Capítulo 1144: Chapter 1144: Discussion
Seeing Qu Lin and those people from Sang Country talking and laughing, Xun Tianhai curled his lips, “In this kind of situation, only your master could endure it. Clearly, each of them is itching to harm the other, wishing to tear the opposite side into pieces, yet they have to pretend like everything is perfectly friendly. It’s really hard for your master.”
Bai Changfeng laughed at his words, “If you spend less time using your mouth and more time cultivating your patience, you would be able to bear it too.”
Xun Tianhai immediately shook his head, “I can’t manage that. If I like it, I like it; if I don’t, I don’t. If I could pretend, would I be standing here?”
Bai Changfeng teased, “If you aren’t standing here, where do you want to stand?”
Xun Tianhai said, “Then I’d definitely be in the sky, floating high for all the world to see!”
Bai Changfeng chuckled, “I’ve noticed, old Xun, you’re getting more cheeky by the day.”
Xun Tianhai laughed heartily, “Just joking. By the way, I have some good news for you.” He quickly switched to business mode, “I confirmed with Jiangli that she will represent Jiaoyang Temple in the upcoming competition.”
Bai Changfeng was a bit surprised, “How did you think of going to Jiangli, and how did she agree?”
Upon hearing this, Xun Tianhai was also a bit surprised, “Wasn’t it Master Qu Lin who asked me to contact Jiangli? You didn’t know?”
Bai Changfeng frowned, “My master asked you to contact Jiangli?”
Xun Tianhai said, “Yes, the president sent me a message saying that since I’m more familiar with Jiangli, I should reach out and persuade her to participate in the competition. You didn’t know?”
Bai Changfeng shook his head and couldn’t help but look forward.
Master Qu Lin was having a pleasant conversation with the leader from Sang Country, rumored to be the vice president of the Yin Yang Masters Association.
A vague feeling stirred within him again, as if a sense of unease was spreading.
Xun Tianhai was also a bit puzzled, “Such a big matter, and the president didn’t tell you?”
Bai Changfeng uttered a low “hmm.”
This was unexpected for Xun Tianhai.
He coughed, feeling like he must have misspoken, and attempted to mend the situation, “Well, perhaps it wasn’t finalized, so the president didn’t tell you. But now that Jiangli has agreed, it’s definitely a good thing for us. Her participation increases our chances of winning.”
Bai Changfeng forced a smile, “True.”
Xun Tianhai did not take it seriously, patting Bai Changfeng on the shoulder.
Bai Changfeng smiled at him, indicating that he was fine.
With many people from Sang Country up ahead, the two couldn’t chat much.
The group returned together.
Master Qu Lin and others first escorted the people from Sang Country to the hotel partnered with the Xuanmen Association.
Afterward, they returned to their residence.
Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng followed Master Qu Lin and Uncle Wei Jiu into Master Qu Lin’s house.
This time, the elders of the Xuanmen Association were all present, having come to discuss the details of the competition with Master Qu Lin.
After entering, Master Qu Lin greeted them and invited everyone to sit down.
Master Qu Lin sat in the grand chair and looked up at Xun Tianhai, “Tianhai, have you contacted the Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple?”
Xun Tianhai stood in the living room of Master Qu Lin’s house.
Master Qu Lin’s residence was an old dwelling, a small courtyard with a beautiful environment, a vast living room with ten chairs arranged on both sides.
At the forefront were two grand chairs.
Master Qu Lin and Uncle Wei Jiu sat at the top.
Both sides were the elders from the Xuanmen Association or other families.
Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng were the youngest in seniority, and could only stand.
