If the Zhang brothers and sisters had honestly given the essence of the flames to Liu Wushang from the beginning, Liu Wushang would not have followed the two of them thousands of miles to the edge of Qingzhou City.
If there is a better solution, Liu Wushang is not willing to fight and kill.
Although the reputation of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect is not very good, not all cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect are born to be murderers.
Ling Xuewei simply brought Liu Wushang to where Qingcheng and several people were waiting.
Everyone watched Ling Xuewei running to face Liu Wushang alone, and they were all very worried about Ling Xuewei's safety.
The Zhang brothers and sisters even admired Ling Xuewei's courage.
When everyone saw Ling Xuewei leading Liu Wushang over, everyone was shocked. Zhang Yuanming spent a lot of effort to resist the strong urge to escape with Zhang Yuanrui.
"Xuewei..." Qingcheng was also scared and just wanted to hide.
She almost died at the hands of Liu Wushang last night. That horrific experience left a deep impression on Qingcheng.
"Don't be nervous, everyone, Senior Liu is very easy to talk to." Ling Xuewei quickly calmed everyone's emotions.
Liu Wushang had a dark face behind Ling Xuewei. Although he looked a little scary, everyone slowly felt relieved when they saw that Liu Wushang didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them.
Zhang Yuanming and Zhang Yuanrui still looked at Liu Wushang warily.
Liu Wushang looked at everyone who saw him, as if they were seeing the God of Plague, and his expression suddenly turned even worse.
"Senior Liu, please don't worry about it. Your aura is too strong, so we are a little uncomfortable with it." Ling Xuewei also did not forget to take care of Liu Wushang's emotions.
"Xuewei, what on earth is going on?" Qingcheng timidly hid behind Ling Xuewei.
The whole thing actually had nothing to do with Qingcheng, but Qingcheng could feel the tense and suffocating atmosphere among everyone.
"I called everyone together. Naturally, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Ling Xuewei didn't waste any more words and went straight to the topic. She first looked at the Zhang brothers and sisters.
"Mr. Zhang, you went to the lava cave for this piece of flame essence because of Miss Zhang's illness, right?"
Zhang Yuanming looked at Ling Xuewei in confusion. He didn't know what kind of medicine Ling Xuewei sold in her gourd, but the tension of life and death crisis had disappeared.
Zhang Yuanming could tell that Ling Xuewei had no intention of killing the two siblings, so he nodded very cooperatively.
"If I could find a way to replace this piece of flaming essence, which could help your sister alleviate her condition, would you be willing to give up this piece of flaming essence?" Ling Xuewei then asked, "You don't need to worry about this issue because of me or
Since Senior Liu is here, I force myself to give an answer that goes against my will."
"I know how precious this piece of flaming essence is, and I also know that even if I get the flaming essence now, I don't have any strength to keep him." Zhang Yuanming was very sober, "If it weren't for Rui'er's illness, I wouldn't be able to protect him."
I will never go to the lava cave and get mixed up in this muddy water. If Miss Ling, you really have a way to replace the essence of flames to alleviate Rui'er's condition, that would be great. I am willing to give up this essence of flames.
, now this piece of flaming essence is simply a trouble for us."
"Senior Liu, did you hear that?" Ling Xuewei smiled and said, "We are all very self-aware. If we don't have to, we will never compete with you for the treasure, Senior Liu."
"You guys are wise!" Liu Wushang's expression had softened a lot.
"Miss Ling, are we willing to hand over this piece of flaming essence to Senior Liu, so that we can be on the same page with Senior Liu from now on, and Senior Liu will never come to trouble us two again?" Zhang Yuanming looked at Ling Xuewei.
asked.
There is nothing unacceptable to him.
The moment he secretly put the Flame Essence into Qingcheng's baggage, Zhang Yuanming was already ready to give up the Flame Essence.
"It's not enough that you are willing to hand over this piece of flaming essence to Senior Liu." Ling Xuewei shook her head, "In the lava cave, everyone knew that Senior Liu never got this piece of flaming essence.
, you just gave it to Senior Liu, who knows whether the essence of the flames in Senior Liu’s hand was taken away from you, or whether you gave it to him willingly?"
"Miss Ling, what do you mean..."
Zhang Yuanming thought about it for a moment and realized that this seemingly subtle difference brought about two completely different results.
Zhang Yuanming said immediately.
"I understand. I will find a way to announce it to the world. I must say that we gave this piece of flame essence to Senior Liu on our own initiative."
Liu Wushang's eyes flashed with surprise. He seemed not to have expected that Zhang Yuanming would be so smart and be able to figure out the key to this right away.
