Chairman Qu's dissatisfaction could not be openly expressed, so he merely noted it in secret. Therefore, when the Nangong Family approached him to discuss matters pertaining to Mount Zhige, it was convenient for him to acquiesce and go along with the other party's proposals—though this was not truly his original intention.
As for the specifics, he could not cooperate much, given he had to maintain the dignity of Ancestor Huang Fu.
But for Ancestor Huang Fu, who was aware of the situation, this was already a very dangerous affair.
Nangong Youjiu sat with Chairman Qu for a while, and then stood up to leave—the Nangong Family still had some matters to attend to.
However, three days later, he suddenly received news that made him freeze in shock, "The Xue Family...is gone?"
To be precise, the Xue Family still existed, but their cultivators in the phase beyond Qi Refinement...were gone.
