Qing Yusi had been waiting in the Spirit Fox Tribe for Qing Neng, Qing Chao, and Qing Chong to return. When she saw that the people from the Spirit Fox Tribe had come back safely, half the weight in her heart was lifted. She immediately brought the three elders into the meeting hall and slowly questioned them. "Three elders, you've worked hard this time! I wonder whether this journey... went smoothly?"
Qing Chao looked calmly at Qing Yusi, stroking the beard on his chin as he spoke in a composed, matter-of-fact tone. "Chief, what you said is somewhat disrespectful to our tribe's strength! With you holding down the Spirit Fox Tribe, no matter how presumptuous the Electric Python Tribe and Demon Rat Tribe might be, they still have to show you some respect!"
"Exactly! The moment we got there, Duo He and Bana Tu immediately caved in! The reason we were delayed so long was mainly because Ge Linna was so hospitable. She kept insisting on fulfilling her duties as a host, so we couldn't just brush our sleeves and leave! We could only stay and celebrate with her for a few days!" Qing Chong immediately chimed in, his face still carrying his usual arrogance.
Qing Yusi did not doubt them. She was quite easygoing around the three elders, so she directly voiced the concerns she had previously held. "Sigh... three elders, you know as well as I do that not long ago, our Spirit Fox Tribe suffered a crushing defeat. Our standing within the clan has fallen to rock bottom, and our deterrence is already far inferior to what it once was! Sending you three out was an act of helplessness on my part. Now that I see you have returned, I am greatly relieved!"
"Chief, that isn't right!
