Rebellion(22)

The assembly had to come to an end with sect leader Jin promising to give further details about the marriage proposal when next he calls for the assembly of sect leaders. In a way, Jin Ruimin was relieved as this would reduce any undue pressure that came with expectation from the other leaders regarding the head teacher of his sect agreeing to marry the fox princess. At the time when the assembly was held, Jin Caihe had not given his decision, therefore if the GuBaiJin sect leader had blurted it out without the other coming to agreement with it, that could have caused Jin Ruimin to further lose face among the other sect leaders.

Neither of the sect leaders stayed back for food and drink, each returned to their sect thinking of what took place at the assembly.

Jin Ruimin had to secretly seek out the spies that he kept on the YuanLi sect, by sending a bird to give out a message to gather at their secret location that night.
