"Furthermore..."
"The situation earlier, it was this girl who covered for you. As a 'Demon Hunter Patrol', I have the authority to act first and report later, as a Ninth-Grade Official!"
"Boy, you've entered the Xie Mansion. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, it won't be that easy to leave."
Xie Wutong smiled sweetly, without the slightest intention to win over Jixia just because he had spiritual-level talent.
Just like she said.
Spiritual-level talent corresponds to a prodigy of a governnt office, certainly impressive, but she had grown up seeing such talent.
Compared to these...
She was more interested in the secrets Jixia carried.
To this, Jixia's smile remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this mont.
He then unhesitatingly brought out a 'big shot':
"My influence certainly isn't sufficient."
"But..."
"How about the master of this martial art?"
Xie Wutong furrowed her brows: "Hmm?"
"Decades ago, the Xie Family should have had an elder surnad 'Song Chai Xin,' who, judging by the years, should be your 'grandfather.'"
Swish!
The girl's eyes turned cold as she drew her sword, resting its blade on Jixia's neck. Though she showed no killing intent, her words were already harsh:
"Who exactly are you?"
"And what's this about grandfather!"
"I call that person uncle, clan uncle!"
"Why are you lowering my seniority for no reason?"
Xie Wutong ground her teeth with hate, while also being curious about who this 'martial art' master in Jixia's words could be.
How did he know so many secrets?
As for why she didn't suspect Jixia...
What a joke!
A young man who, just over a month ago, was walking on thin ice...
How could he possibly have such deep scheming and shrewdness?
"Uh?" Jixia was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xie Wutong's seniority to be so high.
Looking at Xie Wutong's age, could it be that those who were the sa generation as him were still so charming even in their fifties or sixties?
No wonder the Xie Clan was supported by only one person.
There was a reason.
He lowered his face, using two fingers to flick away the sharp tip of Xie Wutong's sword, maintaining his composure even under her murderous gaze:
"My master, Tantai Yao, was an Elder of the Zither Sword Pavilion several decades ago."
"This 'teor Chasing Moon Fist Scripture' was passed down to by him a few years ago."
"Of course, this letter was recently ant for Elder Xie and has nothing to do with ."
"After all, my face isn't that useful yet."
"According to him,"
"the letter ntions a person."
"That person is the clan uncle we just ntioned."
The Pavilion Master of the Zither Sword Pavilion, Xu Nian, has been waiting 57 years for Tantai Yao with his sunflowers, without reunion.
As soone who was once rescued from Xuanqing Lake, deeply in love with 'Xie Wei', yet departed to Tongye State, Ten Extres Pass, it is unknown where Tantai Yao might be today.
Jixia felt no burden in exaggerating his story.
After all,
his direct purposes were clear.
One was to et Xie Qiaoxuan.
The other...
As he looked at the girl in front of him with wide eyes, clutching his collar:
"You just said this letter is related to that clan uncle?"
"Then why doesn't that Elder Tantai you ntioned just co and et himself?"
The girl's eyes filled with inquiry and danger.
And Jixia shrugged:
"That elder said that your family ancestor would chastise him as 'worthless', 'beast' upon eting, so he prefers not to et and is entrusting fully to negotiate with Mr. Xie Qiaoxuan."
"He also ntioned that since I carry the spiritual body, in favor of his na, a friendly relationship with the Xie family shouldn't be refused."
Xie Wutong released her hold, twirling a lock of hair around her pinky, frowning deeply:
"You..."
"You actually know such secrets?"
She sowhat believed.
Yet she still felt it odd:
"But how can you prove this letter is significant to our ancestor? What if it's re hearsay, or he simply doesn't care about what your master says?"
Jixia's eyes beca profoundly deep for a mont:
"If the ancestor sees this letter."
"He certainly won't remain indifferent."
Xie Wutong laughed, poking Jixia's chest teasingly with her fingers:
"You really boast recklessly; that's the Xie family's ancestor, not yours."
"It's just a letter without evidence, rely your master's opinion unwilling to show face, ntioning a clan uncle of mine."
"If it were that elusive Elder Tantai of yours, who never returned to the Zither Sword Pavilion, perhaps I would believe but..."
"To have the third-step ancestor of my Xie family co and see a re constable like you?"
"Saying it aloud might cause everyone to die laughing."
Jixia remained unfazed, smiling:
"Whether it is or isn't..."
"It will be known as soon as it's delivered."
"Either way, it's just a glance, right? It shouldn't be hard for Miss Xie, should it?"
With that, he handed over the letter.
Xie Wutong hesitated.
Eventually, she did not refuse:
"You really are peculiar. If not for your fright today with your spiritual body, I'd certainly beat you out with clubs."
"But go ahead and send it, since indeed my ancestor frequently ntions that 'clan uncle' of mine, he might actually summon you..."
"He will et." Jixia's smile remained unchanged.
Though it wouldn't be the Xie family's ancestor lowering himself to summon him.
Rather...
Xie Qiaoxuan would traverse mountains to these Black Mountains to verify a 'fact.'
Because...
The handwriting from back then, was personally taught by Xie Qiaoxuan, stroke by stroke.
Upon seeing the letter,
as well as the 'hidden language' left behind.
Everything would be understood.
"By the way."
At this mont, Jixia casually said to Xie Wutong:
"Miss Xie, as part of the Demon Hunter Patrol, besides 'capturing demons', you also have a duty to oversee cris committed by martial artists, correct?"
"Of course."
Xie Wutong folded her arms, puzzled as to why Jixia suddenly veered off course with such a question, yet she answered truthfully:
"Our Demon Hunting Departnt doesn't always have many demons to hunt,"
"Apart from carrying out orders to purge demon offshoots, most of the ti it involves overseeing martial artist cris."
"Though..."
"Ordinary matters normally fall outside our scope, if we encounter sothing, we will intervene."
"Hmm..."
"If sothing unfair happens to you, you can speak up."
"This girl can also make decisions for you."
Thinking of her investnts, and today's letter from Jixia along with his manifestation of spiritual prowess.
He had proven his worth.
Thus, Xie Wutong patted her chest, giving her assurance.
But...
She couldn't expect.
The issue Jixia wanted her to handle...
Was actually, this significant!
