If We Can't Reach an Agreement, We'll Have to Fight

Hu Jiu Jiu did not beat around the bush with Lin Qi.

It was something both sides already understood perfectly well.

The kind of thing both sides knew without saying.

While Hu Qi Qi was currently imprisoned in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall and being punished, the Lin Clan was in no hurry at all. They could afford to wait, and they had more than enough patience to wait until she spoke first.

But Hu Jiu Jiu could not afford to wait.

Those were all obvious facts.

Since she could neither keep pretending nor wait any longer, there was no need to test the waters. Every second she hesitated here meant another second of suffering for Hu Qi Qi. Besides, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan had already turned defeat into victory. As the current clan head of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, she had both the right and the ability to suppress every dissenting opinion within the clan. Even if the price was extremely high, she could represent the Nine-tailed Fox Clan and make this irrational decision. What was more, Lu Yuan, currently the Nine-tailed Fox Clan's strongest fighter, was half her disciple and strongly supported her. Together, the two of them could control any Public Opinion, inside or outside the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.

With that thought, Hu Jiu Jiu did not deliberate further.

Thinking meant hesitation.

So she laid everything out directly. "Hu Qi Qi is my elder sister, and we have always been close. Now that she has encountered such misfortune, I cannot stand by and do nothing. I also learned the full truth from the child Lin Yi. I am willing to compensate the Lin Clan for its losses at equivalent value in exchange for Hu Qi Qi's return to her clan. What does the Lin Family Head think?"
