Situ Xin didn't have Xiao Muli's phone number and was unable to contact Xiao Muli.

If Muli failed to complete his studies, he would lose his eligibility to compete for the position of Family Head.
When Elder Master Xiao spoke these words, Old Master Xiao stood to the side with a complex look in his eyes as he gazed at his elder brother.
