Leaving the tent.
Long Eying and Long Binglin did not leave immediately but spoke aloud in front of everyone with the burly mermaid.
The surrounding mermaids were astounded.
The burly mermaid's expression subtly changed.
A moment passed.
The dragon people returned and reported back.
"Feels like they're about to slip away."
Liang Qu had guessed right earlier; the one taking the initiative to negotiate was indeed the leader of the mermaid tribe, named Quan Linghan.
Inside the tent, faced with the recruitment of Long Eying and Long Binglin, Quan Linghan did not refuse outright, saying only that he needed a few days to consider and discuss with his people.
But given the nomadic nature of the mermaid tribe and Quan Linghan's micro-expressions just now, Liang Qu always felt it was an excuse, yet it was not appropriate to ask for details.
"Do you think Quan Linghan will agree?"
Long Binglin's face showed hesitation.
After a while.
"It's hard to say."
