âIt wasnât our fault that he wasinjured!â said Ning Xunzong, displeased. âIt was the Chengâs who injured him.He should be mad at them. Let me put it this way, if we donât inform him of thethree geezersâ plan, wouldnât he be more upset at once he finds out?â
âWe can just pretend that we donât knowabout it either. You want to report to him you can go by yourself!â replied shi xiong Zhou impatiently.
Ning Xunzong, who was just about to saysomething else, kept his mouth shut. He had always listened to shi xiong Zhouâs words and never thoughtabout disagreeing with him.
Shixiong Gu could tell that Ning Xunzonghadnât quite figured it out yet so he explained to him explicitly, âShi di Ning, you are aware that ourassociate dean will be rushing over to Willow soon, right?â
âYeah, I have heard about that,â noddedNing Xunzong, and still baffled, âWhat does that have to do with anything?â
âNonsense, it has everything to do witheverything!â Even shi xiong Gu almostlost his temper, grudgingly he explained, âDonât you know how much the Chengâshate School of Divine Condor. Not even instructor Mu was able to accomplishmentanything. What do you think he could do if you report that to him now? Youthink he could forbid the three elders from going to Willow?
âAnd if instructor Mu donât have thepower to stop the three from going. Then our informing him of it would just belike adding fuel to fire. And heâd displace his anger to us. Now we are justasking for it. Do you get it now?â
His simple yet straightforward wordsfinally let Ning Xunzong knew to not be an idiot about this. But he wasnâtready to give up just yet, âWhat happens if they were really able to get insideWillow tomorrow?â
âWhat can we do? Itâs not like we can stop them. Not to mentioned thatthose from Lai Yue Inn had already had dealings with the Chengâs and purchasedtheir mystical animals. Whatâs the point of being anxious now?â\nNaturally they have all heard of theheated discussion out on the streets. The more Ning Xunzong thought about, themore he couldnât just let it go to rest. Gritted his teeth, he said, âShi xiong Zhou, shi xiong Gu, how about this? Why donât we follow behind the threegeezers tomorrow and see if they are able to get into Willow? What do youthink?â
âFollow them secretly?â
âAnd you donât think theyâd notice withtheir level of cultivation?â
Both of them rolled their eyes at NingXunzongâs suggestion.
âWe know the way to go there too. We canfollow from afar. I am not suggesting for us to go with them. We just want tosee whether they will be able to get inside of Willow!â
Ning Xunzongâs eyes sparked and he leton an odd smile and said, âAnd if they were able to get through, we cansecretly follow them in also. We an see if any of the Willow villagers can beof use to us. And if they canâŚ.â
His words have finally piqued theinterest of the other two. They exchanged the look and saw the excitement ineach othersâ eyes. Shi xiong Zhoucouldnât help but nodded, âYeah, all we need to do is to follow from a distanceand not alert them. As for going inside WillowâŚâ
âShixiong Zhou, the Willow villagers are probably quite close with the Chengâs.Nothing wrong for us to get close to them!â smiled shi xiong Gu brightly.
âYou are exactly right!â smiled shi xiong Zhou, his eyes sparkling, âIsay we go prepared. Shi di Ning, youtoo. Remember to bring plenty of cash!â
