Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Turmoil in Xuanmen
Jiangli impatiently said, "If I were asleep, would I still be talking to you now?"
"True..."
Xia Xin awkwardly smiled.
He rubbed his hands and kept giving Fu’er meaningful looks.
Fu’er sniffed and hesitantly asked, "Ancestor, are they here to invite our Jiaoyang Temple to re-enter the Xuanmen roster?"
Jiangli: "Eavesdropping?"
Xia Xin immediately explained, "It’s not eavesdropping! Didn’t Uncle Pei Jiu and Uncle Du mention it once last time? Then, a few days ago, before we went out of town, Uncle Pei Jiu even sent me a private message saying he wanted to visit, but we were out of town and missed it, and unexpectedly they came today. So, I was thinking, could it be because of re-entering the Xuanmen?"
Upon hearing this, Jiangli gave a faint "hmm."
Xia Xin and Fu’er exchanged a glance.
Xia Xin cautiously asked, "Ancestor, they’ve invited us twice already, shouldn’t we agree?"
Jiangli waved a fan nonchalantly, "Why should we agree? The predecessor of today’s Xuanmen Association was founded by me alone. Entering and leaving is my freedom, who else has the right to expel or invite? Furthermore, I don’t think much of the current Xuanmen Association."
Xia Xin: "..."
This doesn’t seem right.
Clearly, the ancestor previously said they should be invited three times, but now it sounds like she doesn’t plan to rejoin the Xuanmen roster?
Xia Xin was suddenly a bit doubtful.
Fu’er also felt something was off, but what Jiangli said made sense.
Jiangli once was the Sect Leader of Xuanmen, controlling the entire Xuanmen with everyone looking up to her.
After years of absence, her sect was kicked out of the Xuanmen roster just like that.
Want her to rejoin? Impossible.
It’s already restraint that Jiangli doesn’t cause an upheaval in the Xuanmen Association now.
Thinking about it, Fu’er accepted it, "If the ancestor doesn’t want to rejoin Xuanmen, then we won’t. Anyway, Jiaoyang Temple isn’t relying on them."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xin paused, nodded, and agreed, "Fu’er is right. We don’t have to join the Xuanmen Association; the most important thing is the ancestor’s happiness."
Jiangli hummed softly, then suddenly changed the subject, "However... That Master Qu Lin is quite interesting."
Her words were full of mockery and sarcasm.
Ordinary people, like Uncle Pei Jiu and such, would have walked away by now.
Of course, that’s the effect Jiangli wanted.
But Master Qu Lin’s response was completely unexpected to Jiangli.
Jiangli couldn’t quite understand what was in this person’s mind.
"I’m not familiar with Master Qu Lin either, I only know he’s the current president of the Xuanmen Association, and I’ve heard he’s quite formidable. Everyone in the Xuanmen Association is very deferential to him." Xia Xin rubbed his chin and shared everything he knew.
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "Forget about Qu Lin for now. Before leaving, he mentioned that Xuanmen is about to experience a turmoil. Do any of you know anything about this?"
Xia Xin and Fu’er exchanged a glance.
The next second, both of them shook their heads simultaneously, knowing nothing.
Jiangli frowned, "Xia Xin—"
Being called upon, Xia Xin immediately stood at attention, "Here!"
Jiangli was amused by his stance, "Go and ask around on the forums, see if there’s any recent turmoil in the Xuanmen Association."
Xia Xin was a bit puzzled, "Ancestor, aren’t we not planning to rejoin Xuanmen, why ask about this?"
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "Just go if I tell you to. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles, understand?"
Xia Xin still didn’t quite understand, but under Jiangli’s threatening gaze, he quickly responded with an "oh," hurriedly held his phone, and logged onto the forum.
However, after browsing the forum for a while, Xia Xin couldn’t find any special news.
