Law Of Creation

Chapter 87 - Failed Negotiation, Coercion and Bluffing (Part 2)

Silence filled the hut as Liao An and the two elderly tried to digest the information they heard from Mingyue. No one took the initiative to ask anything, but clearly the two elderly didn't care about what Mingyue just said. While the handicapped elderly gazed at Mingyue with blatant hostility, the white beard elderly

After some time passed by, Liao An took the initiation to open his mouth, "Then, the reason why did you ask us to fall back is?"

"There are a few things which are included in the classified information, but I will try to divulge most of the unclassified one." Mingyue shook her head in her mind.

[He is too passive. Even if he is the tribe's leader, how can he be controlled by the two dying man behind? Or. . .]

"What you mean by classified information! Are you trying to cover something!" The handicapped elderly became hostile with his word, while the white beard elderly had an annoyed expression.

Knitting her eyebrow, MIngyue casually answered without any change in her expression. "I said classified information because it is classified information. Before this, I explained the things about miasma and the living dead. Do you even try to consider what I just said? That is the information that I can share with all of you, and what I received from both of you is only contempt."

"Of course! No one would believe a fantasy story like that! Who are you trying to trick !!!" The other elderly had a more explosive temperament.

Mingyue didn't reply to the both of the elderly as she shot her gaze toward Liao An. But unfortunately, he didn't say anything as if he was in the same opinion with the pair of elderly.

[Sigh. The worst case of scenario.]

Shaking her head, Mingyue said her piece to Liao An as she closed her eyes. "The core to defeat an army is to kill their general. And the core to defeat a kingdom is to kill their king."

"Even if the living dead are only a mere corpse, there is the source of the miasma in the other side of the crack. If you continued your assault, you will only become another living dead. Maybe a corroded being if you are lucky."

Mingyue had no interest to give any support for the Wind Chasing Tribe because from the start, they were only asking the reason why did she stop them.

And the worst case in Mingyue's mind happened.

"Indeed your call has saved all of us. But what will happen in the next six years? The next six years after that? We are protecting our descendant! We cannot possibly be a scaredy-cat! We must not! In order to protect a mere few years left to live, we are falling back. It is impossible for us to do that!" Liao An made his stance as he told the reason of his refusal to Mingyue, along with the regret he had.

He regretted that he followed the little goddess's order to fall back!

If only they were not falling back, if only he braced himself and continue the assault! It was possible that they could destroy the source of the being from the other side! They could destroy the source of the problem!

Alas! There was no medicine for regret.

He closed his eyes and he continued, "If there is the source of that being from the other side, we will have to destroy it. Sooner or later, it has to be done. No matter what happened. It is for the future."

Mingyue was already fed-up with all stupid things which were said by Liao An. She thought that the capability to cleanse the corroded patient would become her credibility, her proof. But unfortunately, they only took her as a convenient tool.

Even though Mingyue herself was not a part of the tribe.

[. . . It is not worth it.] Mingyue could only shake her head in his mind. She had disappointment pasted on her face, but she concealed it perfectly as no one realized it. Of course, with the exception of Xiao Jing.

"Okay, I am not forcing any of you to believe me. Move to the next topic. About the corroded patient."

When Mingyue began this topic, Liao An and the two elderly's eyes brightened and their gaze was concentrated on her.

There were greed and possessiveness flashed through their eyes. It was only a split second, but who could hide from her sharp vision?

It was uncomfortable, but it proved the previous conjecture in Mingyue's mind.

[Sigh. Really. They are only aiming for this crap. Hahaha, really unsightly.] Even though Mingyue had felt bitter inside, she could only move on.

"As what I have said a few days ago, I am limited in my strength. To cure all corroded patient, I will have to invest a lot of time and strength. Inefficient. Therefore, I will teach your tribesmen so they will be the one to cure the wounded. That way, it will be convenient for me and you."

Not waiting for them to say anything, Mingyue added, "In exchange for that, I will ask for the permission to live in this place for a few years."

This time, a black line appeared on the handicapped elderly as deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead. The white beard elderly had the unpleased expression. It could be said the pair of elderly had the same thinking.

". . . Please define for how long." Liao An didn't immediately answer, but the expression of the two elderly grew uglier.

"You don't think that I will share my skill freely, right?" Mingyue sneered as her gaze was directed toward the two elderly. It was the first time Mingyue felt disgusted when she saw the hypocrisy of the people in front of her.

She had no qualm of sharing her knowledge, her skill, but it was not for free obviously.

Mingyue understood if she didn't take a strong stance, she would be manipulated by the person in front of her. There was a possibility that the two elderly behind the tribe's leader was specialized in coercing people.

But no matter what, she was not a weakling like a year ago.

She didn't wish to compromise, and these kinds of people were included in her blacklist.

Each of them had their own plan about her, they were greedy, but they never took her opinion at all. Even worse, they didn't even try to discuss the term but would rather played some trick.

"YOU IMBECILE! We have been so hospitable to you when you are such an ungrateful little kid!" The handicapped elderly flipped the table between them and Mingyue, while the white beard elderly narrowed his eyes.

A dangerous scent could be smelled as the gunpowder was put between them.

"You are the reason we fall back from the frontline, from the other side of the crack. So teaching us to cure the corrosion is the right compensation." The white beard elderly didn't lessen his coercion as a killing intent arose inside him.

If the handicapped elderly was considered a frank person, then the white beard elderly was a cunning old man. If the thing didn't progress as what he wanted, he would use the coercion like what he did at the present time.

The white beard elderly's killing intent was heavy because he was one with the most experience of killing the being from the other side. Even though he had grown old enough, it didn't mean his killing intent was diminished by the time passed by.

[This talk will not go anywhere.] Mingyue felt a headache, but she must persist. She couldn't even back down, or else they would take her as their thing.

"Sigh. The sight of two elderly trying to extort a little kid is unsightly, isn't it?" Mingyue just smiled at Liao An without caring the two elderly behind him because she wished that Liao An could control the situation.

Mingyue was locked on by the pair of elderly as their killing intent didn't stop increasing.

Seeing the unmoved Liao An, Mingyue just refilled the emptied cup in front of her. She didn't bother with the other cup as she enjoyed a cup of tea. She blatantly ignored the coercion from the pair of senile old man.

Sipping a cup of warm tea, Mingyue asked Xiao Jing, "Xiao Jing, are you prepared?"
