Chapter 1037: Chapter 720: True Monarch Shadow Fox_2

Although He Song’s cultivation had already reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir,

within the Golden Elixir Realm, he already feared no one.

However, in He Song’s perception, after many years of cultivation, True Monarch Shadow Fox’s cultivation had already reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm.

Should such a cultivator truly harbor a killing intent towards He Song, He Song feared he would have to go to great lengths to escape.

In such a situation, merely exchanging greetings with the other party was something He Song would not be stingy about.

He was not foolish enough to offend a cultivator at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection without good reason.

Moreover, this cultivator’s identity was not simple at all.

And with He Song’s gesture of clasping hands,

Xiao Qing, who was beside He Song, also immediately bowed her head, calling out a greeting to the Pavilion Master.

As True Monarch Shadow Fox was the Chief Master of the Treasure Pavilion of Smoke-Cloud State, and Xiao Qing was an internal staff member of the local Treasure Pavilion, it was natural for her to pay her respects.

This was not surprising to He Song.

However,

when the originally eager-looking True Monarch Shadow Fox, who seemed to be anticipating the arrival of others, suddenly fixed his gaze firmly on He Song after hearing He Song’s greeting,

a hint of vigilance flashed through He Song’s heart.

Although fighting was prohibited whether in the Immortal Pavilion, Immortal City, or even in the Immortal State Mansion where He Song was currently located,

when a cultivator at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection suddenly stared straight at him,

He Song immediately felt a sense of caution.

At that moment,

He Song gathered his attention on himself, ready to act at any moment.

However, just as He Song’s caution rose, preparing to confront True Monarch Shadow Fox if necessary,

the expression on True Monarch Shadow Fox’s face changed at that very moment.

Under He Song’s watchful eyes, True Monarch Shadow Fox’s face suddenly blossomed into a smile.

“It turns out to be Master Xuan Gui in person,”

“You flatter me too much,”

“After many years, Master Xuan Gui’s cultivation has also improved,”

“It’s just, I didn’t expect that you had become a Guest Elder of our Treasure Pavilion, my apologies for the oversight,”

In response to He Song’s greeting, True Monarch Shadow Fox appeared quite enthusiastic.

However, when True Monarch Shadow Fox subsequently mentioned He Song’s identity as a Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder, He Song’s vigilance relaxed a little.

But soon, He Song’s pondering gaze fell onto Xiao Qing.

This True Monarch Shadow Fox, who had previously had a mere passing encounter with He Song and no further interaction,

could not possibly know of He Song’s status as a Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder.

At this moment, the only person beside He Song who knew of this status was Xiao Qing.

That is to say,

If He Song’s guess was not wrong, his status as a Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder must have been informed to True Monarch Shadow Fox by Xiao Qing beforehand.

With this thought in mind, the look He Song gave Xiao Qing increasingly became one of inquiry.

This Xiao Qing, without He Song speaking out, directly divulged his identity as a Guest Elder of the Treasure Pavilion to True Monarch Shadow Fox.

This move was inappropriate.

However, considering that Xiao Qing belonged to the local Treasure Pavilion, He Song suppressed his displeasure.

Xiao Qing and He Song were merely using each other.

He paid a fee, and Xiao Qing provided him with information.

This was nothing more than a transaction.

Xiao Qing, after all, was not An Ning and did not share a deep bond with He Song.

In such a situation, it was only natural to prioritize informing True Monarch Shadow Fox, the Pavilion Master.

Some matters are more urgent than others, and people naturally differ in closeness and distance.

Xiao Qing, being an internal member here at the Treasure Pavilion and facing the local Pavilion Master, the importance of each was clear to see.

With these thoughts, He Song withdrew his gaze.

However, just as He Song was about to say something,

True Monarch Shadow Fox seemed to see He Song’s reaction and immediately spoke again.

“Before, I sensed the aura of a Guest Elder Token flash by in the state mansion, and I thought I would have to wait a little longer to welcome the Guest Elder,”

“But I did not expect that, just upon my arrival here, I would encounter the Guest Elder in person.”

