Hearing Shirong's words, Lin Wu would be lying if he didn't find them suspicious.
"Wasn't your father fully focusing on the clan just a year ago?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Yes… its strange. But since nothing problematic has happened in this time, the others didn't interfere in his matters either." Shirong answered. "To be honest, one of the reasons I was confident in getting rid of my opponents this time was because of father not being there." He added.
"But he did appear, right?" Lin Wu replied.
"He did indeed. Or rather, he was forced to appear because of my actions." Shirong stated.
"And you don't think your siblings and the other elders were acting as they were because of the lack of action from your father?" Lin Wu asked next.
"There is a chance, but I have no way to confirm it." Shirong replied.
"Hmm… what about your ancestor?" Lin Wu asked.
