Rong Mo did not dare delay any further, and rushed to the palace to see the patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
Stepping into the palace, all of the disciples bowed their heads and saluted Rong Mo: "Greetings, Clan Leader!"
Rong Mo only saw a man in white with delicate features sitting inside the palace. He had delicate eyebrows and starry eyes, like a bright moon, his thin lips were parted, and he was casually sipping the tea in his hand.
From the looks of it, he did not look like an experienced Fox-Race Patriarch at all, but more like a handsome man beside him.
But despite that, Rong Mo still did not dare to underestimate him, his tone was extremely polite and took the initiative to speak: "I am Rong Mo, and am sorry for underestimating you, please forgive me."
Yun Qian carelessly glanced back as he slowly stood up and replied, "There is no need to be courteous clan leader. In terms of seniority, Yun Qian would like to address the clan leader as uncle-master, and uncle-master should call him by his name."
Rong Mo gave him a quick glance. Even though he was young, his every word and action was extremely steady, and his speech was neither panicked nor impatient. The moment he opened his mouth, he gave off the demeanor of a patriarch.
Rong Mo laughed, and then stopped being courteous, "Nephew Yun Qian, since you have just ascended to the throne, this old man should go and congratulate you. If not for the matter of your unfilial son being delayed, I would have to ask you to come over personally, I am truly sorry!"
"Patriarch, there's no need to be so polite. We have been friends for generations, so there's no need to pay attention to these fake etiquette anymore." "I have come today on behalf of my Royal Mother, to greet the Patriarch. In the future, if there is anything that my Royal Mother needs, please do not hesitate to tell my Patriarch about it, just like when my Royal Mother is in power."
Yun Qian expressed his stance and was willing to extend his friendship with Phoenix Clan for many years, to continue to be on good terms with him!
In the past few years, Nine-Tailed Fox and the two great Divine Phoenix Orc Clan had become interdependent and powerful alliances. There had never been any major conflicts, and no other force would dare to shake the two great Divine Phoenix Orc Clan.
Following that, Yun Qian added, "By the way, Yun Qian wants to discuss with Uncle Shi about the disturbance between the phoenix and Fox Clan, and between the snake race and Bird Clan."
Actually, this was Yun Qian's main goal for today. He was only casually bringing it up to attract Rong Mo's attention.
Before this, they had been in peace, attaching themselves to the Orc Clan of the two great gods. But in recent years, ever since Yun Lichen had begun to slowly take over the reins of power, the relationship between the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and them had gradually drifted away.
As a result, the Naga Tribe and Bird Clan began to stir up trouble secretly, fending them off, and becoming restless. But because this place was located in the middle of the Orc Clan of the two Gods, even if Rong Mo wanted to settle this issue, he was afraid that he would offend the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
Thus, this sort of matter was the best choice for the two tribes to discuss and come to a conclusion.
Now that Yun Qian had taken the initiative to suggest the proposal, it was naturally what Rong Mo was most willing to hear. "Nephew Yun Qian, since that's the case, this old man shall order some people to set a feast and discuss this matter slowly with you."
Then, he turned around and ordered, "Someone, prepare for the feast!"
At the same time, Xi Ruo followed Rong Yu and arrived at the Phoenix Clan. Along the way, Rong Yu seemed to have something to say to Xi Ruo, and Xi Ruo only listened from the side, occasionally responding.
"Xiruo, I'll first take you on a tour around this Phoenix Clan." Rong Yu looked to be in high spirits.
"I think you should go greet your uncle." Xi Ruo softly warned, "If you admit your wrongs with a good attitude, you might be able to experience less physical pain."
Rong Yu sighed helplessly: "Alright then."
He would have to face it eventually, so he decided to apologize to his uncle.
Just as the two approached the palace, Xi Ruo accidentally raised her eyes and saw Rong Mo walking out. Behind him, stood a man dressed in white, whose mind instantly went blank, as if his vision had frozen.
Clouds Shallow...
Was it really him?
Seeing that the two were about to come over, Su Xiruo panicked and quickly turned into a shadow and disappeared beside Rong Yu.
