Chapter 1294: Intervention and Abandonment

“What’s up?”

“Oh, nothing much. My family’s savior is being bullied, so I’m going over to see who has such a big face.”

“Where to?”

“Northeast, Old Linzi.”

“Uh, you’re not planning to get involved in that internal war, are you?”

“You have a problem with that?” Granny Fox turned her head to look at Hooked Nose.

“I don’t mind, as long as I can have a couple of fresh ones?”

“What do you think?”

“That’s no fun…” Hooked Nose lost interest and leaned back in his chair.

“You’ve already transformed, can’t you make your nose look a bit normal? Whose normal nose looks like that?”

“What do you know, woman? This nose is the most handsome.” Hooked Nose immediately retorted.

But when he turned his head and saw Granny Fox’s expression wasn’t quite right, he quickly added.

“It’s a… oh, a difference in aesthetic appreciation. You can’t appreciate it, but we all think it’s great.”

Granny Fox glared at Hooked Nose and said nothing more.

She really couldn’t understand or appreciate it.

However, since she’d invited someone to help this time, she thought about it and said.

“If you find anything that needs clearing out during the fight, and you happen to accidentally swallow a limb or two of someone on your menu, I guess no one would say anything.”

Hearing this, Hooked Nose immediately perked up.

“Alright, alright! I’ve eaten too much wild boar meat lately. I just want to change my taste.”

“Remember, no eating people.”

“I never eat people. Eating people makes you dumb.”

“Hmm?” Granny Fox was startled, what kind of strange statement was that?

“Didn’t you see the article I shared in my friend circle?”

“I never look at friend circles.” Granny Fox replied calmly.

“I recently read an article by an expert saying that creatures at the end of the food chain accumulate the entire chain’s pollution, heavy metals, pesticides, additives, all sorts of stuff, all Class 1, 2, 3 carcinogens. Causing cancer is nothing; often it even affects intelligence. I didn’t care at first, but later it said humans are also at the end of the food chain. So I thought, no wonder those who eat people are all dumb. Luckily, I don’t eat people. I have my spiritual intelligence now; it’s not easy, you know.”

“…” Granny Fox wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say.

“What? Am I not right?”

“You’re right…”

Granny Fox didn’t want to argue with Lao Golden Eagle. Although the process seemed flawed, the conclusion was more or less correct.

These days, demons that still eat people indeed must be lacking in brains.

She had enlisted Lao Golden Eagle precisely with a brawl in mind.

Because in the two factions in the Northeast, most are on Lao Golden Eagle’s menu…

This natural suppression works well no matter how you look at it.

…

In the underground building, Inverted Triangle Eyes was still confined here, not allowed to go out, and he lacked the key spellcasting materials he needed for many things.

He sat alone brooding over a book, while Flower Hair came down from upstairs.

Flower Hair brought some snacks and a pot of wine, sitting across from Inverted Triangle Eyes.

“Just got some news, it seems the Yellow Immortal Child from the Pure Faction is having some issues. Heard that some of their power got consumed out of nowhere without doing anything.”

“What kind of consumption?” Inverted Triangle Eyes was slightly stunned and immediately asked.

“Like they bestowed some blessing on someone, didn’t consume their essence, but it takes them time to recover.”

Hearing this, the first thing Inverted Triangle Eyes thought of was Wen Yan, whom he had seen in the Old Dream.

“Wasn’t it consumed in the Old Dream?”

“How would it be consumed in the Old Dream?” Flower Hair casually asked while pouring wine for both.

“That’s possible since that guy, in particular, is quite special.” Inverted Triangle Eyes replied vaguely.

“It’s indeed possible. That guy just suddenly appeared back then, must have gotten some recognition, maybe it indeed has something to do with the Old Dream.”

“Why have you come to find me this time?” Inverted Triangle Eyes didn’t believe Flower Hair had any idle interest in drinking with him at this moment.

“I want to send you out of Divine Land, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and demons are already interfering with the internal war in Old Linzi. The Scorching Sun Department’s dog noses are catching the scent soon, we’ll definitely lose the operation outside. And that Yellow Immortal Child is likely getting dragged into it as well. You should leave Divine Land first and come back after a couple of years when it’s calmer. Everything’s arranged, head out north, someone will meet you there. Once you’re out, don’t do anything, and definitely don’t trust anyone outside. When it’s quiet down, we’ll bring you back.”

Hearing this, Inverted Triangle Eyes was slightly stunned and asked.

“What about things here?”

“I’ll handle it. The Scorching Sun Department won’t let it go. They’ve already caught quite a few people these days. I need to push out someone significant enough to take the blame. We’ll definitely lose the operation, so we should be ready to abandon it. It’s good timing that a demon intervenes, and that Yellow Immortal Child has their own problems; the odds of them getting dragged down are high. Once they’re dragged down, we can have them take the fall.”

“What about Wen Yan? What do you plan to do?” Inverted Triangle Eyes was still worried about Wen Yan.

“Don’t worry, I’ve made the preparations. I’ll deal with that guy later, but right now, we need to consider how to get ourselves out of this first, and then think about taking that guy down.

And, if I’m not mistaken, that Yellow Immortal’s blessing, it was given to Wen Yan.

Heh, that guy’s blessing isn’t anything good.
