Chapter 1392: Returning Home
Some matters need not be rushed. Qi Xuansu’s top priority was still to return to the capital and report on his duties. He could hardly abandon Huangfu Ji and deal with this first, as that would be entirely inappropriate.Qi Xuansu still had a long road ahead, and he was young, so there was no need to hurry. To accomplish earth-shaking feats, one must first tread upon thin ice.
Since Li Ping was safely kept in Ye Qingshuang’s territory, ensuring secrecy was no difficult task. Once Qi Xuansu had time, he would find an opportunity to gauge Li Zhuyu’s stance before making further arrangements.
At this point, Qi Xuansu could not help but sigh. There were still too few people he could truly rely on.
That was because he lacked family backing and had risen too quickly. Though he had subordinates, he did not have time to cultivate true confidants.
Lin Yuanmiao was one, but he mainly followed Zhang Yuelu, and his primary duty was to look after Little Yin.
Thus, Qi Xuansu often had to entrust matters to Zhang Yuelu. Fortunately, she never fussed over such things.
Qi Xuansu had no patience for dealing with a temperamental, troublesome woman. Though Madam Qi liked to tease him, when it came to serious matters, she was always decisive and efficient. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuelu was an unwavering ally.
Besides Lin Yuanmiao, Chen Jianchou could also count as a confidant, but he was still somewhat inexperienced, not yet ready to be entrusted with independent responsibilities.
In truth, Qi Xuansu did have confidants, such as Genki and Chen Jianqiu, but they were outside the Daoist Order, making it inconvenient for them to intervene. Within the Daoist Order, he had no shortage of allies but too few reliable subordinates, so he still had to handle many things personally.
Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji did not remain in Sahul for long. This incident was but a minor interlude. Soon, the delegation departed for Poluo, Qi Xuansu’s home ground.
The lineup in Poluo was far stronger than in Sahul. There was a Great Sage and an Omniscient Sage as Mansion Masters, with many Deputy Mansion Masters who were high-level Sages.
