"But Xiaoyu, you know, I have gone through untold hardships and now I have finally succeeded in being promoted to an immortal, and also transformed into a nine-tailed fox. Now that's good, I finally have enough ability to go find Senior Brother Zitong." Jiaojiao's face was filled with irrepressible joy and her eyes were sparkling with excitement. As she spoke, she gently swung the nine gorgeous fox tails behind her, as if showing off her hard-earned achievements.

"Yes, sister, this is great! We have always wanted to find out what Bai Zhi did, and now we will soon get our wish." Xiaoyu's face was also full of joy. Her lively eyes revealed a hint of eagerness and anticipation. She was excited at the thought of uncovering those secrets that had been hidden for a long time.

"That's right, we have to hurry back to Qingqiu. Do you remember when we came out of Qingqiu a few days ago? Didn't you say that Bai Zhi asked Zheyan to send Bai Qian to Kunlun Ruins to become a disciple? I think there might be some key clues hidden in it. We have to hurry back to collect evidence and can't let Bai Zhi continue to conceal it." As Jiaojiao spoke, she quickened her pace, and her flowing clothes fluttered gently, as if she was also eager for the upcoming action.

After Xiaoyu and Jiaojiao hurried out of the dreamlike place of Bihai Cangling, they did not stop for a moment. They rushed straight towards Qingqiu with all their strength as if the wind was running.

They were seen dancing in the wind with their graceful figures and fluttering clothes, like two colorful butterflies eager to go to an important date. Xiaoyu's lively eyes showed determination as she followed Jiaojiao closely, looking back from time to time, as if alert to whether anything would catch up and delay the trip.

As for Jiaojiao, she looked solemn and anxious, with nine gorgeous fox tails swaying gently behind her, as if to help her hurry on the road. As she walked quickly, she secretly thought about how to collect evidence after returning to Qingqiu. Her tightly pursed lips revealed her anxiety at the moment. Along the way, flowers, plants and trees flew past them quickly, as if they were making way for the two hurried girls, hoping that they could arrive in Qingqiu as soon as possible and uncover the secrets that had been hidden for a long time.

As for Emperor Donghua, the Bi Hai Cang Ling is the sacred place where he was born. The connection between the two is inextricable, as if there is an invisible bond that closely connects the emperor to this homeland, and the bond between them is so deep that it is difficult to break.

While Jiaojiao was struggling to survive the thunderstorm elsewhere, Emperor Donghua, who was far away in Taichen Palace, felt a subtle sensation in his heart. It was like a breeze blowing across the lake of his heart, creating layers of imperceptible ripples.

As luck would have it, the Supreme God Zheyan was in Taichen Palace at that time. Zheyan's face was filled with indignation, his eyes were wide open, his cheeks were puffed, and he was pulling at the sleeve of Emperor Donghua, vomiting bitterly. His mouth was like a flood that had been opened, and he was ranting about Bai Zhi's actions, one by one, with such passion that his saliva was flying everywhere, splashing around like a small "saliva rain".

As for Emperor Donghua, although he had a sense of something strange in his heart, he was tripped up by Zheyan's impetuous and eloquent speech. He frowned, and although he was a little worried, he could only suppress the subtle feeling in his heart for the time being, just like pushing a small stone that had just surfaced back to the bottom of the water, and just focus on the confession of Zheyan, the Supreme God in front of him.

In Taichen Palace, Supreme God Zheyan's face was flushed red as he complained to Emperor Donghua, his words full of uncontrollable resentment.

"Donghua, please listen to me carefully. Bai Zhi is really a cunning old fox! Humph, he has really tricked me this time." Zheyan said as he paced back and forth in the hall angrily, the exquisite fan in his hand whirring as he waved it, as if he was venting his resentment.

"He actually asked me to take his naughty and mischievous Xiaowu, also known as Bai Qian, to Kunlun Ruins to become Mo Yuan's apprentice. What kind of thing is this!" Zhe Yan stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "I was living a free and unrestrained life, but he just messed it up like this."

