Feng Mengyue was very smart.
She used the villagers' unwillingness to leave as an excuse to refuse the proposal.
With her answer, Su Mo had no reason to question her further, so he leaned back and relaxed in his chair.
This was a rejection.
At the same time, it was not a complete rejection.
'Feng Mengyue sure is ambitious and doesn't want to subservient to another person, including me. Those under her would never leave her behind if she was unwilling to leave,' Su Mo thought to himself.
Not everyone was willing to join another person's territory.
In Mountain Moon Village, Feng Mengyue and the other three had supreme adjudication power and were given full authority to handle all matters.
They were basically all-ruling emperors in the village.
Surely, Su Mo believed that the reason they wanted to stay was not that they were greedy for power.
