In today's Donghuang Realm, the five major states are divided up by the five major demon tribes.

The Qilin, representing the Horn Clan, occupies the vast plains of Zhongzhou and also holds the legitimate title of "Lord of All Monsters".

This title was created by Emperor Yinglong in ancient times and inherited by the Qilin clan.

Xuanwu, representing the Kun tribe, occupies the glacial rift valley in Beizhou.

In ancient times, the Qilin and Xuanwu tribes of Beizhou were discriminated against and oppressed by Emperor Yinglong, so they secretly established an unbreakable alliance.

After the decline of the Jiaolong clan, the Qilin clan was able to rise and seize Zhongzhou with the help of the Xuanwu clan.

Today, due to the lack of a common enemy, the two ethnic groups have long since become estranged from each other, and only one tenth of the friendship they once had remains.

But out of strong political inertia, the Xuanwu clan is still willing to obey Qilin's orders and regard him as the spokesperson for their own interests... at least on the surface.

The blue dragon, representing the scale clan, occupies the swampy river valley of Dongzhou.

Compared with their "old friends" the Xuanwu clan, the relationship between Qilin and Canglong is relatively more realistic, almost like the relationship between a feudal lord and his vassal.

Canglong supports Qilin as the "common leader of all monsters", and Qilin recognizes Canglong as the "master of the dragon clan". The two do not infringe on each other's sovereignty, that's all.

The white tiger, representing the Mao tribe, occupies the mountains and hills of Xizhou.

The relationship between the white tiger and the Qilin is even worse. After all, the Furry Tribe are mostly carnivores, while the Horned Tribe are mostly herbivores... This hostile relationship, which is inherited from animal instincts, leads to the Furry Tribe generally discriminating against the Horned Tribe.

In addition, Qiuling, where the White Tiger Clan lives, is the largest source of Moon Crystal Stone in the entire Eastern Emperor Realm. This makes Xizhou richer than the other four states, and also gives the Mao Clan the confidence to obey orders but not declarations.

The contemporary leader of the Qilin tribe, Qi Weihuan, the king of all monsters, won the support of Xizhou by marrying the daughter of the leader of the White Tiger tribe.

However, it is rumored that the relationship between the couple is not harmonious. The White Tiger Queen calls her husband "the big-horned fat deer", which is a laughing stock among the Mao people in Xizhou.

The red bird, representing the feathered tribe, occupies the hot rain forests of Nanzhou.

If the White Tiger is arrogant and difficult to control, then the Vermilion Bird is unruly. In three out of five years, it was at war with the Horn Tribe... and the remaining two years were at war with the Fur Tribe or the Scale Tribe. It can be called the "Shushan Sword Immortal" of the Eastern Emperor Realm.

Because of this, the relationship between Nanzhou and Zhongzhou is the worst, and they almost want to get rid of each other as soon as possible.

"So, Long Long, what do you think should be the attitude of our Canglong clan towards the other four clans?" The old tutor of the Canglong clan asked slowly.

Long Long thought for a moment and replied:

“As for Qilin, keep a respectful distance from it; as for Xuanwu, maintain friendly relations with it, but do not establish any political relationship with it.”

"As for the White Tiger, we can avoid dealing with it openly, but we can secretly form an alliance with it and sow discord between it and the Qilin."

"For Zhuniao, we need to denounce the hostility openly, but we can provide assistance in private, so that they can continue to stand on the front line to attract Qilin's hostility."

"Very good." The old tutor looked at everyone and asked, "Do you all understand?"

The little blue dragons looked at each other, but none of them said anything.

Demons that have not transformed are not as intelligent as humans and are probably about the same as children of eight or nine years old.

Even people like Qin Zhou and Qin Ye, who have high-level bloodlines and have received a good education, are at best "relatively precocious" children.

The only one who could understand was Dragon Fox, who was one-quarter human. So the old teacher called her out to answer.

"For the Canglong clan, the most dangerous diplomatic situation is to be targeted by the Qilin and Xuanwu clans together." Longhu said in a crisp voice.