After Xi Ruo flashed her body behind a huge pillar of lacquer in the distance, she appeared. In an instant, she felt that her fingerbone was trembling a bit.
Her heart had clearly been calm for a long time, but when she saw him, it was as if all her calmness had vanished. She really did not know how she was supposed to face Yun Qian.
She turned around and secretly glanced in the direction of Phoenix Hall, but she still couldn't suppress the fluctuations of her emotions.
He had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few months. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, giving off a free from dust, but it was even colder than before.
Nodding her head, Xixi tightly clenched her fingernails, as if her nails were about to sink into her flesh. Guilt and uneasiness immediately surged up within her heart.
"Xiruo." Seeing that Xi Ruo had disappeared, Rong Yu felt that it was a little strange. Just as he wanted to look for her, he met his uncle and immediately bowed, with a guilty look on his face, "Uncle …"
"Unfilial son, you are getting more and more outrageous." Rong Mo was immediately incensed, "You actually knew to come back! Do you know how long this noble one has been searching for you? "
Rong Yu immediately expressed his weakness: "Uncle, I am just …. Did he come back? You just went out to get some fresh air. You know that Phoenix Clan is really too boring. "
"Bastard, it's not proper for you to be like this. Quickly get up and greet Fox Emperor!" Rong Mo berated coldly.
Seeing the situation, Rong Yu weakly raised his head and looked Yun Qian in the eye. In the next second, both of them revealed a look of astonishment.
How could it be him, Mu Jin … He didn't expect … Not only was he still alive, he was an orphan that Phoenix Clan had just found?
"It's you!" Rong Yu blurted out in surprise.
"Why? Do you two know each other?" Seeing the situation, Rong Mo asked in surprise.
"I don't know him." Yun Qian and Rong Yu uttered these three words at almost the same time.
Rong Mo did not care too much about it, "Yun Qian, this is my nephew, Rong Yu, Rong Yu, he has never seen Fox Emperor before!"
Rong Yu sighed helplessly, and lowered his body: "Greetings, Fox Emperor."
Rong Mo then continued to speak: "Yun Qian, this nephew of mine is not sensible, I have truly embarrassed myself."
"It's fine."
Rong Mo glanced at Rong Yu, and then asked coldly: "Why did you suddenly appear outside of the imperial palace? This noble one is also surprised, you actually knew that you had returned."
Rong Yu lowered his head, and with extreme helplessness, curled his lips and said: "I also want to stay for a few more days. It's Xiruo, she wanted me to come back earlier, so I could only … "He's back today."
"Poison Sovereign... Where is she? " Rong Mo took the opportunity to ask.
Rong Yu was also at a loss. Looking around, he did not see anything, "I'm also curious, why did it disappear when you were clearly by my side just now?"
That familiar yet strange name was like a dagger, inadvertently slicing open Yun Qian's heart, complicated emotions intertwined into a ball, his graceful brows slightly raised, carefully observing everything, suddenly feeling the familiar Spiritual Strength's ripple from behind the pillar of lacquer not far away.
Although he did not see her, Yun Qian more or less understood that the woman was here!
But now, Mu Jin had not died, and was still together with her safe and sound.
Yun Qian Bing's lips curled up slightly as she let out a mocking smile. She then said, "There must be something shameful that I'm afraid of. I just don't dare to show my face."
That tone was extremely cold. He even purposely raised his voice a bit. Even Xiruo, who was hiding not too far away, could vaguely hear it.
Her fingers were curled tight, and her head was slightly lowered. Her eyes were slightly red, but she remained calm.
Just as Yun Qian had said, she did not dare to show her face. She did not dare to let him know that she was here, nor did she know how to face him.
"Hey, how can you say that?" On the other hand, Rong Yu was dissatisfied after hearing his words.
"Rong Yu, don't be rude!" Rong Mo saw the situation, and immediately cut him off.
Yun Qian gave a noncommittal smile, and his tone carried slight ridicule: "Youngest Prince is rather protective of that woman."
