The fat man finished an apple in no time, leaving a clean core on the table. He then quickly grabbed another apple, but instead of eating it right away, he held it in his hand and slowly rubbed it.
Wang Yao then noticed that the fat man was holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his other hand, which was slowly turning there.
"Now let me introduce myself. I am Mimi, the Mao ethnic ambassador to the Shu ethnic group. This is my chief secretary, Mihu." The fat man pointed to the dark jacket and introduced himself to Wang Yao.
Wang Yao was taken aback when he heard this. He never expected that this guy, who looked like a mountain of flesh, and that lean and capable man in a dark jacket, would have such a cute name.
"Ahem..." He quickly coughed to cover up his embarrassment. "I am Wang Yao, the Matchmaker of the Heavenly Court's Office in the Human Realm, and I am currently a member of the Heavenly Court's Investigation Team. This is Wuying, a member of the Underworld's Arrest Team."
“I know, I know, we’ve already had a pleasant time with Mr. Shadowless.” Mimi nodded repeatedly with a smile.
"The situation in the Holy Realm is quite complicated right now. Last time, when a fairy from the Heavenly Court went to the Mao Clan, we adopted an ambiguous attitude towards her suggestions. That was entirely out of necessity. When a strong wind blows, a candle flame will be extinguished in an instant."
"But our Mao tribe is a people who pursue freedom and revere Buddhism. How could we willingly bow down to those monkeys? In fact, we have already sent out monk soldiers to secretly cover the Heavenly Court's actions in the Northern Plains, and we have also taken large-scale actions against the Shu tribe to prevent the Shu tribe from siding with the tribal alliance."
As Mimi spoke, her expression turned serious.
"Our scouts encountered Mr. Shadowless while operating in the Honey Milk District of Cheese City, and learned that the Underworld had also sent a team. Therefore, we established a friendly cooperative relationship with Mr. Shadowless. Please forgive us, but to avoid information leaks and causing the Tribal Alliance to target us..."
“We request that Mr. Wuying keep our cooperation a secret for the time being, and not even reveal it to the Heavenly Court or the Underworld. After all, the smaller the circle of people who know about it, the longer the secret can be kept,” Mihu continued.
"To resist the tribal alliance, the Holy Domain must raise a banner. Only when we all unite under this banner can we say no to the tribal alliance with one voice! And we have recently discovered a perfect opportunity for the Shu tribe to take up this banner!"
Mimi's face lit up with excitement.
“However, the strength of our Mao clan in Dongchuan is not enough to accomplish this task. Therefore, we thought of inviting Mr. Wuying’s Underworld Arrest Team to help us. Now that Lord Yue Lao is involved, we are even more confident…” Mi Hu said.
"Um... excuse me for interrupting, but has your Mao tribe joined the tribal alliance yet?" After listening for a while, Wang Yao had a pretty good idea of what was going on. These Mao tribe members probably wanted to oppose the tribal alliance, but they didn't want to be the first to speak out. They were trying to set a trap for the Shu tribe.
But what he cared about most was Caixia. According to the route that Yama had told him, Caixia would eventually have to pass through the territory of the Beiyuan Mao tribe in order to enter the Dongchuan continent. If the Mao tribe was really as Mimi said, Caixia's journey to Beiyuan would naturally be much smoother.
But given Mimi's current behavior, would they really refuse the tribal alliance outright? Wang Yao was very skeptical. But if the Mao tribe had already joined the tribal alliance, things would be even more complicated. Even if the Mao tribe had the intention, wouldn't the tribal alliance have ways to restrain them?
If they truly believed them by then and the fleeing group chose to enter the Mao tribe, they would most likely be walking into a life-threatening situation.
“Um… to be honest, we are one of the founding clans of the tribal alliance.” Mimi paused for a moment, then said. “After all, when the monkeys came to our tribe, they showed great aggression. Our Mao tribe has always revered Buddhism and loved peace, so we had no choice but to submit to the monkeys’ tyranny.”
"Since your Mao clan is the initiating clan of the tribal alliance, why should we trust you?" Wang Yao frowned upon hearing this. Wu Ying probably didn't know about this beforehand, and his mind immediately started to wander.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Look, if I wanted to hide it from you, I could have simply not told you. According to the charter of the Clan Alliance, the name of the initiating clan must be kept secret before the Clan Alliance unifies the Holy Domain," Mimi said with a calm smile.
"Have you never heard the saying that a thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole? Our Mao tribe is a great force that has penetrated the core of the tribal alliance. We are willing to temporarily give up our freedom and damage our reputation in order to penetrate the heart of the enemy."
"Isn't this an extremely noble and admirable quality of 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' Think about it, don't you want an ally who can work with you from the inside to destroy the tribal alliance? Aren't we, the Mao tribe, the force you've been dreaming of?"
Mimi looked at Wang Yao with a radiant expression.
"Uh..." Wang Yao scratched his head. He couldn't deny that what Mimi said made sense, but to describe courage in such a brilliant and noble way, there was no one else but Mimi.
“However, you can’t convince us with just a few words. Since your Northern Plains Mao Clan is willing to resist the tribal alliance, you have an obligation to ensure the safety of us refugees who have migrated from various continents to Dongchuan,” Wuying said at this moment.
Wang Yao nodded silently. Indeed, if I don't show some real skills, I'm not someone who can be fooled into growing up.
"Do you think the Mao tribe didn't protect them? Isn't it our Mao tribe that has played a role in their ability to survive in the Near West Continent? The Near West Continent has been unified by the tribal alliance. Do you really think your escape team can remain undiscovered?"