"You need to announce it to the world, but this content does not mean that you voluntarily gave up the essence of flames to Senior Liu, but that you went to the lava cave to help Senior Liu snatch the essence of flames under the instruction of Senior Liu." Ling Xuewei.
Corrected Zhang Yuanming's statement, "Only in this way can all cultivators in the land of Middle-earth be speechless."
"This..." Zhang Yuanming hesitated.
The two brothers Zhang Yuanming and Zhang Yuanrui originally had nothing to do with any sect in Middle-earth, but if Ling Xuewei said this, wouldn't they become members of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?
Zhang Yuanming has always been very disdainful of the so-called decent families in Middle-earth, but he has never thought that one day he would associate with the Demon Cult.
However, Zhang Yuanming was just stunned for a moment, and he said immediately.
"No problem, I am willing to announce to the world that it was under the instruction of Senior Liu that I went to the lava cave to participate in the fight for the Flame Essence."
In fact, Zhang Yuanming had nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing. The lives of their two brothers and sisters were now in the hands of others.
So what if the Ten Thousand Demons Sect has a bad reputation?
If you can't even save your life, what's the use of fame?
What's more, Ling Xuewei said that she had a way to help Zhang Yuanrui alleviate his condition instead of the Flame Essence. From the day Zhang Yuanming got the Flame Essence, he was already prepared to be frightened. Now he has the best of both worlds.
For Zhang Yuanming, there is no problem at all even if he admits that he is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect that everyone shouts about.
"I can't tell, but you are quite aware of current affairs." Liu Wushang touched his chin. Zhang Yuanming's decisiveness made him like this young man even more.
"Miss Ling, I can agree to all your conditions, but the premise is that I must confirm that Rui'er's condition has stabilized. Before that, I will not do anything." Zhang Yuanming did not just let Ling Xuewei be at the mercy of him.
"I have no problem, as long as Senior Liu nods and agrees." Ling Xuewei shrugged.
"Boy, I just praised you, do you want to go further?" Liu Wushang's face immediately fell.
He didn't expect Zhang Yuanming to have the courage to bargain with him.
"Senior Liu, the lives of Rui'er and I are now in your hands. You can kill us two and take away this piece of flame essence at any time, but now I just need to make a statement in the land of Middle-earth,
In the future, you will be able to save yourself a lot of trouble, and even be able to turn your back on other prominent people. You won’t lose any money on this deal."
Zhang Yuanming discussed the terms with Liu Wushang.
It was a very simple thing for Liu Wushang to kill him, but if Liu Wushang did that, the entanglement from various forces that Liu Wushang would have to face would be tens of millions of times more troublesome than killing him.
Zhang Yuanming knew very well that he already had the capital to negotiate terms with Liu Wushang.
"Senior Liu, Rui'er and I have been struggling in the lava cave for more than half a year. For the sake of our hard work to obtain the essence of the flames, I only need to ensure that my sister's condition will not worsen.
A small request is not too much, right? And I promise you, regarding the issue of the ownership of this piece of flaming essence, I will definitely cooperate with Senior Liu fully, and no one will be able to grasp the slightest clue!"
"You are quite eloquent," Liu Wushang snorted coldly, but finally gave in, "I can agree to your terms."
This kind of negotiation is beneficial to everyone, but if the negotiation breaks down, all three will lose. Although Liu Wushang has an absolute advantage here, he still has to compromise.
Liu Wushang has already seen that Zhang Yuanming has done so many things for his sister. If Zhang Yuanrui's condition cannot be effectively controlled and his life is endangered, then everything Zhang Yuanming has done will no longer have any meaning.
Zhang Yuanming was not even afraid of death for Zhang Yuanrui. If Zhang Yuanrui really had a problem, Liu Wushang really had nothing to threaten Zhang Yuanming.
Isn't it a joke to threaten someone with death who is not afraid of death at all?
"It seems we have reached a consensus!" Ling Xuewei is very satisfied with the current result.
"Miss Ling, what are the methods you mentioned that can alleviate Rui'er's condition?" Zhang Yuanming asked anxiously.
"I think Miss Zhang's illness is caused by changes in the environment. If the weather gets cooler, she will feel cold all over her body. This piece of flame essence helps Miss Zhang resist the cold in her body through the heat it emits.
To slow down the cold that continues to invade Miss Zhang’s body.”
Ling Xuewei said to Zhang Yuanming.
"Mr. Zhang, I remember you said that Miss Zhang will get sick in all seasons except summer. If you and Miss Zhang settle in a place that only has summer, wouldn't this minimize Miss Zhang's chance of getting sick?
?Middle-earth is so big, and the climate in different places is very different, so there should be areas that are hot all year round, right?"
