"Lord Yue Lao, there's no need to rush. Come with me to Wangxiang Valley for a while. After I gather all the branches of Qingqiu and hold a clan leaders' meeting, the results will be clear soon. Until then, I can guarantee that I will not expel or be hostile to the exiles from the Near Western Continent."
"They can reside within the territory of my Liang tribe, but they must obey the military control of my Liang tribe. I also hope that your Heavenly Court can restrain those fugitives and prevent them from causing trouble." Qing Ning then looked at Wang Yao and said meaningfully.
“Well… I’m afraid I don’t have that much time to stay in the Liang tribe. I still need to go to the Shu tribe to take a look. How about this, I’ll go to the Shu tribe first, and then I’ll come over once you’ve prepared the clan leader’s meeting here.” Wang Yao hurriedly shook his head.
"Isn't it a bit too much of a rush? It's only been a month. My little daughter Qinghe has been clamoring to see you ever since she got off the plane. Aren't you going to go see her?" Qing Ning asked in astonishment.
For these great demons whose lifespans are hundreds or even thousands of years, a month is indeed an extremely short time, almost negligible. Therefore, he was very puzzled by Wang Yao's eagerness to go to the Shu tribe.
"I bear a heavy responsibility to the Heavenly Court and dare not slack off," Wang Yao said.
"I see... Then... what else do you want from my Liang clan? I said that since you sent Qinghe back, I should repay you in some way. I was originally planning to invite you to choose a treasure from my Liang clan's treasury. Well... let's wait until the clan leader's meeting to choose one?" Qing Ning said.
“Um… if Chief Qingning really wants to repay me, could you please arrange a place near the border between the nobles and the Yi tribe, that is, near Jiashan Pass, for the exiles from the Near Western Continent to temporarily reside? This would also help prevent them from causing trouble within the noble territory.”
Wang Yao was initially polite to Qing Ning, but after thinking it over, he made a request. According to Qing Ning, before Lady Zhe Mei returned to the Demon Realm, those exiles from the Western Continent were actually being kept under the care of the Liang Clan.
Qing Ning spoke kindly, promising not to expel or become hostile, but if they were expelled or became hostile, these exiles would be trapped in Liang territory with nowhere to escape, and their fate would be truly worrisome. If they could be placed on the border of the Yi tribe, the situation would be much better.
Wang Yao still had some confidence in Lady Lian. As long as the exiles could resist for a while, he could ask the Yi tribe to send troops to rescue them. Most importantly, the Hu tribe probably wouldn't be satisfied with the Liang tribe allowing these exiles to stay on the Yi tribe's border where they could escape at any time.
So since Qing Ning was going to go through the trouble of talking to him about a reward, he naturally had to make that request and see Qing Ning's reaction.
"Well... isn't the Old Man of the Moon being a little too cautious? Since my Liang clan has agreed to let those exiles take temporary shelter, what does it matter where they take shelter? I believe that under the watchful eyes of my Liang clan, even if they wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't be easy for them."
Just as Wang Yao had feared, Qing Ning politely refused his request.
"Hehe, I was just saying. Since the clan leader doesn't agree, then forget it." Wang Yao felt a chill in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, and he still said with a smile.
"Let's leave this matter at that, but our Liang clan's repayment to you, Old Man Yue, cannot be left like this. Rest assured, Old Man Yue, when the clan leaders' meeting is held later, you must come to our clan's treasure vault and take a good look." Qing Ning clearly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said with a smile.
"Of course, of course." Wang Yao nodded repeatedly, but fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead without him realizing it. "Then... no need for Chief Qing Ning to see me off, I'll get off here."
"How can that be? I've already prepared a private jet. You'll come with me to the airport. It's such a pity that it's rare for Lord Yue to visit my Liang tribe. My Liang tribe hasn't had a chance to properly entertain Lord Yue yet, and now Lord Yue has to rush off again."
"Um... when the clan leaders of all branches of my Qingqiu clan hold their meeting, and the Old Man of the Moon comes again, you must give my Liang clan a chance to properly show us hospitality." Qing Ning smiled and spoke politely to Wang Yao.
Wang Yao was extremely anxious, but he couldn't refuse Qing Ning, so he could only follow his car through the streets and alleys of Nandu City.
Through his conversation with Qing Ning, Wang Yao confirmed that the Hu tribe and the Liang tribe had established a certain degree of alliance. The fugitives from the Near West Continent led by Cai Xia must not enter the Liang tribe's territory, otherwise they would very likely fall back into the hands of the Hu tribe.
Therefore, he was eager to contact Caixia to confirm their route to the Dongchuan Continent and to remind Caixia to abandon her plan to enter the Liang tribe.
However, while Qing Ning sat in the car, Wang Yao couldn't talk to Cai Xia in front of him, so he could only look out the window frequently, hoping that the car would arrive at the airport soon.
The car fell silent again. Judging from Qing Ning's expression, he was frowning and seemed to want to say something to Wang Yao. But just then, a cell phone suddenly appeared in Qing Ning's hand. He looked down at it and then brought the phone to his ear.
"What? What are you doing?" Qing Ning's voice suddenly erupted in fury as he shouted unceremoniously inside the car. "Stop the car! Stop the car right now!" The car gradually slowed down in response to his shouts.
"Lord Yue Lao, something has happened in Wangxiang Valley. I need to go back and deal with it right away. I'll have the driver take you to the airport," Qing Ning said urgently to Wang Yao.
"Well... why don't you take the private jet back? I can just take the train," Wang Yao said hastily.
"No need!" Qing Ning replied, and before the car had come to a complete stop, he opened the door and jumped out, disappearing in an instant.
"Um...you can stop the car too, I'll get off here." Wang Yao waited until the car had driven a little further before calling for the driver to stop as well.
