They were eager to inform their junior martial uncle about all what happened this evening, as he was supposed to take the credit for creating the miracle.
The primary chief senior, who had been the most poised through the pellet allocation process just now, spearheaded the running squad. He had been repressing his desire to tell Lin Xiao about all this for too long that he could hardly hold it back any longer.
And the other two chief seniors applied themselves to catch up.
Their figures dashed up the Main Mountain and vanished among the mountain creeks in a blink of an eye.
They hastened to knock on the gate upon their arrival at the patriarch's residence. And they soon sensed someone approaching the gate and heard the patriarch beckoning to them.
However, they entered his residence in ecstasy, only to see the patriarch placing his index finger in front of his mouth. Then he said in a low voice, "Calm down, you see the junior martial uncle is fast asleep."
His voice was so low that the three chief seniors could only manage to get his instruction by reading his lips.
On hearing that Lin Xiao was sleeping, they soon silenced themselves and tiptoed inside, which looked rather hilarious.
Hardly had the three chief seniors got seated when the patriarch grudged about them, "What was the matter? Why did you speak so loud? The junior martial uncle would have been woken up if I hadn't hastened to seal the whole house with my spiritual energy."
"The patriarch is right about it. The junior martial uncle has the supreme power over the whole sect now. It is by no means forgivable in the eyes of Li Taixuan that they nearly woke up Lin Xiao," the three chief seniors thought to themselves, casting a grateful look at their patriarch.
Li Taixuan waved his hand, signaling them not to mention it. And he asked, "How was it? Did the pellets work well?"
On hearing that, the tertiary chief senior rose abruptly and was about to respond, gesticulating with hands and feet.
It was just as well that the primary chief senior stood up forthwith to cover his mouth and sit him down.
Seeing the patriarch glaring at himself as if he was gonna be swallowed up, the tertiary chief patriarch knew that he had screwed things up. He became silent, head downcast.
At last, the primary chief senior took the responsibility to brief the patriarch about the whole story.
However, as composed as he was, he almost failed to keep his voice low-pitched when it went to the highlights of the story. He described the thrilling scene with the assistance of gestures, looking excited to the brim.
Utterly caught up by the primary chief senior's description, Li Taixuan put on an animated expression and even applauded on hearing about the highlights.
Hilarious enough, the tertiary chief senior would stand out to silence Li Taixuan each time he got carried away. And Li Taixuan nodded constantly in agreement, giggling like an idiot.
