Chapter 1289: Moon in the Sky
“I heard back in the study just now that someone wanted to confront me face-to-face. Who is it?” Sage Cihang said with a smile, looking entirely unlike her usual dignified self.
Xiao Yueru immediately reported, “It’s Sister Zhang’s husband!”
Qi Xuansu smiled and admitted, “Sage, I merely want to ask you, how long is my marriage with Qing Xiao going to be delayed?”
Sage Cihang said, “I haven’t delayed anything. I’ve already discussed all the relevant matters with Madam Qi.”
At that, Sage Cihang paused slightly, then abruptly changed her tune. “I already told Madam Qi to pull you out first, but she refused and said we were trying to snatch you away. Now she knows how it feels, doesn’t she?”
The smile vanished from Qi Xuansu’s face in an instant. “Sage...you knew all along?”
“I knew a little,” Sage Cihang didn’t deny it. “But now it seems more complicated than I imagined.”
Qi Xuansu wasn’t surprised that Sage Cihang knew. After all, Sage Cihang was only second to the Heavenly Preceptor within the Zhengyi Sect.
Aside from Zhang Yuelu, everyone else was completely baffled, not understanding what kind of riddling exchange their brother-in-law and master were having.
So, this was what the elders were discussing.
Qi Xuansu finally felt just how formidable the Daoist Order’s upper echelons were for being all-knowing.
Sage Cihang merely reminded him of his place, then ordered the family banquet to begin.
