Chapter 1300 - 1300 The High Priest Has Left

1300 The High Priest Has Left

With that, the old lady stood up. She initially wanted to be ruthless to her youngest son, but seeing his expression, the old lady couldn’t help but sigh deeply. “I’ll go pay the heating fee for you. Leave the lunch box here after you’re done. I’ll come and get it next time. I still have to accompany Qianqian out in the afternoon, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Yes,” w.a.n.g Yunfa lowered his head and answered. He didn’t dare to look at the old lady.

The old lady said nothing else and pushed the door open to leave.

…

After school in the afternoon, Jian Ai and Si Yue went to Bai Zhou’s place.

“High Priest?”

When he heard Jian Ai mention the High Priest, Bai Zhou’s reaction was the same as Si Yue’s.

Seeing his reaction, Jian Ai knew that the High Priest had not contacted Bai Zhou. She couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t Xiao Zhen tell you?”

Bai Zhou shook his head inexplicably. “No, he said nothing. What’s going on?”

Seeing that Bai Zhou didn’t know at all, Jian Ai couldn’t help but tell him everything that had happened yesterday. In the end, she added, “As for how the High Priest saved him, I don’t know. Even Xiao Zhen doesn’t know.”

At this point, Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at Bai Zhou and ask, “Bai Zhou, I believe you’re the only one in the ancient sect who knows the most. Does the High Priest really have the ability to revive people?”

Bai Zhou frowned, as if Jian Ai’s words also shocked him. He couldn’t help but shake his head hesitantly. “The High Priest’s ability is undoubtedly powerful, but in terms of combat strength, I don’t know if he can be ranked above the twelve guards. Especially after he was seriously injured during his cultivation a few years ago, his strength would have been greatly weakened.”

“As for the power of revival you mentioned, I don’t know. However, since it happened in front of Xiao Zhen and Zhi Tong, the High Priest should have this ability.”

From Bai Zhou’s words, Jian Ai could tell that Bai Zhou did not seem to know much about the mysterious High Priest of the ancient sect.

“Do you know his name?” Jian Ai asked tentatively.

She just wanted to know if this person’s surname was Ji and if it had anything to do with the Ji family.

Bai Zhou shook his head. “When I found him, I’ve always addressed him as the High Priest. I’ve never asked for his name.”

Bai Zhou was smart, so how could he not know what Jian Ai meant? He couldn’t help but say, “Sect Master, are you guessing that the High Priest has a relations.h.i.+p with the Ji family?”

Jian Ai nodded. “That’s right. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to explain what happened last night.”

Bai Zhou nodded as well. “That’s true. The High Priest lives in seclusion all year round and rarely takes the initiative to appear. Since he came to Baiyun City, but didn’t inform me, let alone see the Sect Master, he seems to have his own schedule.”

“Last night, his goal was very clear. He even found Xiao Zhen to do odd jobs for him. It’s obvious that the Ji family has something to do with the High Priest that we don’t know about.”

Jian Ai leaned against the sofa and fell into deep thought. After a long time, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath. She looked at Bai Zhou and said, “What I can’t figure out the most is whether the High Priest coincidentally met Old Master Ji’s sudden illness when he came to Baiyun City. Or did he already predict it and specially rushed over to save him?”

Bai Zhou still shook his head. “I have no way to guess.”

Seeing that Bai Zhou knew little, Jian Ai at least gave up on asking about the High Priest. This was also good. It was not open enough to dig into others’ privacy out of curiosity.

Since she could not ask anything, she would not ask anymore. After all, they were from the ancient sect. They will meet in the future.

Thinking of their meeting, Jian Ai couldn’t help but feel that this High Priest was different. Since he had already come to Baiyun City, he had no intention of seeing her. He even looked for Xiao Zhen but didn’t say that he would look for her.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at Bai Zhou and instruct, “Bai Zhou, why don’t you use your ability to sense if the High Priest is still in Baiyun City?”

When Bai Zhou heard this, he nodded gently. “Alright, I’ll try.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou slowly closed his eyes. On his chest under his clothes, the hidden totem was glowing.

After a long time, Bai Zhou opened his eyes and smiled helplessly at Jian Ai. “The High Priest has already left.”

Jian Ai: “…”

He had no intention of meeting her. He came silently and left quickly.

Afraid that Jian Ai would bear a grudge against the High Priest because of this, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but explain, “Sect Master, you don’t have to worry too much. The High Priest’s personality has always been like this. To him, there’s a suitable opportunity for everything. He probably feels that it’s not the time to meet the Sect Master, so he didn’t appear in front of the Sect Master.”

Jian Ai nodded in understanding. She naturally wouldn’t be angry at the High Priest for such a thing. She just couldn’t help but be more curious about him.

If he had anything to do with the Ji family, things would become interesting.

“I know that. Since the High Priest is a principled person, let him be,” Jian Ai smiled.

At this moment, Bai Zhou looked at the time and suddenly revealed a terrifying smile at Jian Ai and Si Yue.

Before Jian Ai could think too much, she heard Bai Zhou invite her with a smug expression. “Sect Master, you’re hungry, right? I’ve been practicing stewed beef brisket with potatoes hard today, and my culinary skills have improved slightly. Why don’t you give me a face and try it?”

When Jian Ai heard this, all the hair on her body instantly stood up. Without thinking, she rejected, “Forget it. With your culinary skills, the food can’t be eaten with just a little improvement. My life is more important. Si Yue and I will eat hotpot later.”

She still remembered the taste test not long ago. She heard that a small mouthful caused Chi Lian to not eat oil and salt for two days. It could be seen how lethal Bai Zhou’s cooking was.

Bai Zhou’s expression couldn’t help but stiffen. Then, he said, “Sect Master, don’t look down on me. Did you know Xiao Zhen forced Irene and Andrew to try his dishes, and they almost couldn’t come back?”

“Why? Did Xiao Zhen poison them?” Jian Ai asked with a smile.

Bai Zhou also smiled. “It’s not much different from poisoning. I heard from Irene that Zhi Tong only took a bite and almost broke his teeth. Can you believe that he made scrambled eggs with tomatoes?”

“Pfft…” When Jian Ai heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she looked at Bai Zhou and nodded. “I initially thought that you would lose with your skills, but after hearing your description today, Xiao Zhen can still fight. It’s hard to say who will win.”

Before Jian Ai could stop laughing, the doorbell of the apartment rang.

Chi Yang came out of the kitchen and ran to open the door. It was Irene and Andrew, who were staying downstairs for the time being.

Seeing that Jian Ai was also there, Andrew couldn’t help but say, “Sect Master Jian Ai is also here. That’s good. There’s news from the headquarters. Gale and Louise have found very important information. Let’s discuss it together!”
