Thankfully, I apologized in time.
A moment later... this arm might have been crushed by Gu Shen.
"Go back and explain clearly to the Elder Council that this plan... cannot be stopped," Li Qingci said anxiously.
Li Xuan looked up at Gu Shen, his expression somewhat fearful.
"Miss Qingci, I can't do this," Li Xuan said in a low voice, having lost his earlier domineering tone. "I am just responsible for notifying the Divine Temple... I cannot decide on this matter, the order to stop the plan came from the Great Elder, and the Elder Council voted, with a majority in favor, only then was it passed."
Gu Shen and Li Qingci exchanged a look.
Clearly... with the Family Head gravely ill, the Elder Council immediately stopped the "Search for the Lamp" plan, which was a deliberate pressure tactic.
Some things, when destined to happen, will happen sooner or later.
It seems Uncle Gao was right...
