Qu Lin took a seat across from Jiangli, sat down at the tea table, and kept his smile intact, "Last ti in City B, I heard it was the Abbot who saved Zhu Ming and also saved mbers of our Xuann Association. We should have co to thank the Abbot sooner, but I was tied up recently, and then heard that the Abbot had gone abroad. Yesterday, I saw the Abbot’s live stream on the forum and learned that the Abbot had returned, so I ca to disturb you abruptly and hope the Abbot can forgive ."
Jiangli didn’t want to hear his pleasantries and directly said, "President, your visit surely isn’t just to say these polite words. If there’s sothing you want to say, just speak directly. I don’t like beating around the bush, it’s too much trouble to guess."
Pei Jiu’s face was as dark as could be.
Bai Changfeng felt a bit uncomfortable upon hearing this.
Qu Lin, however, didn’t flinch even in the face of Mount Tai’s collapse, "What the Abbot says is right. Nowadays, people have beco very cunning and like to talk in circles, which indeed isn’t great. Since the Abbot said so, I’ll be straightforward."
He smiled and said, "Actually, I ca this ti to invite Jiaoyang Temple to rejoin the Xuann elite list and re-enter our Xuann Association."
Jiangli raised an eyebrow but didn’t speak.
Qu Lin continued, "Of course, I know that Pei Liang and Uncle Du ntioned this matter to the Abbot before and were refused. Originally, I shouldn’t bring this up again, but Jiaoyang Temple used to lead Xuann, and the Abbot is such a great talent. Now, spiritual power has dwindled, and our Xuann is also declining. If the Abbot is willing to let bygones be bygones and re-enter the Xuann list, it would truly be a joyous occasion for our Xuann Association!"
Jiangli chuckled lightly, "Re-enter?" She took a sip of tea and slowly traced the rim of her cup with her fingers, saying, half-smiling, "Does the President know what re-enter ans?"
Qu Lin, being an astute person, imdiately understood Jiangli’s aning and apologized, "Yes, excluding Jiaoyang Temple from the Xuann list was our mistake; we were inconsiderate. It was entirely our fault. I won’t explain more here, but I just hope the Abbot can forgive and, if the Abbot truly can’t let go, please instruct us on what we need to do to appease the Abbot."
Pei Jiu couldn’t help but furrow his brow upon hearing Qu Lin’s words.
He couldn’t understand why Qu Lin behaved so humbly in front of Jiangli.
Why try so hard to please Jiangli?
Although Jiaoyang Temple has Jiangli now and can indeed escape its decline, what’s the big deal about just one Jiangli?
The conditions to enter the Xuann list are extrely stringent.
With Jiaoyang Temple’s current status, it’s simply not enough to join the Xuann list.
Letting Jiaoyang Temple re-enter the Xuann list is considered giving Jiangli face.
Moreover, entering the Xuann list only brings benefits to Jiaoyang Temple without any harm.
Why would Jiangli refuse?
If she really refuses, it’s to her disadvantage.
Why should they lower themselves like this?
"Qu Lin, your words are overly courteous." While Pei Jiu was feeling baffled, Jiangli spoke indifferently, "How could our Jiaoyang Temple bear such treatnt?"
Qu Lin replied seriously, "You’re too kind, Abbot. We originally did wrong, and both emotionally and logically, Jiaoyang Temple should be appeased."
Jiangli leaned her arm on the table, supporting her chin, "So, in order for to calm down, Qu Lin and the Xuann Association would do anything?"
Pei Jiu and Bai Changfeng slightly furrowed their brows.
Qu Lin, however, candidly said, "Naturally, as long as the Abbot can calm down and is willing to re-enter the Xuann list."
