Yan Shengzhou took the punch, got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gave a cold smile: "We're even now. From now on, we'll compete fairly."
"Compete my ass!"
Yan Shengchao couldn't help but curse at Yan Shengzhou, who was completely clueless about the situation.
"Who the hell do you think started the fire in the fox clan? The old man has his eye on Yi Mu. How come I never noticed how stupid you were before? Did you think the fire was an accident?"
Yan Shengzhou naturally guessed that the fire was caused by the Xuanmen people, but he had no evidence.
But Yan Shengchao's statement confirms that the fire was a man-made disaster, not a natural one.
The current head of the Xuanmen sect not only wants Yi Mu dead, but also wants to exterminate the fox clan.
Having realized this, Yan Shengzhou punched the wall next to him.
The walls were cracked, and the skin on Yan Shengzhou's knuckles was broken and bleeding.
He gritted his teeth: "The old man used my name to eliminate the fox clan, what a clever trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Yan Shengchao coldly said, "Your intelligence hasn't completely degenerated yet. Do you know what you should be doing now?"
Yan Shengzhou took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision.
“I can join forces with you, but I will never give up the opportunity to compete for Imu.”
The subtext is, don't even think about me giving you the Imur.
Yan Shengchao didn't bother to look at him. Anyone can make threats, but in the end, who Yi Mu belongs to is up to his own decision.
Yan Shengchao was confident that Yi Mu would not choose Yan Shengzhou.
Yimu stayed in the hospital for three days before being discharged.
He had just recovered from his injuries and wanted to go back to the mountain to see his family.
The mountain was burned to the ground, and not a single one of the fox clan's wooden houses remained.
The surviving foxes were moved by Yan Shengzhou to another hilltop.
Yi Mu had already guessed who set the fire from the unusually guilty expressions on his and Yan Shengchao's faces these past few days.
He has failed the fox clan; he has brought disaster upon everyone.
He didn't let Yan Shengchao and Yan Shengzhou come with him, and went up the mountain alone.
Who could have imagined that the joyous celebration of the clan chief's birthday would turn into a catastrophe?
Many newborn fox cubs were burned alive in the fire, their bodies completely burned, making it impossible to bury them in a grave.
Yi Mu knelt before his grandfather and explained the cause of the fire.
His mother slapped him, saying he had brought disaster to the whole clan.
The father stopped the out-of-control mother and gave Yimu a look, telling him to get up quickly.
Yi Mu was mischievous from a young age and was often beaten by his mother. His father protected him and would always give him this kind of look.
He always managed to slip away, but this time, he was truly wrong and deserved to be punished.
He remained kneeling, motionless. His grandfather sighed heavily and told his daughter and son-in-law to leave.
Only the grandfather and grandson remained in the narrow cave.
The Fox King personally helped his grandson up and asked him to sit down beside him.
"Tell your grandfather honestly how you met those two lads from the Xuanmen sect."
Yi Mu recounted the story in detail, starting from three years ago.
After listening to him, the Fox King stroked his beard and sighed, "Fate is fickle. I was planning to pass the Fox King position to you in two years, but now it seems there's no hope."
The Fox King gave Yi Mu a magical artifact for self-defense and told him to take good care of himself.
Yi Mu understood the Fox King's meaning: their people, having suffered this calamity, would surely live a life of seclusion and caution in the future.
He should not return to his tribe, lest he bring annihilation upon the entire tribe.
Yimu went down the mountain and sent a long message to his parents, telling them to take care.
Yan Shengzhou and Yan Shengchao were waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. The luxury car attracted a lot of onlookers. His outstanding appearance was secondary; the main thing was that handsome men and beautiful women often appeared at the foot of the mountain.
