Shangguan Li was not a sloppy person, and it was not easy for him to change his mind, he only said: "Your Highness, the reason why I am saying this is not because you are rude or do not understand the reason, it is just that I do not have any plans in this area, I have come out to explain myself clearly."

Peacock King was helpless under her words. This was the first time she walked out of the forest, the first time she liked a woman, but she was actually rejected so straightforwardly.

Could it be that the people from before said that he was good-looking, had a high status, and that many of the women who liked him were lying?

Shangguan Li did not leave after saying those words, but she felt a little uncomfortable as this was also the first time she rejected another person. Seeing the doubtful expression on Peacock King's face, she felt a little guilty.

However, she, Shangguan Li, was not a little white rabbit after all. After calming down for a while, she said, "Your Highness, what I mean is not that you're not good, but my problem."

She wanted to minimize the damage to Peacock King.

It was once rumored that the Ye Gongzi was vicious and never hesitated to do anything, but in truth, no one had ever come into contact with her and understood her.

"It's fine, I accept. However, I do not want to give up. Let's just eat." Peacock King acted as if he had a powerful heart, trying his best not to show any suspicion towards his own life.

Shangguan Li still wanted to say something, but Peacock King interrupted him immediately: "I promise I won't mention anything about liking you, so I'll just eat a meal."

This time, Shangguan Li did not say anything about it being rejected.

"Fine." She nodded.

Once the dishes were served, Shangguan Li took the initiative to ask: "Your Highness Peacock King, may I ask you something?"

"Of course, go ahead." Peacock King's expression was already very warm.

"How much do you know about the invasion of the western border?" Shangguan Li asked before adding, "If it's inconvenient, you can forget about it."

Peacock King was startled for a moment, then said: "This matter, there is nothing to say, they are most likely being bewitched by you humans."

"Human?"

"Before the invasion of the western border, there were also humans that came to our southern territory to negotiate with my King Axe. They said that as long as my Royal Father and your human race waged war, she would promise my Royal Father great benefits." The Peacock King paused for a moment and said:

"This benefit is involved too much, so I won't tell you about it. In short, after my Axe King refused, the western border started a war with you humans."

Shangguan Li quickly found out the connection.

"Does Your Highness know which power amongst the humans it is?"

"I don't know. That person was very mysterious and didn't reveal anything." The Peacock King answered truthfully.

Shangguan Li nodded: "Thank you."

"It was a small matter." Peacock King laughed.

However, as the person who gathered information on the transaction, Shangguan Li knew exactly how important this information was.

After the two of them ate, Shangguan Li rode on the carriage and left. Even though she had boarded the carriage, she had a premonition that the Peacock King was watching her from behind.

"Miss, that Peacock King treats you so well." Xiao Lan asked again, "Do you really not feel anything for him?"

Shangguan Li shook his head.

"Why don't we get along a little more? Maybe it's more appropriate?" Xiao Lan advised.

"Nope." Shangguan Li rejected decisively.

Xiao Lan lamented, "But he's really very good."

"What is it? "You like it?" Shangguan Li teased as he looked at her.

"No, I feel sorry for you." Xiao Lan said snappily.

Shangguan Li was afraid that she would lecture him, hence he nodded his head: "Alright, you don't have anymore, okay?"

After that, she closed her eyes, which meant that she did not want to speak anymore. Xiao Lan was also helpless towards this.

Shangguan Li was not lying on the rooftop, bored out of his mind, drinking and watching the moon. In his heart, he was thinking that Shangguan Li had made some progress after leaving for such a long time.

Towards this, she couldn't resist the flames of gossip in her heart, and only waited for Shangguan Li to return.

When Shangguan Li walked into the courtyard, he saw Hua Ruge on the roof. He jumped down and asked: "How is it?"

"Yes." Shangguan Li replied.

"Tell me, how is your progress?" Hua Ruge asked.

"I made it clear that there won't be any progress." Shangguan Li replied indifferently.

"Are you for real?" Hua Ruge said as he looked at Xiao Lan who was behind Shangguan Li.

Xiao Lan nodded his head helplessly.

"Fine." Hua Ruge lowered his head, and the flames of gossip were immediately extinguished.

Shangguan Li walked in front of the chair and sat down, then said: "Do you want to hear about the matters of the western border?"

"I really want to know when this iron tree will blossom." Hua Ruge said as he sat across her, "Since there is no flower, let's talk about the news."

"He said that the chaos in the western border attacking humanity was planned by us humans." Shangguan Li said.

Hua Ruge was startled. "What?"

"A human secretly infiltrated into the Southern Wilderness and promised Old Peacock King some benefits for him to cooperate, but he didn't agree. Only the invasion of the western border. " Shangguan Li explained.

"No wonder the western border suddenly went to war." Although this doubt was solved, Hua Ruge became even more confused: "But who would be so bored as to let a war take place between a human and the western border, what benefits would they get?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. The beneficiaries of both sides' battles are supposed to be the eastern and southern borders, not humans." Shangguan Li said.

"Yes, why?"

"However, as one of the beneficiaries of the Southern Wilderness, Peacock King's words cannot be completely trusted. We still have to make our own judgement." Shangguan Li said calmly.

Although this thought was somewhat petty, she had always viewed matters of the heart differently from what they were actually about.

Hua Ruge nodded, and said: "We need to think of a way to try it out."

Shangguan Li expressed his agreement.

In the following seven days, the human race and the western border waged a large-scale war. They fought for seven days and seven nights in a row, and suffered numerous casualties.

When Tuoba Rui just got off the battlefield, he received a letter. It was from Hua Ruge two days ago.

In this period of war, only the Night Pavilion could transmit the message so quickly.

He returned to his room and opened it. Inside was the familiar ugly handwriting of Hua Ruge. He was initially concerned about his body, asked about his condition, and then told her what she had found out.

When Tuoba Rui saw this news, he also frowned. Although he had felt that it was strange previously, no one had been able to find information on sea beasts, so he had not known about it.

Not only did Hua Ruge mention the matter, he also listed a solution. The specific solution was to send the trusted messengers of the negotiations to negotiate with the western border, trying to trick them, but the most important part was to stall for time.2

After a long period of time, the instigators of these actions would most likely take action. By then, they would be secretly monitored, and once they did, they would have a clear idea of what was happening.

Seeing the plan, Tuoba Rui nodded, he could try.
