Chapter 754: Chapter 754: Don’t Trouble Two Masters with One Matter
Xia Xin scratched his head and tentatively asked, “If we use the Purification Talisman to cleanse the Yin Energy, perhaps we can awaken him?”
Jiangli’s brows furrowed.
Xia Xin’s heart clenched, and he imdiately realized that he had misspoken.
Without another word to him, Jiangli turned to ask Jiang Yongxin and the others, “Does your Jiang Family have any silver needles?”
Jiang Yongxin was taken aback, just about to speak.
But an unpleasant voice ca from the doorway.
“Are you also from Xuann?”
Everyone in the room looked over.
They saw a man with a swollen forehead and a goat beard standing at the door.
The man was dressed in a Taoist Robe and was injured.
And he was at the Jiang Family’s estate.
His identity was self-evident.
Presumably, he was the Master Wu that Master Sun had ntioned.
Jiangli saw a layer of faint spiritual energy on him that was barely visible.
Such poor innate talent.
Jiangli said disdainfully in her heart, but her face showed no change of emotion, rely responding indifferently with a hum.
Seeing her indifferent reaction, Master Wu ca over in a rage, “As a mber of Xuann, you should be aware of the rule: ‘One should not invite a second master for the sa task.’ The Jiang Family has always cooperated with ; why do you suddenly co to interfere?”
Xia Xin’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flicked to Jiangli.
Indeed, within Xuann, there was such a rule—do not hire a second master for one task.
Firstly, it was not proper to sha a fellow sect mber.
Secondly, it was to avoid conflicts and malicious competition between mbers of the sa sect.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, for a matter like this, once a family has hired a master, that master should see the matter through to the end.
Unless the person hired actively seeks help from other sect mbers.
Similar to Zhu Ming and Master Xiaoqiao’s situation, that was permissible.
But to actively undercut a fellow sect mber’s business was not allowed.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli just chuckled lightly.
Master Wu felt even more slighted by her laughter; his eyes blazed with fury, “What’s so funny about what I said? What are you laughing at, you little girl? In terms of age, I am old enough to be your master. Don’t you understand the concept of respecting your elders and betters?”
Jiangli let out a cold snort of laughter, “You, be my master?”
Master Wu felt that Jiangli was challenging him and gritted his teeth, “In terms of age, I have more than enough years to be your master!”
Jiangli clicked her tongue, “In this lifeti, I never recognized a master. To be my master, you would have had to be born a few thousand years earlier. It’s too late now.”
“You!”
Master Wu gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to directly confront Jiangli.
But Jiangli preempted him, “However, you are correct. ‘One should not invite a second master for the sa task,’ so please, handle the Jiang Family’s matter.”
She casually stepped aside, cocked her head at Master Wu, and gestured for him to step forward.
Thinking she had finally acknowledged the pecking order, Master Wu huffed, “You naive young girl, overestimating yourself. Such matters should still be left to !”
He then turned his gaze to Jiang Yongxin and He Xiui.
“Madam Jiang, one must not trust just anyone. Our families have cooperated for many years; you should trust , not so outsider or stray dog.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Xin couldn’t hold back.
His eyes widened, ready to speak out.
But Jiangli raised her hand to stop him, looking nonchalant.
Xia Xin felt a surge of anger welling up in his chest as he glared at Master Wu.
He Xiui and Jiang Yongxin, hearing their words, were unsure of whom to trust for a mont.
He Xiui had been like a headless fly; she didn’t want to make a choice, only pleading desperately, “Master Wu, please see what is wrong with my son. Can you awaken him?”
“Leave this matter to ,” Master Wu confidently said.
He flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand, giving Jiangli a sidelong glance with a tone full of sarcasm, “After all, I’ve eaten more salt than so have eaten rice, and with my years of cultivation, I’m naturally capable of solving this.”
