C1168
All the Continental s were eagerly waiting for the results, among them, Hua Ruge. She was worried about Tuoba Rui's attitude during the negotiations, so she should not fight.
On the other hand, if he succeeded, what kind of agreement would he come to?
She had thought about it for many days. Once she reached such an agreement, no matter what, she would not be able to escape the Continental's pressure. The only way was to end the contract with the Eastern and Southern territories before anyone forced her.
She would be able to escape this calamity, but the road to wealth would also be blocked.
However, apart from this, she couldn't think of a better method.
On Tuoba Rui's side, he had stayed in the Western Sea for a few days already. The reason he dared to force his way through the negotiations was because he saw that the Sea Beasts of the Western Sea did not have any desire to fight.
Moreover, many would even express their disgust at this war because they felt that it was simply a meaningless battle. Other than sending millions of sea monsters to their deaths, there were no other benefits.
As for the Beast King's claim that he wanted to occupy the human continent, they didn't think much of it. They were sea beasts, so what did they want to occupy the land for?
The Sea Beasts' thinking was much simpler than humans, so Tuoba Rui took a look at the situation. When he heard that the western border had agreed to make peace, he knew that the humans behind them or the western border would have to hide.
Sure enough, his performance at the negotiating table showed that the sea beasts did not dare to take action. It seemed that he had decided to stop, so there was no need for him to be polite.
In the negotiations that followed, in order to help the sea beasts get down, he sent someone else to negotiate instead of going up on stage. In addition, he also agreed to give the pills to the sea beasts.
However, the quantity given was not a million, but a hundred thousand.
The sea beasts could not accept this, but they did not throw a tantrum either. They might think that the other party's temper was worse than theirs, so it was better for them to restrain themselves.
The negotiators continued to negotiate while Tuoba Rui stayed at the palace at the bottom of the sea.
"Senior brother, will the sea beasts agree to the price we have given?" The Fructus Spleenae Fructus asked.
Tuoba Rui was making tea.
"No, it's too little." Hearing this, he spoke indifferently.
"Then why are you being bitten to death?"
"To lower their expectations would also temper their arrogance."
Fructus Spleenae Fructus nodded: "Then what are senior brother's expectations?"
"Two hundred thousand." Tuoba Rui answered without thinking. It was obvious that he had a plan in his mind.
"If we can come to an agreement based on this number, we can do it."
Tuoba Rui poured the brewed tea into a cup and shook his head.
"Senior Brother, you mean you can't take it out?"
"I've calculated before, this is the annual production rate of pills from Fu Sang." Tuoba Rui slowly said.
Fructus Spleenae Fructus stared blankly for a moment, then sighed: "Senior Brother, how can we be so deceitful?"
Even after this battle, it would still take a few decades for Fu Sang to recover. Now that he had also left such a large debt, it would be even more difficult for Fu Sang to restore his former grandeur.
Tuoba Rui took a sip of tea from his teacup and replied with slightly closed eyes: "If I don't scam them, then someone will scam her."
He did not say anything during the negotiations. He did not care about what the terms were, nor did he have any feelings for helping the world. He had only muttered in his heart when he heard the conditions.
The current continent had just experienced war, and the number of pills had been greatly reduced. Those sects would definitely hold onto the pills in their hands and would not let them go, in the end they would definitely set their sights on Hua Ruge.
He thought about the consequences and knew it was a dead knot. Only then did he take the initiative to make the announcement, intending to minimize the compensation, to the extent that Fusang could bear it.2
Only then would Hua Ruge be safe from this crisis.
Not only that, he sometimes thought that this might just be a trap for Hua Ruge.
If that was the case, who would have such a great power and Hua Ruge would not be able to make it through?
There was only one answer that met the criteria.
When Fructus Spleenae Fructus was still wondering who the 'she' Tuoba Rui had mentioned before, Tuoba Rui said, "When the messenger went back, I told you to bring Master some news. Have you brought it yet?"
"He came over to reply that he had already reported it to my father." Fructus Spleenae Fructus asked again, "Senior brother, what news did you get him to pass on?"
"You don't need to know about this." Tuoba Rui replied indifferently.
When he had his suspicions, he would immediately send a message back to the Heaven Seeking Palace, asking Guang Xingzi to pay more attention to the movements of the people in the Pill Palace, and see if he could find any clues.
This matter was not small, and there was also a certain amount of danger. He couldn't allow people who weren't related to him to get involved.
Fructus Spleenae Fructus was dissatisfied: "You have the same attitude as my father."
Tuoba Rui ignored his retort and continued to drink her tea.
While the negotiations were still going on, Hua Ruge was still busy building her own academy. Although this mountain range wasn't very big, she wanted to build a grand palace with an aura similar to that of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace.
When the craftsmen heard this, they couldn't help smacking their lips. Wasn't this girl's ambition a little too big?
Other than being a supervisor, Hua Ruge spent the majority of his time heading towards Shangguan Li's direction. He wanted to know how the situation was going on in the western border.
Shangguan Li's Night Pavilion had developed rapidly with the infusion of Hua Ruge's countless spirit stones, but even so, she still did not have enough dark guards, so she could only send a majority of her troops to the western border.
However, they were still unable to detect the movements of those sects. After all, those sects were experts and it was not a one-day affair for them to infiltrate them.
The reason why Hua Ruge wanted to catch the perpetrator was because he was worried that he would not be able to preserve his Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce.
The other Continental s on the other hand, were not concerned about the compensation. They only thought about the news that Tuoba Rui could bring back peace.
A few days later, Tuoba Rui returned from the Western Sea and Ye Mo brought back the peace agreement with the Western Sea Beast King. Other than the fact that the western border was no longer in danger, the conditions were clearly stated: the compensation is two hundred thousand Earth Grade pills.
Although two hundred thousand pills was not a small number, it was not difficult to obtain.
However, Shi Xuejun and Shi Qingwan were very dissatisfied with this condition. If there were only two hundred thousand pills, Fu Sang would have been able to take it out himself. There was no reason for him to go to the mainland anymore.
When Shi Qingwan returned to her room, she was so angry that she could smash everything. Her plan was perfect, as long as she pushed the compensation onto Hua Ruge, she would not be able to stand up again.
But who would have thought that Tuoba Rui would make the compensation so low?
Are those Western Territories' sea beasts trash?
Shi Xuejun was also very disappointed, she thought that if Tuoba Rui didn't pay attention to the situation on the continent, he would most probably agree with a wave of his hand, she never thought that Tuoba Rui would actually take this matter seriously.
