Chapter 1357: Chapter 1358 This Is Just the Beginning (3)
Long Zaitian’s eyes were sinister, his gaze subtly glancing at the seat where Chiang Yu had just sat.
"I never thought this was the doing of that little girl, but then I recalled what Chiang Yu said a few days ago, and it reminded me."
Shao Xing frowned, yet it was Chiang Yu again! Ever since he joined the Xuanqing Sect, Shao Qiang and he never had a good impression of the pretentious Chiang Yu!
"Adoptive father, what did that charlatan say?"
"He said the reason An Yiqing could establish herself in Xuandu City wasn’t just because of the connections with the An Family and the Gu Family. Without some real skills, how could she possibly gain Old Master Gu’s trust and favor? At that time, I thought that little girl merely had a pretty face that charmed Gu Yelin, but it seems I misjudged!" Long Zaitian sighed deeply. Even though he didn’t like or trust Chiang Yu, he couldn’t deny that Chiang Yu saw things more clearly than he did.
Shao Xing was still somewhat skeptical, "Adoptive father, can a mere girl really be so formidable? Chiang Yu always exaggerates, boosting others while undermining himself. I think what he says can’t be trusted!"
"Then why do you think, right after we dealt with An Yiqing, this incident happened? Why did she show no reaction at all after such a major car accident a few days ago? Do you think a woman who can charge into Jinyin City with a few employees is a simple character? Or do you think Gu Yelin’s vision is only stuck on that pretty face and not seeing what’s inside her? Ah Xing, we’ve been riding smoothly for too long in the Xuanqing Sect, becoming increasingly complacent!"
Long Zaitian felt some regret in his heart; he indeed underestimated An Yiqing! He should have realized that with the discerning eyes of Old Master Gu and Gu Yelin, how could they be drawn only to her family background and looks? If An Yiqing had no abilities, how could she have firmly become the top lady in Xuandu City in just half a year!
Since ancient times, virtue is said to be a woman’s talent, but Long Zaitian made the mistake most men make, thinking a woman couldn’t stir up any waves; otherwise, how would the Xuanqing Sect end up in its current state?
But no matter how much regret now, it’s too late. Hua Zhifeng and Pei Yuanzhi are already thoroughly enraged, and the entire upper echelon of Xuanjin is starting to tremble!
"Adoptive father, according to what you say, is there no hope for Xuanqing Sect this time?"
"Hmph, not necessarily!" Long Zaitian snorted coldly, "How could the Xuanqing Sect, which has stood firm for hundreds of years, be taken down by just a little girl! I want to see what tricks An Yiqing and the people sent by the big bosses can pull in Jinyin City!"
In an instant, a strong killing intent exploded from Long Zaitian, stirring Shao Xing’s emotions.
Just as the two were filled with ambition, a loud "boom" suddenly exploded, shattering Long Zaitian and Shao Xing’s high aspirations into dust!
"What happened?!"
Shao Xing’s face changed dramatically, and he rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking down from above, the location of the Xuanqing Sect headquarters’ front hall was now engulfed in thick smoke, with the raging fire growing fiercer!
At that moment, the conference room door was suddenly slammed open from outside, and a high-ranking member of the Xuanqing Sect rushed in, flustered.
"Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! Xuanqing Sect received a bomb; now countless brothers are dead or injured!"
Long Zaitian and Shao Xing’s faces suddenly turned from white to green, from green to purple, from purple to black, their expressions changing through various colors, unexpectedly fascinating to behold.
"What are you still standing there for? Go do the rescue! If there’s any damage to the headquarters, I’ll have your heads!"
