What are you arguing about?

Wu Er began questioning the people and demons involved in the conflict.

To better resolve conflicts, it is essential to understand the cause of the conflict. The most direct way to find out the cause of the conflict is to ask directly.

It's rather hot and humid in Pengshan today, especially after this incident.

There were no dark clouds in the sky, but the cumulus clouds overhead were very thick, and the heavy clouds often made the ground very hot and humid.

The surrounding area was indeed sultry and hot. The grass was dry, and the branches of the trees drooped listlessly.

Even the heads of these humans and demons were covered in sweat.

Sure enough, it's still too hot today.

But Wu Er's gaze was even more intense, especially when he stared at people.

The people and demons being stared at felt heat not only in their bodies but also in their hearts, as if their entire bodies were being roasted on a fire from the inside out.

That look was dangerous and terrifying.

In fact, Wu Er didn't want to show such an expression, but if he didn't, no one would listen to him.

During these days, he realized one thing: as a superior who reconciles everything, he must maintain his dignity.

A person must have authority to inspire fear, and it is fear that inspires respect.

Only by fulfilling all of the above can a fair judgment be made.

Under Wu Er's burning gaze, neither the demons nor the humans dared to utter a sound.

"Don't be afraid of me. Just tell me what you're arguing about, and I'll try my best to help you resolve it."

At this point, Wu Er softened his voice and his eyes were no longer as sharp as before.

First, give them a hard time, then show them some kindness.

This trick never fails.

Sure enough, under Wu Er's offensive, both humans and demons stopped fighting and relaxed on the spot.

At this moment, Wu Er asked again in a low voice, "Who can come forward and say what you are arguing about?"

After being asked three times, someone finally answered Wu Er's question.

The person on the other end answered first.

After all, Wu Er is also a human, so he has reason to speak out against his fellow human beings.

"Senior, it's because of the spring water. Although the land here is fertile, there's only one flowing spring. The conflict arose because of this water."

One person said this.

This answer is objective enough; at least it doesn't deliberately smear the demon race.

Wu Er looked at the few demons who hadn't spoken and asked, "Is that so?"

The demons remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.

Are they arguing over water resources?

Although Pengshan has abundant vegetation, making it a beautiful and livable place.

However, since it was transformed from wasteland, there is very little flowing water on the surface.

It is a dry red soil desert with very little surface water.

Although the soil has become much more moist after Kunwu's transformation, allowing so many plants to grow, the water in this soil is not drinkable. Therefore, everyone has their eyes on this spring for survival.

It's quite a hassle.

As the number of disaster victims increases, so do the number of ordinary people without cultivation and minor demons with low cultivation, which in turn increases the need for water.

This single spring is far from enough.

Wu Er didn't think about helping these people and demons solve their problems first; instead, he thought about what would happen later.

Perhaps this is because they've been in a high position for so long that they think far ahead when considering problems.

Seeing that Wu Er was deep in thought, neither the humans nor the demons around him dared to disturb him, and waited silently on the side.

This is the accumulated majesty that makes the people and demons around him so obedient.

Only after Wu Er had finished considering the long-term issues did he remember to address the immediate problems.

Compared to long-term problems, solving the immediate problems is much simpler.

"This spring water should be shared; don't let one or a few people stand there and waste it."

After saying this, Wu Er said no more.

Because these words are enough; sometimes, if you talk too much, the meaning changes.

As a mediator, he must maintain absolute neutrality.

The so-called absolute neutrality means that the side cannot be absolutely white or absolutely black, because being too extreme often leads to disaster.

Moreover, among all the sentient beings in the world, which one can truly perceive being absolutely in black or white?

Anyway, Wu Er can't do it.

However, he was able to stand firmly between black and white.

After resolving this minor dispute, Wu Er flew into the sky.

He has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't have much free time to waste.

Wu Er, dressed in a white robe, flew into the sky.

The clouds in the sky had thickened a bit more. Although they hadn't turned into dark clouds, they had darkened the sky and blocked out much of the sunlight.

No, to be precise, this layer of cloud forms a filter.

This filter blocks out the sunlight.

In other words, it blocked some light, but also let some light out.

The light shone on Fei Shang Wu Er.

He was in the sky, dressed in a white robe.

When the remaining light shone on Wu Er, his white robe seemed to change color.

It's not absolutely white anymore, not that unobstructed white anymore.

The robe appeared to turn gray in the light.

This gray is very pure, truly somewhere between white and black, a gray that is neither too gray nor too white.

"Water source... water source."

After repeating these words twice, Wu Er, whose clothes were somewhat dusty, began searching within the territory of Pengshan.

There are two ways to solve the water problem.
