"Then you're mistaken. We Tree Spirits have something that can determine whether a Tree Spirit has signed a contract with a human."
At this point, the Monkey Clan elder stared intently at Xia Tianqiong's face, trying to see any sign of panic.
The result disappointed it, but Xia Tianqiong remained calm and composed.
On the contrary, the old lady in the funeral clothes and the boy with glasses suddenly became alert.
They seem ready to take action at any moment!
At that moment, Xia Tianqiong heard the telepathic message from the old woman in the funeral clothes in his mind.
"Damn it, I didn't expect the Tree Demon Clan to have something like this. Your plan can't go on. Before they start identifying it, I'll protect you and fight your way out!"
"Don't panic! We haven't been exposed yet. Don't make a move without my order."
Xia Tianqiong quickly replied to the old lady in the funeral clothes with his mind.
At the same time, he said to the elder of the Monkey Clan, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's start the identification! I don't have time to play spy drama with you guys here."
The three elders didn't quite understand what a spy drama was, but they could clearly see that he was calm and composed, without the slightest panic.
This, in turn, made the three clan leaders suspicious.
Could it be that he was truly wronged?
The three elders exchanged glances, and then Elder Silver Fir coughed lightly.
"Young friend Xia, if it's determined that you have a contract with it, don't blame us for being impolite."
At this point, his tone softened slightly, "If there is no contract, then it means we have wronged you, and we apologize."
I hope you won't take it to heart then. Our conflict with the Void Race has a long history, so we have to be cautious.
The elder of the Silver Fir clan was also worried that it was just a misunderstanding, so he softened his attitude and left some room for maneuver in his words.
Xia Tianqiong showed a hint of impatience and urged, "Don't waste everyone's time, hurry up and get it appraised."
The Silver Fir elder hesitated slightly, then suddenly a fist-sized object appeared in his hand.
It is as green as jade, shaped like a heart, and even beating.
"This thing is an extremely precious treasure of our race. If we tree spirits have a contract with a human in our bodies after consuming it, it will be fed back to the human through the power of the contract."
This feedback is visible, so it can be used to determine whether you have signed a contract with it.
As the elder of the Silver Fir tribe explained, he walked to Old Willow's side, removed the vine covering its mouth, and presented its green heart to its lips.
Old Liu was able to speak again, and he quickly shouted, "Elders, believe me! I have not done anything to betray our Tree Ghost Clan!"
After saying that, he eagerly opened his mouth wide and swallowed the thing in a few quick movements.
"ah!"
He even let out a groan, seemingly enjoying it immensely.
Its body suddenly emitted a pale green light, and its aura rapidly increased.
Previously it was just a malevolent spirit, but in the blink of an eye it broke through to a fierce spirit, and it continues to improve, not far from becoming a ruthless spirit.
Xia Tianqiong was very interested in it; this was really a good thing!
No wonder the Silver Fir elder looked so reluctant to part with it!
The three elders stared intently at Old Willow. If it had a contractual relationship with Xia Tianqiong, then green light would fly out from its body and into Xia Tianqiong's body.
However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, the green light eventually disappeared, and this situation did not occur.
The test results came back, and there was no contract.
"How could that be? I shouldn't have guessed wrong!"
The Monkey Clan was the most disappointed, feeling as if they had suffered a huge blow.
The Peach Blossom Clan Elder, on the contrary, regained her relaxed expression and was no longer so wary.
The elder of the Silver Fir clan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It genuinely didn't want Xia Tianqiong to be an undercover agent, because then it wouldn't be able to use him to deal with the Void Clan.
The old woman in the funeral clothes was indeed very surprised and sent another telepathic message to Xia Tianqiong.
"What happened? What happened to your contract with Old Liu?"
"How could I have left such a huge flaw and deactivated it before it returned to the Tree Spirit Clan?"
"That's impossible! Without the coercion of a secret contract, how could Old Liu willingly listen to you? How could he betray the Tree Demon Clan?"
