Chapter 210: I’m Still Young, I’m Innocent
"What a joke, as if the Yue Family deserves this. All they have is one barely surviving patriarch who has barely made it to the Elder Council. Does that make them qualified to preside over such significant matters in the Inner Sect?"
"I heard a bit of news, though. It’s said that our Sect and the Devil Gate are going to war, full-scale warfare. This task of vein control this time may be intended to secure logistics in advance, specifically assigning one vein to handle logistical tasks."
"What on earth... I heard that Elder Qianhu wants to expand into the Fox Language Demon Forest in the west, planning to enlarge the perimeter of the Sect, hence he set up this vein-opening task."
"Well, I heard something different. There’s a situation in the Qinglian World, and they’re preparing for expansion into the Lower Realms."
"What in the world... why are there so many different versions? And what does this have to do with that Yue Lai guy?"
"Well, not entirely. In the few versions I heard, it was the Ancestor of the Yue Family who spurred things on, eventually granting the first prize winner of this competition the vein control right. If it weren’t for him, there were plans specifically to select someone for the task."
"I see, no wonder there are rumors throughout the Entire Sect that the Ancestor of the Yue Family has manipulated things for personal gain."
"This is probably a piece of news deliberately released by an elder who’s unhappy, just to unsettle the patriarch of the Yue Family!"
"He serves him right. I really can’t stand that showing-off Yue Lai. He thinks he’s so great. Without the support of the Yue Family, could he be much better than us?"
"······"
Wang Zijia listened quietly to all kinds of messages. The gossip these people talked about was entirely confidential within the Sect.
