Chapter 684: Accept or Not
Three streams of yellow smoke jumped from the bed to the ground, as if trying to get in, but couldn't. They jumped from the ground to the wall, but still couldn't get out. They then jumped from the wall to under the bed, and finally shrank under the bed and refused to come out.
The fox prisoner stepped forward quickly and crossed two water and fire sticks in front of the bed to block them from escaping.
A pair of embroidered shoes walked slowly and softly, and stopped in front of the bed. The lotus pattern on the embroidered shoes was delicate and lovely. However, as soon as the embroidered shoes approached the bed, the whole bed began to tremble, and the curtains on the bed rippled.
Kang Yunu said calmly, "Come out."
The bed shook even more violently, and the bed board made a creaking sound when it hit the wall.
"That's all."
The pair of embroidered shoes did not move forward, but suddenly, a dark shadow blocked out the light and came towards the bottom of the bed. The shadow was huge and ferocious, like a fox. It crawled under the bed and grinned, "Where are you hiding?"
Under the bed, six frightened little green eyes let out a cruel scream, and then stopped abruptly.
The lights in the room flickered, and the bright light spread from the door to the altar.
A scholarly female cultivator stood in front of the altar, with a look of worry between her brows. Seeing Kang Yunu approaching with two fox prisoners, she asked, "Did you catch them?"
Kang Yunu made way, and Kang Wen saw that one of the fox prisoners was holding up three big furry tails, but the owners of these three tails were not exactly the same.
One of them was a fox with long limbs, and the other two were weasels with slender bodies.
"Why did they all faint?"
Kang Yunu said helplessly, "I asked them to come out, but they refused. I tried to catch them, but they were so timid that they fainted from fear."
Kang Wen said: "Let's wake them up first."
The fox prisoner placed the three large tails in his hands on the ground. Kang Yunu pointed and said, "Why don't you wake up!"
Kang Yunu swept his tail over the three little beasts, and with his magic power, the three little beasts woke up one after another.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a majestic statue standing in the light, and the butler Kang Yunu was right in front of him.
Without thinking, the three of them turned into yellow smoke and drilled into the ground. However, the yellow smoke had just sunk a little bit into the ground when it was shaken by Kang Wen's magic power. The smoke immediately became unstable and fell to the ground.
The head had already gone in, but the body was still outside. The head couldn't breathe in the soil, so it whimpered and tried to pull it out but couldn't.
Kang Yunu laughed out loud, and Kang Wen looked at her with a reproachful look. Then she smiled and pulled out the fox radish and the yellow radish, and pulled out the three little things again.
The three dusty little monsters shook their heads to shake off the dust. Seeing that they could not escape, they could only hug each other and shiver, their whole bodies shaking.
Kang Yunu asked, "You were very brave when you entered here. You knew this was the Fox Courtyard, but you still came here. Why are you so scared now?"
The three Qius lowered their heads tacitly, not daring to look Kang Yunu in the eye.
Kang Yunu said, "Do you know that although my Fox Court is small, it connects to the Heavenly Fox Court above and the Kingdom of Haoli below? You have signed and sealed your names. If we send you to the Yue Mansion and ask the underworld officials to investigate, how can we not find out your true identity? You can't even hide your tail properly. You can hide it for a while, how can you hide it forever?"
The three men drooped their heads and shoulders, as if all their energy had been drained away.
Da Qiu took a deep breath and filled his chest, then raised his head and said, "This is all my fault. I made them hide their true identity and come to study with me. They wanted to leave in front of the Fox Courtyard, but I refused. Please punish me. It has nothing to do with them!"
"no!"
Second and third Qiu rushed forward and stood up, blocking Daqiu behind them. The two weasels bowed and said, "It's our greed that has nothing to do with Daqiu. We are willing to accept the punishment. Please accept Daqiu. We are not foxes, but he is a fox."
As he spoke, he dropped his head to the ground and crawled on the ground to show his submission, even the tip of his tail was shaking.
Daqiu couldn't help crying, his thin voice echoing in the Fox Courtyard. He begged, "If Fox Courtyard can accept me, then why can't they accept Erqiu and Sanqiu? Is it just because they are not foxes?"
"Although we are not of the same kind, we have been neighbors since childhood and have lived together since we were enlightened. We are not brothers, but we are better than brothers."
"I came here because I heard there's a fox academy in Wuning County that's willing to teach wild foxes how to cultivate. If a little wild fox like me can receive guidance, then why can't they?"
"Why?" Daqiu said, crying uncontrollably.
Erqiu and Sanqiu hugged him and couldn't help crying too.
Kang Yunu couldn't bear it either, so she looked at Kang Wen with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Kang Wen lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and said, "Sister, you are too soft-hearted."
Kang Yunu did not refute and said, "We have all experienced this kind of situation and know what it is like."
Kang Wen said, "It's not that simple. We took in these two weasels today, but will we take in the two cats tomorrow? Will we take in the two snakes tomorrow? Will we take in the two birds tomorrow? If we don't take them in, how will we explain it? If we take them all in, will the Fox Court still be the Fox Court?"
"This..." Kang Yunu also hesitated.
Kang Wen threw incense into the incense burner on the altar and said, "We learned our skills from Master Gong. Fox Academy was originally the place where Sky Fox Academy cultivated talents. If we accepted them, what would Sky Fox Academy think? And how do we explain Master Gong's presence in Sky Fox Academy?"
This remark moved Kang Yunu, and she whispered, "You're right, this door can't be opened. It's okay for us, but we can't make it difficult for the palace master."
She glanced at the three hills, her eyes became firm, and the three hills' eyes dimmed.
Daqiu walked out of Erqiu and Sanqiu's embrace, wiped his tears, and bowed, saying, "Although I'm not destined to attend Fox Academy, I'm still grateful to the two teachers for giving us a good day, taking a bath, and having a full meal. I can't leave Erqiu and Sanqiu to study alone..."
"No!" Erqiu and Sanqiu stepped forward and held him down, begging, "Two seniors, we dare not embarrass you, but please accept him. He is a scoundrel and speaks without thinking. Please accept him."
Da Qiu was pinned down by them, unable to break free. He couldn't help but say angrily, "Stop talking. I just hope we can be reborn into good families in our next lives, and not be hindered by our birth or category."
Kang Wen's heart began to beat violently. She was restless and anxious. Looking at the smoke rising from the incense burner, she prayed silently and asked, "Master Gong, if it were you, what would you do?"
"If it were me, I would probably ask the Queen for her opinion as well."
A gentle and powerful voice sounded in his ears, and Kang Wen thought he was hallucinating.
But the statue of Gong Mengbi on the altar was glowing faintly, and the smoke from the incense burner rose straight into the sky, turning into a cloud road, leading to a red meteor that streaked across the night sky.
The red meteor fell from the cloud road, and the smoke rising straight into the sky was like a soft tail that supported him, guided him, and slowly landed him on the ground.
As soon as he landed on the ground, the powerful smoke turned into the softest air, floating gently and disappearing into the void.
Kang Wen's eyes welled with tears as he quickly stepped forward, then stopped, suppressing his excitement as he said, "Master Gong, welcome back."
