Chapter 290 Our clan leader wants to recruit him as his son-in-law?

The fox demon smiled flatteringly and said ingratiatingly: "Master Xuanqing, I am here on the orders of the clan leader to guard the safety of this family!"

"just you?"

Taoist Xuanqing had a strange look on his face.

It’s not that he looked down on the fox demon in front of him, but based on his eyesight, this fox demon in front of him was just a person who had awakened his intelligence and had just stepped into the realm of a demon.

In addition, fox demons are not good at hand-to-hand combat. Fox demons who have just stepped into the threshold of demons cannot learn powerful magic, so they are much stronger than ordinary people.

If I met a monk...

Not to mention a cultivator, even if he encountered a martial artist, the only possible outcome would be death.

Rely on it to protect the safety of the Wang family?
It would be better to rely on the talisman boxes hanging around the Wang family’s necks to protect their safety.

"Master, you, you, don't look down on me!"

The fox demon snorted angrily and was about to retort, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

It wasn't that he was frightened by Taoist Xuanqing's eyes, or the flying sword hanging in front of him and pointing at him, but he didn't have the courage to speak to Taoist Xuanqing in a firm manner.

But it knows clearly how capable it is. How can you expect it to protect the Wang family's safety?
Even if the patriarch has confidence in him, it has no confidence in itself.

Taoist Xuanqing sneered, "Then tell me, what ability do you have to protect the safety of this family?"

"This, this, this..."

Upon hearing this, the fox demon didn't know how to respond. If it had met other people or monsters, it might have been able to brag a few words, but not in front of Taoist Priest Xuanqing.

It has absolutely no basis for bragging!
After all, his life is in the hands of Taoist Xuanqing.

The fox demon laughed and said, "Master Xuanqing, to be honest with you, with my ability, I failed to protect the safety of this family, but don't we have the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan behind me?

Our clan leader arranged for me to stay here. In fact, the real purpose is that if this family encounters a disaster, let me inform our Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan immediately, and our clan leader will come to rescue them personally!"

Speaking of this, there was an expression of shock that was difficult to conceal in the depths of the fox demon's eyes. Ever since it could remember, the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan had done a lot of things. Perhaps with its identity, it was impossible for it to know everything that the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan had done, but it could still know a general idea.

I have never heard of the Nine-headed Mountain Fox Tribe protecting humans, and especially when humans are in danger, their tribe leader personally takes action.

"I see!"

Taoist Priest Xuanqing nodded. What the fox demon said was not at all unexpected to him, although he had rarely heard of any demon doing something similar.

But with the intelligence of fox demons, Hu Jian is the patriarch of the Jiu Tou Mountain fox clan. He cannot be said to be the smartest person in their fox clan, but he is also one of the smartest people. He knows that Wang Ping'an is a child with an extraordinary physique.

He is a first-rate talent in cultivating Taoism!

He also knew that Wang Ping'an had the support of his senior sister Gu Huiyan. If the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan dared to do something like kidnapping secretly, what would await them would be a disaster, if not a catastrophic one.

Hu Jianbai is not stupid, so he will naturally make the best choice. He will do some favors to Wang Ping'an while Wang Ping'an has not grown up yet. When Wang Ping'an reaches a certain level of cultivation, even just one word from him will be enough to help the Jiu Tou Shan Fox Clan reach a higher level.

Arranging family members to garrison near the Wang family and using the entire family's strength to protect the Wang family's safety is currently one of the best ways to gain Wang Ping'an's favor.

The fox demon watched Taoist Xuan Qing retract the flying sword hanging in front of him, leaped to the sword, and couldn't help asking:

"Master Xuanqing, can you tell me why our clan leader arranged for me to guard here and even risked the entire clan's strength to protect this family?" The Jiu Tou Shan fox clan was different from other demon clans. They did not hate humans, but they did not have much affection for them either. Moreover, this family was obviously an ordinary family at first glance. It could not understand why their clan leader arranged for it to guard here.

Even the talented sons of their clan leader do not receive this preferential treatment.

"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask your clan leader. How could I possibly know what your clan leader is thinking?"

Taoist Xuanqing smiled.

He could probably guess a little about Hu Jianbai's plan, but since Hu Jianbai didn't tell the fox demon, there was no need for him to tell the fox demon.

Logically speaking, if the fox demon was told in detail about the importance of Wang Ping'an, the fox demon would most likely pay special attention to Wang Ping'an.

but.

Something else may happen!
The smarter a person or monster is, the more stupid things they will do.

of course.

In fact, it cannot be said to be a foolish thing. In fact, it is a matter of harming others and benefiting oneself.

With the intelligence of this fox demon, once it knows the importance of Wang Ping'an, it is very likely to do something similar to what Hu Meiniang did, secretly kidnapping Wang Ping'an and selling him to some old monsters to earn resources for cultivation.

It's not impossible!
"Master Xuanqing, Master Xuanqing, Master Xuanqing..."

The fox demon wanted to say something, but when he saw that Taoist Xuanqing ignored him, he drove the flying sword and turned into a stream of light, about to disappear from his sight.

The fox demon's face was full of disappointment!

"Maybe your clan leader has taken a fancy to this family's child and wants to make him your clan leader's son-in-law!"

A voice sounded in his mind, and the fox demon was startled. Then he realized that it was Taoist Xuanqing who sent the message. He said with a strange look on his face:

"Master Xuanqing, are you kidding me? How could our clan leader be interested in a human child and want him to be his son-in-law?"

just.

After he finished speaking, he did not hear Taoist Xuanqing speaking to him again. At this time, Taoist Xuanqing had already disappeared from his sight. How could he possibly speak to him and answer his questions?

For a moment, thousands of distracting thoughts emerged in the fox demon's mind, and he fell into deep thought.

"Could it be that our clan leader did this because he really had a crush on this family's newly born child and wanted to take that child as his son-in-law?"

The fox demon muttered to himself, but before he finished speaking, another thought came to his mind and he denied it:
"No, it's impossible. How can a mere human be worthy of our chief's daughter? Moreover, he is a farmer's child. Even if our chief is crazy, he will not accept him as his son-in-law."

Although he said this, for some reason, the fox demon secretly believed what Taoist Xuanqing said.

First, given the identity of Taoist Priest Xuanqing, there is absolutely no need to joke about this kind of thing.

Second, apart from this possibility, it couldn't figure out that there were other possibilities that would cause its patriarch to arrange for it to be stationed here to protect the safety of this family.

The fox demon said strangely: "It seems that I have to take good care of this family, otherwise if the child of this family really becomes the son-in-law of our clan leader, I am afraid that the clan leader will not let me go if I don't take good care of him!"