“Fellow Daoist may not know this, but as soon as the Guest Elder Token is taken out from the storage bag, if there is a Treasure Pavilion Master in the vicinity, they can immediately sense its presence.”

“The distance isn’t particularly close, but it’s not too far either.”

“It’s roughly tens of miles away.”

“Of course, if mana is used to activate it, the distance can be even greater.”

“Therefore, the Guest Elder Token can also be used for summoning help.”

“I sensed the presence of a Guest Elder Token nearby and did not detect any call for help, which made me realize the Guest Elder might soon make an appearance.”

“That’s why I waited here especially for Fellow Daoist’s arrival, hoping that you would not misunderstand.”

True Monarch Shadow Fox paused momentarily as his gaze lingered on Xiao Qing, then explained the situation to He Song.

The implication was to let He Song not take it to heart.

This incident was not as Xiao Qing had said, but had arisen from the nature of the Guest Elder Token itself.

And He Song,

upon hearing True Monarch Shadow Fox’s explanation, immediately reflected on the description of the Treasure Pavilion’s Guest Elder Token.

Regrettably, he did not find such a description in his memory,

and thus could not immediately verify the truth of True Monarch Shadow Fox’s words.

However, since True Monarch Shadow Fox had said as much,

even though He Song did not know the truth of the matter, he now had to give the other party face by brushing the incident aside.

As for the truth, after attending the large auction and returning to Smoke-Cloud State, he would naturally learn the truth from Master Luo Jing’s mouth.

With this thought in mind, He Song did not entangle himself further with the search for the truth but simply nodded, feigning sudden realization as he spoke.

“So the Guest Elder Token can also be used for summoning help.”

“I was truly unaware of this matter prior to this.”

“What Fellow Daoist has mentioned has been a great help to me.”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

He Song made a slight bow towards True Monarch Shadow Fox as if the incident had never occurred, and they soon engaged in greetings once again.

Meanwhile, at He Song’s side,

listening to the conversation between He Song and the other, Xiao Qing’s expression showed a slight hint of helplessness.

Being a member of the Treasure Pavilion, she naturally had extensive experience with the intricacies of verbal exchange.

Therefore, she also understood what He Song and the other were truly discussing.

However, after putting herself in their place,

and realizing that she would have had the same misunderstanding if she were He Song,

a trace of helplessness flashed across Xiao Qing’s face.

Fortunately, True Monarch Shadow Fox seemed to have noticed this and took the initiative to exonerate her.

That’s why He Song let the matter pass.

Although Xiao Qing did not know whether True Monarch Shadow Fox’s words were true, in her view, they must be true.

Because she indeed did not send any secret message.

As an internal staff member of the Treasure Pavilion, her status was not enough to formally receive a Treasure Pavilion Guest Elder,

but given her personal relationship with the Guest Elder, she was barely qualified.

In such a case, there was no need for her to inform True Monarch Shadow Fox and have him personally come to receive the Guest Elder.

Thus, under the premise that she had not informed True Monarch Shadow Fox,

Xiao Qing naturally believed that what True Monarch Shadow Fox said was true.

At the same time, Xiao Qing felt quite relieved.

This time, it was fortunate that True Monarch Shadow Fox detected the change in He Song’s mood and explained on her behalf.

Otherwise, her private relationship with Xuan Gui True Monarch might have come to an end.

With feelings of both relief and helplessness, Xiao Qing remained where she was, listening to He Song and the other’s greetings.

There had been no private dealings between He Song and True Monarch Shadow Fox prior to this.

Even their first encounter had merely been due to He Song making a move at the auction.

It was a matter of official business.

Therefore, they did not engage in lengthy pleasantries.

Shortly after, True Monarch Shadow Fox led He Song and Xiao Qing into the Treasure Pavilion and soon arranged guest quarters for He Song.

Guest Elders and Pavilion Masters usually interacted in this manner, provided there was no subordinate relationship between them.
