Chapter 481: Chapter 481: The Ancestral Warning Talisman

Jiangli spoke in an indifferent voice, "I’ve studied the Xuanmen Five Peerless Techniques to some extent, though I’m not proficient, they are barely usable."

Xun Tianhai: "..."

Excuse me, is this Versailles?

Even though he still didn’t know if the warning talisman would actually work, the abilities Jiangli demonstrated on Yan Mountain couldn’t just be described as ’barely usable.’

If Jiangli’s level of skill was just ’barely usable,’ then what did that make them?

Xun Tianhai’s mouth twitched involuntarily as intuition told him this was indeed Versailles.

Yet, looking over, Jiangli’s face was the picture of calm, his eyes clear, as if he had absolutely no other thoughts on the matter.

Xun Tianhai thought perhaps he was overthinking it and decided to temporarily let go of the matter, "Thank you, Abbot. I’ll deliver the talisman to Meng Hongyao in a bit, there should still be time."

"Has she already set out?" asked Jiangli.

Xun Tianhai replied, "Yes, she should be at the airport by now, but it’s not time to board the plane yet. If I hurry over now, I should be able to make it."

Jiangli nodded thoughtfully, "Right, about that Zhu Ming from the forum, do you know him?"

Xun Tianhai expressed surprise, "Zhu Ming?" He suddenly remembered last night’s event where Jiangli drew a free slot for a fortune-telling session, "Right, the Abbot drew Zhu Ming’s name. Did he come to seek a divination from the Abbot?"

Jiangli hummed noncommittally.

Xun Tianhai said displeasedly, "What is Zhu Ming playing at? Doesn’t he know that he shouldn’t request divination from fellow sect members?"

"That’s actually not a problem," Jiangli didn’t mind it, "I just wanted to ask Director Xun for a favor. Please tell Zhu Ming that if something happens and he wants to seek my help, the price will be doubled."

Xun Tianhai’s eyes twitched as it dawned on him, "Is something going to happen to Zhu Ming?"

"Mhm, he is about to face a blood calamity, and there’s a serious risk he may lose his life. Tell him to be careful," Jiangli replied, a slight smile on his face.

Xun Tianhai looked at Jiangli’s smiling face and inexplicably felt a chill, "I’ll, I’ll ask around..."

"Then I’ll leave it in your hands, Director Xun. If he needs to contact me, you can give him my contact information," Jiangli winked and waved at Xun Tianhai, then walked over to a vehicle by the roadside.

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly to Xun Tianhai and then turned to follow Jiangli away.

Xun Tianhai stood there, watching as everyone got into the car and drove off. He then came back to his senses, quickly pocketed the Talisman Paper, walked towards the police garage, and took out his phone to call Zhu Ming.

He and Zhu Ming...

In fact, were both from the Xun Family.

The Xun Family was one of the noble Xuanmen families in H City. Xun Tianhai was a principal descendant of his generation in the Xun Family, while Zhu Ming was considered an Outer Sect Disciple.

He was a disciple brought in by one of Xun Tianhai’s uncles from outside.

Their relationship had always been strained.

Xun Tianhai was rigid and stubborn, while Zhu Ming was always scheming to get ahead in life.

Their ideologies clashed, they rarely communicated, and they would quarrel at their occasional meetings.

Now that they were older, such occurrences had lessened.

However, the relationship between them had not improved much.

It took a while for Zhu Ming to answer when Xun Tianhai’s call went through.

Before Xun Tianhai could speak, Zhu Ming’s sarcastic tone came from the other end of the phone.

"What’s this? Director Xun has time to call me today? Has the sun risen from the west?"

Xun Tianhai’s expression darkened, not in the mood for Zhu Ming’s nonsense, and asked directly, "Did you go to seek a divination from the Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple yesterday?"

Zhu Ming let out a cold laugh, "Yes, I did. What about it? Is she afraid that I’d see through her baseless predictions and has sent you to lodge a complaint against me?"
