Chapter 399 - Paying A Quick Visit
Li Guanqi mulled over the matter and felt that something was off.
Could the Crimson Blade Sect and Ghostly Spirit Sect truly be that foolish? It made no sense. Neither faction was large, and he had earned a fearsome reputation in the outside world. The Daxia Sword Sect was growing stronger by the day, and the two sects lived practically next door. Where did they find the nerve to pull something like this?
Logically, they should’ve been hiding with their tails between their legs.
Li Guanqi took out his jade slip. “Elder Qin, you know that the Qiongtai Mountain Residence supplies herbs to the sect, right? Have you guys noticed anything strange lately?”
Qin Xian, who was cultivating, slowly opened his eyes. Very few people could contact him through his jade slip. Once he listened to the message, a sense of unease took hold. He immediately sent his subordinates to investigate.
He eventually replied. “I’ve looked into it. Their recent batches have been inconsistent in quality, but still acceptable. The administrator in charge of procurement said their supplies have been arriving late lately. Other than that, nothing stands out.”
Li Guanqi put down his jade slip, still lost in thought.
Ye Tianying shot Su Xi a glare and sent her a voice transmission. “See? I told you we shouldn’t say anything. Now you’ve put him in a tough spot.”
Su Xi huffed. “But we can’t keep enduring this in silence! And we’re supposed to supply the Daxia Sword Sect anyway. If someone’s harassing us, talking to him is the best choice.”
Li Guanqi looked up at them with a smile. “Uncle Ye, Aunt Su, leave this to me. I have a few questions, so I’ll go ask them myself.”
Ye Tianying nodded. “Alright, you can ask them... Huh? Ask them? Nephew, you’re going to those two sects?”
Li Guanqi clasped his hands behind his back and chuckled. “Talking to the people involved is always the cleanest solution.”
