Looking for me? What do you want me to do?
Long Long subconsciously had a bad feeling and wanted to run away on the spot.
If he was alone at this time, he would have just run away; but Dragon Fox was beside him, and it was not convenient for him to take her with him, so he could only ask tentatively:
"May I ask this fellow...Fellow Daoist from the Fox Clan, we have never met before, have we?"
"Of course I haven't seen that." A well-concealed contempt flashed across the other person's eyes.
Although the contempt was subtle, it did not escape Long Long's eyes, so he immediately realized that the person who was really looking for him was not the other party.
If I refuse, there's no guarantee that the other party won't find someone else... Well, I might as well go and meet him.
After exchanging glances with Longhu for a moment, the two decided to first see who the other party was before making any subsequent responses.
If it really doesn't work, we can always bring up the name of Elder Hu Li.
Following the fox girl, the two came to a high ground.
Then he saw Qi Yingzhu sitting among a group of fox girls, chatting and laughing.
Long Long: ...
Dragon Fox: ...
Where did this little tiger come from?
Longhu was a little frightened for a moment, wondering if his and Longlong's identities were discovered by the fox clan and then reported to the white tiger clan?
Of course, Long Long also thought of this possibility, but after all, he was more experienced and soon realized that if the White Tiger Clan really discovered his identity, it would definitely not be Qi Yingzhu who came alone, but the White Tiger Clan Chief and the White Tiger General, or even the White Tiger Ancestor would come to see him in person.
Otherwise, how can I show my sincerity in being respectful to others? Even if he wants my body, he should let the woman's relatives and elders come out and invite me warmly, right?
Thinking of this, Long Long was able to confirm with a high probability that the other party just happened to appear here and probably did not discover their true identities.
Therefore, after calming down a little, Long Long saluted calmly and said:
"Meet the noble man."
"Oh?" Qi Yingzhu did not recognize him either. She nodded and asked, "Do you know me?"
"I have never had the honor to meet you." Long Long said with a smile, "But you are noble, like a crane standing out among chickens, how can I not see it?"
So the fox girls all laughed in unison, thinking that although this weasel boy was of lowly blood, he was quite good at speaking sweet words.
Qi Yingzhu was not confused by it, she just smiled and said:
"Then guess what the identity of this noble man of mine is?"
"Uh..." Long Long hesitated for a moment, and the dragon fox next to him also became nervous.
Obviously, if you speak too accurately, the other party will definitely notice that something is wrong; but if you make a completely blind guess, there is inevitably the possibility that it may be "too deliberate", and you need to strike a balance here.
Long Long naturally had a good sense of propriety in this regard, and said with a smile:
"Since you are surrounded by so many fox girls, you must be from a top family in Xizhou. Who else could it be other than the White Tiger Saint Clan?"
"Look, this weasel is really smart." Qi Yingzhu smiled slightly.
"Hey, the noble is praising you!" A fox girl and Long Long shouted, "Why don't you thank him quickly?"
It's just a compliment, what's there to be thankful for?
Long Long secretly complained in his heart, only to hear Qi Yingzhu ask seriously:
"If you are so smart, why are you with a kitsune?"
"You should know that the gap between your Weasel Clan and the Fox Clan is even greater than the gap between the Fox Clan and our White Tiger Clan."
"Even if you two love each other." Having said this, Qi Yingzhu paused for a moment, looked at the dragon fox and said, "The fox tribe will not allow you to be together."
"Your Excellency may have misunderstood something." Long Long said with a smile, "She and I are just ordinary friends, and there is no private relationship between us."
Longhu felt annoyed when she heard this. Although she knew that the two were both pretending and it was much safer to say they were friends than lovers, she still felt unhappy when she heard this.
Qi Yingzhu refused to believe it and just continued to laugh:
"If there is no secret love, why are you together day and night and inseparable?"
"You are joking, my lord." Long Long replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Love is not about being together day and night, inseparable; it is about being in love with someone even if you are at the ends of the earth and can never see each other, and still thinking about them and being unable to give up."
This sentence silenced Qi Yingzhu and the fox girl.
The fox girls were delicate and sensitive by nature. They were all stunned when they heard the words. Some of them even murmured and repeated the same thing over and over again, with tears in the corners of their eyes.
But Qi Yingzhu was not so easily sentimental. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"You are so young, how can you understand what love is?"
Long Long just smiled without saying anything, with a meaningful expression as if to say, "Those who understand will understand, and I can't explain to you those who don't understand" - of course, it's not that he's pretending to be profound, but it's really hard to explain.
After all, the more he talked, the more he would have to make excuses if Qi Yingzhu continued to question him, so it was better to just keep it simple and not go into depth.
When Qi Yingzhu saw him smiling without saying anything, she immediately felt a little disappointed and waved her hand to let him leave.
This was exactly what Long Long had expected, so he bowed respectfully and turned away with Longhu.
Seeing him leave without any reluctance and without any intention of clinging to her, Qi Yingzhu suddenly felt depressed... huh?
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have suffered a similar setback at the hands of another man - this feeling of being unable to advance or retreat was too familiar.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Yingzhu suddenly shouted.
Long Long could only stand there helplessly, only to hear Qi Yingzhu say again:
"I see that you have some knowledge. I just happen to have some doubts in my mind recently. You can try to answer them for me."
"How can I be worthy of helping you solve your doubts?" Long Long declined politely.
"It's okay." Qi Yingzhu didn't care. "I just said it casually, and you just answered it casually."
"I knew a man before. We were like-minded and got along well. But unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Fate played tricks on us. The family behind me and the family behind him went to war with each other, so we had to stand on opposite sides."
"Now the two sides have ceased fighting, but the relationship has not improved much. I want to rekindle my relationship with him, but I am worried... Forget it, you don't understand what I am worried about."
"Let me ask you this. If you and this fox girl fall in love, but the families behind you are hostile to each other, what will you do?"
Long Long thought to himself what kind of ridiculous question is this, when have we ever been so similar in spirit?
He pretended to think for a moment and replied:
"If that's the case, from my limited knowledge, it probably depends on the status of me and her in our respective families."
"If the two of us are just ordinary members of the clan, then we might as well leave the clan and find a secluded place far away to live there."
"Oh?" Qi Yingzhu asked calmly, "What about the family?"
"Since we are just ordinary members of the tribe, what's the problem with the two of us missing?" Long Long replied.
"What if you are in a high position and have great power, and your family treats you well?" Qi Yingzhu's tone turned cold.
"Then you naturally have to make a difficult choice between family and lover." Long Long said very tactfully.
