Chapter 967: Whole Pill (I)
Li Yuanqin cupped his fists and said softly, "Brother Fubo, you may not be aware. Though that Mount Yue cultivator, Fei Luoya, is a member of the Ning Family and publicly claims the Li Family stole his territory, in truth, he still harbors old sentiments toward my father. That’s why he deliberately revealed his whereabouts to me in secret..."
He laid out every clue he had observed, step by step, with each point well-reasoned and logically sound. Chi Fubo smiled as if enlightened, though inwardly he remained noncommittal.
Li Yuanqin said quietly, "There are still those within the Purple Mansion Realm who remain friendly to us... Daoist Master Changxiao is among their elites, so how can we be sure this wasn’t his intention all along?"
Only after these words did Chi Fubo show a hint of contemplation, and Li Yuanqin continued, "In the end, it’s likely that someone from the Purple Mansion Realm used this opportunity to tip their hand, hoping we might intervene and take a swipe at the Si Family.
"Things are only just beginning to surface, and much remains unclear. I leave the final decision to you, Brother Fubo!"
He cupped his fists and stepped back. Chi Fubo nodded in farewell and turned back to sit at the table.
This isn’t something to be trifled with. There’s likely deception here. Even if we take ten thousand steps back... why would Si Yuanli ever yield? Roundabout as it is... Yuanqin still wants to take control of the Li Family...
Irritation simmered in Chi Fubo’s heart, but he bore no grudge. It wasn’t just Li Yuanqin, elders like Chi Zhihu and even many of Chi Fubo’s own siblings had long harbored intentions to act. It was only his restraint that had kept them in check.
It’s far too soon, thought Chi Fubo.
Now that he’d come this far, Chi Fubo realized he could no longer meet the expectations of those around him. Be it Li Yuanqin or Chi Zhihu, they were both growing impatient.
