Chapter 538 The tit-for-tat man
Seeing Su Nuan staring at him, the spatial spirit shrank his neck guiltily and muttered softly, "Isn't this how it's done in history?"
Su Nuan sighed, a hint of blame in her tone: "Benefits gained through oppression and slavery will sow the seeds of hatred. What we need are not slaves, but partners."
Su Nuan reached out and gently patted the space spirit's head, saying in a gentle tone, "Remember, our goal is to enable everyone to live a good life, not to climb up by stepping on others' shoulders."
"Of course, we must not show mercy to anyone who tries to trip us up and destroy our beautiful life."
The space spirit nodded without saying anything.
Su Nuan could tell that she was convinced on the surface, but she was still dissatisfied in her heart. After all, she was not a real human, and her living environment was different. So, just because the space spirit didn't put herself in her shoes didn't mean she was wrong.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan explained, "After interacting with the chief, I realized that gold, silver, and jewelry are useless to them. What the tribe needs most is food. Only by solving the food problem can we truly win their trust and support."
After hearing this, the Space Spirit nodded thoughtfully, "You're right, food is the foundation."
"However, we can't just ignore the treasure. Once things settle down here, we have to find a chance to explore it."
Su Nuan smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I know what's going on. The treasure won't run away, but the food can't wait."
She looked up at the sky. The light of dawn was growing brighter and brighter. "Let's go. A new day has begun. We still have a lot to do."
As Su Nuan walked to the campfire, she suddenly felt the sky, which had been bright, darken.
She looked up and saw Ling Yun and Li Fengxing falling from the sky.
Li Fengxing controlled Xiaoshuang and landed steadily next to Su Nuan.
As soon as Xiaoshuang saw her mother Feixue, she immediately spread her wings happily and ran over excitedly.
However, Feixue looked disgusted and slapped Xiaoshuang to the ground without any hesitation.
Su Nuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and secretly wondered in her heart, why did Feixue always dislike its five children so much?
It was obvious that it had tried its best to feed itself to them as food.
Li Fengxing smiled when he saw Su Nuan. "I heard you were going to negotiate with the tribe. How could you leave me out of this matter?"
Su Nuan was a little worried, frowning slightly, "Why are you here? The people in the tribe are simple-minded, I can handle it."
"As for the Bai family in Luancheng, if they send someone over, who will negotiate business with them if you're not here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fengxing's smile froze, and he immediately revealed an aggrieved expression, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, "Are you going to kick me out?"
Seeing him like this, Su Nuan's heart softened, and she quickly waved her hands to explain: "No, no, I mean, you are very important, and the North needs you even more."
After a pause, she added, "I don't intend to exploit the tribe either. I just want to treat them fairly during negotiations."
However, after hearing this, Li Fengxing's expression became even uglier.
He snorted coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction, "So what you mean is that I'm a mean person, petty and exploiting people everywhere?"
Su Nuan was choked by his words. Although she felt that he was right, she absolutely could not show it on her face.
She laughed dryly, trying to lighten the mood. "How could that be? You're our great hero. I just think the North needs you more."
At this moment, Ling Yun walked over coldly, staring at Li Fengxing with eyes as sharp as knives. Why can he make Su Nuan speak in a humble manner, but I can't even get a good face from her?
Su Nuan was startled by Ling Yun's cold aura. She turned to look at him, only to see that Ling Yun's face was gloomy and there was a hint of anger burning in his eyes.
She felt helpless and sighed secretly. Why are these two people more difficult to deal with than the other?
She was about to open her mouth to explain, but Li Fengxing took the lead and said with a provocative smile: "What? Are you jealous? It's a pity that some people are born unpleasant."
Ling Yun's eyes instantly became extremely cold, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
Seeing this, Su Nuan quickly stood between the two of them, with a hint of annoyance in her tone, "Enough! Now is not the time to quarrel, we still have business to attend to."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feixue suddenly let out a low hum, as if agreeing with her meaning.
Su Nuan took the opportunity to change the subject and pointed at Feixue and Xiaoshuang: "Look, Feixue is getting impatient. Let's get down to business."
Li Fengxing and Ling Yun looked at each other. Although there was still hostility in their eyes, they tacitly agreed not to speak.
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that the storm had finally been temporarily calmed down.
She took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fragrance of soil and grass, but it made her inexplicably miss the troubled days in the past.
At that time, who had the energy to get angry? Everyone was busy trying to survive, busy searching for a glimmer of hope in the midst of the storm.
Now, although the situation is still complicated, at least there is a chance to breathe, which gives people the time to care about those trivial emotions.
She shook her head helplessly, turned to Ling Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, I'll have your men divide into 50 people to investigate the situation of the nobles of Luosha Country. Once you understand their interests, let them sow discord."
Li Fengxing's eyes lit up as he couldn't help but praise, "What a brilliant move! Those nobles are already scheming against each other. If we add fuel to the fire, they will definitely not pay attention to the movements of these small tribes."
Ling Yun was not to be outdone and immediately said, "Well, then the news of us growing food won't reach the nobles so quickly."
"By the time they realized what was happening, we had already finished harvesting and fled with the food."
Su Nuan nodded. They were all very smart and immediately understood his intention. "That's right, time is our advantage. As long as we seize these three months, the situation in the north will be completely stabilized."
She paused, her eyes sweeping over the two of them, her tone carrying a hint of warning, "However, this matter must be done quickly. The sooner we get there, the better our chances of success."
Ling Yun and Li Fengxing nodded at the same time, their expressions becoming serious.
Li Fengxing patted his chest and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm the best at negotiating with people, I guarantee nothing will go wrong."
Ling Yun glanced at him coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "My people are not bad either, there is no need for you to worry about them."
Seeing that the two were about to bicker again, Su Nuan quickly raised her hand to stop them: "Alright, alright, now is not the time to argue about this."
At this time, the chief came out of the stilt house and said slowly, "Shouldn't you talk to me first?"
