Hui Shuo entered the room, reached for the remote control on the coffee table, and was about to continue watching TV when Wang Yao quickly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, we have other things to do. Let's talk about it first, okay?" Wang Yao said.
"Is this the Dharma Propagation Platform of the Beiyuan Mao Clan? I usually like to watch this, but it's quite hard to find. There are more than three thousand channels on the Holy Domain TV. Master Huishuo has only been here for a short time and he has already found this unique Buddhist channel in the Holy Domain. He is truly wise and has a natural understanding of Buddhahood."
Unexpectedly, Pudu praised it from the side.
"Didn't you say before that Monk Huishuo was reserved in his Buddhist nature and possessed wisdom that seemed clumsy? How come you've changed your mind now?" Tongxuan turned to Pudu in astonishment and asked.
“That’s what my master said. But I feel that Master Huishuo’s Buddha-nature shines brightly, his wisdom is divine, and he is not clumsy at all,” Pudu replied with a smile.
"Nonsense, all this mystical talk. I think you're just a sycophant," Tongxuan said.
"Amitabha, you flatter me, Master Tongxuan and Master Pudu. I... I was bored in the Zhanghuang clan, and Master Tongxuan... taught me how to find the Dharma Platform." Hui Shuo was still being polite without understanding the situation.
Listening to their conversation, Wang Yao sensed something was off. Just as he was pondering how to broach the subject, Tong Xuan chuckled and cursed at Pudu, but his expression immediately turned serious as he turned to look at Wang Yao.
"Lord Yue Lao, what brings you two old men here?"
"Um... Great Immortal, how did it go when the two of you mediated the dispute between the Yi Clan and the Liang and Shu Clans?" Wang Yao was taken aback when he heard this, and then turned his thoughts back to the current matter.
“What’s so difficult about that? After we got there, we met with the chieftains of the Liang and Shu tribes respectively. The situation was obvious: the Yi tribe’s army was pressing in, and that monkey tribe envoy had suddenly disappeared. The two chieftains were regretting their decision. They couldn’t be happier if we went there,” Tongxuan said.
"That's right. According to Qing Ning, the chief of the Liang tribe, the Liang tribe's attack on the Yi tribe was purely due to the instigation of the Hu tribe's envoy. They said that the Yi tribe suffered heavy losses in the great war with the Zhang Huang tribe and was no longer able to occupy the Dongchuan continent. The Zhang Huang tribe was also unable to swallow up the vast territory of the Yi tribe after the great war."
"The spies they sent out also confirmed that the Yi tribe was indeed fighting a major battle with the Zhang Huang tribe, which is why they sent troops to attack the Yi tribe, just to gain some easy advantages."
"As the Yi tribe's army launched a counterattack, Qing Ning had already regretted his actions, especially since the Hu tribe envoy who had instigated the conflict had actually fled during the great battle with the Yi tribe. Therefore, after hearing my mediation, he immediately agreed to return the Yi tribe's land and even promised to provide some compensation to the Yi tribe within his means."
Pudu nodded in agreement.
"Oh, so have the Sleeping Guardians of the B Clan stopped their attack?" Wang Yao nodded and asked again.
"That's why we're so eager to see Lady Lian!" Tongxuan slapped his thigh. "She's gone, but she hasn't designated anyone to lead the army. Xiao Lu, Xiao Gui, and the city lords of the twelve cities are all talking to themselves. I've been waiting there for ages, but I still haven't gotten any definite news."
"That's why we had no choice but to rush back to see Madam Lian, but unexpectedly, she locked herself in her room and refused to see anyone..."
"You mean the Yi tribe's army is still attacking?" Wang Yao asked anxiously.
"No, that's not true. After all, Lady Lian did speak up before, and her children wouldn't dare to act recklessly. But the Yi tribe's army is still eyeing the border between the two tribes covetously. As long as they don't withdraw here, the Shu tribe will have no choice but to deploy their troops for war. The situation between the two tribes is not optimistic at all."
Tongxuan hurriedly said.
“I’m in the same situation. Gao Xiaoshang has returned to Xiaoshang City, but the Yi tribe’s army is still maintaining an offensive posture on the Liang tribe’s border. I advised her to withdraw the army a little, even if it’s just fifty or a hundred miles, but she just won’t listen.”
“The city lords of the other cities also have their own ideas. Some want to return to their cities, some want to return but are afraid of being punished by Lady Lian, and some even advocate a great battle with the Liang tribe to deplete the Liang tribe’s main force. It is difficult for everyone to reach a consensus,” Pudu added from the side.
"So Pudu and I discussed it and decided we had to come back to find Lady Lian. It would be a waste of time to stay there any longer," Tongxuan said, nodding.
"Oh, then there shouldn't be any problem. Since Xiao Jing said she has already reported to Lady Lian, the frontline army should be withdrawing soon. After all, those secondary mother nests can't stay away from their home city for long." Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Tong Xuan and Pu Du's explanation.
"But... how can Lady Lian not show up? She's the one who arranged all our missions!" Tongxuan was still somewhat indignant.
"You two are unaware of what happened when we returned to Muyi City," Wang Yao said, recounting how he had arranged the marriage between Commander Lang and Princess Jinxiu, and how Lady Lian had treated Jinxiu's injuries. As for Li Kui, Wang Yao didn't bother to go into details.
“So that’s how it is… It is… It’s not a bad idea.” Tongxuan and Pudu looked at each other for a while after hearing Wang Yao’s words, and murmured to themselves.
He originally intended to ask Wang Yao to arrange a marriage between Lang Bao and Jin Xiu. Now that Lang Bao has been replaced by Commander Lang, although the man has changed from a son to a father, the result can still be considered ideal. If it weren't for the upheaval in the Zhang Huang clan, Tong Xuan would have been happy to accept this situation.
"However, a problem has arisen now. What do you think we should do?" Wang Yao then explained the situation of the Zhang Huang clan slaves and the attitude of Commander Lang, seeking the opinions of Tongxuan and Pudu.
"This... does this mean that the marriage you arranged will result in Princess Jinxiu eating General Lang?" Upon hearing what Wang Yao said, Tongxuan didn't think about other issues, but instead became worried about General Lang's safety.