"Therefore, you need to respect and keep your distance from the Qilin. Respect it to avoid becoming its enemy, and keep your distance because there is no need to get close to it."

"It's not impossible to win over the Xuanwu clan, but the cost would be too high. Therefore, we just need to make friends with them and maintain a normal relationship."

"White Tiger doesn't have a very good relationship with Qilin, and it also has an unfriendly relationship with Vermilion Bird. Xizhou is also adjacent to Zhongzhou, Beizhou, and Nanzhou, so it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. This geographical relationship makes it a natural ally of the Canglong clan."

"Of course, this relationship must be kept secret, because the Qilin clan does not want to see East State and West State form an alliance."

"Although the Vermilion Birds have a bad relationship with our tribe, they are mainly hostile to the Qilin."

"As long as Zhuniao still maintains its rule over Nanzhou, Qilin will regard Zhuniao as a major threat and will have no time to turn its attention to dealing with other major clans."

"Therefore, for the Canglong clan, the best world situation is undoubtedly that the Vermilion Bird and the Kylin fight but do not break each other, and the Black Tortoise and the Kylin are in harmony but not in harmony. The Canglong clan only needs to maintain a good relationship with the White Tiger clan to avoid hostility with any clan as much as possible."

"Did you understand everything?" The old teacher nodded approvingly and looked around at everyone again and asked.

"I understand!" the little blue dragons said hurriedly. Even those who didn't understand pretended to understand so as not to be looked down upon by the other young dragons.

The old teacher announced the end of get out of class and hurriedly left the classroom.

On the stands near the corridor, Qin Beiwang, the patriarch of the Canglong clan, was standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the boundless East China Sea in the distance.

"How are the children doing?" he asked calmly.

"They are all pretty good." The old tutor gave a mediocre evaluation.

"Where are Qin Zhou and Qin Ye?" Qin Beiwang asked again.

"The young lady has great potential, and the young man has a very good understanding." The old tutor replied.

Very good potential, but not yet. Very good comprehension, meaning if you study hard, you can still teach.

Qin Beiwang sighed. He did not have too many expectations for his children's political intelligence. He just continued to ask:

"Where's the Dragon Fox?"

"Very talented." The old tutor whispered.

After all, he has human blood, so it is understandable. Qin Beiwang nodded and finally asked:

"Where's Long Long?"

"A genius." The old teacher was silent for a moment and then replied.

Qin Beiwang was speechless for a moment.

For the demon race, which believes in the law of the jungle, strength is the ultimate factor in deciding the outcome.

But if they are already a powerful clan with no worries about survival, then it would be better to have someone with good brains instead of having a few more capable fighters.

Because of this, the elders of the tribe are more optimistic about Long Long and Long Hu.

What's even better is that the bloodline of these two people is from the Jiaolong side, so they can only become elders of the dragon clan at most, but it will not endanger the status of the clan leader of his lineage...

Thinking of this, Qin Beiwang's expression softened.

Long Long, Long Hu, you have to shoulder the future of the Canglong clan.

After class, Long Long chatted with Qin Zhou and Qin Ye for a while, then took Long Hu away from Jianmu and went out to hunt pheasants.

After leaving Nanzhou ruled by the Feather Clan, the little fox could finally eat chicken openly, so she asked Long Long to roast one for her every day.

"Longlong Longlong!" Seeing him turning the grill while staring at the roasted chicken, Longhu could hardly hold back his saliva and asked greedily, "Why isn't it ready yet? Hurry up."

"It will be ready soon." Long Long took out a small brush and brushed hot oil on the roast chicken, but continued to think silently in his mind.

With the abilities he has demonstrated so far, his status in the Canglong clan will only get higher and higher.

On the one hand, it would allow him to better develop with the help of the Canglong clan; but on the other hand, it would make him overly valued by the clan, making it even more difficult for him to leave Dongzhou and go to Beizhou with the little fox.

Well, we need to make a plan for running away.
