"It is because of the Rhinoceros Beast?" Ji Fengyan asked suddenly.
Duanmu Hongru's expression changed to one of complete shock. He stared at Ji Fengyan in disbelief. Clearly, he had not expected Ji Fengyan to bring up the Rhinoceros Beast.
Ji Fengyan continued. "You don't want the ores or the herbs in the Forest of Freedom. In that case, you must insist on the living creatures within it. Previously, you and Zhai Xing Lou started a war because of the Rhinoceros Beast. Now it is also because of the Rhinoceros Beast that you are unwilling to abandon your rights to the Forest of Freedom."
Ji Fengyan was not asking a question, but was sure of herself.
Duanmu Hongru opened his mouth, as if he wanted to conceal something. But when he met Ji Fengyan's eyes, he understood that Ji Fengyan already knew the answer in her heart. No matter how he tried to conceal it, it would be futile.
