The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 651 Internal Strife

“What do you two think?”

After Hong Guan finished his proposal, he looked at Jiao and Hei Pi with a questioning gaze.

As for that big centipede, his strength was low and his status wasn't high either, so his opinion didn't matter at all.

Jiao was Hong Guan's loyal supporter, and immediately nodded in agreement with Hong Guan's proposal, "Whatever Lao Hong says is fine with me, I have no objections. But next time we have to discuss where to go properly. Some people better not participate."

As he spoke, Jiao glanced sideways at Hei Pi, clearly targeting him.

"Stinky ox, what do you mean by that?"

Hei Pi was young and vigorous, and his anger could no longer be suppressed, "Are you saying that this failure is all my fault? Let me tell you, I won't take the blame!"

"You won't?"

Jiao sneered, "If you don't, who will? Stinky fox, I'm warning you, don't think that just because Lord Yao Zun adopted you as a godson, you have the right to talk loudly in front of me. If you're not convinced, let's have a fight!"

So this Hei Pi was actually a fox!

Moreover, this fox had a big background, actually being the godson of that Yao Zun guy.

"Fight then, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Hei Pi was full of fighting spirit, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to have a big fight with Jiao.

"Alright, alright, I told you not to have internal strife, what's wrong with you two? Jiao, you're so old, why are you acting like a child?"

Seeing that the two were too angry, Hong Guan once again played the role of peacemaker, "Hei Pi, do you have any different opinions on my proposal? If you do, just say it. Although I'm the most senior among the three of us, I never engage in one-man rule. I still like to listen to the opinions of young people."

Hearing this, the big centipede almost cried, are you really not treating me like a human being!

And Hei Pi seemed to be waiting for Hong Guan's words, he immediately said, "Brother Hong Guan, let me state in advance that I don't have any objections to your proposal. I just feel that Qianzhu suffered a loss at the hands of humans this time. If we sit idly by, we might hurt the hearts of our subordinates."

"Hei Pi, what do you mean by that?"

Hong Guan narrowed his eyes, his gaze still sharp, and his voice became much shriller.

"What I mean is, we suffered a loss, we have to get back at them... Of course we have to leave, but before we leave, we have to make our demon race's name known, so that we can truly alleviate the pressure on the Northern Border demon army."

"Otherwise, if we stir up trouble without making a significant impact, it won't attract the attention of humans!"

Hei Pi said passionately.

Among the three, he seemed to be a radical.

Jiao's face was gloomy, but he seemed to have heard Hei Pi's words, and was thinking seriously.

However, Hong Guan sneered, "Hei Pi, tell me, what are you really planning?"

"Brother Hong Guan, what could I be planning? Everything I do is for the sake of our demon race!"

Hei Pi said with a clear conscience.

"Hmph, stop pretending! You've lived with humans for so long, how could you not understand the strength of humans?"

Hong Guan said sinisterly, "The experts that Qianzhu encountered are rare among humans. We can completely avoid their锋芒 (feng mang, sharp edge), but you insist on mentioning revenge. You still say you're considering for the demon race? I think you want to take the opportunity to escape!"

"Hong Guan, you're talking nonsense! Lord Yao Zun is my adoptive father, I'm loyal to him. Why do you say I want to run?"

"I think you're cowardly and afraid of trouble. If the demon race is full of cowards like you, how can we talk about rejuvenation?"

Hei Pi spoke righteously, his face flushed with excitement.

"Damn it, you little brat, how dare you talk to Lao Hong like that, you're asking for death! Don't think that just because Lord Yao Zun is backing you up, I wouldn't dare to touch you!"

Jiao was so angry that he snorted, and with a force, the muscles on his body bulged.

With a tearing sound, the already tight suit was completely torn apart.

Qi circulated on his fist, as long as Hong Guan gave the order, he would attack Hei Pi.

"Hmph!"

Hong Guan snorted disdainfully, "Forget it, Jiao, don't bother with this little brat. Whether we leave or stay is up to me, it's not his turn to decide. I'll give you five minutes to pack your things, and leave Jiang City immediately!"

In fact, it was still necessary to have one-man rule, why listen to other people's opinions, what do they know!

Five minutes were about to pass quickly, Hei Pi was so anxious that his eyes were rolling around, but he still couldn't think of a way to stay.

Mainly because Hong Guan and Jiao didn't believe him at all, even if he came up with a better argument, he couldn't convince them.

"Let's go, Hei Pi, let the past be the past, I won't hold it against you, but if you dare to do anything else behind my back, I don't mind letting you see the methods of the old guys!"

Hong Guan's words were barbed, Hei Pi sighed silently, the opportunity had been missed, it seemed he had no choice but to give up.

The big centipede opened the door, and was about to walk out when he heard a bang, not knowing what he bumped into, he was directly bounced back and sat on the ground.

"Qianzhu, what's going on?"

Jiao frowned and asked.

The big centipede looked blank, pointed to the door and said, "There, there seems to be someone..."

"Someone?"

Jiao and Hong Guan immediately became alert.

At this time, Chen Xiao's figure gradually emerged at the door, looking at them with a malicious smile.

"Gentlemen, are you leaving so soon? You came all the way to my Jiang City to cause trouble, and I haven't had a chance to properly entertain you yet, how can you just leave?"

Jiao and Hong Guan were suddenly shocked, Hong Guan stared at the big centipede, and said fiercely, "Qianzhu, what's going on, didn't you say no one was following you!"

"I, I don't know either..."

The big centipede looked blank, he was very sure that no one was following him when he came back.

But what was going on with this person?

"Who are you? When were you here?"

Jiao asked in a muffled voice.

"Lord Jiao, I remember now, he, he is the person I saw in the cafeteria before, and then I fainted..."

The big centipede obviously didn't understand what was going on.

He still didn't realize that the person who knocked him out was actually Chen Xiao.

However, Hong Guan was an experienced veteran, and immediately guessed it, and determined that this human was an expert!

"Hehe, we are just passing by your noble territory, we didn't mean to disturb you, please raise your hand and let us leave, we guarantee that we will never step into Jiang City again in this lifetime!"

In an instant, Hong Guan made a compromise decision, not wanting to have a head-on conflict with this expert.

However, before he finished speaking, he heard a surprised voice from behind him, "Dad, I've finally waited for you!"
