't a single beastmen girl that took the initiative to come find him.
Xu Yi was naturally very disappointed.
But thinking about it, he felt that his request for these beastmen girls was too high.
For these beastmen girls, because they had always lived in the harsh Black Rice Wasteland, now that they came to Anvilmar City and saw the luxurious lives of the human nobles and merchants, it was natural that they would be attracted to them. Xu Yi blaming and forcing them like this wasn't reasonable.
"Perhaps I should be a bit more ruthless?"
Xu Yi looked at the last Magic Lamp in the courtyard where the beastmen girls were resting and a trace of hesitation appeared in his heart.
Since this New Moon Troupe bore his expectations, then when the direction of the New Moon Troupe went against his expectations, he should forcefully reverse it.
With his and Stiel's ability to control these beastmen girls, this was an easy matter.
But Xu Yi thought of the beastmen girls' happy smiles when they talked about their lives in Anvilmar City, Xu Yi's heart.
"There has never been a human who thought about beastmen like me?
Since this is the path that they have chosen, then let them be … "
Xu Yi gave a bitter laugh and slowly shook his head before standing up to rest.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a white shadow appear on the path outside the door.
Seeing Avril floating over, Xu Yi couldn't help revealing a smile.
....
Avril, you haven't slept yet? "
Avril lightly shook her head. Her furry fox ears shook twice in the night wind, giving her a playful feeling. Paired with her delicate and beautiful face, it was no wonder that she was the target of many nobles and merchants in Anvilmar City.
"Sir chairman, can I disturb you for a bit?"
"Come in."
After entering the room, Avril took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Xu Yi before respectfully standing in front of Xu Yi. Only when Xu Yi signaled to her, did she sit in front of Xu Yi.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Xu Yi maintained a gentle tone and expression.
Avril gritted her teeth and seemed to hesitate. After a while, she seemed to have made a decision and forcefully nodded.
"Sir chairman, actually ….. Actually, we all understand what you just said to us and we are all very grateful to you. Because from your words and the way you treat us, we all know that you are one of the few humans that truly treats us as equals.
And those human nobles and merchants that chase us really only treat us as playthings. "
Xu Yi looked at Avril with surprise. He thought that these beastmen girls weren't brainless after all.
"It seems like you are the representative they sent?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Alright, tell me what you think and your decision."
"Sir chairman, actually ….. Actually, you might look down on us, but from our point of view, even if we are treated as playthings by those human nobles and merchants, as long as they give us a good living condition, we feel that even if we are treated as playthings ….. it is nothing ….."
"That means you're very clear on what you want." Xu Yi nodded.
"If this is your final choice, then I have no objections.
But I have to warn you, if anyone makes this choice, then they must leave the New Moon Troupe because I need to maintain the purity of this troupe. "
Avril shook her head, "Sir chairman, you misunderstand.
We actually just want a stable and comfortable life. After all, we all lived in the Black Rice Wasteland before and the conditions were very bad, I think you know that.
Now that there is a chance to live a good life, no one wants to miss it. "
Xu Yi gave a soft snort, "I said it before, this is your own choice and I won't interfere with you.
But I have the right to interfere with this troupe. "
Avril gritted her teeth and revealed a bitter expression. She shook her head and said, "Sir chairman, you still don't understand what I mean.
Actually we ….. we are all very uneasy. "
"Uneasy?"
Xu Yi looked at her with surprise. Seeing the panic, hesitation, and anxiety on Avril's face, he gave a slight nod.
"You came from the Black Rice Wasteland to live in our human world, it is normal for you to feel uneasy.
But I feel that placing your hopes on the nobles and merchants chasing after you really isn't a good choice. "
"We also understand this, but sir chairman, what choice do you want us to make?" Saying this, Avril looked at Xu Yi with a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
"Actually ….. Sir chairman, the sisters of the troupe have been chatting in private and they all think that compared to the nobles and merchants of Anvilmar City, you are countless times better.
If you're willing to accept us, everyone will be very happy. "
Seeing the hope in Avril's eyes, Xu Yi revealed a trace of awkwardness. He gave a cough and waved his hand, "If I do this, then what difference would there be between me and the nobles and merchants who want to treat you as playthings?
So don't mention it again. "
Avril's face was filled with disappointment. She gave a sigh and shook her head, "No, sir chairman, you are different because you treat us as equals from the bottom of your heart. You are not like the nobles and merchants of Anvilmar City who only respect us on the surface."
"Since you think I'm treating you as equals, then it's even more impossible for me to do this kind of thing." Xu Yi took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Alright, I understand what you're thinking.
I've also said that I won't interfere with your decision.
But I can promise you one thing. "
Avril blinked her large eyes that were filled with charm as she looked at Xu Yi.
"If you choose to stay in the New Moon Troupe, then I will do my best to find a way for you to truly stand on your own in our human world and not rely on other humans.
I can't guarantee that I can do it 100%, but I will do my best.
If you believe me, then stay. If you don't believe me, then I won't interfere with your choice. "
Avril's beautiful eyes blinked and her expression changed. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but after pausing, she didn't say anything.
After thinking for a bit, Avril respectfully gave Xu Yi a bow before leaving.
As soon as Avril left, Baron Hannas entered the room.
"Xu Yi, why are you doing this for the beastmen?" Baron Hannas tightly knit his brows as he revealed a confused look.
"Actually your goal is to have the other race workers in the kingdom accept them, right?
I feel that this is very simple, there are many other race workers working in your New Flyer. Everyone already knows that they bring quite a few benefits, so it isn't hard to accept them. "
"This is different." Xu Yi shook his head.
"Our New Flyer accepted the other race workers quickly because of me, but it isn't the same for others.
Even in the current Banta City, the other race workers are still discriminated against. "
Baron Hannas still said, "Could it be that you want all humans to treat other races equally?
That is definitely impossible! "
"How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried?" Xu Yi looked at him.
Hannas was a bit confused, "Xu Yi, I still don't understand. Why do you want humans and other races to coexist peacefully?
If you want to obtain something from the other races, with the current strength of us humans, you can just force them to take it out. Why do you need to spend so much effort? "
"You don't understand this.
Alien races are called alien races because there are many differences between them and us humans.
There are some things that even if they take it out, we humans can't learn.
Perhaps we can obtain some benefits by forcing them, but we definitely can't obtain what we really need.
So in order to obtain the best things from them, we need them to be willing. "
"What?
Has your New Flyer tasted many benefits from the other races? "Baron Hannas asked.
"Of course.
I can even say that the reason why our Frestech Chamber of Commerce can develop this quickly is because of the other races in the company.
If it wasn't for their work and contributions, New Flyer definitely wouldn't be as strong as it is now. "
Hearing the pride in Xu Yi's voice, Baron Hannas couldn't help smiling.
"That's good, the powerful New Flyer's chairman Xu, I hope that when you see those old men in the Royal Parliament tomorrow, you can still smile like this."
Xu Yi deeply knit his brows.
