She felt that the only explanation for this matter was that they were going to discuss it and alert the enemy. The human forces hiding behind the western border might be afraid of exposing themselves, so they ended the conversation early. This was indeed Hua Ruge's credit.
Hua Ruge finished expanding and then said: "However, I am not the only one who did this good deed, the main reason is still because of you."
"Thank you, Peacock King, for this matter." Shangguan Li looked at her: "Treat him to dinner."
"Why me?"
"Because you are worried about the country and the people. Now that humanity is at peace, shouldn't you thank them?" Shangguan Li gave a reason.
Hua Ruge rolled his eyes at her: "To think you could think of that."
Shangguan Li had a modest look, as if telling Hua Ruge that she was not at all proud.
"I have to show gratitude to the other party for treating me to dinner. You don't know how proud Peacock King is. If it wasn't for you, his attitude towards me wouldn't have been good at all. " Hua Ruge said again, she was not exaggerating, Peacock King was truly that kind of person.
Other than Shangguan Li, no one would buy it.
"Then forget it, I've already refused. I don't want to be cut off from him, and I don't want to leave any lingering thoughts for him either." Shangguan Li said decisively.
Hua Ruge thought about it and nodded, "If you really have thought about it, you should do the same."
When this topic came to an end at Shangguan Li's place, she said, "This matter is not over yet. The terms for the negotiations have yet to be determined."
"A million medicinal pellets, they are truly asking for too much." Hua Ruge thought for a moment, then guessed: "Do you think it's possible that the humans behind the scenes in the Western Sea might have made them do this, and then split it evenly?"
"I can't say for sure, but no matter how I think about it, this situation is fishy. I just feel like there's something that doesn't make sense." Shangguan Li pondered.
Hua Ruge nodded: "I feel the same way."
The current situation was enough to show that what the Peacock King said was true. There were indeed powers controlling the people behind the western border, and they could very likely be humans.
But if it was a human, why would they start this war? What good would it do?
Furthermore, what were the benefits that humans promised to the beast kings?
What was in front of them right now was why they were in such a hurry to call for peace. Was it because the plot was easy to be discovered, or was it that there were some flaws left behind?
That was what the two of them were thinking. As long as one of them was connected, the other two would be connected. However, they still didn't have enough knowledge to restore the truth.
"I'll let my people watch and see if they find anything." Shangguan Li said.
Hua Ruge nodded her head. Her mind was still a little hazy, as if they could connect together, but at the same time, she couldn't link them together. She needed more clues.
"I have another worry." Shangguan Li reminded him, "It's the source of the medicinal pellets."
Hua Ruge thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows.
"If the people of the western border were to continue fighting if they didn't agree, then they would definitely compromise. But with so many pills, who would be able to take them out? " Shangguan Li asked.
Hua Ruge also thought of this problem after she reminded him. If he really agreed to this condition, then he would have to take a majority of the pellets from Fu Sang for sure. After all, the Sea Beasts originally wanted to invade Fu Sang.
Although Fu Sang had a lot of resources, but he had been almost wiped out by the Hundred Sects for the past year.
After that was the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace and the various large sects. These people wouldn't be so foolish as to take his pills. They would definitely find an excuse to say that they had used up their pills during the war.
At this time, it was possible that the entire continent would lock their eyes onto her,.
Firstly, she was a businessman that was easy to bully. Secondly, she was the only one who could take out so many pills, so they had to split into batches.
If things got to this point, was she taking it out? Or not to take it out?0
If she took it, her business empire would be wasted and she would fall apart in a matter of minutes.
If she didn't take it, the Hundred Sect members would probably just come to snatch it. Although fighting sea beasts was no good, it was still more than enough to bully a girl like her.
At that time, even Tuoba Rui would not be able to protect her against everyone.
There were only two endings left, either to be poor or to be poor.
Right now, she couldn't sit still and wait for death. She had to come up with a plan in advance. But it didn't seem that easy.
This put the two of them in a difficult position, so they focused their attention on this matter.
Deep in the ocean, in the temporary palace, Tuoba Rui received information from the hundreds of sects. When they were negotiating again, they did not do as they said, and did not allow the negotiators to pass, either.
The sea beasts were stunned. Just who was it that asked for peace? Is it really okay to be so arrogant?
Sea Beasts were obviously not weak. They immediately said, "If you humans don't meet our requirements, then there's nothing left to talk about. Let's continue with the war."
"Sure." Tuoba Rui did not give in at all, completely surpassing the Sea Beasts in terms of aura.
"You must think it through." The sea monster said.
In these words, Tuoba Rui heard the sea beasts' unwillingness and determination. He was completely sure that there were still matters to be discussed, and said: "Alright, I am the human delegation's representative, I can represent the entire human race."
The sea beasts were still organizing their speech, so Tuoba Rui said: "All representatives mean that I can represent the human race to negotiate peace with you, and the human race to declare war with you."
The sea monster became enraged after being suppressed by Luo Yuan. It slammed the table and said, "Human, how many heads do you have on your head for running to the ground of our sea monster?"
"One is enough." Tuoba Rui glared at the other party coldly. It was clear that he was going to make a move just because he couldn't accept the outcome.
This Ocean Beast had heard of Tuoba Rui's fame before, and had also heard of it from the Beast King before he came. Otherwise, there would be no way to end this.
"I'll give you one night to think it over. If you continue to act this way tomorrow, don't blame me for being heartless." The sea monster snorted and left the seating area.
Tuoba Rui had some faint news in his eyes, he had already determined the western border's attitude, and they also wanted to plead for peace.
That's easy.
On the way back, Fructus Spleenae Fructus asked, "Senior brother, you are really bold, aren't you afraid that the Fish Essence would attack you?"
"If you want to make a move, then take a step back. Negotiations should be held." Tuoba Rui said indifferently.
Fructus Spleenae Fructus looked surprised: "You know how to retreat, Senior Brother?"
"He only knows that the one charging forward is a fool." Tuoba Rui glanced at him. Besides the strength of both parties, the most important thing on the negotiation table was the negotiator.
If he were to be patient, it would only make the other party more greedy, so he had to be a bit more tough.
Fructus Spleenae Fructus nodded his head, "Senior Brother's words are reasonable."
Tuoba Rui continued to walk forward.
"But senior brother, if we were to really bite it to death and refuse to hand it over, even the sea beasts would not be able to make it to us. I feel that there will be trouble sooner or later." Fructus Spleenae Fructus said.
"I know, so I still have to. Just give less." Tuoba Rui said.
