Chapter 793 Expectations
It took only a moment for Fairy Qingyao to leave and come back.
Gong Mengbi only had time to ask the goddess a few words before Fairy Qingyao left and returned.
As Gong Mengbi expected, the Tianhu Academy might not have any files on foxes other than the immortals, but the rumor envoy must have some.
Fairy Qingyao said, "Goddess, I have already found out."
"Since the establishment of Tianfu Taiyin Palace, there have been a total of seven fox gods serving in it. Three are from the Su clan, three are from the Chunhu clan, and one is from the Huangfu clan. There are three from the Tianhu Courtyard, one fox fairy from the Su clan, one fox fairy from the Chun clan, and one fox fairy from the Huangfu clan. The one who looks like what Mingfu described should be the fox fairy Huangfu Cong from the Huangfu clan."
Gong Mengbi's eyebrows jumped and he asked, "Huangfu?"
Fairy Qingyao nodded and said, "It is indeed the Huangfu family."
"This man practiced the Taiyin Immortal Technique for more than 400 years in the Tianhu Academy, and was granted the title of Immortal. He then went to the Taiyin Palace and was appointed Lord Salu. He has been in office for 132 years."
Gong Mengbi looked at Xun Jijiu, who also had a frown on his face.
Fairy Qingyao naturally understood what they were thinking.
Among the four great families, the Huangfu family and the Hu family are both young families. The Hu family was the first fox fairy enlightened by the goddess, and took the surname Hu, and became a family with the help of the Tianhuyuan. The Huangfu family was a fox that later went to the Tianhuyuan, and originally lived in the emperor's father's mausoleum.
Among the four great families, only their two families had a more gentle attitude towards the wild fox. If they said that the Huangfu family was responsible for the destruction of the entire family, it would be unreasonable.
Fairy Qingyao continued, "The other one is not a fox fairy, but a fox demon who practices in Lingying Temple in Mount Wutai. Because he can subdue evil spirits thousands of miles away and does not hurt people, he is quite spiritual, so he is worshipped a lot and is called the Spiritual Response Fox King by the local people."
"The Spirit Fox King has never practiced in the Heavenly Fox Academy. We only know that there is such a person, but we don't know the specific details."
The goddess said: "Since you already know who it is, go check it out. Xun Jijiu, since you can't sit still, go check Huangfu Cong."
Xun Jiji nodded and said, "I will go and have a chat with Huangfu Dianji."
"Mingfu, I'll leave the Spirit Fox King to you."
Gong Mengbi bowed and accepted the order.
"If you find out who is behind this, please let me know. If it is really a quarrel between fellow disciples of the Sky Fox Academy, I will not let them off easily."
Xun Jijiu and Gong Mengbi accepted the order, and seeing that the goddess had no intention of speaking, they said goodbye to her.
Xun Jijiu went ahead. When Gong Mengbi was about to leave, Fairy Qingyao winked at him, so he did not go far and waited for Fairy Qingyao outside the gate of the Jade Palace.
Not long after, Fairy Qingyao came out of the Jade Palace and took Gong Mengbi for a stroll in the goddess' back garden. Finally, they stopped on a suspended stone platform where clouds were surging.
"Some things are not suitable to be said to Xun Jijiu, but I want to talk to you."
"All ears."
"The goddess has high hopes for Xun Jijiu. With his talent, he should have reached the third level long ago and ascended to heaven to seek a wider world. However, he was burdened by worldly affairs and could never calm down to practice, so he is still stuck at the fourth level."
"He is very talented and gentle. He is a good candidate, but not that good. He cannot make a breakthrough, so he is stuck in this position. He can neither let the goddess let him go nor make himself feel comfortable. But you are different. Both I and the goddess have high hopes for you."
"You can definitely do what Xun Jijiu couldn't do."
Fairy Qingyao looked at Gong Mengbi with a very heavy gaze, which made Gong Mengbi feel heavy in his heart as well.
"Originally, I shouldn't tell you these things now, but the goddess told you that you need Xun Jijiu to train you, so it doesn't matter. The goddess cherishes talents, and she couldn't bear to see Xun Jijiu guarding the Sky Fox Court alone, while she herself was trapped in it because of her early fate. A super-grade great celestial being is trapped in Lingxu Biyuantian, guarding this small Sky Fox Court."
"The Queen Mother of Mount Tai governs the foxes. Because of her affinity with foxes, the Goddess built the Heavenly Fox Court to take charge of the evaluation of the foxes' ascension to immortality on behalf of the Queen Mother. If the Heavenly Fox Court could run smoothly without the Goddess's supervision, then the Goddess could naturally get away with it. But unfortunately, the Heavenly Fox Court has gone astray and is like a chicken rib. It cannot bear such an important task, but it is not completely useless."
Gong Mengbi said: "The noble families control the Heavenly Fox Academy, so it is like stagnant water and cannot really benefit the foxes. However, because of the goddess, there are always some gaps for wild foxes to crawl in. At least I got the opportunity to grow to where I am today through the Heavenly Fox Academy."
"That's right. When the goddess built the Heavenly Fox Academy in her early years, the noble families played an important role. Not only did they contribute to the construction of the Heavenly Fox Academy, but they were also the representatives of foxes. At that time, wild foxes were either scattered in the mountains and wilderness as monsters, or mixed in with the human world and made trouble. They were not powerful at all and were classified as monsters. They could not be trusted or relied on. They themselves did not believe in the Heavenly Fox Academy and thought that the construction of the Heavenly Fox Academy was to control them. The noble families stepped in, and the Heavenly Fox Academy truly became a place for foxes to ascend to immortality. It's a pity that things turned sour later."
"With a weapon like the Tianhu Court in their control and such great authority in their possession, how could the aristocratic families let it go easily?" Gong Mengbi did understand the subsequent consequences. This was really nothing new. Such things would happen every moment.
Fairy Qingyao said: "The goddess has long realized the consequences of the noble families getting involved, so she specially enlightened the wild foxes and gave them the surname Hu, so that they could control the noble families. Unexpectedly, these wild foxes gained power and became the new noble families, which in turn became an obstacle for the wild foxes."
Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "It's just like the change of dynasties. Those emperors who came from humble backgrounds will only become nightmares for the humble people in the end."
"But the goddess is not the emperor. If she really wants to change the world, it should be easy. Do the noble families have the ability to stop her?"
Fairy Qingyao shook her head.
"It is precisely because the goddess is not an emperor that she cannot regard thunder and rain as grace, nor can she decide life and death at the will of a single heart. The Queen of Mount Tai governs the foxes, and the goddess is being evaluated for her ascension to heaven, not to become an emperor herself, but to enlighten the masses, educate the spirits, and promote good and eliminate evil. Killing those who disobey and destroying those who disobey is not the way of the gods."
"But the goddess is trapped in it."
"There is a hidden story behind this matter, but it is not convenient to tell you." Fairy Qingyao looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "I shouldn't have told you so much. This is a problem that the goddess and I have to face, not a problem that you have to face. But I always feel unwilling in my heart, and I have more expectations for you."
Fairy Qingyao realized that she had said too much and that her heart was in turmoil.
"I don't know how far I can go." Gong Mengbi looked at the rolling sea of clouds, then shifted his gaze to Fairy Qingyao, and said, "But we foxes have always practiced by forming bonds, forming a bond with the goddess, and forming a bond with you, isn't this a blessing for me?"
"Fairy Qingyao, my ambition is not just to be a fourth-rank fox fairy."
Fairy Qingyao looked at Gong Mengbi and saw that his eyes were curved. He did not feel overwhelmed by hearing these words.
