Chapter 641: Chapter 641: The Ancestor Says You Remembered Wrong

Jiangli heard the words and stretched out his hand.

"Director Xun, hold on a moment, I’ll give my phone to the Abbot." Xia Xin obediently handed the phone to Jiangli.

Jiangli took it and spoke calmly, "Director Xun?"

"Abbot, you’ve finally answered the phone," said Xun Tianhai, sounding absolutely elated.

Jiangli chuckled lightly, "Director Xun is being too serious, aren’t you? Didn’t you just call me?"

Xun Tianhai lamented, "I did just call, but Zhu Ming has been messaging you for so long without a reply. I thought you weren’t interested in dealing with this matter."

Jiangli’s eyebrows rose slightly, "Zhu Ming?"

Xun Tianhai immediately responded, "Yes, Zhu Ming. He’s run into some trouble! He called me this afternoon asking for help, pleading with me to get in touch with you. He said he had been sending you messages for half a day with no reply, and since he had no other contact information, he had to turn to me."

Jiangli picked up a yogurt from the table, tore off the straw wrapper, inserted it, and took a sip, his expression indifferent as he said, "Director Xun, since he called you asking for help, wouldn’t it have been easier for you to simply assist him? Why bother calling me?"

"This matter isn’t so simple. If it were something I could handle, I certainly wouldn’t trouble the Abbot with it."

Xun Tianhai sighed, evidently anxious.

Zhu Ming had told him that the situation wouldn’t be easy to resolve.

Zhu Ming was slightly less powerful than Xun Tianhai, and he had barely escaped with his life just yesterday. Even if Xun Tianhai were to go, he probably wouldn’t be able to solve the problem.

Therefore, Zhu Ming had gone straight to Xun Tianhai and asked him to contact Jiangli for help.

Xun Tianhai knew Zhu Ming was proud as the heavens.

Zhu Ming had never thought himself less capable than Xun Tianhai.

But he was also realistic.

This situation was clearly beyond what he and Xun Tianhai could handle.

If they couldn’t get Jiangli to come, they would have to ask one of the Xuanmen elders to see if the issue could be resolved.

Xun Tianhai, upon hearing Zhu Ming, a man usually so prideful, admit that the situation was difficult, realized the matter was definitely more thorny than he had imagined, which is why he rushed to contact Jiangli.

After listening to Xun Tianhai explain the situation, Jiangli asked, biting on the straw, "How is Zhu Ming now?"

"He says he’s barely hanging on to his last breath. He barely survived yesterday, but there’s something on his body that left a strange wound. The wound is getting worse, and he’s worried he won’t last much longer. I’m already on my way to City B now, Abbot. If it’s convenient for you, could you please go and have a look?"

Although Xun Tianhai didn’t like Zhu Ming and had clashed with him,

after all, they were from the same sect, and he couldn’t just leave someone to die.

With Xuanmen members already dwindling, he naturally didn’t want to kick Zhu Ming while he was down and harm a fellow sect member at a time like this.

So, upon receiving Zhu Ming’s call, he immediately got in touch with Bai Changfeng and a few other sect members to plan a visit.

Even if Jiangli refused to go, they would still need to go and try to save Zhu Ming’s life.

Jiangli heard this and finished the last sip of his yogurt, smacked his lips, tossed the yogurt bottle into the trash, and then said, "I can go, but Director Xun, as you know, my fees for an outcall are not low."

As soon as Xun Tianhai heard this, he knew there was an opportunity and immediately said, "Eight hundred thousand, right? I’ve spoken to Zhu Ming already, and he’s agreed! Don’t worry, Abbot. Even if Zhu Ming reneges on the payment afterward, the Xuanmen Association will cover it!"

Xun Tianhai hastened to give his assurance.

Jiangli, however, chuckled lightly, "Director Xun, I think you’ve remembered it wrong."

Xun Tianhai was taken aback, "I... remembered wrong? What did I remember wrong?"
