At this time, in the Wangpo Palace, the four beast gods, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, gathered in the "Wangpo Palace", seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
The leader, Qinglong, was wearing a long green gown. He was holding a teacup and tasting it carefully, while the beautiful young woman in white beside her was frowning and thinking, obviously something was bothering her.
Seeing that she was disturbed, the young man in long coat comforted her:
"Sister Baihu, are you still worried about that matter?"
Although the beautiful young woman only frowned slightly on her face, she was extremely unhappy in her heart.
"Why did that stinky bitch in red take over my territory!"
Hearing this, Suzaku was stunned, because she usually wears red dresses, and today is no exception.
White Tiger saw something strange about Suzaku, so he explained: "I'm talking about the lion, not you."
Suzaku didn't care much, but there was one thing that surprised her. After so many years of getting along with Baihu, this was the first time she saw him swearing in front of Brother Qinglong. However, it had little to do with her anyway, so she didn't let it go.
In my mind, I continued to play with the shiny red jade hairpin in my hand.
Suzaku's character has always been like this. She rarely cares about things that have nothing to do with her, unless Brother Qinglong speaks. However, because of this, she is the most agile among the four beast gods and is deeply loved by all races. This makes her
Bai Hu, who is also a female, is very envious.
"After all, the 'Ancient Path' is a master from the Holy Realm, and he is also willing to belong to the Kingdom of Beasts. If we encounter a great chaos in the future, the more combat power we have, the more protection we will have."
Facing Qinglong's explanation, although Baihu also admitted this truth in her heart, she still felt a little uncomfortable every time the words came to her lips. To put it bluntly, she just couldn't swallow this breath.
"But why does this stinky bitch have to keep an eye on my territory?! The Kingdom of Beasts is so big, she can't go anywhere!"
"After all, I was born and raised in Shituoling." The person who spoke was not Qinglong, but the slightly fat middle-aged man who had been meditating with his eyes closed just now.
After hearing this, the beautiful woman in white glared at her so hard that Xuanwu was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth and said silently in his heart: "I can't afford to offend you."
Qinglong naturally knew Baihu's temper. He quickly changed the topic and continued: "Then we will discuss this matter later. However, we should focus on the issue of the contractor of the 'Ancient Road'. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, Xuanwu was the first to shake his head. No matter it was Gu Dao or Bai Hu, he didn't want to offend either of them. If something went wrong, he would be scolded by both sides. In addition, he also heard that the person named
The woman in red on the ancient road has a very violent temperament, no worse than the white tiger, so it is better to be more stable now.
"As long as I don't look for trouble, trouble won't look for me." The slightly fat man thought in his heart. This was his motto in life.
But the beautiful woman just snorted coldly when she heard this. Obviously, she didn't care about this matter. To be precise, she didn't want to care about anything related to the "ancient road".
Qinglong suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. In the end, he could only turn his head and look at the only "girl in red" present, although he didn't hold out much hope.
"Sister Zhuque, what about you?"
"Me? Um..." Suzaku saw the young man in long coat looking at her. After thinking about it, she replied with some uncertainty: "I guess not!"
After finishing speaking, he took out an emerald green crystal pendant from somewhere and started playing with it.
Qinglong held his forehead. His three younger brothers and sisters really had their own characteristics. After a dull moment, he poured himself another cup of tea, and the other three returned to their original state, meditating.
Some are sulking, some are sulking, some are playing with jewelry, everyone has his or her own business.
At this moment, a different kind of atmosphere came from outside the palace. Qinglong put down his teacup, Baihu frowned and stared, Xuanwu opened his eyes, and Suzaku put away his jewelry. They seemed to attach great importance to this visitor.
"Here we come." As soon as the young man in long coat finished speaking, a child wearing a dark green Taoist robe landed outside the hall. As soon as he landed, he jumped in with his sleeves and robe swinging.
"Lu Zhanyuan from the Zhenwu Dao Hall came to visit."
Qinglongpi stared at the visitor with a dead smile, and said with a smile: "Elder Lu, you are fine."
The kid in Taoist robes laughed, and regardless of what the other party thought, he responded so openly: "You're welcome, you're fine. You're fine, you're welcome."
As soon as Lu Zhanyuan entered the palace, he saw three other people besides the young man in long coat. At this time, the other two were fine. Only Bai Hu locked his aura on him, as if there was some deep hatred between them.
"Why is Lord White Tiger staring at me so bitterly and affectionately? Could it be that the old Taoist has some evil spirits in his body?"
"Haha, you want to take the Xizhou Sword from us in vain, but you are very clever in your calculations." Bai Hu knew very well the purpose of this veteran, which was nothing more than the Xizhou Sword. Her character has always been like this, compared to those who like to bend.
Instead of going around and around to make calculations, she prefers to be straightforward, so she never hides herself when speaking.
Faced with Bai Hu's attack, Lu Zhanyuan was very calm. He replied unhurriedly: "Lord Bai Hu's words are wrong. If the ancient path does not have the Xizhou Sword, how can it be your opponent? After all,
The situation is only in your favor."
After the other party said this, the beautiful woman felt that what the old man said was quite reasonable, but she retorted: "Huh, even if she has the Xizhou Sword, she is not my opponent!"
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake just now. I am here to apologize to the lord. Fellow Taoist White Tiger's killing method is unparalleled. How can that small ancient road be your opponent?"
"Glib tongue." Although this flattery was only average, Bai Hu was still very useful. After the other party said this, she stopped interfering in the matter and left all the power to Brother Qinglong.
Afterwards, Lu Zhanyuan casually found a seat and sat down. The whole process went smoothly, as if he was at home.
Seeing this, the young man in long gown laughed, but did not take up the topic of Xizhou Sword. Instead, he asked the kid in Taoist robe an incomprehensible question: "Did Elder Lu find a candidate?"
After hearing these words, although Lu Zhanyuan looked calm, he was still a little surprised in his heart. He did not expect that the other party had even deduced this.
"Oh? I didn't expect that Fellow Taoist Qinglong's deduction skills would be enhanced again."
Qinglong saw that the other party started to flatter him, so he replied: "Compared to your fortune-telling skills, they are still inferior."
