Chapter 761: A Roomful of Gossip
Su Yu looked calmly at the crowd’s colorful expressions and remarked quietly, "Continue."
The crowd had already forgotten where they had left off, their minds abuzz with thoughts of the person they had just seen. The Sect Leader’s wife? How come they’ve never heard of her before? Is the Sect Leader... hiding a beloved in secret? And besides, isn’t that woman rather... hmm, improper? Oh, but that’s not the main point, the main point is... she looks somewhat familiar, doesn’t she? Could it be they’ve seen her somewhere before?
Su Yu observed the crowd exchanging confused glances but heard no one speak up, so he asked, "What’s wrong? Forgot where we were?"
This time, someone finally remembered who the woman was.
Master Dai Yi had seen Han Jing before, back when he was at the Wengshan Sect. That woman, along with a little girl who looked very much like Su Yu, and... and the Young Master of Lingyou Hall, as well as the Ghost Ancestor, came to look for Su Yu one after the other...
At that time...
Recalling the scene from then, Master Dai Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Sect Leader, was that woman just now really... your wife?"
Su Yu nodded and raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem?"
Master Dai Yi shook his head. A problem? Certainly not. After all, there’s no rule saying a Sect Leader can’t marry. Moreover, the Sect Leader did indeed leave for a prolonged period five years ago, and rumors had it that he married in Nanyao Country.
It’s just, why does that woman seem so familiar?
"Oh, right, I remember now. The Sect Leader’s wife looks very much like the Old Palace Master of Beihan Palace!" exclaimed one of Su Yu’s junior disciples at that moment.
The people present were all elder members of the Spirit Flame Sect, having been in the sect for many years. Naturally, they had seen Han Litong, the former Palace Master of Beihan Palace before. At the sudden sight of Han Jing, they found her familiar but didn’t immediately recall why. With this reminder, it dawned on them.
Indeed, Han Jing did resemble Han Litong quite a lot.
Curiosity arose among them: "But, didn’t the Old Palace Master Han only have one daughter?"
The crowd promptly got a bit gossipy. There’s no denying it, gossip is something that intrigues everyone, from children to elders.
Su Yu...
He just wanted to introduce them briefly to confirm Han Jing’s identity, because his wife had been unexpectedly caught by the crowd here. Without an introduction, who knows what they might think? But... isn’t their focus somewhat off?
Su Yu was not inclined to explain Han Jing’s lineage to them; that was their private matter.
Su Yu cleared his throat lightly, "This is not the topic of our discussion today. She is the sworn sister of the Pavilion Master of Prayer Pavilion. You may recall, the Pavilion Master is my junior disciple, Lian Xichen. So, I hope that after I leave the Spirit Flame Sect, you can cooperate and work jointly with the Prayer Pavilion, until I return."
Concerning Pavilion Master Lian Xichen, even though he departed from the Spirit Flame Sect over a decade ago, he is considered Yun Zidu’s closed-door disciple. Therefore, the master uncles present still remember him quite well. Given that they are all old acquaintances, cooperation should naturally pose no issue.
The crowd once again started chattering and discussing, but they had no objections.
Su Yu was, in fact, not adept at management. Certainly, Lian Xichen would execute these matters better than him, so what he needed to do was to come forth and make sure the current leaders within the Spirit Flame Sect complied with his words.