Zhe Yan frowned and continued, "Just think about it, what kind of personality does Bai Qian have? She was in a mess along the way. She looked around and was extremely curious about everything, just like a bird that had just been out of a cage. She was restless. Along the way, I had to be on guard against her from getting into trouble, and I had to think hard about how to send her to Kunlun Ruins smoothly. Is it easy for me?"

Having said this, Zheyan sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a big gulp, as if trying to suppress the anger in his heart, but the anger was still rising.

"That's not all, Donghua. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Bai Zhi is setting a trap for me and Mo Yuan!" Zhe Yan put down his teacup, his expression becoming more and more excited. "He is too lazy to discipline his unlearned Xiao Wu, so he wants to find a powerful person to do it. Hey, he set his sights on Lord Mo Yuan, thinking that he can discipline Bai Qian. But he just threw this hot potato to me and asked me to take it. Isn't it obvious that he is pushing me into the fire pit?"

Zheyan stood up and began to pace in the hall again, speaking faster and faster: "Besides, Mo Yuan is a very important person. He is always very strict in accepting disciples. With Bai Qian's current appearance, who knows how much trouble she will cause when she arrives at Kunlun Ruins. If Mo Yuan is displeased, where will I put my face? Bai Zhi, this old fox, is really calculating. He completely disregarded the feelings of Mo Yuan and me and just got the job done. Humph!" Zheyan said while glaring at the front, as if Bai Zhi was standing in front of him at this moment, just waiting for Emperor Donghua to agree with him so that his complaints could be calmed down a little.

"You agree?" Emperor Donghua didn't even raise his eyelids, but just fiddled with the teacup in his hand. His tone was so calm, as if he was talking about today's weather, but there was an unquestionable force in his words, as if as long as Zheyan dared to say "promise", something extraordinary would happen in the next moment.

"Not yet! Didn't you specifically remind me before that I must not be impulsive, so as not to accidentally alert the enemy? I kept it in mind, so I just responded with a few ambiguous words and didn't give a definite answer at all." Supreme God Zheyan frowned, with a look of helplessness on his face. He waved the fan in his hand as he spoke. The frequency of the fan was a few points faster than usual, as if this could blow away the depression in his heart.

"Then let's just get it over with. You haven't agreed yet, so why are you jumping up and down here and annoying me for no reason?" Emperor Donghua finally raised his eyelids and glanced at Zheyan. His eyes were full of disgust and helplessness, as if Zheyan's behavior at the moment was so stupid and ridiculous that even he, a bystander, couldn't bear to watch it.

“How can I not be angry? Bai Zhi is clearly treating me like a fool!” When the Supreme God Zhe Yan heard this, he immediately exploded, his face flushed red, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notes. He slammed the fan in his hand with a "snap" and slammed it on the table angrily, "He is so good, hiding behind and having nothing to do, leaving me to do these thankless tasks, and making a fool of me!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Donghua sneered, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and full of sarcasm. "You, you have been a fool for a long time. Why do you have to wait until now to be treated as a fool? Don't you think about how much merit Bai Zhi has cheated you of over the years, but you are still unaware of it. Is there anyone in the world as gullible as you? No wonder Bai Zhi always picks on you. Your brain has probably been clouded by the so-called friendship. You can't even see the most basic calculations. You are really stupid." Emperor Donghua's words were so merciless that they choked the God Zheyan so much that he couldn't speak for a long time. He could only stare with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, as if he realized for the first time that he was like this in the eyes of Emperor Donghua.

"Donghua, what you said is too much!" Zheyan's face flushed with arrogance, and the fan in his hand kept opening and closing, making a "pa pa" sound. "I admit that I used to be a little stupid and did things without thinking, but haven't I changed now? This time I let Bai Zhi cheat me of my merits, it wasn't that I was fooled by him, I did it on purpose, okay? I did this in order to catch Bai Zhi's braid and thoroughly figure out his sneaky deeds! But you had to stab me twice at this time and rub salt into my wounds. Are you like this?" Zheyan became more and more depressed as he spoke, and his brows were almost twisted into a knot.

