"Envoy Xu Shouming's more than fifty men were turned into skeletons by the Inner State people, is this considered a misunderstanding?"
"This..." Shen Jingye pondered his words, "This should be the tragic outcome of a misunderstanding."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "The Inner State doesn't think so. They're preparing for war."
Shen Jingye was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Qi and said, "We don't want to see war. What we need is peace; the reason we set up the Balancer was to resolve misunderstandings between both sides."
Li Banfeng nodded, "I've been trying to resolve it. I also don't want to see war. These days, I've spent a lot of time and effort attempting to clear up the misunderstandings between you all. The Inner State has agreed not to escalate the situation, but they've also presented their conditions."
"What conditions?" Shen Jingye couldn't imagine that the Soda Kiln incident could achieve such progress.
