The Tribulation Stage Tree Demon said, "Stop arguing for now. What exactly happened? Speak one at a time."
The Tribulation Stage Vine Demon said, "The clear remain clear, the muddy remain muddy. Teng Rong, truth cannot be made false, nor falsehood made true. What are you so anxious about?"
The Tribulation Stage Flower Demon also said, "What exactly happened? Explain it clearly. We will not let the murderer go, but neither will we wrong an innocent person."
The Tribulation Stage Grass Demon said, "Indeed. We will always be able to distinguish truth from falsehood."
The Tribulation Stage Tree Demon said to the Flower Demon, "You speak first."
The Flower Demon said, "Just now, Brother Rong asked Brother Che and me to discuss a matter with him."
The Tribulation Stage Tree Demon asked, "What matter?"
The Flower Demon hesitated slightly. Teng Rong said, "You can't even make your lie hold together."
The Flower Demon said angrily, "Fine, I'll say it. What's so great about it? Brother Rong came here with Teng Rong this time and learned that the Vine Clan intended to exchange for twenty-two drops of Spirit-Nourishing Water. He tried hard to persuade Teng Rong otherwise along the way, but to no avail. So he asked the two of us to discuss whether we could persuade Teng Rong to reduce the amount of Spirit-Nourishing Water he wished to trade for."
Teng Rong froze. He had never expected it to be this matter. Though it was not a major affair, bringing it up before everyone would make things difficult when dealing with the Wanjia Commercial Alliance afterward.
The Grass Demon surnamed Che echoed, "That's right. That was the matter."
The Flower Demon continued, "The three of us had already reached an agreement, so Brother Rong went to invite Teng Rong over.
