If she was really safe, then they shouldn’t be so anxious, right? However, they still didn’t know whether or not she was really safe.
“But…”
One of the elders took a deep breath. “Let’s go see the String Pavilion and see if they have any more information. I’m sure they won’t refuse to help us.”
The String Pavilion was also another organization under the Music a.s.sociation.
!!
In the a.s.sociation, the Inner Pavilion had the highest status among the other organizations. While some people knew of them, not many of them knew what was going on within the organization.
However, the String Pavilion represented the face of the Music a.s.sociation.
If the Cabinet was the administrator, the String Pavilion was the representative.
The organization was made up of various guqin players, and they were all ranked in accordance with their talent. They were all extremely compet.i.tive, and it was their rigorous practices that created so many excellent guqin players.
Jiang Song was the famous number-one player in their organization.
The String Pavilion didn’t reject any oncoming members. In fact, those who had been able to enter the Music a.s.sociation were allowed to join the String Pavilion, if they pa.s.sed a simple a.s.sessment.
The Pavilion knew everything about anyone.
The String Pavilion was also extremely rich.
The Elders were even richer.
However, if one wanted to stand out in the String Pavilion, one must enter the Pavilion’s Devil Ranking List. The ranking list would change every three days, and the only three people who stayed on the ranking list would become the students of the Elder.
Most of the people in the Pavilion were ordinary members.
In recent years, due to the String Pavilion’s wealth and ability, many of them were able to surpa.s.s the members of the Cabinet.
In fact, many believe that they were the ones who should replace the Cabinet.
Because of this, they had grown quite arrogant.
Now that the Cabinet had become smaller and smaller, the members of the String Pavilion had become even more arrogant.
Even if they had paid their membership peas, the members of the Cabinet still had to urge them repeatedly. Even then the String Pavilion would simply roll their eyes and hand them the cash. Everyone knew of their att.i.tude.
The Inner Pavilion had always turned a blind eye.
While they appeared to be in a private compet.i.tion, they were still quite united to outsiders. It was one of the reasons why the elder suggested this.
The String Pavilion may have more information.
However, to his surprise, Elder w.a.n.g’s face grew cold. He sneered in disgust as he waved his hand up in the air.
“Have we not embarra.s.sed ourselves enough? Now, you want the entire a.s.sociation to know about this? We could handle this matter ourselves.”
His face was as cold as a rock.
The String Pavilion already treated them like a joke. If they really asked for their help until now, they would only become even more arrogant.
They’d become a joke to the a.s.sociation.
Not only would it affect the Elders, but it would also affect the entire image of the Inner Pavilion.
As one of the five grand elders of the cabinet, Elder w.a.n.g naturally wanted to maintain the dignity of the cabinet. He didn’t want the String Pavilion to continue to screw them over.
This was what he was worried about.
“But…”
The elder knew what Elder w.a.n.g meant. However, wasn’t the most important thing now to ensure the safety of these people? If he gave up this opportunity for the sake of his face, he might be able to save their image, but he might also lose these people who had been kidnapped.
This situation required a foolproof plan!
“We can’t just refuse to save them for the sake of our reputation. Elder Chen and the others are more important.”
“Why don’t we consider this?”
“If they want to mock us, then let them be!”
“We have to save them eventually. The earlier we save them, the less danger that they will sustain. Let’s ask them for help. Do we really have a choice? It’s the perfect plan!”
“There’s no such thing as a perfect plan.”
Their stomachs stirred.
Elder Xu’s heart ached at the thought of his extremely talented disciple. If something were to happen to her, he wouldn’t know what to do.
