Old Man Ji Xun was cautious indeed—even in Gray Descent, he spoke so softly.
Besides, Fu Qian hadn't actually entered it. His state was more like that of a receiver after a makeshift tuning, and the sound quality was genuinely poor.
Even so, Fu Qian was certain he'd heard the name of that infamous organization.
Was the Ji Clan's strange behavior actually connected to this?
What a twist of fate!
After clicking his tongue in amazement, Fu Qian strained to listen.
"I'm sure you've heard of this organization..."
"It was originally just a small group holed up in the archipelago. In less than half a year, it's already made a name for itself..."
"We kept it from you because the matter involved too much. For now, the fewer people who know, the better..."
"In fact, among everyone at the estate, only a handful know..."
"It's a shame you were so stubborn..."
"Now you know what you wanted to know. We'll also get to the bottom of the attack. And as a member of the Ji Clan, I hope you'll put the bigger picture first..."
So, had the Rebirth Club made some kind of deal with the Ji Clan?
As Ji Xun delivered his heartfelt lecture, Fu Qian quickly picked out a few key points.
As expected, there was often more to these seemingly minor irregularities than met the eye.
But this secret... As the Rebirth Club's shining star, juggling multiple roles and navigating all sorts of affairs, how could he not know about something this important?
That was outrageous!
Fu Qian was incensed.
"So you're saying the Rebirth Club drugged Mother just to get our attention as a joke? And then you went along with the joke?"
Of course, he wasn't the only one who was unhappy.
