Chapter 423 Trading
Jiao Wushang could see that Long Li was unhappy, but he had nothing to say now.
After all, Jiao Wushang knew very well what kind of person his father was.
Interests, exploration, and doubt are what a patriarch needs to weigh.
"Since Miss Long said so, this clan leader will gladly accept it. After all, the mermaid pearl is also a rare treasure."
Long Li found it funny what the mermaid leader said, meaning that they had swapped places.
Well, in that case no one will take advantage of anyone.
"What the clan leader said is very true. It is good not to owe each other anything."
"Miss Long wants to go to the Sea Dragon Tribe. I can help you, but the Sea Tribe does not allow humans to enter. This time, my mermaid tribe has violated the rules. I believe Miss Long understands the interests involved."
"If the clan leader helps me, you mermaids will naturally benefit as well. Although humans are different from you sea people, we humans know how to repay kindness."
There was a smile in Long Li's eyes. If you want something beneficial, just say it directly. Why go through all these roundabout ways?
If she was more honest and talked directly about interests, she might even look up to the clan leader. Now the clan leader was really a man of both power and position.
Hearing this, the clan leader’s face turned red.
What a human woman! She actually dared to secretly say that the mermaids were ungrateful. Smart humans are really cunning.
"Father, didn't you agree to help Miss Long? Why is this happening?"
Jiao Wushang stood up, his eyes tinged with anger.
"Father only said to ask Miss Long to come and discuss the matter. Besides, the mermaid pearl has already been given to her. This gift is a way of repaying her for saving my life. You don't need to say anything more about this matter."
The clan leader's tone was slightly cold. His son was just too naive and it was obvious at first glance that this woman was not a good person.
"Father........."
Jiao Wushang's eyes were full of disappointment. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"As the leader of a clan, there are some things that need to be considered. You are too young to understand the interests involved."
The clan leader doted on Jiao Wushang very much. Looking at his son's eyes full of disappointment in him, he felt very uncomfortable at that moment.
However, he would not compromise on interests. He casually took out three spiritual fruits. He must be the best among humans. He could help, but he needed the same exchange of interests.
Hearing this, Jiao Wushang looked at Long Li with an apologetic look on his face, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Miss Long, I'm useless."
"Young Master Wushang, there is no need to do this. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Long Li did not blame Jiao Wushang at all. After all, he had no say over the mermaid tribe.
"Miss Long, you should know that our mermaid tribe is not good at fighting. It is very dangerous to go to the Sea Dragon Tribe this time. This tribe leader has to consider the future of the mermaid tribe."
The mermaid leader looked like he really wanted to help, but was afraid of implicating his fellow tribesmen.
Long Li saw it and suddenly smiled coldly.
"In fact, the clan leader can just say what he wants. Isn't it better for us to be sincere? After all, your son was sent back by me. Based on this fact, the clan leader shouldn't be testing you everywhere."
As soon as these words were spoken, a look of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the mermaid leader.
"Miss Long is really straightforward. It is true that Shang'er was saved by Miss Long.
But as a reward, we have already given you the Mermaid Pearl. Could it be that Miss Long wants to blackmail En and force Shang'er to go to the Sea Dragon Clan to die?"
The mermaid chief spoke in a slightly cold tone.
"The clan leader should be careful with his words.
I have never said this. Don't talk about giving mermaid pearls. I also gave the clan leader three spiritual fruits.
Don't be so harsh and mean, as if you are always right. I won't fall for your words."
At this moment, Long Li was also angry. She didn't say anything about asking for repayment, but the clan leader was getting too much.
If you don't want to help, just say so. If you want benefits, just tell me. This look is really disgusting.
Jiao Wushang stood up and said, "Father, Miss Long is not that kind of person."
"Shang'er, don't you know how dangerous the sea dragons are? If they knew we were bringing humans with us, our mermaid clan might be wiped out. Do you want us to die for this woman?"
The clan leader's face was gloomy, and he no longer looked like a kind father. He even overwhelmed Jiao Wushang with his aura.
"Father, that's not what I meant."
Jiao Wushang’s face turned pale.
Seeing this, Long Li sighed slightly. She understood everything the clan leader said, but she could not accept this approach.
Saving Jiao Wushang's life was a fact, and she didn't want any reward.
But at least everyone should be sincere. If you don't want to help, you can just refuse directly. It's not necessary to ask her to come over with a sarcastic look.
"Alright, stop arguing. If the clan leader doesn't want to help me, please leave now." Long Li stood up. "If Wushang has the chance to come to the mainland, I will definitely do my best to be a good host."
"Miss Long, I will go with you."
Jiao Wushang also stood up, his expression complicated and somewhat resolute.
"This clan leader didn't say he wouldn't help, it's just that this matter is a little difficult."
At this time, the leader of the mermaid tribe spoke up, after all, he didn't want the father and son to be separated.
In fact, the most important thing is profit. He just wants to get more benefits.
"Why don't we just talk about the conditions directly? I'm sure the clan leader has something he wants in mind." Long Li's eyebrows were slightly cold. "Any conditions you put forward, accept them if they work, otherwise both of you will be fine."
Hearing this, surprise flashed across the shrewd eyes of the mermaid leader.
Unexpectedly, his thoughts could be seen so clearly. This was a good thing, as it saved him from wasting words.
"It's not impossible to help Miss Long go to the Sea Dragon Clan, but this clan leader wants ten spiritual fruits and five sixth-grade medicinal pills as a reward. If you don't have the medicinal pills, you can take more spiritual fruits."
Jiao Wushang's face turned red instantly. He was embarrassed by his old father and even too embarrassed to face Long Li.
Father, why is it so excessive?
Jiao Wushang lowered his eyes and dared not look at Long Li. He felt extremely ashamed at the moment.
Long Li suddenly laughed and sat back in his chair.
How great is this, why bother with all that scheming?
She did not answer in a hurry, but tapped the table with her fingers intentionally or unintentionally, looking a little embarrassed.
The leader of the mermaid tribe thought that Long Li didn't do it, but he didn't say anything and waited for the final result.
He needed spiritual fruits, but helping Long Li was indeed too risky.
Jiao Wushang sat on the chair with an expressionless face and his head down, wondering what he was thinking?
"Shang'er, you have to understand your father. When you take this position, you will make the same choice."
Seeing Jiao Wushang looking like he had lost all hope in life, the mermaid leader felt a little distressed.
"I don't understand. I don't understand how this makes me feel."
Jiao Wushang's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with apology towards Long Li.
"Hey!"
The leader of the mermaid tribe sighed and said, "You will understand later."
"I agree to this deal. These are five spiritual fruits. When we reach the Sea Dragon Clan, I will give the rest to Wushang."
Long Li saw that the time was about right, so he waved his hand and five spiritual fruits fell in front of the mermaid leader.
"Okay, this time, I will do my best to help Miss Long."
The mermaid leader put away the spiritual fruit with a smile on his face. He thought that Long Li could not take out so many.
