Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 861 - 2 Jiaolong’s Long Long
Chapter 861 -2 Jiaolong’s Long Long
As for the intentions of the Xuan Gui Clan, Long Long was not surprised at all.
It was said that in the war with West State, the Kun Race performed extremely poorly, which led to the White Tiger Clan shifting their focus to attacking South State.
Of course, it’s highly unlikely that the Xuan Gui Clan deliberately showed weakness, as they are nearly losing all face in North State… So now they want to take advantage of attending the ceremony to seek help from the Azure Dragon Clan.
However, have they made a mistake by setting their sights on me? You all know that the Azure Dragon Clan will absolutely not allow my bloodline to be taken away.
If I were to have children with Gui Ling’er and they showed traits of the Xuan Gui bloodline, wouldn’t that be gifting a genius to the Xuan Gui Clan for free?
If there ever was a tiny bit of possibility in the past (for example, if the Xuan Gui Clan offered an exorbitant price), it probably doesn’t exist at all after the perfect Tribulation.
How could anyone be foolish enough to let go of a genius cultivator who has swiftly broken through to the Dong Yuan Realm and possesses formidable combat abilities, just for a meager profit?
Long Long thought somewhat boredly, while beside him, Qin Ye looked utterly dismayed.
Long Hu’s invincible strength as a childhood friend goes without saying, but if Gui Ling’er really marries into the family too, could it be that I won’t even be able to keep the second place at home?
Gui Ling’er, consumed by frustration and turmoil, suddenly hears Long Long speak:
“Marriage is not something we can decide on our own; we have no choice but to go along with the clan’s wishes.”
“Exactly!” Gui Ling’er said irritably, “What’s the use of saying all this here!”
“Hmm hmm.” Feng Yan smiled slightly and turned to say to Long Long, “If the Xuan Gui Clan really wants to form an alliance with the Dragon Clan, they will certainly start with you. Be careful not to be swayed by beauty and neglect your duties.”
“From your Highness’s tone, it seems you’re quite worried about the Dragon Clan forming an alliance with North State?” Long Long feigned surprise.
“Naturally.” Feng Yan said earnestly, “While we can’t afford to lose North State, if we unexpectedly defeat Central State and seize the biggest victory, it won’t benefit us at all.”
Gui Ling’er, teeth itching with anger, simply sneered:
“It’s exactly because of our scheming and scruples that we’ve watched the Qilin and White Tiger grow to their current stature!”
“You two stop quarreling.” Qin Ye tried to mediate from the side, “At least we are still allies now, aren’t we?”
Feng Yan and Gui Ling’er ignored her. After all, although the three clans were officially allies, they each had their own conflicting interests. Saying such naive words was simply unrealistic.
The Xuan Gui Clan, because of their support for the Qilin prince, was firmly an “anti-Central State faction”; the Azure Dragon Clan, due to less significant interest involvement, was an “opportunistic faction”, siding with whoever offered more benefits.
The situation in South State’s Vermilion Bird was even more complicated. Inside, there were those who, after a long war with the Qilin, harbored deep-seated anti-Central State sentiment, and those like Feng Yan who were not blinded by hatred and considered only the pros and cons of opportunities.
The argument between Feng Yan and Gui Ling’er perfectly reflected the biggest divergence within the alliance of the three clans, based on their interests and stances, and not so easily resolvable.
“What an ugly scene.” Qi Yingzhu’s voice came from afar, “Just upon arrival, seeing you all with your hidden agendas is simply nauseating.”
“Why have you come?” Long Long asked in surprise.
Qi Yingzhu stared at him silently, not speaking.
Gaze.
After a moment, she sneered and said:
“I am one of the emissaries from Central State this time.”
“I see.” Feng Yan laughed and said, “It seems the White Tiger Divine General did not dare to show his face, so he sent his little disciple over.”
“Additionally, to reassess your threat level.” Qi Yingzhu said coldly, “From what I see now, it’s nothing to worry about.”
“I truly pity your father,” Gui Ling’er suddenly said.
This statement was so devastating that Qi Yingzhu’s face changed in an instant: clearly, she was not entirely ignorant about her own bloodline.
But she quickly regained her composure, and indifferently said:
“Qi Qiaosong is indeed born of my Imperial Father and is the legitimate heir. Qi Weihong is nothing but a puppet and has no chance of ascending to the highest position.”
“From a certain perspective, I agree with His Highness Feng Yan’s statement. If North State prevails in this war, it would be no good news for the other four clans.”
“Hmph.” Feng Yan let out a laugh, the intent of which was unclear—whether it was sarcastic or something else—and said, “If I had to choose between the two, I would rather see North State triumph than witness West State dominating.”
“Let’s wait and see,” Qi Yingzhu seemed to lose the interest to continue the verbal sparring and instead turned to Long Long, “I have something to discuss with you alone.”
“What for?” Before Long Long could answer, the other three people uniformly objected.
“What’s it to you?” Qi Yingzhu asked in surprise.
“Long Long, do not be bewitched by beauty, think of her identity!” Gui Ling’er hastily said.
“Long Long, no matter what she wants to discuss with you, it must certainly be under the White Tiger Divine General’s orders,” Feng Yan said calmly, “Take care not to be fooled.”
“Long Long, if you do something to let us down, I’m going to tell Sister Long Hu!” Qin Ye also issued a threat.
Long Long: ………
Can you all not talk as if she’s confessing to me?
After reconfirming that Qi Yingzhu showed no abnormal expression on her face (neither shy nor admiring), Long Long became even more certain that her request to talk was not about discussing matrimony.
Besides, the White Tiger Divine General should also be aware that the Azure Dragon Clan would not possibly allow him to enter into a marriage alliance with an outsider.
“Don’t worry,” he then reassured everyone, “As the host, it would be laughable not to accept an invitation from a guest. After all, this is Eastern State’s territory!”
Consequently, the three of them were at a loss for words.
Indeed, it would seem rather unreasonable to be afraid to respond to a private conversation in one’s own territory, like showing fear to the other party.
Seeing that no one was stopping him anymore, Long Long waved his hand and followed Qi Yingzhu to a side hall.
Qi Yingzhu closed the door and said seriously:
“What I’m about to tell you is a message from my master himself, listen well.”
“Oh?” Long Long responded nonchalantly, “What guidance does the White Tiger Divine General have for me?”
“My master said, the last assassination attempt was not orchestrated by him,” Qi Yingzhu stared at Long Long, her eyes revealing a cat-like vertical slit.
“And then?”

“My master also said, if it were the Long Long of the Azure Dragon Clan, there might not be a future possibility of cooperation with us, but for the Long Long of the Jiaolong Clan, it might not be the case.”
Long Long: ………
Damn, worthy of being the White Tiger Divine General!
Although he had never had a face-to-face conversation with him, the Divine General nearly instantly discerned the biggest conflict between Long Long and the Azure Dragon Clan, and found the most appropriate point of entry:
The source of Long Long’s bloodline was not from the Azure Dragon, but from the Jiaolong!
