6319 Who knows how long

However, Luan xiaoru was also very sure that as long as central cooperated with the spirit beast clan, Lin Yi would most likely choose the sea beast clan to help because there was no other choice!

The negotiations had basically reached a dead end. If they continued, they would probably really fall out.

Pinliang couldn’t interrupt, but he was worried that Lin Yi and xiaoru would really fall apart.

He had some level in the center, so he knew a bit about the high-end forces in the center of Sky Cla.s.s Island, like the man in the black bamboo hat from the South Island. He was a strong man, and if Lin Yi fell out with the center, it wouldn’t be hard for him to kill Lin Yi.

The spirit beast clan’s experts would still attract attention when they entered the major islands, but the people in the center were all humans. On the road, it was impossible to tell if the people pa.s.sing by were ordinary people or a.s.sa.s.sins from the center. Moreover, the man with the black bamboo hat was not the only powerful one.

On the other side, Kang Zhaoming was secretly pleased. He was hoping that Lin Yi and Luan xiaoru’s conversation would fall apart so that central could go all out against him.

He didn’t even consider the possibility of Lin Yi killing him to vent his anger after the negotiations fell through.

Pinliang finally broke the silence after a while.

“Um, Lin Yi, come and have a drink. It’s a negotiation, of course it has to be discussed. It’s only a negotiation when everyone’s going back and forth and discussing things. That was an ultimatum, don’t you think so?” Zhong pinliang poured Lin Yi a gla.s.s of red wine and gave him a look as he smiled and talked to Lin Yi.

At times like this, someone was needed to break the ice. Pinliang didn’t talk to Lin Yi about this beforehand, but he could tell that Lin Yi didn’t really want to fall out with central.

Lin Yi took the gla.s.s and swirled it a few times before smiling. “You’re right, miss Ling. I’ll take a step back first. I won’t charge you for the teleportation fee. I’ll let you use it for free. Is that okay?”

“Does our Center still need that little bit of spiritual Jade?” Luan xiaoru was almost amused by Lin Yi. After monopolizing the business for so long, the Central’s reserve of spiritual jades was already a huge number. If she could solve this problem with spiritual jades, she wouldn’t mind giving Lin Yi a mountain of spiritual jades.

“I’ve already made a concession. If miss Ling is still not satisfied, then it’ll be too difficult for me. Everyone should show some sincerity. I’m not the one begging your Center now!” Lin Yi’s face went cold. He could use Zhong pinliang’s face to give him a way out, but if Luan xiaoru didn’t appreciate it, then they’d just break up.

Luan xiaoru smiled slightly. She wasn’t angry with Lin Yi’s att.i.tude. Since he had made concessions, he would make more concessions. So, a negotiation that was haggling over every detail began.

In the end, Lin Yi didn’t give in too much-he still charged the teleportation fee, but the amount was a little lower. He also changed the rule to not allowing ma.s.s teleportation of items, only allowing one research sample at most.

It was originally a technology from the center. Research? Was there still a need for research? Luan xiaoru was also so angry that her chest hurt, but it was already good to have teleportation items and contact with the secular world. In the future, she would find an opportunity to find the location of the wormhole and s.n.a.t.c.h it again.

Out of such consideration, Luan xiaoru pinched her nose and accepted the armistice agreement. There was a long time in the future, and there would always be a chance to get back this face!

The man in the black bamboo hat, who was far away in the southern island, received the news of the truce agreement. Although he was a little surprised by the content, it was still within his expectations. However, he felt a headache when he thought about explaining this matter to the spirit beast clan.

He’d just suggested the plan of using a flying saucer for an expedition not long ago, and the situation had taken a turn for the worse-even the wormhole entrance he controlled was destroyed.

“I would like to see the Vermilion Bird elder.” Despite his headache, the man still had to find the Vermilion Bird and make things clear.

This was the Vermilion bird’s private residence. When there was nothing to do, the four elders would not stay in the palace all the time and would most likely return home.

“The elder has invited you!” The guard who went in to report quickly returned and politely extended his hand to invite the man in the black bamboo hat in.

It was not the first time the man with the black bamboo hat had been here, so he did not need anyone to lead the way. He walked to the Vermilion bird’s reception room with familiarity, and when he arrived, the Vermilion Bird was already sitting there waiting for him.

“What’s the matter today?” The Vermilion bird’s Crimson brows raised slightly as she looked at the man in the black bamboo hat with confusion.

Most of the things that needed to be discussed had already been discussed. If there were no special circ.u.mstances, he should not have come personally. Even a flying saucer ocean expedition couldn’t be carried out so quickly, right?

“Elder Vermilion Bird, there’s a change in the situation!” A wry smile appeared under the black bamboo hat’s veil. He did not stand on ceremony with the Vermilion Bird and found a chair to sit down on.

“What’s the change?” The Vermilion bird’s hand that was holding the cup of water paused for a moment. From the tone of the black bamboo hat man, it did not seem to be a good thing.

“The UFO project is going to be delayed. There are some problems with the important parts for a.s.sembling the UFO, and we won’t be able to supply them in a short time. So, the expedition plan has to be suspended.” The man with the black bamboo hat sighed softly, trying his best to lower the severity of the matter.

“How long is the break?” The foreboding in the Vermilion bird’s heart grew stronger and stronger. This plan could not be carried out immediately, and now it was being suspended. Could it be suspended indefinitely?

The man with the Black Hat was in a difficult position as well-he couldn’t tell the Vermilion Bird about the truce agreement with Lin Yi, or he’d be going against the spirit beast clan.

“It’s hard to say now. Maybe one or two years, maybe three or five years. Actually, this is good. It will allow us to make more preparations.” The man didn’t know when he’d fall out with Lin Yi-if he couldn’t get the right to use the wormhole, the flying saucer plan would have to be put on hold indefinitely.

“One or two years won’t affect our plan, but three or five years is too long. We still have to make preparations. Even without the UFO, we still have to find another way to carry out our plan.” The Vermilion Bird frowned slightly. Although she was displeased, she could only accept this.

“Of course, if we can find another way, we can continue with our plan!” The man in the black bamboo hat secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but then he felt a little awkward.

If they really found another way and the spirit beasts went on an expedition across the sea, would the central government really go to war with the spirit beasts to protect the major islands?

Luan xiaoru’s worst case scenario was to directly fall out with the spirit beast clan and break the Alliance, but the man with the black bamboo hat felt that it was still possible to fight for it. He didn’t want the relations.h.i.+p with the spirit beast clan to drop to a freezing point. When they could deal with Lin Yi in the future, they could still continue to cooperate.
