Chapter 155: 116. I think he is the real old fox (3.2K words - subscription requested)

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed...

In a dimly lit palace, a conversation is taking place.

"Disappeared? How come we can’t find any trace of him anywhere?"

"Don’t worry, we’ve already sent many young foxes to infiltrate major forces across the Three Kingdoms, including commerce associations, gangs, the government, and even the marketplace—all are covered.

As for the desolate wilderness, haven’t we tried searching there in teams multiple times? Let’s keep looking; there must be some clues left behind."

"That boy really has patience. I thought he would come to ambush us, so I deliberately left an opportunity for him, but it turned out to be all for nothing."

"Patience? It’s cunning! If he weren’t crafty, how could he elude Hu Zhenzhen, making her search everywhere without finding him?"

"That wretched Hu Zhenzhen deserves to die. The last Changwang Tiger was actually stolen by her. She doesn’t even understand how important that Changwang Tiger is. Despicable, truly despicable!

By the way, did he last appear at the Nanwu Sword Sect? Do we have spies planted within the Sword Sect?"

"Almost there.

Besides this, I have another arrangement.

This arrangement will surely grip that cunning boy’s neck tightly, forcing him to jump out, hehehehe..."

"I’m curious though, where exactly is that boy hiding?"

"Nothing to be curious about. Since he has already absorbed the Changwang Tiger Blood, I have reason to suspect that Hu Zhenzhen has also been skinned and drained of her blood by him.

Hehe, now he’s just a little fox... hehehehe..."

"Even a little fox as strong can’t outwit an old fox like you."

"Of course, just wait and watch, the grand show is about to begin, hehehehe..."

A humanoid fox clapped its hands and leaped down from the seat, chuckling into the darkness: "Hide well, little fox, the real search is about to start."

...

...

Two months later...

"Still haven’t found him, not a single bit of news. Is that boy really still within the Three Kingdoms?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve already spread the news."

"What news?"

"Our Purple Mansion experts from the Fox and Wolf Races are coming soon."

"It will take at least three years for them to arrive, not that soon."

"That boy doesn’t know that, he must be anxious."

"And then?"

"I’ve already gone to take a look at that Ancient Teleportation Array before anyone else. Though I don’t understand array formations well, I know it surely needs one specific material for repair." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"You’re talking about the Soul Gold Stone?"

"Exactly. Only a stone as sturdy as the Soul Gold Stone can withstand the tremendous backlash force from the Ancient Teleportation Array; nothing else will do.

So, I’ve quietly spread news through some very hidden channels, all pointing to a mortal force in Jin Kingdom called Lucky Commerce Association.

The president of Lucky Commerce Association unexpectedly got hold of some peculiar stones, with quality no different from that of Soul Gold Stones."

"I see. That boy wants to escape, so he’ll definitely come back to find Lucky Commerce Association."

"You’re wrong. He won’t come. The only one who’ll come looking for Lucky Commerce Association is that young girl from Nanwu Sword Sect, Yu Xuanwei.

Then... I’ll personally wait over there. When Yu Xuanwei comes knocking, I’ll reveal just a little bit, while tearfully telling her that the rest of the stones have been stolen.

Yu Xuanwei can’t detect anything unusual about me, but I believe that boy certainly will because he has the blood of my Multi-tailed Fox Race inside him.

By then, even if I don’t discover him, he’ll take action on his own, because I’m holding the Soul Gold Stone he desperately needs."

"Don’t say anything more, my brain is about to explode. Anyway, I’ll follow you, then just wait for that boy at Lucky Commerce Association."

"Hehehe, good."

...

...

Three more months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the dimly lit palace...

"Sure enough, Yu Xuanwei found her way here, but where’s that boy?"

"The boy hasn’t come yet."

"It’s been half a month now... if he was going to come, he would have by now. Why hasn’t he come?"

"He will come eventually."

...

...

Afterwards...

"Still hasn’t come, he still hasn’t come. You’ve led Yu Xuanwei’s people around half the circle, and that boy still hasn’t appeared! Could he be unable to see through your Illusion Technique?"

"Probably not, I’ve already left enough flaws, hmm, starting tomorrow, I’ll expose even more."

...

"Has he come?"

"Let’s wait a while longer."

...

"Has he come?"

"Not yet."

...

"Has he come?"

"No."

"I think you are the little fox; he’s the old fox!"

"Maybe he’s already left the Three Kingdoms?"

"From where? Surrounded by seas on three sides, there are only two exits: one is the Desolate Wilderness to the north, and the other is through the Ancient Teleportation Array. Which one do you think he took?"

The humanoid fox paused in silence, then asked, "What about the other group? Have they noticed anything unusual with the Puppet Sect?"
