Dongfang Chengji paid Meng Qiewei a visit.
Even he had to wait at the entrance.
If she refused to see him, he would have to turn around and leave.
Force his way in? Apply pressure?
That was impossible.
Unless he thought he had lived too long.
After a short wait, a voice came from inside. "Second Elder, bring him in."
The Second Elder shuddered, but still led him inside.
Soon, Dongfang Chengji saw Meng Qiewei in the courtyard. She sat there drinking water, showing no intention of offering him a seat.
The Second Elder was even more apprehensive.
Wasn't receiving guests supposed to be Miss Qing Dai's job?
What did it have to do with her?
Meng Qiewei raised her eyes to Dongfang Chengji. "What have you come to ask, Fellow Daoist Dongfang?"
Dongfang Chengji immediately said, "I spoke with the Ancestral Dragon. He mentioned something."
Meng Qiewei said nothing, simply waiting quietly.
Dongfang Chengji continued, "He said that while he was sealed, he saw the Xiang Family Ancestor.
"Someone later fought him."
"Drunken Floating Life?" Meng Qiewei asked.
Dongfang Chengji shook his head. "Jiang Man."
Hearing this, Meng Qiewei gently set down her teacup. "The Grand Elder has been clearing new land for long enough. Have him come back."
Dongfang Chengji froze, finding it rather hard to believe.
What a loss.
One perfectly good laborer gone.
But he was puzzled. Why did she suddenly want Ji Wuye back?
Meng Qiewei said calmly, "The Ji Family does need someone who can oversee things."
Dongfang Chengji was even more puzzled. That person could not be someone on the List, but apart from Meng Qiewei, the Ji Family's true mainstay
was Qing Dai. "Was Xiao Qingdai injured this time?"
Meng Qiewei poured herself a cup of water. "Her opportunity is coming."
