Chapter 2916 Bloodians' Recruitment!
Chapter 2916 Bloodians' Recruitment!
After saying the words, Fan Lou felt exceptionally happy. The Mantis Stone Crab and Hidden Fog Turtle envoys were beside him. Even if Feng Qing was dissatisfied with him, he would not do anything to him. His words were bound to reach Andre's ears sooner or later.
Fan Lou wanted to officially break off ties with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and regain his freedom. Only then would he have a chance to join the Andra clan and become a true Bloodian. He nearly died because of Feng Qing's decision.
Feng Qing truly did not value him enough, given that he was still able to utter such words under these circumstances. If Feng Qing cared about his emotions at all, he would not have made such an overboard request.
Fan Lou's words made Feng Qing's expression gradually freeze. Feng Qing did not expect Fan Lou to criticize him right away. If Feng Qing was not currently in the Andra clan and the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves couldn't provoke the Andra clan and incur their dissatisfaction, he would have given Fan Lou a lesson to remind Fan Lou how he rose to power!
Feng Qing, who was on the verge of losing control of his emotions, revealed a strong killing intent. The Mantis Stone Crab and the Hidden Fog Turtle envoys immediately released their auras to confront Feng Qing.
Andre walked in quickly and said coldly, "I told you to leave with your Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Why are you still attacking the benefactor of the Dark Pufferfish here?! Feng Qing, you've really become more and more impudent since you became a member of the Honor Absent Parliament. Get lost with your men immediately!
"In the future, Fan Lou will stay in our Andra clan's territory. I will report this to the leader. If Fan Lou is willing, we can let him become a Bloodian! From now on, Fan Lou will have nothing to do with your Chaos Wind Demon Wolves."
Andre did not give Feng Qing any face this time because Feng Qing's actions had completely angered Andre. Feng Qing actually dared to reveal his killing intent toward Fan Lou at this time, which showed that he did not take him and the Andra clan seriously at all!
He had already emphasized to Feng Qing many times the importance of cooperation between the Andra clan and the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River.
Feng Qing was a very intelligent person and would certainly understand the implications of his actions. No matter what the reason was, revealing his killing intent was disrespectful to the Andra clan. It seemed that Feng Qing had really forgotten about his identity as a member of the Honor Absent Parliament.
Compared to Feng Qing's help and appreciation toward Fan Lou, the Andra clan's help and appreciation to Feng Qing was much greater. Furthermore, Andre believed that this was a good opportunity to snatch Fan Lou. He had expressed his goodwill to Fan Lou by targeting Feng Qing. As an intelligent person, Fan Lou would surely understand what choice to make.
While he was trying to recruit Fan Lou into the Bloodians, he also had the intention of expressing his goodwill to the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River in order to alleviate their discontent.
Without these incidents, the Andra clan's suggestion to keep could easily be interpreted as an attempt to poach Fan Lou. It wouldn't be very dignified for the Andra clan to poach a fellow from a dependent species. Therefore, finding an entry point to do so would eliminate many concerns.
Feng Qing gritted his teeth and looked at Andre.
Andre's killing intent was even stronger than Feng Qing's. If he dared to speak up and disobey him, Andre would have no problem injuring Feng Qing. Still, it was inconvenient for him to kill Feng Qing due to his status as a member of Honor Absent Parliament. Disrespect from a dependent species to the ruling species was unacceptable, and Feng Qing's disrespect would hold no ground wherever he went.
In the end, Feng Qing did not say anything. He just left the Andra clan with the Forbidden Wolf Team.
If Fan Lou was concerned about the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, he would have thought of a way to reject Andre when the latter sought to claim him. However, Fan Lou's words were filled with displeasure toward the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
Fighting with Andre for Fan Lou at this time would only force Andre to attack him. The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had lost the trust of the Andra clan. When Feng Qing returned, he had to think of a way to regain the trust of the Andra clan to secure the opportunity to be placed in an important position by them again. The best way was to prove the value of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
Having been in the Sky Beyond the Clouds and a member of Honor Absent Parliament for so long, Feng Qing possessed both resources and connections.
A teleportation passageway that connected to the outer world appeared in the Wolin Mountains. It was connected to the outer world of the Abyssal Beast Kingdom. Launching a surprise attack on the Abyssal Beast Kingdom through this teleportation passageway could yield a significant amount of Abyssal Beast resources.
Every species had a huge demand for high-quality Abyssal Beast resources. Only with Abyssal Beast resources could they explore the outer world. The resources in the outer world might not be more abundant than the resources in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, but the resources produced there were indeed not what the Sky Beyond the Clouds could produce.
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had a certain relationship with the Cloud Leopards. If they managed to persuade them to share these resources with the Andra clan, the Andra clan would likely reinstate the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves into a significant position once they got the benefits.
After Feng Qing left with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, Andre was about to comfort Fan Lou and ask him what he was thinking.
However, Ink Scar did not give Andre a chance to communicate with Fan Lou at all. Ink Scar immediately asked about Fan Lou's well-being and expressed that he wanted to bring Fan Lou to the residence of the Dark Pufferfish in the Andra clan to slowly recuperate.
If Ink Scar's previous attitude towards Fan Lou had made Andre understand the importance of Fan Lou to the Dark Pufferfish, his actions now made Andre wonder inwardly if the person Fan Lou had saved was related to him. Otherwise, Ink Scar wouldn't have any reason to display such an attitude towards Fan Lou.
After Fan Lou responded to Ink Scar's concern, he told Andre very respectfully, "Thank you, Andra clan, for thinking so highly of me! The bloodline of the Bloodians is really desirable. However, I was just abandoned by the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves that I'm loyal to and nearly died. I need time to recuperate. My physique is extremely poor now.
