The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 659 The Name of the Fox

"What the Treasure Tree Ant said should be credible. The fact that the students from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences couldn't find any trace of the root system is more likely due to the tree itself or other factors."

“That thing is different from ordinary spirit beasts.” Master Fuli thought for a moment and said, “Since the Treasure Tree Ant said that the branches were dug up from the house, let’s go to the Archaeology Institute and find some graduate students to dig it up. Maybe we can find traces of the Tree Master’s roots?”

The Treasure Tree Ant is highly likely to speak; most spirit beasts are the type that remember both food and punishment.

The Treasure Tree Ant has just been arrested and is currently in a state of high honesty; it has no reason to lie.

Unless the tree ant doesn't want its own rear end anymore.

"me?"

The Treasure Tree Ant looked at Master Fuli with a bewildered expression, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with the title "Treasure Tree Ant".

"Um"

Wang Qiqi pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's do as Master Fuli says! Our Security Bureau has mobilized satellite reconnaissance and conducted field visits, but we haven't found any trace of the Treasure Tree."

"What the Treasure Tree Ant said is also a breakthrough point."

The Security Bureau's urgent search for the Treasure Tree Grandfather was not for any ulterior motive, nor was it to pick its leaves to make tea.

The existence of "Master Tree" is like that of a stock market guru; he has made a fortune through stock trading and is highly respected in the stock market circle. However, the Security Bureau doesn't know whether Master Tree's stock trading is based on his own abilities or whether he is colluding with major players to manipulate the market and exploit retail investors.

The former is fine, like Master Fuli, who wanders around aimlessly and causes a little damage, or steals some old weapons to hunt birds in the forest, which is harmless.

But if the Treasure Tree Grandfather is the latter, then its impact will be much greater, affecting thousands of households.

If it weren't for the sudden massive earthquake beyond the Great Wall that forced a large number of personnel to be diverted to assist the border troops, the most important task for the Security Bureau of Chang'an City in the near future would have been to find the Tree Lord's whereabouts and to ascertain its attitude towards human society.

If it's harmless, help it adapt to modern society.

If it's harmful, spray some herbicide on its head and seal it up. Then, use it as a counterweight missile to fire a shot into the military control zone across the ocean.

Based on the clues provided by the Treasure Tree Ants, Wang Qiqi began to gather the meticulous excavation experts to go to the old village to set up search equipment and start digging.

"Let's talk."

"How do you use this branch?" After finishing his business, Master Fuli picked up the branch on the table and looked at the Treasure Tree Ant with some curiosity, asking.

This tree branch is so hard that it can rival the metal crash beams of a truck.

An Sheng had observed the flow of the spiritual particles. The tree branch itself did have the effect of enriching spiritual particles, but its enrichment density was too low. If An Sheng hadn't stared at it with wide eyes, it would have been difficult to detect the flow of those scattered spiritual particles.

"Give me."

The treasure tree ant's eyes lit up, and it stretched out its hand, gesturing for Master Fortune Fox to return the branch to it.

Seeing this, the Fortune Fox casually tossed the branch back to the Treasure Tree Ant.

"Trees are for eating!"

The tree ant raises a branch high, plunges the pointed end into the conference table, and then climbs onto the branch itself.

The tree ant opens its mouth and secretes a corrosive liquid from its oral cavity. While gnawing at the twig, it slowly sucks up the plant roots that have been dissolved by the sticky liquid.

As the Treasure Tree Ant demonstrated, it stared wide-eyed at Master Fortune Fox, as if afraid he would steal its food.

"Ptooey, ptooey!" The Treasure Tree Ant thought for a moment, then spat some more saliva onto the surface of the branch, just in case.
Master Fuli: "."

So what if you eat tree branches? Are you worried that carnivorous canines will steal them from you?

An Sheng scratched his head, speechless, not really wanting to pay attention to the treasure tree ant clinging to a twig like a precious gem. "You guys do as you please! I'm going home to eat the tea eggs that A Qing cooked for me in the kettle."

An Sheng sighed, handed over the matter of the Red Fire Ant family to Wang Qiqi and the others, and walked out of the conference room.

The fox, pacing leisurely on all fours, raised its head as it passed Liu Lingyu, asking her with a hint of curiosity:

"I remember you said before that you were busy with some paper model. How come you have so much free time today to come to our school and put up banners?"

An Sheng's biggest impression of Liu Lingyu was that she was quite stubborn, on par with an Akita and a Shiba Inu.

She seemed to be busy with some thesis. When she was chatting with A-Qing earlier, she was cursing and saying that her supervisor definitely suffered from mental fastidiousness and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Her thesis was rejected several times, as if the devil himself had manifested on earth, torturing her to the point of near death.

Liu Lingyu, who was in a hurry to finish her thesis, was now squatting here like a street urchin. An Sheng couldn't help but wonder if her devilish tutor hadn't skinned her alive.
"My mentor doesn't have time right now," Liu Lingyu said, looking at Master Fuli with a confident expression.
"I sent my second uncle out, and my supervisor is probably completely disoriented right now, so he doesn't have time to continue managing our papers and models."

"Is what you're saying legal?" Master Fuli looked at Liu Lingyu with a surprised expression.

Sisters, the guys from the Security Bureau are right there in the conference room next door, communicating, coordinating, and arranging tasks to prepare for the excavation in Ma Wang Village.

Yet you're saying here that sending hermits out of the mountains to use magic to bewitch ordinary people—you probably want to go to jail!

"How is it illegal? I was just trying to be helpful by introducing my mentor to someone! My second uncle is known as the most handsome temple keeper in the Qinling Dao Alliance, a super handsome, mature, and charming uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lingyu, still somewhat unconvinced even when facing Master Fuli, retorted.

Her civil engineering mentor wasn't unattractive or anything; she had been married before, but due to work, she frequently traveled all over the country, and the long-distance relationship ultimately led to the breakdown of her marriage.

Although the mentor was fairly good-looking, he was a bit too muscular, with his chest muscles dominating his chest area, which made it difficult for him to remarry after menopause.

In order to get leave to visit the Fox Spirit, she even brought out her super handsome older man and used her charm to seduce him.

"???"

Master Fuli, utterly bewildered, squatted on the ground, looking at Liu Lingyu, whose expression held a mixture of pride, relief, and gratitude, and began to complain:

"I thought you'd cast a spell on your mentor, but I never imagined cultivators would do things so down-to-earth."

“Whether you cultivate or not, you still need to eat. Having a criminal record will make it hard to find a job, and your descendants will even have difficulty taking civil service exams.” Liu Lingyu said matter-of-factly, “We do things very properly. At most, we’ll get administrative detention for things like fighting or gambling.”

"so."

"Fox Spirit Master" Liu Lingyu looked at Master Fuli with anticipation and said, "We are truly devoted to goodness and fully meet the criteria for a virtuous man and woman. We, the cultivators of the Qinling lineage, sincerely beg you, Fox Spirit Master."

"Stop, stop, stop"

Master Fuli raised his hand, turned his head, looked into the conference room, and called out, "Wang Qiqi, come out here."

"Hmm?" Wang Qiqi peeked out, holding up her phone and looking at Master Fuli with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't bring my business card with me, so please introduce me, Master Fuli, to all of you kind men and women."

Lord Fuli raised his head proudly, displaying an expression of utter righteousness, and gave the order.

Wang Qiqi: "."

This...this might not be a very good idea, right?

Liu Lingyu was full of doubt. Did the fox spirit have any other special identity besides being a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
