Chapter 577: Chapter 578 Equal Treatment for All
Ji Hu swallowed and finally managed to find his voice. He began cautiously, "Is, is all this real? Is the Taoyuan Clan really that good?"
Qiu Mo nodded emphatically, "Yes! I wouldn’t lie to you!"
Ji Hu’s face turned a myriad of colors as he alternated between indecision and distress.
He had the feeling he was overlooking something and, after some time, he found the words to speak, "Weren’t you all asking about the Sky Fox Clan? Why are you suddenly interested in the tribal land of the Western Ming Deer Clan?"
Impatient, Qiu Mo nearly yanked Ji Hu’s beard, "Didn’t I say we have urgent matters with the Western Ming Deer Tribe? Why are you being so long-winded! Do you really know about them or are you just misleading us?"
Ji Hu cried out in pain.
A serious expression on her face, Xi turned to Qiu Mo and said sternly, "Amo, stop messing around, let go of the tribe leader!"
Pouting, Qiu Mo let go of Ji Hu’s beard with a light hum.
Ji Hu hurriedly waved his hand and chuckled, "It’s okay, it’s always good for young girls to be lively."
Xi smiled at Ji Hu, full of apology.
Suddenly, Su Tang tugged on Gaiyin’s sleeve, "It’s so boring to stay here. let’s go watch the fun!"
Gaiyin nodded, "Okay."
Turning her head, Su Tang looked at Ji Hu with a smile, "Uncle, take your time to consider. I suddenly remembered that we aren’t in that much of a rush."
As she spoke, Su Tang sounded calm and composed, without a hint of pretense.
But that was indeed the case.
Wanting to find the Western Ming Deer Clan was only to persuade them to lend them the Wooden Crystal Stones, they still had to go to the Ten Thousands Beast Country to seek cooperation before they could enter the Wood Immortal Mansion to find what they wanted.
This process was destined to be lengthy and difficult. It wasn’t something that could be finished in a short time, so there was no point in rushing.
Su Tang only realized this after taking a moment to calm down.
Since Ji Hu knew the whereabouts of the Western Ming Deer Clan, and would also need their help, there was nothing to worry about.
Even though he might not want to reveal the whereabouts of the Western Ming Deer Clan at the moment, Su Tang was certain that as long as they offered tempting enough rewards, would Ji Hu stay indifferent?
So, having thought this through, Su Tang felt her spirits lift. She was far from anxious!
On the other hand, Ji Hu was flustered!
He was already on edge because of the survival issues of his tribe. To ensure a better future for his tribe, Ji Hu was wearing himself out.
He did not know the value of the chip in his hand and could only judge based on the benefits offered by Gaiyin and their reaction.
So the confrontation just now was more of a test than a negotiation.
The result of the test was quite satisfactory. Ji Hu felt what he knew was of great value to the leader of the Taoyuan Clan and wanted to strive for more benefits for his people.
However, the sudden change in the attitude of the young Taoyuan girl left him agitated.
Ji Hu stuttered, "Not, not in a hurry? Then, then, you and I ..."
By the time he managed to say that, Su Tang was already outside. She turned back after hearing his voice, "Uncle Ji, once you join us, you’ll be able to see for yourself how good the Taoyuan Clan is. All we can promise you now is fairness. As long as you sincerely work for the Taoyuan Clan, we will never mistreat you!"
With Su Tang laying it all out in the open, Ji Hu’s face flushed with embarrassment!
