Patriarch Xi nodded solemnly, "That's right, that person … or should I say that group of people, they are very powerful. Last night, all the guards were taken down without knowing what was going on."
The three elders sucked in a sharp breath when they heard Patriarch Xi's words. Who would have thought that this person was so powerful?
"How did Schilling's Shadow manage to offend such a powerful person?" Patriarch Xi asked the other three elders present.
Of course, none of them would have thought that the mastermind behind all this was Xi Mengjia. For the sake of Schilling's Shadow, Xi Mengjia was willing to spend so much money to hire people from the Mercenary Union.
"Could it be …" Elder Xi suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened in shock, "That person is here for the Jade Qilin?"
Second Elder and Third Elder sat up straight when they heard the words' Jade Qilin '. The Jade Qilin was the Xi Family's treasure, the Xi Family's status!
"I do have such suspicions. Everyone in Beian City knows that the Jade Qilin is a treasure of the world. Many of our peers and those of the same generation have seen the power of the Jade Qilin with their own eyes. I really can't help but suspect it because Xi Nuoying's outstanding performance in the competition this time has reminded some people of the Jade Qilin's existence."
"Patriarch Xi, are you saying that some people suspect that Schilling's Shadow was able to pass the tournament with the help of the Jade Qilin?" Second Elder asked with a frown.
Elder Xi pondered for a moment and then decided, "That must be the case. Schilling's Shadow is a good-for-nothing. That is the best explanation."
The discussion hall quieted down. The four old men lowered their eyes and fell into deep thought. They fell into a silent and heavy atmosphere.
"Patriarch Xi, what does this have to do with you allowing Schilling's Shadow to move into the Jade Clan Residence?"
Patriarch Xi leaned back in his chair, his gaze distant, "Since that person is so sure that the Jade Qilin is in Nuo Ying's hands, then why don't I just go with the flow and let them target Nuo Ying instead of us? No matter what, the Jade Qilin cannot be stolen."
Hearing this, the three elders all sat up straight.
What the Family Head meant was that he was going to push the boat along the way. By letting Schilling Shadow move out of the courtyard, he was indirectly proving that the Jade Qilin was with him. This way, those who coveted the Jade Qilin would find trouble with Schilling Shadow, and the main residence would be safe.
The three of them nodded seriously, thinking that the Xi Clan Leader's decision was brilliant.
"Patriarch is wise."
Patriarch Xi's calm expression was somewhat emotionless. Old Li's eyes shone with wisdom. At this moment, or perhaps it should be said that in this position, there was no such thing as kinship in his eyes, only the interests of the family.
What was the point of having Schilling's Shadow? Without her, the Xi family wouldn't feel any pain, but without the Jade Qilin, the Xi family would be finished …
If the four people in this room knew that they were plotting something that didn't exist … Their expressions would be quite interesting.
Time always passed quickly during cultivation. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
In these four days, the entire Xi family was filled with resentment and jealousy. However, this intense resentment couldn't reach the level of the Jade Clan Residence because Schilling's Shadow had the protection of the main residence's guards.
As for Xi Mengdie, she was busy preparing for the final accounts. She decided to let Schilling's Shadow enjoy himself for a few days. During the finals, she would definitely teach Schilling's Shadow a lesson.
