Chapter 737: Discussion
The Qingping Society could not force Xie Linyuan to take action, so Qi Xuansu also bore part of the responsibility as a persuader.
Since the area was already shielded with formations to block internal and external spying, Qi Xuansu had no reservations and spoke frankly. “This time, it’s not just the Qingping Society. The main force is the Daoist Order.”
Surprised by this, Xie Linyuan asked, “Whose decision was it?”
Qi Xuansu lowered his voice and answered, “It was personally arranged by Sage Donghua.”
Xie Linyuan understood and slowly nodded his head.
As the Chief Omniscient Sage, Sage Donghua could not be simply compared to the Imperial Court’s Prime Minister. Sage Donghua also bore the status of a “crown prince” because he had an immense chance of ascending to the position of a Grand Master. However, no matter how many years the Prime Minister served, he would never become an emperor. This was the greatest difference between the two, so their weight were not comparable.
Qi Xuansu continued, “Sage Donghua will remember the goodwill of all those who offer help.”
This was a promise made by the Daoist Order’s heir apparent. If Sage Donghua truly became the Grand Master, then the operation would count as contributions made alongside the future ruler.
Although Xie Linyuan was a court official, he was not confined solely to the court, nor did he want to be just a servant of the court. Otherwise, he would not have joined the Qingping Society.
Xie Linyuan was hesitant. “My injuries have not fully healed. At most, I can contend with the Innkeeper. But the Owner...”
Qi Xuansu interjected. “Madam Qi will handle him by herself.”
