Chapter 1360: Chapter 1361: The Unlucky Xuanqing Sect (1)
"Where is everyone?! Has everyone died?! Send reinforcements now! Hurry!"
In the meeting room, Long Zaitian, dressed in a black robe, slammed his palm on the table, creating a loud thud. His face was overcast, as if he were a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment.
Shao Xing sat frowning in his chair, a cigarette burned to the end without him noticing. He suddenly raised his head, gazing complexly at Chiang Yu, who sat as steady as a mountain in his seat. This middle-aged man wore an ordinary white shirt neatly, even at this late hour of the night.
"Ha, the Think Tank sure is in high spirits. You’re the most neatly dressed here, anyone who doesn’t know might think you don’t sleep at night!"
Chiang Yu’s feather fan paused as he looked deeply toward the Snake King at the end of the conference table. It was he who had just made the sarcastic remark.
"Vice Hall Master Wang truly loves to joke, it’s just a habit of living." Chiang Yu replied lightly.
Long Zaitian slowly raised his head, casting a thoughtful glance at Chiang Yu.
"Think Tank, do you have any ideas for tonight’s situation?"
"Two ideas: call the police, or mobilize the elite troops to fight with all our might."
As soon as Chiang Yu’s words fell, the Snake King’s sarcastic laughter echoed, "Ha! Call the police? Mr. Chiang, you are indeed the Think Tank. We are people of the martial world! You want the Sect Leader to call the police for a martial clash?! Do you want everyone to laugh at the Sect Leader?! What are your intentions?!"
The Snake King’s repeated provocations angered Chiang Yu. He gave the Snake King a cold look, then turned his worried gaze to Long Zaitian. He already didn’t trust him, and with the Snake King’s provocations, it seemed his opinion of him would worsen.
Sure enough, Chiang Yu saw coldness and suspicion in Long Zaitian’s eyes, but no trust.
With a bitter smile, Chiang Yu slowly stood up from his seat, "I’ve shared my ideas. The enemy is very powerful, and if we mobilize the elite troops, even if we win, we’ll be gravely weakened. It’s better to call the police and let the police chief, Director Zhang, handle this. I’m feeling a bit unwell, I will take my leave first."
Saying this, Chiang Yu took his feather fan and slowly walked out of the meeting room.
"Hmph! Running away as soon as things get tough! How come he’s not this fast when there’s something good!? Sect Leader, I’ve said you’re too lenient with him. He’s just a small Think Tank, yet he treats himself as something special!" The Snake King grumbled discontentedly.
"Snake King, no one will take you for a mute if you don’t speak!" Annoyed by the Snake King’s nagging, Shao Xing slapped the table, glaring and shouting.
The Snake King’s voice abruptly stopped, his face looking unpleasant as he lost face in front of everyone.
Long Zaitian, who hadn’t spoken all this while, suddenly lifted his head. His sinister gaze landed straight on the Snake King, causing his face to turn pale in fright.
"Snake King, this is your first and last warning. The Xuanqing Sect is not a place where you act on personal whims!"
At this moment, Long Zaitian’s aura was icy, even his words carried a sharp chill. The Snake King was so frightened by Long Zaitian that he went limp and even forgot to reply.
Long Zaitian was in no mood to dwell on these matters right now. The only thought in his mind was that the root of the Xuanqing Sect must not be harmed!
"Ah Xing!" Long Zaitian suddenly spoke.
Shao Xing nodded, holding his breath and focusing, waiting for Long Zaitian’s instructions.
"Call Director Zhang and have him handle it!"
The Director Zhang Long Zaitian referred to was the same Director Zhang Chiang Yu had mentioned earlier, the one who had a close relationship with the Xuanqing Sect and consistently suppressed Zhao Zhenxing. He was the one who wouldn’t even allow Zhao Zhenxing to leave when Madam Zhao fell ill.
