But when it came to signing contracts with the clan members and training together, Li Zhirui didn't agree right away. Instead, he said, "You need to discuss this with the Clan Leader and the others. I haven't meddled in clan affairs for many years now."
He wasn't actually refusing, but rather abiding by family rules. In fact, even if he did get involved, no one in the clan would object.
"I know."
Shenling nodded and took Mu Qi with him to find Li Debo for a discussion.
"Two Spirit Ancestors, what brings you to me?"
When the two came knocking, Li Debo was quite surprised. Even though he had just become Clan Leader, he knew these two had been away from the family for a long time, rarely ever returning.
Why, after just coming back, would they seek him out?
Still, that was just his private speculation; he showed no sign of it outwardly and welcomed the two warmly.
