Chapter 987: Turning Into A Deer (I)
Senior White Banyan bears me no ill will... but once Mount Dali is involved, and considering the past tensions between the Dragon Clan and the fox tribe, I was tasked with delivering this message... perhaps this is an attempt to shift their relationship.
Li Zhouwei carefully recalled White Banyan's words, and his thoughts gradually became clear, The death of Dongfang You was certainly the key turning point in easing tensions... but age-old grudges aren't resolved by one death alone. The fox tribe is taking the initiative, and the Dragon Clan are being gracious in return. This is likely due to external pressure.
If they now share a common enemy, and this diplomatic attempt is centered around probing Mount Luoxia’s secrets... using someone like me with deep hatred toward Mount Luoxia as the link... then the answer seems obvious.
Li Zhouwei maintained a polite smile, golden eyes calm and unthreatening, but inwardly, clarity was dawning, It’s Mount Luoxia that’s forcing them to turn from enemies into allies... but why only now? Did Mount Luoxia do something... or are they about to?
The Bicolor Scaled Beast glided smoothly through the ocean. Music echoed in the hall, the scent of spirit fruits wafted through the air, and wine shimmered in goblets, but Li Zhouwei felt as if he were at the center of a storm. He could feel currents stirring above him, with Mount Luoxia, the dragons, the foxes, and countless hidden factions intertwined beneath the Heavenly Glow.
My Li Family is barely stronger than the weakest of the fox tribe... nothing more than ants in comparison. More importantly... does Mount Luoxia know? And what does that person think of all this?
Though Dingjiao had repeatedly promised that today's events wouldn’t be traced back to them, Li Zhouwei never took his words to heart. He treated it all as empty pleasantries and remained completely on edge.
Could the Purple Mansion Realm cultivators of Jiangnan truly have been unaware when I was invited into the Serpent Dragon Palace? My family searched for foxes several times right near their territory, so how could they not have known? Even my departure from the lake and boarding the Bicolor Scaled Beast in the Southern Sea was no secret, not with so many eyes watching!
There's no need for divination here. Just a bit of reasoning, and most of the puzzle becomes clear! What is Dingjiao really trying to keep secret... is it just entering the Abyss?
Li Zhouwei remained utterly composed as he faced the crown prince of the dragons, who wore a kind smile at the head of the hall. He was as calm as a still lake.
