Chapter 314: Gathering
As soon as Han Li spoke, Senior Sister Zhongwei’s face lit up with a broad smile, continuously praising him. Liu Jing also showed an expression of relief.
As for Song Meng, he stepped forward and firmly patted Han Li on the shoulder twice, grinning widely as he said,
“I really had good judgment of you. If you truly didn’t want to go, I’d have no choice but to cut ties with you. But I always knew Junior Brother Han was a man of spirit!”
After saying this, Song Meng shot a cold glare at Wu Xuan. It seemed Wu Xuan’s popularity among the senior brothers really wasn’t good!
Wu Xuan snorted upon seeing this and said,
“In that case, I’ll find another place to settle. I won’t disturb your big plans here. I will report everything to Master. I hope Master won’t hold it against you all!”
With that, Wu Xuan expressionlessly left the room and flew out of the Qin Estate on his flying device.
“Sixth Senior Brother really is disgraceful, retreating at the crucial moment. And he still has the face to call himself a senior brother!” Senior Sister Zhongwei said displeased.
“Forget it, everyone has their own will. We can’t force it! Let’s just arrange our plan early. The sooner we act, the safer it will be. After all, no one knows if that Black Death Cult Leader will emerge early,” Liu Jing said seriously.
“Senior Brother, since you have so much experience in eradicating rogue cultivators, just make the arrangements! Whatever you decide, we’ll follow. When the time comes, I’ll just focus on the fighting!” Song Meng said excitedly.
“Song Junior Brother, you!” Liu Jing could only shake his head helplessly, clearly at a loss on how to deal with Song Meng.
Senior Sister Zhongwei’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she sweetly smiled.
Han Li, meanwhile, smiled quietly without saying a word.
“Seventh Junior Sister, you are quite familiar with Junior Sister Chen who is under Senior Uncle Huiming’s sect. She’s currently in Nanwu City. You should go request her assistance! That would make it easier to ask,” Liu Jing said calmly after regaining composure.
“Junior Sister Chen is there too? I haven’t seen her for a while. But we’re good friends, so getting her help won’t be a problem,” Senior Sister Zhongwei said confidently upon hearing this.
Han Li’s heart skipped a beat when he heard “Junior Sister Chen.” He thought suspiciously,
“Could it really be her? Could it be that person?”
While Han Li was still pondering, Liu Jing’s voice came to his ears.
“Junior Brother Han, it looks like a few of us will have to stay at the Qin Estate for some time. We’ll need you to communicate with the Qin family and arrange a place for us to stay and cultivate in peace,” the composed Third Senior Brother said.
Han Li naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
“What am I supposed to do then?” Song Meng couldn’t help but ask, showing some impatience.
“You’ll stay behind to guard the Qin Estate in case the Black Death Cult members launch a sudden attack. I’ll occasionally go out to check the streets for any movements from their people. Junior Brother Han has already met them once, so it’s not appropriate for him to show up again,” Liu Jing said calmly.
“Got it!” Upon hearing this, Song Meng lost some of his enthusiasm, answering in a listless tone.
The following days passed in extreme calmness.
Except for Senior Sister Zhongwei who left early for Nanwu City to seek help, the others mostly stayed within the Qin Estate to cultivate and refine their energy. The Third Senior Brother Liu Jing, as he said, went out a few times but didn’t obtain any useful information. It seemed all the Black Death Cult disciples had hidden away, remaining low and cautious.
Wu Xuan stayed at an inn in Yue Capital. It was said he sent a letter to Li Huayuan, but no one knew what was inside. Afterwards, he was seen enjoying himself freely in the bustling areas of Yue Capital, showing no intention of returning to the Qin Estate.
