Chapter 745: Good Vision
After experiencing the great changes in the Huangfu family, Huangfu Chanyuan more or less developed some of the airs of a Bianzhi Zhenren, and went in two different directions from Gong Mengbi.
In the past, Gong Mengbi didn't like to tell jokes. Except for lowering his posture in front of close people, he always had to say things to make things polite. But now, he is gradually finding fun in it.
Huangfu Chanyuan used to be quirky, but after shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Huangfu family, she can no longer accept jokes.
This was the reflection of the change in their circumstances. Gong Mengbi understood it and changed the subject.
"So I sincerely thank Young Master Chanyuan. If it weren't for your help, Yehu would probably be in a much worse situation now. Both the Huangfu and Hu families have turned a blind eye to Yehu for many years. In recent years, the Goddess has been intentionally supporting me, and I have received a lot of help from you."
"To be honest, I originally thought that Hu would be the first one to come looking for me, but I didn't expect it to be the young master."
Huangfu Chanyuan then felt somewhat proud and arrogant, saying, "My Huangfu family doesn't have much else to offer, but we do have good vision. It's understandable that the Hu family didn't come. Our three families didn't originally rely on the Sky Fox Courtyard, but the Hu family is different; they built their family within the Sky Fox Courtyard."
"The Hu family currently has the most fox spirits in the Heavenly Fox Court. Not everyone from our three families will be sent to the Heavenly Fox Court, as they all have their own businesses to manage. However, the Hu family relies entirely on the Heavenly Fox Court, and often relies on the three of us to get things done. Naturally, every step has to be cautious and they dare not easily give away their treasures."
Gong Mengbi was actually quite surprised and asked, "Why is Young Master Chanyuan so bold as to bet on me?"
"I'm very good at judging people. You have something that others don't. I think that's why the goddess values you. The Su and Chun families are great clans passed down from ancient times. They have the arrogance of great clans and the blind determination to remain unshakable no matter what they go through. To put it bluntly, they're stuck in the past."
"Our Huangfu clan actually had similar signs, but I've nipped them in the bud this time, and things will definitely improve in the future. The Huangfu clan originally prospered by living in the Emperor's mausoleum, and they made several important decisions that have earned them their current wealth. We're betting on you, not only because the goddess values you, but also because you possess unique luck."
There was a faint green light flickering in Huangfu Chanyuan's eyes, and Gong Mengbi was looked at quietly by her until the light in her eyes completely faded.
"Gong Mingfu, you are truly remarkable. I used to be able to see your different fortunes, but now that I have inherited my great-grandmother's legacy, I can't see anything clearly anymore."
She laughed and said, "This further proves that my vision is not bad."
This little bit of her pride really suited Gong Mengbi's taste, so he smiled and said, "Then I can't let Young Master Chanyuan's vision be disappointed. I can't let you choose the wrong person. Now that you've come out of seclusion, I have something I need your help with."
Huangfu Chanyuan was not embarrassed at all, but was very happy. She said, "Please speak."
"I have important matters to attend to right now, and I'm afraid I'm too busy to deal with them at the Sky Fox Court. Sooner or later, they'll cause trouble there, and they'll even join forces with you and the Hu family to curb the Wild Fox. I hope you can withstand the pressure and temptation when the time comes, and don't easily abandon me as your ally."
"Is this considered a request?"
“This is not an easy thing to do.”
"That means what you are doing now is very important, so important that it makes them feel threatened."
Gong Mengbi smiled but said nothing.
Huangfu Chanyuan nodded readily and said, "Okay, since that's all you have to ask, I will definitely do it for you."
Gong Mengbi took Huangfu Chanyuan for a stroll around Lanyin Mountain, chatting about some serious matters. Some were about the Huangfu family, and some were about the Tianhu Courtyard. Some things were one thing from the perspective of a wild fox, and another from the perspective of an aristocratic family.
"You are undoubtedly doing something that offends others. It won't be easy to bite off a piece of meat from the hands of the aristocratic family."
"When the Heavenly Fox Academy was first built, the Su and Chun families relied on their ancient fox clans to decorate it and attract other fox spirits. The Hu family, inspired by the goddess, took the surname Hu and built a family on the foundation of the Heavenly Fox Academy. These three families are the true elders of the Heavenly Fox Academy. My Huangfu family, on the other hand, joined later."
"The Hu family values the goddess's opinion the most. If you can convince them, things will be much easier."
Gong Mengbi said, "It's true that the Hu family values the goddess's opinion, but they also value their status in the Heavenly Fox Court the most. On the one hand, they can't go against the goddess's wishes, and on the other hand, they're worried about the wild foxes coming in to take a piece of the pie and become the next Hu family. To convince them, words alone are useless."
Huangfu Chanyuan nodded and said, "That's right, it depends on your ability."
She blinked and said, "Or if you can find a way to convince Su or Chun, things will be easier."
When she has bad intentions, her mischievous nature is revealed, with a cunning look in her eyes.
"Tell me about it."
Huangfu Chanyuan paced back and forth and said, "Do you remember that I went to Fox Court with Chun's sister a few years ago?"
Gong Mengbi already knew what she was going to say, and signaled with his eyes: You don’t have to say it anymore.
But Huangfu Chanyuan just played dumb and said, "Chun Wanyi is still waiting to be married. If you can marry her and become Chun's son-in-law, it will naturally save you a lot of trouble."
Gong Mengbi said with a half-smile, "You have something to say, something you are hinting at, why don't you just say it?"
Huangfu Chanyuan looked around and said, "I'm just giving you some advice from a friend's perspective."
"Okay. Then let me reject your suggestion." Gong Mengbi waved his hand, but kept this matter in mind.
Huangfu Chanyuan didn't seem like the type to make random comments. Her words had hidden meanings, and were either jokes or reminders.
The area of Lanyin Mountain is quite magical. The ancient Zen sounds are accompanied by the faint fragrance of orchids. It is profound and quiet, making people want to explore it but unable to find the way in.
When they returned to Fox Courtyard, Huangfu Yuliu and Huangfu Jiaona had finished teaching the cultivation department and came to meet Huangfu Chanyuan.
Gong Mengbi originally wanted to give them some time alone, but Huangfu Chanyuan didn't let him leave. She just said, "Mr. Mingfu is a true man of the Tao. It's your chance to practice with him. You must seize it."
The four of them sat down in the pavilion. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom. When they heard Gong Mengbi's voice, the sound of water rang out in the lotus pond.
The spiritual clam floated to the surface and spit out a bright pearl from its shell. Yuehua held it up and presented it to Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi held the pearl in his hand. It was not a hard pearl, but a soft water film wrapped in moonlight, shaped like a pearl.
"Thank you very much."
Gong Mengbi asked Xiaoqian to take a porcelain bowl and light a piece of nourishing incense and place it by the lotus pond. After a while, the spiritual clam was floating under the water, like a swimming moon.
