The matter of the Outer Realm Demons needed to be resolved, but it wasn't urgent. Everything depended on Wen Yang's attitude. Following the incident, Wang Ping immediately used their group's secret code to send a letter through their designated channels.
After that, Wang Ping stood guard by the pagoda tree, awaiting Yu Lian's promotion.
Half a month went by in a blur. He first received a letter from Xia Yao of Lishui Prefecture. As Wang Ping expected, Xia Yao readily agreed to the proposed trade and stated that she would gather the necessary items within six months.
Wang Ping gazed at the slumbering Yu Lian in the pagoda tree. After a moment of thought, he wrote separate letters to Guangxuan, Yang Tian, and Xia Yao, setting the trading location at Sanhe Temple. He gave Guangxuan full authority to handle the matter and also had Wang Li send someone to witness and record the event.
Xia Yao's reply arrived twenty days later.
