His words were quite pertinent, but what Zhu Caiwei wanted to say was simply “nonsense.”
Because she knew very well that the situation she told the Chi Qiong clan members was itself false. Her conflict with the Changliu Sect was not just a simple grudge, but more like a deep-seated hatred, especially after severely injuring Luo Mingbai. Xia Xianning had already come to Meng Chou Hill and would definitely not let her off.
But now, her grand plan was not yet complete. She couldn’t leave.
Zhu Caiwei had made up her mind. She took a breath and spoke to the elder, “Uncle Zhao, I understand your words, and I know you mean well. But I still have some unresolved issues. Since Xia Xianning has agreed to rest here tonight, let others entertain him. I also need to calm down.”
Her willingness to listen was remarkable. The clan members felt satisfied. Uncle Zhao said, “That’s good. Remember, we still have many people detained on their mountain. We must get our clan members back to Meng Chou Hill as soon as possible.”
Zhu Caiwei said, “I understand.”
Her actions had been excessive. Using the Chi Qiong clan members for personal revenge and then trapping them had caused dissatisfaction. But now, her reasonableness had somewhat restored her image. Others nodded satisfactorily and gradually took their leave.
Only Sundaban and Zhu Caiwei remained in the room. Zhu Caiwei picked up a teacup from the table and smashed it forcefully on the ground, feeling her suppressed anger dissipate with the sound.
Sundaban, not knowing what to say, tried to comfort her, “Anyway, you don’t care about those detained people. In the end, it’s just about a person from the Changliu Sect. He’s in the Meng Chou Hill territory, and his life and death are completely under our control. There’s no need to panic.”
A fleeting look of disdain crossed Zhu Caiwei’s eyes. She said coldly, “You’ve never seen Xia Xianning, so stop making such cold remarks. What you need to do is complete the task I assigned you and not waste my cultivation of you.”
Zhu Caiwei said, “I haven’t figured it out yet. For now, find someone to keep Xia Xianning in check. At the very least, ensure nothing goes wrong tonight. Beauty, alcohol, banquet – anything works, just keep him from finding me.”
