The atmosphere in the slave traders' camp turned deadly at Mr. Jing's words.
What she intended to do was not just to save lives, but to resolve the Dalu tribe's plight once and for all and put an end to the slave trade within the Silent Forest.

Capturing slaves was like mining for silver, with a low input cost and massive profits.
Such a lucratively profitable endeavor could not possibly be terminated upon mere command. A "mine" so profitable would certainly not be abandoned because of someone's words.
Su Lun was well aware that attempting to reason with these people would be futile.
Nor would the backers from the commerce guilds behind them ever agree to it.
The laws of Ruying supported the slave trade, a deep-rooted environmental problem that had persisted for centuries.