"Hmph, they are all idiots." Emperor Donghua was still as sharp-tongued as ever. His tone was light, but it seemed as if every word was filled with thorns that could hurt people. He didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, but just fiddled with the teacup in his hand nonchalantly, as if the angry Zheyan in front of him was not worthy of his attention at all.

"Who is the idiot? Don't generalize! I only take care of the fox clan because of Zi Ning. If it weren't for this relationship, I wouldn't bother with their business!" When Supreme God Zheyan heard what Donghua said, he became even more furious. His chest heaved violently, his eyes widened, and he almost rushed up to argue with Emperor Donghua.

"That's what I'm talking about." Emperor Donghua then raised his eyelids and gave Zheyan a cold look, "Zi Ning has been missing for tens of thousands of years, but we still haven't found any substantial clues. Isn't this stupid?"

"What do you mean?" Supreme God Zheyan didn't react at once and stood there in a daze. The anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by a look of confusion. He stopped opening and closing the fan in his hand, staring at Emperor Donghua, waiting for his next explanation.

"The fox clan has always respected the ten-tailed purple fox. This has been the rule since ancient times. When did it become the nine-tailed fox?" Emperor Donghua narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and asked the Supreme God Zheyan in return. His eyes seemed to say, you didn't even notice such an obvious problem, what else can you do but be stupid.

"This... wasn't it given to Bai Zhi by Zi Ning when she left?" An expression of disbelief appeared on the face of Supreme God Zhe Yan. He opened his mouth slightly, and his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees. He had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that things seemed not as simple as he had previously thought.

“Then why give this respected right to a white fox instead of to other members of the fox clan who are also purple foxes? Moreover, the purple pupil also disappeared. Have you never thought about the strangeness in this?” The words of Emperor Donghua were like heavy hammers, hitting the heart of Supreme God Zheyan again and again, forcing him to re-examine the various things that have happened to the fox clan over the years.

"Yes, why is it Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox?" Zheyan seemed to be suddenly awakened and reacted at once. There was a hint of shock in his eyes, and he thought to himself, could it be that he had been kept in the dark all these years and overlooked too many important details?

"Yes, it seems that many things have been wrong over the years." Supreme God Zhe Yan frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He paced slowly, the fan in his hand waving unconsciously, as if he was recalling the neglected details of the past.

"Have you reacted?" Emperor Donghua picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked indifferent. His tone was still neither salty nor bland, but with a hint of subtle deep meaning.

"In recent years, I have not heard of the purple fox bloodline, nor the ten-tailed celestial fox. The nine-tailed fox is the most respected." Supreme God Zheyan stopped, his eyes full of confusion and doubt. He raised his head slightly, as if thinking about the strangeness of it. "When did all these changes begin? Why didn't we notice the abnormality?"

"Hmm." Emperor Donghua only said softly, in response to the emotion of Supreme God Zheyan. His eyes were deep and far-reaching, as if he could penetrate the mist of time and see the truth buried by the years.

"And Yaoguang and I." There was a hint of self-blame and regret in the tone of Supreme God Zheyan. "I didn't go to the bird tribe to take care of the younger generation of the bird tribe, but went to take care of the fox tribe. Over the years, I accepted the luck and support of the bird tribe, but I didn't fulfill my due responsibilities. And Yaoguang, as the war god of the thirty-six tribes of the Celestial Clan, should have galloped on the battlefield and defended the country, but he only knew how to talk about love. We all deviated from our own track unknowingly and forgot our mission and responsibility." Supreme God Zheyan sighed, his heart full of guilt and uneasiness. He knew that what he had done over the years was really unworthy of the trust and expectations of the bird tribe. And Yaoguang's loss of mind also made him feel deeply sorry. He couldn't help but secretly reflect in his heart, what happened between him and Yaoguang? Why did he become so confused?
