Two Supreme-Grade Treasures, Third Uncle, Don't Hit My Face!

Qingqiu Chen knelt before Qingqiu Li. Qingqiu Li slightly raised her eyelids, glanced at him indifferently, her delicate brows furrowed, and said coldly, "Are you here to plead for them?"

"Chen dares not!" Qingqiu Chen bowed even lower and said, "Chen heard that the Ancestor was humiliated, so I came to apologize. Whether or not to start a war with the Sky Wolf Clan is just a matter of the Ancestor's word."

"It can't be that bad, it can't be that bad..."

The Little Qilin Feng Hen, who had been greeting everyone without saying a word, immediately exclaimed upon hearing this, "This was just a rash act by a reckless junior. Please, Sister Qingqiu and Sister Houtu, give Wudi a chance to repent..."

Although Feng Hen, as a junior, doesn't even have the right to speak here, his status is Taiyi since he is an envoy sent by the Qilin Royal Court.

At this moment, Wu Hong also took out the gifts prepared by their Sky Wolf Clan and said, "As elders of the Wudi, we have failed to teach him well, which is our fault. But considering that he is still young, we ask that you fellow Daoists give him a chance to correct his mistakes. These are some small gifts prepared by our clan for you fellow Daoists. They are just a token of our respect, please accept them."

The Sky Wolf Clan and the Qingqiu Fox Clan cannot afford to go to war; the Qilin Royal Court cannot afford such losses, a fact that Wu Hong clearly understands. However, he cannot act rashly here on Purple Jade Mountain, for if he does, he might not be able to leave Purple Jade Mountain today.

Wu Hong knew perfectly well that the other party just needed a way out; otherwise, they would have killed Wudi long ago instead of notifying them to come and claim the wolves.

Now that he's offered this way out, it's up to the other party to see if they're willing to take it.

Wu Chu glanced at the gifts the other party had given him. Besides some materials for refining magical artifacts, there were also two Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure, one Innate and one Acquired.

That Innate item was a golden steel whip, somewhat like a golden mace, containing traces of earth energy; it was clearly Innate Spirit Treasure of the earth element.

The other item Acquired was a black rod about two feet long. It looked ordinary on the surface, but it exuded the aura of Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure.

"Bai Ze, go and call Wudi over!"

Wu Chu's words brought a sigh of relief to everyone, especially Feng Hen.

As a lobbyist, the burden he carried was somewhat overwhelming, even though Wu Hong had told him the trip shouldn't be too difficult.

But Feng Hen knew that just because Wu Chu, this Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves, was easy to talk to, it didn't mean they were weak and easily bullied. If the negotiations broke down, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother, brother... let's go, you can go home now!"

Bai Ze ran up to Wudi, who was standing in a daze in a tree, and called out to him.

Wudi paused for a moment, then his figure flickered, transforming into a gentle breeze as he descended from the tree. "My father has arrived?" His words revealed a mixture of joy and trepidation.

Bai Ze shook his head, "Not your father, but your third uncle!"

Wudi was stunned for a moment, his expression desolate, "How... how could it be him!"

"What's wrong? Do you have a conflict with your third uncle?"

"There's no real conflict, but what he dislikes most about me in our tribe is my past behavior," Wudi said bitterly. "He used to reprimand me a lot in the tribe, and now..."

Now, let alone going back to get a scolding, as soon as he leaves Purple Jade Mountain, he could be caught and beaten by his third uncle at any time.

This gave him the feeling of having just left a hideous den only to enter Qiongqi abyss.

"You've changed now! Show him your new look, let him see how you've changed over the years, and I'm sure he'll be happy for you. Okay, stop dawdling, let's go!"

The wolf and the beast flew towards the Summit of the Sacred Tree. Bai Ze sighed softly, "This parting may be the last. Brother, when you travel in the future, be sure to keep your eyes open and don't accidentally offend anyone. Not everyone is like the Lord of Purple Jade, who doesn't kill easily."

Although he doesn't kill easily, he has plenty of ways to torture wolves!

Wolf Daoist silently grumbled to himself as he followed Bai Ze to the Summit of the Sacred Tree. He cautiously entered the Main Hall, glanced at Wu Hong, and then bowed respectfully, saying, "Wudi greets Third Uncle, Young Master Feng Hen, and all the seniors..."

Wu Hong glared at Wudi, then offered another apology.

Wu Chu released the seal from Wudi's body and returned the Spirit Treasure he had collected from him. Of course, he confiscated the black arrow.

Wudi glanced at Wu Chu, wanting to ask, "Aren't you going to return that Corroding Heart Arrow?"

But after thinking about it, he held back, deciding it was best not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

And so, Wudi was taken away by Wu Hong, while Feng Hen and Qingqiu Chen stayed behind.

Wu Chu saw them off from Purple Jade Mountain. Before parting, he said to Wudi, "I hope this incident will teach you a profound lesson, and that you will repent and start anew. That way, my efforts to spare your life will not have been in vain. The green hills remain, the clear waters flow on, until we meet again!"

Uncle Wu Hong and his nephew bid farewell to Wu Chu, then used their escape techniques to transform into rainbows and head west.

But not long after, Wudi's screams of agony echoed from afar, "Third Uncle, don't hit my face, don't hit me anymore... I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

Accompanying this was Wu Hong's furious roar, "You good-for-nothing! Who do you think you are? Daring to harass just anyone? Do you even know what death means? That's the Lord of Qingqiu! Even your father wouldn't dare utter a single foul word in front of him! You..."

"Three top-tier items, three top-tier items! Is your life even worth those things?"

"Uncle, there could be four! My Corroding Heart Arrow..."

Although it sounded a bit silly to say it like that, Wudi was worried about being discovered and getting another beating, so he decided to just say it outright! They'd share the beating!

"It's included!"

"..."

Meanwhile, Wu Chu returned to the Summit of the Sacred Tree. Qingqiu Chen had already risen from the ground and stood beside Qingqiu Li with his hands at his sides. When he saw Wu Chu enter, he gave Wu Chu a meaningful smile, as if to say: How was it? I cooperated quite well before!

Upon seeing this, Wu Chu couldn't help but chuckle, then looked at Feng Hen, gestured towards the box on the ground, and said, "You should know what those two Spirit Treasure are!"

Feng Hen smiled and nodded, saying, "This black rod is actually a Transforming Rod, crafted by an elder of our clan for amusement. With a single point of the rod, it can transform the target into any shape at will, containing seventy-two transformations, including both plant and animal forms..."

"So, this Spirit Treasure was actually provided by your Qilin Clan?"

Feng Hen sighed helplessly and said, "That day, Old Wu Yu of the Wolf Clan cried and begged our clan's ancestor for help, saying that one Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure wasn't enough to guarantee success, but they couldn't afford to give up any Spirit Treasure. In reality, they were simply unwilling to do so. Although our ancestor understood his feelings, seeing how pitiful he was crying, he couldn't just leave without helping..."

So, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!
