The next day.
In a room of a certain hotel in Beijing.
"The matter of the Tang Sect, hmm … Xu Xin, one of the thirty-six people back then, is not only alive and well now, he's even the current Tang Sect Leader. Such a big matter can't be hidden, and there's no need to hide it …"
Liu Xiaojiang sat in front of the sofa in the living room of the room and put his feet on the high-end wooden coffee table. He played with the apple that was originally placed on the coffee table with one hand and held his phone to his ear with the other.
"Besides, with the company watching, if Xu Xin's matter is hidden, it'll be easier for those sects who also had 'traitors' to come looking for him …"
"After all, no matter what their true thoughts were back then, at least on the surface, that group of people did indeed deal with the traitors in the sect according to the agreement. Now, if the company isn't watching, they might join forces to go against the Tang Sect for some 'legitimate reason'."
"Besides …"
"In the eyes of the other Mutants, the most important thing in the situation of the Tang Sect this time is obviously not the family affairs of the Tang Sect like Xu Xin, but the outsiders like you …"
"Huh?" On the other end of the phone, Zhang Chulan was puzzled.
"Hey, are you surprised?" Liu Xiaojiang sensed the reaction on the other end of the phone and couldn't help but slowly raise the corners of his mouth.
"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's talk about you, Zhang Chulan … The moment you appeared, you were Zhang Huaiyi's grandson, the heir of one of the Eight Strange Techniques. Even if you 'proved' yourself on Mount Longhu back then, do you think you've completely gotten rid of suspicion?"
"After that, after coming down from Mount Longhu, you, Zhang Chulan, were involved in the major incident in Bi You Village …"
"And now …"
"You even went to the Tang Sect with Quan Xing, directly causing the death of the Tang Sect Leader, Tang Miaoxing, and the reappearance of Xu Xin, one of the thirty-six thieves back then …"
"Take a guess. Do you think you're someone who can jump around in the eyes of others?"
"At this time, even if they don't have any ill intentions towards you and are purely interested in the gossip in the circle, combined with your actions during this period of time, they can only roughly divide this incident into two views …"
"First, in order to save your grandfather's sworn brother, you secretly used Quan Xuan to wreak havoc in the Tang Sect …"
"Secondly, the company has been unable to obtain the Tang Sect's true cooperation, so they specially sent you to the Tang Sect to stir up trouble …"
"However, no matter what the truth is, and no matter which of the two points mentioned above is correct, the fact that the Tang Sect has suffered a heavy blow because of their underestimation of you … will only be acknowledged by everyone."
"Chu Lan, congratulations. If you want to attract everyone's attention so that you can protect the baby in your shadow, you've succeeded. In the eyes of others … you're simply the most troublemaker in the company."
"Whoever you go to, something bad will happen to them …"
"Whoever you find will lose a layer of skin …"
"Haha … but because of your identity as an employee of the company, and because of your smart way of doing things, others basically can't do anything to you. You're simply more annoying than Quan Xuan!"
"…" Zhang Chulan.
"That's enough …" Liu Xiaojiang noticed Zhang Chulan's silence and reminded him.
"Now that things have developed to this point, it's fine if you're the only one jumping around under the noses of others. At least a lot of people will temporarily focus their attention on you. This is much better than letting more people find out about the baby's special situation."
"Also …"
"Chu Lan, you should have already found out, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to follow Quan Xuan and the others to the Tang Sect …"
"Yes, that's part of the reason. But if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come to the Tang Sect with Quan Xuan and met Senior Xu Xin …" Zhang Chulan said knowingly.
"Xia Liuqing looked for Granny Jin Feng back then probably because of Sister Bao 'er. And recently, she deliberately didn't mention Sister Bao' er … It's also very likely that they really found out something."
"If it's confirmed to be true …" Liu Xiaojiang went silent for a moment, then asked slowly, "What do you plan to do?"
"… Brother Liu, to be honest, I don't know." Zhang Chulan hesitated.
"Because of Granny Jin Feng?" Liu Xiaojiang wasn't surprised.
"… Yes," Zhang Chulan said.
"What's there to hesitate about?" Liu Xiaojiang said after pondering for a moment.
"Do what you think. If you don't want to become the kind of person you hate, then take a little risk accordingly …"
"Besides …"
"Granny Jin Feng might not know anything. If she clearly knew about Bao 'er's special condition, why would she go to the Tang Sect to ask Xu Xin about what happened back then?"
"… That's true." Zhang Chulan heard these words and made a quick decision.
"… Is that why you called me?" Liu Xiaojiang realized that Zhang Chulan didn't seem to be really hesitant, so he couldn't help but wonder why he suddenly called.
"… Ah, you found out. I told you that Brother Liu isn't someone who can be easily tricked, but you still insisted on making me …"
"Shut up! Damn you, Old Zhang! You haven't hung up the phone yet! Aren't you selling me out?! "
"…" Liu Xiaojiang.
"Brother Liu, Taoist Wang asked me to make this call. He asked me to ask you how you should treat Granny Jin Feng. Did something happen between you two before?" Zhang Chulan's voice became clear again on the phone.
Hearing this …
Liu Xiaojiang immediately rubbed the corner of his eyes and said helplessly, "Let Wang Ye answer the phone …"
After saying that, he heard another conversation on the other end of the phone. Then, Wang Ye's helpless voice came from the phone.
"Hello? Old Liu … "
"Old Wang, there's no need to say anything about me. I know what I'm doing." After Liu Xiaojiang heard Zhang Chulan say the reason for his call, he almost instantly understood that Wang Ye might have known that he was the mysterious person who ambushed him at WuTang.
"What you're worried about hasn't happened. I'm not just doing this for myself …"
"… What do you think about the new sect leader, Ying Gou?" After pondering for a moment, Wang Ye said something that sounded unrelated to Liu Xiaojiang. It was obvious that he had temporarily accepted Liu Xiaojiang's explanation.
