"Furthermore, all the major powers around us—Nine Stars Square, Spirit Leaf Square, Giant Wood Square, Bo Yuan City, Bosen City, Li Huo City, and others—have expressed their willingness to lower the cargo tax rates for our Qingyuan Alliance. They've also offered a series of other benefits and are open to renegotiating our terms."
Liu Xun continued to deliver the good news. This was the chain reaction after Fang Qingyuan demonstrated his power. As long as you were strong enough, other factions would spontaneously show you goodwill without you even having to ask.
In truth, these negotiations should have started after Bear Wind's faction joined the Qingyuan Alliance. However, because Fang Qingyuan had challenged Chunyu Hua to a duel, everyone wanted to wait and see the outcome. If Fang Qingyuan had been defeated and killed, rushing to negotiate would have put them in an incredibly awkward position.
