Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257: How Dare They
Fu Shiyan spoke, “Let’s go, let’s get sothing to eat.”
Everyone responded positively and went along with Fu Shiyan and Jiangli to the restaurant.
Fu Shiyan had reserved a al in the hotel restaurant.
Once they arrived at the reserved spot, the food was served shortly after.
The restaurant was now crowded.
Qing Yue glanced around, estimating that most were here for the competition.
These people returned a bit earlier yesterday, but not by much, probably just woke up for a al at this ti.
Each one still looked disinterested, yawning repeatedly, as if lacking the energy even to eat.
As Jiangli and Fu Shiyan entered, those people perked up slightly, scrutinizing them with a few glances, seemingly eager to speak, but ultimately dared not approach.
While Qing Yue was looking them over, they were secretly watching Jiangli.
When Qing Yue noticed, they quickly lowered their heads as if nothing had happened.
Qing Yue found it amusing and joked, “It seems that the Abbot is now seen as no different from a flood or fierce beast to them, everyone is very afraid of the Abbot.”
Upon hearing this, Jiangli turned to look.
Those who had once secretly observed Jiangli lowered their heads even more.
Jiangli saw this and appeared indifferent, “Whatever, I’ve seen this often.”
Fu Shiyan paused his steak-cutting action, the next second returned to normal.
Xia Xin eating pasta, heard the conversation between Qing Yue and Jiangli, sowhat confused, “Why are they afraid of the old ancestor? If it weren’t for the old ancestor yesterday, catching Xu Yanyan, who knows what the situation would be now, they should be grateful to the old ancestor, shouldn’t they?”
Qing Yue chuckled lightly, “Saving soone from peril surely garners gratitude. However, if that peril wasn’t ordinary, but a fierce ghost that no one could solve, yet the Abbot solved it, how do you think they would feel?”
Xia Xin was still a bit muddled.
Qing Yue continued, “Moreover, I heard a rumor, Xu Yanyan was previously suppressed within that building because people from the Xuann Association couldn’t handle her, had to suppress her instead, a fierce ghost beyond the entire Xuann Association’s capability, Jiangli solved single-handedly, they indeed felt grateful at the ti, but after gratitude? There’s only fear left.”
They don’t know Jiangli’s depth, especially having seen Jiangli openly challenge Grandmaster Qu Lin; naturally, their apprehension toward Jiangli grew.
Grandmaster Qu Lin is the president of the Xuann Association, known for his good reputation within Xuann.
Jiangli rendered Grandmaster Qu Lin speechless, unable to refute, even leaving Xu Yanyan for Jiangli to handle.
Under such circumstances, fearing or being wary of Jiangli is quite normal.
Xia Xin understood.
But understanding is one thing, displeasure is another.
Xia Xin surveyed the crowd, glaring at them fiercely, mumbling, “If it weren’t for our old ancestor’s help, they’d have died long ago, no matter what, they shouldn’t act like this.”
Qing Yue scrutinized Jiangli, smiling playfully, “Yes, if only they thought like that, but what if they think—’why didn’t Jiangli solve Xu Yanyan right away, instead waited until so many of them died before taking action, what does that an?’, it’s not impossible.”
Jiangli lazily glanced at him, indifferent, or rather, unconcerned.
Xia Xin anwhile widened his eyes, “They still dare to think this way? How dare they think this way?”
