"Regardless of whether you understand or not, what you understand, it’s best to leave quickly and stop thinking about this matter."
Xu Fang looked at Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin and gave them the order to leave.
"Don't worry, you have shown me kindness. If you face any difficulties in the future, I will not stand idly by. Farewell!"
Xu Fang waved his hand, intending to leave with the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, wait! Rest assured, we will no longer mention the matter that made Fellow Daoist Xu Fang difficult."
Mo Qilin grabbed Xu Fang, and Yu Qilin also came forward, sincerely apologizing to Xu Fang.
"Don't worry, we know we were presumptuous just now and almost harmed Fellow Daoist Xu Fang."
Xu Fang looked at the sincere Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin and felt a bit embarrassed.
"In fact, it was just a bit difficult, not harmful. You're exaggerating."
It was truly asking too much for Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin to ask him to help the Qilin clan.
However, it only made Xu Fang feel troubled, and calling it harmful was a bit too much. Xu Fang was naturally unwilling to blame them harshly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin exchanged glances and nodded repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang truly possesses noble character and high integrity. We are impressed!"
"Yes, after we did what we did, you still magnanimously forgave us. You have such a broad mind!"
Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin praised him, while Xu Fang, the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, and Ao Xue looked at them with question marks.
What exactly were these two talking about?
Just as Xu Fang was about to speak with them properly, Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin raised their hands to stop him and said.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, there's no need to say more. We will act just as the Dragon and Phoenix clans do."
"Indeed, we will leave immediately. Everything is up to Fellow Daoist Xu Fang!"
Xu Fang became even more confused upon hearing this. What did it mean to act like the Dragon and Phoenix clans? What did it mean that everything was up to him? Couldn't they let him speak!
Why did he feel like there was a huge communication barrier between them!
However, before Xu Fang could speak, Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin finished speaking and immediately flew away, returning to the Qilin clan members and whispering among themselves.
"Senior, what did you say to them just now? I heard every word, but I still don't understand. What exactly were you talking about?"
The Golden-winged Great Peng Bird asked, and Ao Xue also looked confused.
"Yes, I can't figure out when your conversation went off track."
Xu Fang looked at them and shook his head.
"You two, both like hidden dragons and phoenixes, don't understand, right? I don't understand either!"
Xu Fang sighed and looked towards the Qilin clan, truly unable to comprehend what Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin had said afterwards.
Sensing Xu Fang's gaze, Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin also looked over. After exchanging a glance with Xu Fang, they said.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, rest assured, everything has been arranged properly."
"Yes, the remaining matters are entrusted to Fellow Daoist Xu Fang!"
As Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin spoke, they bowed to Xu Fang from a distance. The Qilin clan behind them also bowed to Xu Fang, appearing extremely respectful.
"Wait! You..."
Xu Fang spoke, intending to have a clear and unambiguous conversation with them. At this moment, after the Qilin clan finished bowing, they said nothing more and, led by Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin, departed towards the distant horizon.
Xu Fang's gaze followed them as they disappeared from sight, filled with regret and disappointment.
"To this day, we still don't understand what they understood."
Xu Fang lamented, but it was fine as long as they could leave.
However, things clearly wouldn't go as Xu Fang wished.
"Senior, there's still a Qilin remnant here. No, a Fellow Daoist Qilin!"
"They left in such a hurry, how could they have left one behind!"
The words of the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue drew Xu Fang's attention back. He looked in the direction they were pointing and indeed saw a small Qilin standing there, bewildered, at the place where the Qilin clan had been.
"These guys are really unreliable. This time, I have to escort them back."
Xu Fang shook his head, contemplating how to return this stranded young Qilin to the Qilin clan.
Seeing Xu Fang and the others looking over, the young Qilin gathered some courage and walked towards them.
"Greetings, Senior Xu Fang! Please guide me more in the future!"
"!"
Hearing the childish words of the young Qilin, Xu Fang, the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, and Ao Xue were all startled.
The title of Senior Xu Fang was appropriate, and Xu Fang deserved it. But what did "please guide me more in the future" mean?
So, this little fellow wasn't just lagging behind, but intended to follow the three of them?
At this moment, Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin looked back at Penglai Immortal Island, sighing with emotion.
"Indeed, I said this Fellow Daoist Xu Fang was not simple and had the potential to help the three races rise! Our guess was correct!"
"Yes, this trip was truly worthwhile!"
Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin lamented to each other. Their guess was indeed correct; this Xu Fang was extraordinary and had the potential to help the three races rise!
Although he denied it at first.
But in the end, he couldn't resist their sincerity and finally relented.
"It's also our fault for not thinking carefully. How could such a major matter be spoken of openly!"
"Yes, fortunately, we realized Fellow Daoist Xu Fang's words in time, otherwise we would have truly harmed this fellow Daoist!"
Xu Fang was worn down by them and, unable to bear disappointing their sincerity, finally revealed the relationship with the Heavenly Dao and explained his concerns.
Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin immediately understood when they heard these words, why Xu Fang did not directly help the Dragon and Phoenix clans but kept the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue by his side.
After all, the karmic entanglement here was too great. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans were being punished by the Heavenly Dao.
Even if Fellow Daoist Xu Fang had the potential to help the three races rise again, he could only do so through subtle influence, educating the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird and Ao Xue, and thereby helping the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
"I hope the little Qilin does not let us down!"
"Don't worry, with Xu Fang here, everything will be fine!"
Mo Qilin and Yu Qilin looked back at Penglai Immortal Island, somewhat relieved for the time being.
Under Xu Fang's guidance, they had also selected a clan member to follow Xu Fang.
Regardless of the future outcome, at least the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans were on the same track. The Qilin clan had finally caught up with the steps of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
Now, all hope was placed on Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, hoping he could help the Qilin clan rise. Even if not to suppress the Dragon and Phoenix clans, at least not to be surpassed by them!
