Chapter 1129: Object Creation Realm
Wang Jiaohe successfully dissolved all of Great Sage Jiang’s probing questions.
After all, Great Sage Jiang could not punish Great Sage Lan or definitively pronounce judgment.
Setting aside whether Great Sage Jiang even had such authority, even if he did, he could not do so. Matters of power were never simply about right or wrong. Balance was more important. If Great Sage Lan were punished, the entire balance would collapse, and rebuilding it would be an immense undertaking.
Great Sage Lan was like a load-bearing wall in the Poluo Daoist Mansion. Once removed, the entire structure would collapse.
Qi Xuansu had expected such an outcome. If Wang Jiaohe were that easy to topple, all this maneuvering would have been unnecessary.
After the council ended, attendees dispersed in small groups.
Great Sage Jiang left first, walking at the front. Wang Jiaohe followed as the second to depart.
Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong walked side by side, trailing behind the rest.
“Chief Deputy Qi, what do you think?” Xu Jiaorong asked.
Qi Xuansu sighed. “Perhaps Great Sage Jiang truly does wish to cure the illness and save the patient, but some people refuse treatment.”
Xu Jiaorong said softly, “If not for the rotten mess of the Nanyang United Trading Company, he might have genuinely slipped through the cracks.”
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment before saying, “We should take this as a warning for ourselves. Of course, these are minor details. What matters is standing in the right place.”
