Chapter 892 - 878: Riding the Tiger
"An explanation, sure, let me give you one!" Ye Zhen laughed as he was about to say something when Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s divine soul telecommunication suddenly echoed in Ye Zhen’s soul sea.
"Ye Zhen, Jin Mu is the chief grandmaster artifact refiner of our Sun and Moon Divine Sect, don’t let things escalate.
Over two-thirds of the artifact refiners in our Sun and Moon Divine Sect are disciples of Jin Mu, and eighty percent of the sect’s artifact production is done by Jin Mu or his disciples.
Moreover, Jin Mu himself has crafted a mid-grade spirit artifact before, and he is the only grandmaster in the sect who can consistently forge low-grade spirit artifacts.
Don’t make things awkward for him, causing him to lose face."
These words from Jian Qianxiong took Ye Zhen by surprise.
It wasn’t surprising that Jian Qianxiong was advising Ye Zhen and even seemed slightly biased towards this Grandmaster Jin. Ye Zhen wasn’t surprised at all by this.
When considering the interests of the sect, not letting emotions interfere is what makes a competent superior, and Ye Zhen had seen this happen many times.
What surprised Ye Zhen was Jian Qianxiong’s confidence that Ye Zhen would humiliate the grandmaster before him.
If Ye Zhen knew that Jian Qianxiong had thoroughly investigated most of Ye Zhen’s deeds in the Black Dragon Domain, and coupled with Ye Zhen’s astonishing strategic ability demonstrated while handling affairs in Red Fire Martial City, this judgment wouldn’t be surprising.
A commander known for careful planning doesn’t openly challenge Jin Mu like this without being prepared.
Even though Jian Qianxiong himself couldn’t understand Ye Zhen’s confidence, despite his bewilderment, he trusted his judgment more.
