The Old Fox Is a Great Teammate

Wu Chu smiled and shook his head, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I was just asking casually. However, I do have another question in my Dao Heart: now that the Three Clans are all rapidly developing their own power, what will happen to everyone after Ten Thousand Clans have been divided up?"

Feng Wu frowned, seemingly unconvinced, "The vastness of the Primordial World..."

"Yes! The Primordial World is vast!" Wu Chu sighed, shaking his head. "So vast that we all feel it's enough for everyone to cause trouble. Even if there are unpleasantness or friction between the Three Clans in the future, we can discuss and resolve them. Perhaps the day I mentioned before is still too far away, or perhaps that day will never come, after all, the Three Clans are developing in different directions, right!"

Wu Chu finished saying what Feng Wu wanted to say, which made Feng Wu feel a little uncomfortable. He felt that this guy seemed to have seen through him. Those bright black eyes suddenly made him feel a little scared. He thought to himself that this guy's intelligence might not be inferior to that of the Fox Clan.

He glanced at the old fox Qingqiu Chen, seemingly wanting Qingqiu Fox to converse with a wise man like Wu Chu. He was skilled in magical combat, but not in verbal sparring...

Qingqiu Chen had actually consulted Wu Chu about this issue long ago, and Wu Chu had also shared his predictions about the future of the Three Clans with him. That's why Wu Chu suggested that the Qingqiu Fox Clan split into three, rather than putting all their eggs in one basket.

Although the Fox Clan is naturally Beast Clan, their wisdom is still coveted by the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan. Therefore, the Three Clans cannot restrict their races so rigidly.

Moreover, birds and beasts cannot completely live in isolation. Their living spaces overlap. It's unrealistic to expect all birds to migrate south and all beasts to Mount Buzhou. No one would abandon their own Daoist Temple simply because they join another clan. Even Tianmu Daoist couldn't completely abandon Tianmu Mountain, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan couldn't abandon Qingqiu.

Qingqiu Chen looked at Wu Chu with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, we have actually already made some deductions about your concerns and have considered some countermeasures..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wu glanced at Qingqiu Chen and thought that the old man was indeed a cunning old fox, spouting such nonsense that even he himself didn't know.

They never considered any deductions or devised any contingency plans.

However, Feng Wu was not so naive as to expose Qingqiu Chen's mistake at this moment. He even cleverly nodded slightly to indicate that he was right.

Wu Chu was also cursing Qingqiu Chen in his heart for using his old words to shut him up, but Wu Chu could understand Qingqiu Chen's intentions to some extent.

He then said, "Oh," and added, "This humble Daoist would like to hear the details."

Qingqiu Chen, without batting an eye, repeated to Wu Chu what Wu Chu had told him before, "Fellow Daoist, is this what you meant? Actually, Fellow Daoist Feng's thoughts are not without merit. The Primordial Land is indeed too vast, and who knows how long it will be before the day you mentioned! It's too early to think about those things now. Of course, now that we know about this issue, we naturally won't do nothing..."

Feng Wu, who had been listening nearby, had long since come to regard the old fox as a celestial fox.

Of course, the old fox's bloodline is indeed that of a celestial fox. After all, he is the Seventeen son of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and the purity of his bloodline is naturally incomparable to that of his other fox grandchildren.

The old fox's words were cleverly clever in that he praised his superior, Feng Wu, which further improved Feng Wu's impression of him.

"Fellow Daoist's thoughts are far more profound than mine!" Wu Chu stood up and formally bowed to the old fox. "With my old friend here, I have even less reason to leave the mountain."

As Wu Chu spoke, he silently gave the old fox a thumbs-up in his heart.

Given that Qingqiu Chen was willing to give Wu Chu an Illusion-Breaking Bell as a gift based on his own imagined understanding, it's clear that this old fox isn't one to easily take advantage of him. The only explanation for doing this is that he's making excuses for Wu Chu while simultaneously elevating himself.

The old fox truly lives up to his reputation!

But Feng Wu said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such modesty. You two are both wise men, with equal talent and intelligence. You can certainly work together! Our clan leads the Beast Clan, and in the future, our forces will be as numerous as grains of sand. With your wisdom, Fellow Daoist, you will certainly have no shortage of opportunities to use your abilities..."

Wu Chu raised his wine cup to the two men and said, "I Dao Heart. However, I have no intention of leaving the mountain for the time being, and the flowers in this valley are about to Transformation Form, requiring my careful care. I can only apologize for not being able to fulfill your request. If I do decide to leave the mountain in the future, I will certainly make a trip to Qilin Cliffs. I hope you will understand."

Having said all that, Feng Wu didn't know how to persuade him anymore, so he looked at Qingqiu Chen Qingqiu Chen, who subtly shook his head at Feng Wu.

Upon seeing this, Feng Wu couldn't help but sigh softly, "Since you say so, fellow Daoist, then I will not insist any further. I only hope that one day, when you are willing to leave the mountain, you will be sure to visit our clan's Qilin Cliffs. Our clan looks forward to your visit."

"Sure, sure! Come on, let's drink, let's drink..."

Wu Chu chuckled and secretly gave Qingqiu Chen an approving look.

He originally thought that Qingqiu Chen and this Qilin Clan expert had come together and that the two of them would work together to find a way to get him to come out of the mountains and help. He never expected that it would turn out that he and this old fox would work together.

It must be said, the old fox is indeed a good teammate.

After the three of them had a drink, Feng Wu got up to say goodbye, saying that they had other things to do, probably to persuade other tribes!

Wu Chu wanted to thank the old fox privately for his perfect cooperation, but he didn't expect them to come and go in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to exchange a few words.

Even the Little Fox didn't have a chance to say more than a few words to the old fox.

The old fox seemed unwilling for Feng Wu to know about his relationship with the Little Fox. Even though the Little Fox acted very affectionately towards the old fox, she never called him grandfather.

Wu Chu guessed that the old fox must have given instructions to the Little Fox in secret.

Sure enough, after they left, Wu Chu asked the Little Fox, Little Fox nodded and said, "Grandfather secretly told me not to call him Grandfather, and I don't know why."

On the other side, as the old fox Feng Qilin were leaving Purple Jade Mountain, Feng Qilin asked, "Why did you stop me from continuing to persuade you, fellow Daoist?"

The old fox gave a wry smile. "Chief Feng should be able to see that Fellow Daoist has no intention of leaving the mountain at this moment. Continuing to persuade him will only make him resentful and damage our past relationship. Rather than that, it's better for us to back down first. Fellow Daoist is a man of deep feelings, and if I really have a request in the future, he won't easily refuse."

Feng Wu nodded thoughtfully, but then felt that something was not quite right, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
