It wasn't that the people of Qingshan Sect had no faith in Jiang Ning. If not for Jiang Ning, Qingshan Sect would have been wiped out by now. But an attempt to negotiate with the six major sects was as good as walking into the lion's den!
The six sects wanted much more than what Jiang Ning imagined, so how could they possibly agree to stop the fight?
Besides, the six sects were way more powerful together compared to Qingshan Sect. So there was no reason to give up fighting at all. How could Jiang Ning negotiate with them?
"Do we have anything to offer them?" asked Liu Chuandao.
The most important thing in a negotiation was to have a bargaining chip. But they didn't have anything to offer now, so what would Jiang Ning use to negotiate with them?
"No, we don't have anything," replied Jiang Ning honestly. "We now have two choices. Either we fight to the very end, or we
negotiate. It's better to stop fighting and try to solve the problem together instead."
The six sects were in the same situation.
Liu Chuandao frowned. This was a risky move.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say that this was impossible. He knew the people from the six sects and he knew how greedy and ambitious they were.
They would never agree to this.
If Jiang Ning went to negotiate with them, they might even think that Qingshan Sect was no longer able to fight and would attack them even harder this time round.
"Let's give it a shot then." The Senior Elder expressed his view before Liu Chuandao could say anything. "I think it's worth a try."
Liu Chuandao was stunned. The other elders were also surprised by this response.
They didn't expect the Senior Elder to
agree so readily without even asking Jiang Ning more questions.
"The feud between both sides will only deepen with a war. But to put aside the feud and think about the future is a very difficult thing to do as well."
The Senior Elder sighed. Of course he knew that putting aside hatred and anger to negotiate with the enemy was a very difficult thing to do in itself.
This required a lot of resilience, intelligence and foresight that surpassed everyone else.
