Chapter 209: The Discussion
“You had never seen him before?”
Li Huiwu frowned.
All the elders looked at the second elder.
“This was what happened. My little granddaughter came back and brought a senior from the sect. When I heard about it, I immediately ran over to meet him. In the end, the incident with Niu Hao happened and a fight broke out.”
“Li Jiao came back? Where is she?”
Only then did someone react.
Li Huiwu rolled his eyes at this slow-witted elder and continued, “Second elder, go and call Li Jiao over. We’ll ask her. Remember, don’t disturb that senior!”
“Yes!”
The second elder retreated.
“Clan leader, why don’t we collectively pay our respects to the senior and show our Li family’s etiquette?”
The sixth elder said.
“Forget about it. Before we pay our respects to him, we had to find out if we were disturbing him or not.”
Li Huiwu glanced at the sixth elder and fell into deep thought.
The sudden battle with the Niu family had revealed too many things that he had not noticed before.
There was also what the second elder had mentioned. How did Niu Hao and the others know about the Li family’s internal meeting so clearly?
And how did the Niu family knew so much about the Li family’s internal arrangements?
Who was the mole?
At this moment, the Li family was circling the second elder’s house, with the surrounding houses collapsed.
Some of the houses were still emitting thick smoke.
Thick smoke and dust drifted to the surroundings.
Only one courtyard was not disturbed by the thick smoke.
Compared to the dilapidated surroundings, the houses here were intact as if nothing had happened.
Li Jiao arranged for her aunt to escape here.
Seeing that everything was in good condition, she was surprised for a moment and then let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the war did not affect this place.
She knocked on the courtyard door.
“Senior, are you there?”
Li Jiao felt a trace of anxiety in her heart.
She hoped that the big battle just now did not disturb senior.
“Yes!”
A faint voice sounded.
It was as if the tragic incident in the Li family had nothing to do with him.
Calm!
Peaceful.
Li Jiao’s heart trembled.
Was senior angry?
The surroundings had turned into flat ground. This courtyard was just a little bit away from being destroyed.
He was so close to being implicated.
“Senior, were you alright?”
“I’m fine!”
“Senior, you were not angry, right?” Li Jiao asked carefully.
“What was there to be angry about? It was not worth it!”
There was a hint of laziness in his faint voice.
“Right! It was not worth it to be angry with those orcs! Senior, if there’s nothing else, I have to go and save the others.”
Li Jiao heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that this battle had not stirred a single ripple in senior’s heart.
As long as senior was not angry!
“Go!”
Not long after Li Jiao left, the second elder came looking for her.
A moment later, Li Jiao was brought to the hall.
When the elders in the hall saw Li Jiao, their narrowed eyes widened.
They sized up Li Jiao from top to bottom.
“Li Jiao, I heard that you brought a senior back from the Xuantian Sect?”
After seeing Li Jiao, Li Huiwu was also stunned.
That’s right!
A spirit manipulation realm martial artist.
In just a little over a year, a junior from their small family had stepped into the spirit manipulation realm from the acquired realm. The Xuantian Sect was really powerful.
In the Li family, Li Jiao could forget about stepping into the spirit manipulation realm for eight to ten years.
“Yes!”
Li Jiao nodded.
Hiss~
She brought a person back.
If that was the case, then this senior was probably the one who pushed the ox men out earlier.
When the elders heard Li Jiao’s answer, their bodies trembled.
Their Li family would be saved.
“What position does this senior hold in the Xuantian Sect? What is his cultivation level? What does he like and dislike?”
“This… I know everything about the family head!”
Li Jiao shook her head.
It was a complete accident that she got to know this senior.
Since the senior had treated her illness, she wanted to thank him by inviting him to Zi Yang City to entertain him. The senior agreed!
She did bring the senior here to see if she could help the Li family.
However, she did not dare to make use of her senior.
She had only hinted to him on the way, but he did not say anything, so she did not dare to ask further.
“You don’t know what position he held in the Xuantian Sect?”
“I don’t know!”
“What about his hobbies?”
“He likes to travel around and view the scenery!”
“Viewing the scenery?”
The elders looked at each other.
The scenery around Zi Yang City was indeed not bad, but it still depended on what he was comparing to?
Compared to the Xuantian Sect, it was too far off.
Compared to the famous scenic area, it was also incomparable.
“Then what about his cultivation?”
Li Huiwu asked.
Swoosh!
All the elders stared at Li Jiao.
Then, everyone’s ears perked up.
Anticipation!
Li Jiao immediately felt a sense of pressure.
“I don’t know!”
She shook her head with difficulty.
The hall instantly quieted down.
Sigh.
Then, the hall was filled with sighs, sadness, and resentment.
“Why didn’t you try to find out this senior’s cultivation?”
One of the elders pointed at Li Jiao and said.
“Stop blaming her. It’s enough that my little granddaughter brought back a senior. What more do you want?”
The second elder glared and said angrily.
Angry!
His little granddaughter came back at a critical moment. Even if she didn’t bring anything, it was still love for the Li family.
What did those people mean?
“Stop arguing! Li Jiao, let me ask you. Have you tried to guess this senior’s cultivation level? For example, have you seen him fight?”
The first elder stretched his neck and asked.
“No!”
“You didn’t encounter any robbers on your way back?”
An elder asked curiously.
“No!”
Li Jiao still shook her head.
Eh?
Then, the hall was filled with surprising voices.
“You guys were too lucky.”
“How was that possible?”
“Don’t forget that when you guys went there, there were quite a few people from the Xuantian Sect protecting you. Even then, there were robbers along the way.”
Li Huiwu said.
“I don’t know why either. We did not encounter robbers along the way.”
As Li Jiao spoke, she also felt that it was strange.
Just like the elder said, when they were taken away by the green-clothed disciples of the Xuantian Sect, they did encounter many robbers along the way.
They were all resolved by the green-clothed disciples.
As for experts above the virtual realm, once they attacked, they would be discovered by the Xuantian Sect, so they didn’t dare to attack them.
“Think about it carefully. It would be impossible, right?”
Liu Huiwu asked again.
“No!”
Li Jiao still shook her head firmly.
Indeed, they did not encounter any robbers on the way back.
In many places, either when they went there, the other party had just finished robbing.
“That was strange!”
The elders looked at each other, obviously feeling incredulous about Li Jiao’s good luck.
“Li Jiao, go back and let him know that the Li family would bring all the elders to visit tomorrow. If this was interrupting him, then forget it.”
Li Huiwu said.
“Yes!”
Li Jiao left.
At first, the hall fell into silence.
Then, they started discussing.
“Strange, it was too strange. Li Jiao didn’t even know his position. What was she doing for the past year?”
“My little granddaughter had only entered the sect as an official disciple for a few days. She had been a new disciple for more than a year. How could she get in touch with the true management of the Xuantian Sect?”
The second elder retorted.
“Don’t think too much. Prepare a gift tomorrow to meet this senior!”
“Clan leader, I don’t think the one who attacked today was this senior from the Xuantian Sect!”
The sixth elder said.
“What did you mean by that? Don’t tell me the Li family had other experts?” The second elder stared at the sixth elder.
