Chapter 2838: Chapter 2839: Comprehensive Planning

After reading the letter, Lu Hui fell into short silence.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng couldn’t help but lean over in curiosity, wanting to see what was written on it.

And once he saw clearly, he too remained silent like Lu Hui.

All of this was because this seemingly ordinary letter actually revealed extremely important information.

That is, everything that has happened since the start of the general literary conference has actually been under Xue An’s control.

This was a detail that was truly horrifying upon deeper reflection.

Because it meant Xue An might have anticipated encountering an unsolvable predicament, so he had treated Qisi Wenshan as a retreat route.

Yet he did not take things to the extreme, but instead created a literary mountain avatar in advance to serve as the Fire Seed for Qisi Poetry Society’s revival.

This flawless plan was simply awe-inspiring.

At least Tang Zheng felt he couldn’t compare.

Having personally experienced the literary conference in the Ling’an Domain, he originally thought Xue An was a talented and arrogant, passionate youth.

But now it seemed this young man also possessed strategizing abilities beyond ordinary imagination.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng’s worries for his sister eased significantly.

Perhaps even this "defeat and retreat" was part of his plan!

If that’s the case, at the very least, his sister’s personal safety has received some degree of assurance.

As Tang Zheng was comforting himself, Lu Hui had regained his composure and gave Ren Ning a slight smile.

"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Ren!"

Ren Ning nodded, handed over the literary mountain avatar in her hand, and then turned to leave.

But just then, Lu Hui called out in a deep voice, "Miss Ren, please stay!"

Ren Ning stopped and looked back at Lu Hui, "President Lu, do you have any further instructions?"

Lu Hui remained silent for a moment and then chuckled lightly, "Miss Ren, you’re being too polite. You have helped our Qisi Poetry Society immensely this time, how could I dare to speak of instructions. I just wanted to ask you, when did your master give you this letter?"

Ren Ning shook her head, "Master didn’t give it to me!"

"Didn’t give it to you, then this letter..."

"I handed it to Miss Ren!" As the words fell, Sheng Hongqian stepped forward, speaking calmly.

"On the eve of the general literary conference, the young master gave me a letter, saying to hand it personally to Miss Ren after the conference, which is the letter in your hand!"

Indeed! Lu Hui sighed inwardly, then gave Sheng Hongqian a bow.

"In that case, I have no questions. The Qisi Poetry Society is currently in a turbulent period, please forgive me for not being able to host you all for tea! Once things settle down, I will certainly personally visit to express my gratitude!"

Ren Ning nodded, didn’t reply, and then turned to leave.

After she left, a disciple from the Qisi Poetry Society asked, somewhat puzzled, "Senior Brother, logically speaking, this incident originated from the master of this lady, and even our Qisi headquarters being bombed has ties to him, so why do we show such respect?"

This disciple’s question also represented the genuine thoughts of a part of the Qisi Poetry Society.

In their view, the culprit for the current turmoil was Xue An, so they should have detained Ren Ning just now, not allowed her to leave.

To this, Lu Hui simply shook his head lightly, then spoke a sentence.

It was this sentence that rendered those who were dissatisfied speechless.

"Do you think if our literary mountain wasn’t cooperative, Xue An could achieve all this?"

After saying this, Lu Hui turned and walked away, leaving those present bewildered.

"What did Senior Brother mean by that? So our Qisi Wenshan volunteered!"

"That’s the only explanation, otherwise why would the good literary mountain explode?"

"I still can’t understand, what did Xue An offer our literary mountain to make it willing to pay such a price!"

The discussions continued without reaching a conclusion.

Meanwhile, Ren Ning along with Sheng Hongqian and others had returned to the Xiyue Inn, and they also fell into silence.

After a long time, Sheng Hongqian forced a smile, "Everyone, there’s no need to be so downcast. The young master is of Heavenly Being stature, and since he has a comprehensive plan, he will definitely be fine!"

"Miss Sheng is right; worrying here does nothing. The young master is exceptionally talented and will surely resolve this crisis!" Fu Yuanfeng echoed.

Previously, he and Zhuang Manni along with other elite students of the Ling’an Domain had come to Xihua City with Xue An, aiming to witness the grand event of the literary conference.

Unexpectedly, they hadn’t witnessed grandeur but instead experienced a colossal crisis.

Especially when the legendary Giant Serpent Shuming, mastering time and the Force of Destiny, appeared, it made Fu Yuanfeng and Zhuang Manni believe they were doomed.

But unexpectedly, under Xue An’s strategy, a major disaster was dissipated into the invisible, which naturally increased their admiration for Xue An.

These statements were not only in agreement with Sheng Hongqian but truly represented their thoughts.

The atmosphere in the room began to become lively again.

Niu Dali slapped his thigh, "You all missed the point. Those ideas of misfortune turning into blessing are simply not what’s happening!"

"What kind of person is the young master? A mere little mud snake dares to act arrogant in front of him? Even as a so-called dominator, it’s not even qualified to shine the young master’s shoes! The main reason the young master took it away is because he doesn’t want to destroy this earth! Otherwise, even ten mud snakes wouldn’t be enough for him to deal with!"

These words were spoken with great enthusiasm, quite contagious.

You wouldn’t believe it, but this seemingly absurd talk changed many people’s expressions noticeably for the better.

Maybe... the young master really thought that way!

But just then, Ren Ning suddenly stood up, speaking in a low voice, "Suddenly I’m feeling a bit unwell; I’ll return to my room to rest!"

Saying this, she turned and left.

Niu Dali was puzzled, whispering to Zhang Xiaoqiang next to him, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Not at all, I think what you said was excellent!"

"Then why does Miss Ren seem unhappy?"

"Ah, young ladies always have various reasons to be unhappy!"

Only Sheng Hongqian watched her rapidly departing figure, emotions in her eyes rising and falling like tides, finally softly sighing.

Ren Ning walked quickly, almost reaching her room in the blink of an eye.

After she closed the door, she leaned helplessly against the door, tears streaming down silently, without making any sound.

She was filled with regret, regretting why she didn’t follow her master into that space at the time.
