Chapter 975 - 973: Visiting as a Guest
"Hehe, wouldn’t the Sect Leader invite us in for a sit?" Cheng Biao was more adept at communication; after all, he was experienced and handled matters smoothly.
"Haha, of course, please come in... Someone, prepare a feast, I want to properly entertain the esteemed guests from the Five Elements Sect." Thunder Marquis called out to a servant.
"Yes, Sect Leader."
A servant received the order and left, presumably to notify the kitchen to start preparing.
After entering the hall, it was naturally much cooler with air conditioning, while Chen Tianlong, holding the transformed Divine Dog, stood beside Cheng Biao and Cheng Yiyi like a servant. The two of them were seated.
"Young brother, you should sit down too."
Thunder Marquis noticed that Chen Tianlong was unfamiliar, but since he was from the Five Elements Sect, with the two families intending to form an alliance, he couldn’t be too dismissive of a servant.
"No need, I prefer standing."
Chen Tianlong, holding the Divine Dog, was searching for Lin Wushuang and wasn’t in the mood to sit and chat with them.
Cheng Yiyi’s visit was mostly a pretext to break off an engagement; the main task was to help Chen Tianlong blend into the Qilin Tribe.
"Haha, young people are different, preferring to stand. Well then, how about this, I’ll have someone show you around our Qilin Tribe. Standing still is still standing, after all."
Thunder Marquis had already presumed Chen Tianlong was a servant and said this on purpose.
The important figures naturally didn’t want their conversation to be overheard by servants.
Thunder Marquis’s words suited Chen Tianlong’s intentions. He was wondering what excuse to use to stroll in the courtyard to look for Lin Wushuang, and now it was all settled.
"Alright, I’ll go have a look, take a tour of the Qilin Tribe." Chen Tianlong said blandly, not showing much excitement.
With that, Chen Tianlong, holding the Divine Dog, walked out. Since the Divine Dog hadn’t transformed, its Powerful Qi Wave couldn’t be sensed, so naturally, they wouldn’t suspect it was a formidable dog.
A moment later, Chen Tianlong was being shown around by a servant. After strolling for a short while, Chen Tianlong stopped and said, "Brother, you can go back now. I’ll walk around on my own. I seem to have been here before; it feels familiar, so there’s no need to trouble you."
"Oh, I see. Well, then, I’ll take my leave." The servant was eager to leave and go eat; the weather was too hot, and there was no interest in walking around with a man.
"Yes, you may go."
Chen Tianlong waved his hand with a slight smile and headed forward on his own.
Watching Chen Tianlong merely look at the scenery along the way, the servant smiled, thinking there was nothing else to do, and went back to his own activities.
As soon as the servant left, Chen Tianlong put the Divine Dog down, and it started following the scent swiftly with Chen Tianlong trailing behind.
About five minutes later, the Divine Dog stopped at a three-story building, which was a guest house, with two servants standing outside, presumably to guard the building.
Chen Tianlong hid nearby behind the flower bed, observing the surroundings.
Chen Tianlong used his farsight and X-ray abilities to search for Lin Wushuang. Sure enough, on the third floor of the building, Chen Tianlong finally saw a piece of Lin Wushuang’s clothing hanging there. It was certain that Lin Wushuang was nearby.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong, holding the Divine Dog, began to approach the guest house. Of course, he couldn’t kill or knock out the servants, as that would arouse suspicion.
So Chen Tianlong finally decided to sneak in quietly.
"Woof woof..."
At this moment, the Divine Dog barked twice, startling the two guards. They looked over and saw a little dog, piquing their interest.
The Qilin Tribe didn’t keep dogs, so seeing a little dog was indeed rare.
The two hurried over, wanting to catch the Divine Dog, but it wasn’t that easy. The Divine Dog wasn’t an ordinary little dog; its agility was beyond what these two could handle.
But acting had to be convincing; the Divine Dog pretended to hide pitifully in the grass, luring them over. However, every time they lunged, it dodged right away, leaving them very frustrated.
Meanwhile, as the two servants were busy catching the dog, Chen Tianlong quietly sneaked into the house. Seeing the task completed, the Divine Dog had no interest in playing with the two idiots any longer; it was indeed a Divine Dog, not a pet.
With a "whoosh," the Divine Dog dashed into the grass and disappeared.
In no time, it appeared in the building, and Chen Tianlong, holding it, smiled slightly, "Divine Dog, not bad, you’re smart."
The man and dog quickly searched the floor but found only two maids, no one else.
Feeling a bit disappointed, Chen Tianlong noted that the Divine Dog responded again, this time quite vigorously.
"Divine Dog, did you find Lin Wushuang?"
Seeing the Divine Dog’s reaction, Chen Tianlong hurriedly asked.
The Divine Dog nodded, then led Chen Tianlong out. Going downstairs was easier; Chen Tianlong simply held the Divine Dog and leaped down from the third floor.
After jumping down, Chen Tianlong didn’t immediately stand up but observed his surroundings. As expected, the two previous guards, hearing a "thud," walked over to check.
But Chen Tianlong, holding the Divine Dog, was already hidden. After a quick check showed nothing, they returned to their posts.
After taking a deep breath, under the Divine Dog’s guidance, Chen Tianlong quickly moved in another direction.
There were quite a few maidens here, and in a rather luxurious boudoir, he finally saw Lin Wushuang.
The weather was clearly tropical, feeling a bit warm, but since it was the Fire Domain and the Qilin Tribe chose a cooler place, probably near Ice Extreme Town, it wasn’t too hot.
"So Wushuang is here, that’s great." Chen Tianlong was overjoyed and was about to enter the room.
At this moment, a group of maidens dispersed, and someone walked in—none other than the Qilin Tribe’s Young Sect Master, Thunder Wolf.
Though Thunder Wolf’s strength was mediocre, he had a penchant for beauty.
When the Qilin Tribe’s Fire-Exploring Divine Furnace sensed a Fire Element inheritor approaching and confirmed the location in Ice Extreme Town, Thunder Wolf sent his men to investigate, ultimately targeting Lin Wushuang.
However, after capturing her, he felt unsure.
But since she was caught, whether or not she was the one had to be left to Thunder Wolf’s discretion.
Despite not being the strongest, Thunder Wolf, as the Young Sect Master of the Qilin Tribe, held power and was quite formidable.
"You all withdraw; I’ll have a chat with the beauty."
Thunder Wolf, looking at Lin Wushuang in front of him, was nearly drooling. When his men reported capturing a beauty from Ice Extreme Town, he hadn’t believed their description of her appearance. But seeing her today, it was a delightful surprise.
