Chapter 199 The Potential of an Excellent Red Thread Fairy
"You're lying! If you liked it, why did you leave in the first place?"
Upon hearing this, Tushan Yaya was stunned at first, then she picked up her endless wine jug and took a sip, then spoke vaguely.
"Because I also have my own things to do. Just like Sister Yaya, you have to protect Tushan, I also have my own mission and pursuit. But during this journey, I feel more and more the warmth and the feeling of home in Tushan. Every inch of land and every person here makes me nostalgic."
Ximen Tianyu's tone became gentle and sincere. He looked at Tushan Yaya with a firm gaze and continued, "Of course, I will not give up looking for the truth and revenge. But I think that after completing all this, there will be a place where I can live in peace. Tushan is undoubtedly the best choice. I hope to be here and protect this land with you."
Tushan Yaya listened to Ximen Tianyu's words, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She gently put down the wine pot, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She knew that Ximen Tianyu's words were not rash, but a decision made after careful consideration.
"Hmph, you're smart." Tushan Yaya snorted in a pretentious manner, but her eyes were full of smiles. "But it's not that easy to stay in Tushan. You have to prove your worth first."
"How do you prove this?"
Ximen Tianyu looked at Tushan Yaya's slightly flushed cheeks, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"There are many ways to stay, such as helping us complete the more difficult task of reincarnation and continuation of fate, or helping Tushan resist foreign enemies. Otherwise, do you still want to eat and drink for free in Tushan?"
Tushan Yaya raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sly smile on her lips.
"I really think so. If there is a sister in Tushan who is willing to support me, it would be great."
Ximen Tianyu said jokingly.
"go to hell!"
When Tushan Yaya heard this, she almost threw the endless wine jug in her hand. The blush that had just appeared on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by anger and disdain.
"Humph, wishful thinking! We are not a place where just anyone can enter Tushan. If you really want to stay, show your true abilities and stop thinking of crooked ways."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and flew away, leaving Ximen Tianyu with a slightly embarrassed smile. Ximen Tianyu touched his nose and smiled secretly in his heart. He knew that although Tushan Yaya was unforgiving in her words, she had actually tacitly agreed to his idea of staying in Tushan.
……
Another month passed, and in the main hall of the Xiao family, an old man slammed the table angrily. The teacup on the table trembled slightly due to the vibration, and the tea splashed and landed on the delicate porcelain surface, instantly turning it wet.
"Asshole! Half a month has passed, and you haven't even found out such a small matter. What do I usually keep you guys as secret agents for?"
The old man was none other than Xiao Tianba, the former patriarch of the Xiao family. He had a firm face and his eyes flashed with unquestionable majesty, but at this moment he could hardly hide his anger.
During this period of time, the Xiao family has been quite unstable. First, the great elder Xiao Tianci died on the southern border. Later, it was reported that they were colluding with the demon clan and intended to destroy the relationship between the human and demon worlds.
This series of events, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, caused waves, made everyone in the Xiao family panic, and made Xiao Tianba, the helmsman of the family, feel unprecedented pressure.
"Master, calm down. This is a serious matter. Although we have secret agents all over the world, the other party is obviously well prepared and acts very secretly. They seem to know everything about our movements." A man dressed in black and with a stern face stood in the hall. He was the chief secret guard of the Xiao family, named Yingsha. Xiao Tianba frowned when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Yingsha, I know you are always cautious in doing things, but this matter concerns the survival of the Xiao family. You must not slack off. You need to increase your efforts and make sure to find out the truth in the shortest time possible. At the same time, you must also strengthen the security within the family to prevent any internal ghosts from causing trouble."
Yingsha accepted the order and was about to leave when he heard Xiao Tianba speak again: "Do you think this was a trick by the Wang, Li, and Zhang families?"
"The election for the leader will be held in half a year. It is possible that the three of them will take this opportunity to attack us, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the monsters have betrayed us. The situation is complicated at the moment and further investigation is needed."
Yingsha said in a deep voice, his tone revealing a bit of solemnity.
Xiao Tianba nodded. He knew that in this game of power and interests, any mistake could be fatal. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the gloomy sky outside. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Pass the order on, have everyone be on high alert, and at the same time increase the efforts to gather intelligence from the outside world. Also, go to the South Country in person. That is our only channel for trading with the demons. I want to know if anything unusual has happened recently."
Xiao Tianba turned around and looked at Yingsha with a sharp gaze, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Yingsha responded, and then disappeared in a flash, leaving only a faint afterimage. Xiao Tianba sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and thought about every move he would make.
At the same time, in a corner of Tushan, Ximen Tianyu was walking side by side with Tushan Rongrong on a forest path. During this time, he not only assisted Tushan in completing the task of reincarnation and continuation of fate, but also learned more about the Xiao family through Tushan's intelligence network.
"Tianyu, you have made great progress recently. Have you found any trick?"
Tushan Rongrong laughed softly, her voice soft and warm.
Ximen Tianyu smiled slightly and said, "I have to thank Sister Rongrong for her careful teaching and help. It has helped me to take my Pure Yangyan to a higher level."
Tushan Rongrong nodded, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "However, improving your strength is only one of the factors. What is more important is your understanding of emotions."
"I heard from my sister that in these missions of reincarnation and renewal, you were always able to keenly capture those subtle emotional clues and help lovers resolve misunderstandings and reconcile. This kind of you makes me see the potential of becoming an excellent Red Thread Fairy."
"It's a pity that I don't have the power of a fox demon, otherwise it would be nice to be a red thread fairy."
Ximen Tianyu sighed casually.
"I do have a way to give you the power of a fox demon. Do you want to try it?"
There was a hint of playfulness in Tushan Rongrong's words, as if she was brewing an unknown plan.
Ximen Tianyu was moved when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Sister Rongrong, please stop joking. I know that the power of the fox demon is the blood inheritance of your Tushan clan. How can outsiders obtain it easily?"
