Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 510 - 240, a slap on the face as soon as we meet_3
He certainly did not want to agree. He had just sworn allegiance to the Ziqing Holy Sect at Yunmeng, and upon returning to Huilong Pass, he immediately leaned toward Great Jin. Was he still considered a person of the Rakshasa Holy Sect?
This was not just about the problem of a crafty rabbit having three burrows. If he agreed to these people’s invitation, it was not just for show; there would be responsibilities. With Zhao Qingxue in the Ziqing Holy Sect, he believed Moxuzi would not make things too difficult for him. As for the Rakshasa Holy Sect, there was no need to mention; so far, he had done nothing that harmed the interests of the Holy Church. Although Sikong Yue and Zhan Taiqing remained somewhat vigilant toward him, it was still within a controllable range.
The case was different with Great Jin. Hou Yuxiao’s understanding of Great Jin was all hearsay, and he had no reliable contacts within its ranks. Given the current situation, joining rashly would likely mean becoming cannon fodder...
These thoughts in his mind decided that the Hou Clan could not possibly serve Great Jin!
But the problem was, he dared not refuse either!
In fact, even if Tuoba Tao himself had made the offer, he could not have refused, let alone when one of the three emperors, Tuoba Zun, personally did the recruiting. No matter how courteous Tuoba Tao and Wanyan Lie appeared at the moment, if he truly refused, who knew what the two would do?
So, he could only play the quail and remain silent!
He believed these clever individuals would understand his hardships.

Due to Hou Yuxiao’s silence, the entire tent fell into a strangely peaceful atmosphere. Tuoba Tao and Wanyan Lie stared intently at Hou Yuxiao. As neither of them spoke, naturally, no one else did.
The expression in Tuoba Tao’s eyes shifted slowly from initial anticipation to disappointment and then gradually took on a chill. It was uncertain if he could understand Hou Yuxiao. He spoke in a low voice, "The Master of Hou Family need not rush. Take your time to think it over. My ancestor loves talents but would never force anyone. Whenever you make up your mind, you can always come to me!"
Hou Yuxiao breathed a sigh of relief internally, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
This expression of thanks, to tell the truth, was somewhat sincere. If Tuoba Tao really had forced him, he would have no choice but to comply for the sake of survival. Then, if the Rakshasa Holy Sect ever found out, it would spell trouble for the Hou Clan.
He dared not stay any longer. After expressing his gratitude, the expressions on the faces of Tuoba Tao and Wanyan Lie clearly turned colder; continuing to stay would simply be asking for embarrassment.
Upon leaving Great Jin’s tent, Hou Yuxiao forced himself to appear calm as he walked away, though his Mind and Spirit were constantly aware of what was behind him, fearful that Tuoba Tao’s followers might come after him. Even though the Demon Sect of Great Jin was currently allied, the Hou Clan could only be considered as a subordinate of the Holy Sect, not actually of the Holy Sect itself. If Tuoba Tao and his people decided to be unreasonable without the support of the Holy Sect, he had no choice but to stay vigilant.
Fortunately, nothing untoward happened by the time he returned to the Demon Sect’s eastern army tent. Hou Yuxiao finally breathed easily, found the center tent of the Demon Sect’s army, quickly reported his identity to the guards at the door, and obtained Zhan Taiqing’s permission before entering the tent to report back.
"Subordinate Hou Yuxiao, greets the sup..."
As Hou Yuxiao walked into the tent, he had barely bowed when a palm strike hit him squarely on the shoulder, cutting him off.
His brow twitched violently. Yuan Qi gathered around his body to resist, but the palm strike was not only powerful but also bizarre. Although he tried to block with both hands, the palm strike simply curved around and imprinted itself directly on him.
Bang!
After a loud noise, nearly half of Hou Yuxiao’s body was buried in the ground. He looked up at Zhan Taiqing’s frosty face, utterly dumbfounded.
Greeting someone with a slap, was this woman sick!
"Master of Hou Family, let me advise you, it’s not so easy to enter Great Jin’s door."
