Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: Reminder
Xun Tianhai thought of this, calmed down, cleared his throat, and sent a voice message back.
"It was Changfeng who suddenly brought it up. I always felt there might be something behind it, but Changfeng didn’t go into details. I couldn’t pursue the matter, so I just reminded the Abbot to be cautious."
Jiangli repeatedly listened to the voice message twice.
It suddenly occurred to her—it was Bai Changfeng who invited her to D City.
She happened to encounter Mao Jiang and Spiritual Bone there.
At the time, she thought it was a coincidence, but looking back now, perhaps it wasn’t just a coincidence.
But if it wasn’t a coincidence...
Did Bai Changfeng deliberately lead her there?
Based on what Xun Tianhai said, perhaps this was guided by Master Qu Lin.
If it was Qu Lin’s guidance, it means Qu Lin already knew Mao Jiang was there, and had—in possession of her Spiritual Bone.
Was Qu Lin trying to verify her identity or probing something?
Jiangli recalled that Qu Lin had an excellent appearance, which didn’t reveal any malicious intent.
Could it be that she was mistaken?
"Ancestor..." Seeing Jiangli repeatedly listening to the voice message sent by Xun Tianhai, Xia Xin swallowed the food in his mouth and asked curiously, "Was there something wrong with the voice message from Chief Xun?"
Jiangli stopped the voice message and handed the phone back to Xia Xin, "Nothing, just tell him I know everything, and I’m aware."
Xia Xin responded with an "oh," and sent the message according to Jiangli’s words.
Xun Tianhai was just giving a reminder; there was no sign of anything now, so he just said it casually.
Knowing Jiangli was aware, he didn’t disturb her any further.
Xia Xin put the phone down, but couldn’t help his curiosity, "Ancestor, why does Chief Xun want us to be careful of Chairman Qu Lin? I find Chairman Qu Lin much easier to get along with than Uncle Pei Jiu."
Master Wu, hearing this, looked up from his food and asked curiously, "Do you know Chairman Qu Lin?"
Xia Xin casually explained, "They came once before when Master Wu hadn’t arrived at Jiaoyang Temple yet, so you’re unaware."
Master Wu asked curiously, "What did they come here for?"
Fu’er replied, "To persuade us to join the Xuanmen roster, but we didn’t agree."
Upon hearing this, Master Wu nearly choked on his food, "Whoa... Jiaoyang Temple isn’t in the Xuanmen roster?"
Fu’er glanced at him, "Only found out now?"
Master Wu looked stunned, "I really just found out..."
Fu’er responded indifferently.
Master Wu: "..."
He took out a napkin and quickly wiped his mouth, "How is Jiaoyang Temple not in the Xuanmen roster? You’re not Loose Cultivators, and I think you’re quite capable, right?"
Xia Xin cleared his throat and corrected, "Mainly because our Abbot is capable... Previously Jiaoyang Temple wasn’t that strong, so we were kicked out of the Xuanmen roster."
Master Wu: "..."
He really didn’t expect these things.
Master Wu clicked his tongue, "Then why didn’t you agree to rejoin the Xuanmen roster when they invited you back? Isn’t that a good thing? I heard that being in the Xuanmen roster allows access to public resources and tasks, which can earn you big money! Unlike us Loose Cultivators, who can only take small jobs and make small businesses."
Xia Xin, hearing this, didn’t know how to answer.
He also felt rejoining the Xuanmen roster was a good thing, but since the Ancestor didn’t want to, that was it, and it didn’t have much impact on them either.
Just as Xia Xin hesitated, not knowing how to answer, Jiangli glanced at Master Wu.
"What does it matter not being in the roster, do you plan to quit?"
