"Father, it's me, Jinxing!" Dongfang Jinxing replied.
"Oh, Jinxing. Come in," Dongfang Badao said with a nod.
"Father, there's trouble—Elder Dongfang Jian has met with disaster!" Dongfang Jinxing said hastily as soon as he entered.
"What? Something has happened to Dongfang Jian? What happened? How?" Dongfang Badao was startled and asked urgently.
"It happened like this..." Dongfang Jinxing quickly recounted to the old master everything the disciple had said.
"The Cultivators' Guild? A conflict with someone?" Dongfang Badao frowned. "Jinxing, have you personally called the Cultivators' Guild to inquire?"
"Not yet. I came first to ask Father whether you have any instructions," Dongfang Jinxing said.
"Then I shall call the Cultivators' Guild myself and ask!" Dongfang Badao knew that given Dongfang Jinxing's standing, he likely would get nothing out of them, so he decided to make the call himself. After all, the Cultivators' Guild was a formidable presence—even its president was already a Heaven-rank expert, and several of its honorary supreme presidents were experts at the Great Perfection of the peak late Heaven rank. How would the Dongfang clan dare to be rash?
"Yinxing, bring me my phone!" Dongfang Badao said to Dongfang Yinxing, who stood nearby.
"Yes, Father!" Though Dongfang Yinxing was stronger than Dongfang Jinxing, he had never married or had children, and he cared nothing for the clan's petty affairs. He preferred to cultivate every day, and so he had never competed with Dongfang Jinxing over anything.
Moreover, because he had no children of his own, he doted on Dongfang Bushu and Dongfang Buruo even more than the old master did, yearning to groom them into the Dongfang clan's successors—only to lose one of them. Now he was preparing to train the other, and Elder Dongfang Jian had been beaten to death while gathering herbs for him. How could Dongfang Badao possibly tolerate this?
"Hello? President Li?" Dongfang Badao took the phone and dialed the number of President Li, the grand president of the Cultivators' Guild.
"Speaking. Old master Dongfang Badao, I presume. What can I do for you?" President Li had Dongfang Badao's number saved as well, so he spoke politely.
"It's like this, President Li. An elder of our Dongfang clan has fallen at one of your Cultivators' Guild's branch offices. Do you have any information on your end?" Dongfang Badao asked.
"That matter is under Vice President Ouyang's purview. The situation as he reported it to us was relayed truthfully to your Dongfang clan; I did not inquire too deeply into the specifics," President Li said. "If your Dongfang clan intends to seek revenge, I rather think that will prove difficult..."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Dongfang Badao asked.
