<h4>Chapter 2700: Distance</h4>


    “No, he just believed half of it.” Old Patriarch Guo smiled and said: “Didn’t you see him riding on his contract beast and arrived with a few Elders?”


    “Guo Xinning was stunned: “Was he thinking about making a move?”


    “I know what he’s like. He was disturbed during his seclusion and he probably thought that if the other party was some unknown junior, he would just kill him and it can also bring about a shocking effect. That’s why he brought a few Elders with him. However, I don’t think he ever expected his son would be restrained by Feng Jiu and didn’t even have the strength to resist. That’s why thetter happened.”


    The Old Patriarch looked at Guo Xinning and said: “As the Head of the n and the Head of the Family, there are many things to consider. Many things can’t just be looked at on the surface. It is necessary to analyse the pros and cons and make the decision that is most beneficial to oneself. For example, Old Man Li made the right decision at that moment, he not only saved his son’s life, but he also saved his family. In order to minimise the damage, he had already made the best decision he could.”


    Upon hearing this, Guo Xinning nodded, his heart shook. He wasn’t being trained as the person to take over as the next Patriarch, so he had little contact with these kinds of matters as such. Very few people had also told him, until this moment, that being a leader was not so easy.


    Although he didn’t understand some things and didn’t see matters as clearly back then in the forest, when he went home and told his Father, his Father had already guessed his words before he had finished speaking.


    When he thought about Feng Jiu having entered the wing-room and not came out after they had entered the airship, his heart moved and he asked: “Grandfather told Old Patriarch Li the news, and thus having them owe us Guo Family a favour. Is Feng Jiu keeping his distance from us because Grandfather disclosed the news?”


    Old Patriarch Guo smiled and drank his tea without speaking.


    As for Feng Jiu, she was indeed cultivating in the wing-room, but Guo Xinning was right, she didn’t really want to have too much contact with the Guo Family. Old Patriarch Guo asked her to spare them on his ount and she did. After all, the matter wasn’t handled to her liking, but after this incident, the rtionship between the Guo Family and the Li Family would definitely be greatly improved. They had used her, and perhaps she didn’t like how calcting the Guo Family were, so she didn’t want to have too much contact with them.


    After going back this time, if she were able to obtain more information about the Immortal Ascension Ladder, she nned to leave early and go to that ce first.


    In the other wing-room, the Xie siblings were supposedly cultivating, but in actual fact, they were whispering to each other.


    “Elder Brother, does Little Jiu dislike Brother Guo and the others?” Although Xie Shisi was simple-minded, she was sensitive to the situation.


    “You see that too?” Xie Yutang said. He thought for a while, then said: “He doesn’t seem to like them very much, he doesn’t seem to want to have too much involvement with them. Otherwise, why would he say he wants to cultivate after the airship left?”


    ......


    “Why? I think Brother Guo is pretty good!” She didn’t understand.


    When Xie Yutang heard this, he stared into her eyes immediately: “Let me tell you, don’t have any thoughts about him. Hees from a big family, they have many people and a lot of problems, it’s better to keep a distance.”


    Xie Shisi blinked and said strangely: “But I remember that Elder Brother seemed quite happy when he heard that Old Patriarch Guo wanted to visit our family! He even invited him to stay at our Manor.”


    Upon hearing this, Xie Yutang suddenly felt very ufortable.