"I believe Your Excellency Andre can sense it. I hope you can give me a chance to recuperate in peace. When I'm done recuperating and my thoughts are no longer entirely consumed by the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, I will provide you with a response. I hope that the Andra clan won't despise me when the time comes."
Andre was very satisfied with Fan Lou's attitude. His words were filled with respect for the Andra clan. As a member of the Andra clan, it was only appropriate that he treated it with such an attitude.
Andre thought for a moment and understood Fan Lou's current state. The Andra clan had investigated what Fan Lou had done to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Fan Lou had not been a member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves for long, but he had made a huge contribution to them.
Hence, Fan Lou must be very sad to be treated like this after sacrificing so much for them. If Andre were to encounter such a situation, it would probably be difficult for him to recover from his sad state.
Yi Xue had yet to return, and many matters within the clan still required Yi Xue's judgment. If Andre took too many initiatives, Yi Xue might feel that he had overstepped his boundaries, and that wouldn't be good. When Yi Xue returned, it was highly likely that Yi Xue would personally engage with Fan Lou to address the situation.
"Then go to the residence of the Dark Pufferfish and stay with them. I believe they will take care of you."
After speaking to Fan Lou, Andre turned to Ink Scar. "If you need any resources to heal Fan Lou's injuries, feel free to request them from the Andra clan. We will provide the best resources to help him recover from his injuries!"
Ink Scar rolled his eyes and said, "Fan Lou is our Dark Pufferfish's benefactor. We do not lack medicine to heal injuries and recover roots. If your Andra clan really wants to provide help to Fan Lou, perhaps it's time to consider how to deal with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves in the future. I've always heard that the Bloodians have strict management of their dependent species. Now, it appears that your management is only mediocre at best!"
Ink Scar's words were filled with resentment and mockery, and Andre could hear it.
Previously, due to the presence of Feng Qing and the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, Andre had refrained from responding to Ink Scar regarding their way of handling the situation. Ink Scar had already requested the Andra clan to punish the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves several times.
Now that the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had left, Andre said directly, "Our Andra clan will deal with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, but it will take some time. Feng Qing is a member of the Honor Absent Parliament. As long as Feng Qing remains a member, our Andra clan will not be able to do anything to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
"Feng Qing's parliament status is managed by the Andra clan. If we can make him a member, then we can also make him lose his status. In order to befriend the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River, our Andra clan has shown great sincerity. Rest assured, the outcome of our handling of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves will not disappoint you. Everyone, just wait and see!"
Andre intended to demonstrate goodwill to the Four Species Overlords through their way of handling the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. However, neither Ink Scar nor Fan Lou would fall for Andre's tricks. All of Ink Scar's actions were to cooperate with Fan Lou.
Logically speaking, Fan Lou should have agreed to Andre's invitation when Andre first suggested that he become a member of the Andra clan. Fan Lou had found an excuse to delay this matter because he was not sure about Lin Yuan's specific arrangements and could not ask him about them. Fan Lou did not want Lin Yuan to misunderstand him. He would make a decision after asking Lin Yuan about his arrangements so that no unexpected occurrences would happen.
If Lin Yuan did not intend to let him stay in the Andra, agreeing to Andre's invitation to become a member would disrupt Lin Yuan's future plans. In that case, he would be doomed.
Lin Yuan was meticulously planning his future, and being an ordinary Bloodian might not be his limit. Fan Lou only needed to follow in Lin Yuan's footsteps and improve step by step.
Fan Lou was brought to the Dark Pufferfish's territory by Ink Scar. He was looking forward to his future while recovering from his injuries.
The Four Species Overlords were under Lin Yuan's control and could be considered his subordinates. Fan Lou responded positively to them trying to curry favor with him. In the future, he would have many opportunities to interact with them as a Bloodian. Establishing a good relationship with one another was not only beneficial to the Four Species Overlords, but to Fan Lou as well.
In the future, many of the things that Fan Lou would need to do would undoubtedly require their strong support. Fan Lou was very clear about this.
Many of the things that the Four Species Overlords had done would eventually be credited to Fan Lou in Lin Yuan's eyes. The Four Species Overlords would be earning merits for him.
When it came to those who could serve his interests, even if Fan Lou's status evolved to a position far surpassing that of the Four Species Overlords, he would still seek to establish connections with individuals like Ink Scar.
…
Feng Nuo led the Forbidden Wolf Team and followed Feng Qing from the Andra clan's territory to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' territory. Along the way, Feng Nuo wanted to say something but hesitated.
Feng Nuo had a lot to ask Feng Qing, but it was clear that Feng Qing did not have any intention of responding.
However, as a core member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, Feng Nuo still had to ask those questions, "Lord Feng Qing, judging from Fan Lou's current attitude, it's impossible for him to submit to our Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. This is not a favorable situation for us.
"Being on good terms with the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River can indeed bring great benefits to our species. You've already witnessed the Andra clan's attitude towards them.
"I think we need to humble ourselves and curry favor with the Dark Pufferfish to ease our relationship with the Four Species Overlords of the Lonely River. Fan Lou is only the benefactor of the Dark Pufferfish. The other three Lonely River species are just cooperating with the Dark Pufferfish."
Feng Nuo's words made sense, but to Feng Qing, it was extremely ear-piercing. He had already yielded to the Dark Pufferfish envoy and said many good words, but Ink Scar did not care about his goodwill or submission at all. Fan Lou even questioned why he was so ruthless.
Fan Lou had already betrayed the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. From the perspective of a traitor like Fan Lou, he definitely would not want to rely on the Dark Pufferfish to reconcile with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
