"If your Sima Family is willing to offer adequate compensation, the Lu Family can accept negotiations and cease hostilities,"
Ling Zixiao's expression was cold and authoritative as she looked at Patriarch Sima inside the Talisman Formation, speaking indifferently.
She didn't directly kill him, not because she feared a scenario where both parties would suffer extensively.
Simply by having Lu Ping'an suppress Patriarch Sima in front of her, to establish authority and then question the Sima Family, was more in line with her family's interests.
The Lu Family Commerce Association is currently facing several issues in opening up the market.
With Lu Ping'an serving as a publicly known False Core-level deterrent, things would go much smoother.
Moreover, buying shops in the big Marketplace is very troublesome.
Because prime location shops are like cash cows, no one is willing to let them go.
If one could go through the Sima Family, it would be much simpler.
