"No disciple of Qingshan Sect should be killed just like that!" The Senior Elder shook his fist. "Anybody who kills a disciple of Qingshan Sect has to pay the price!" "Men!" shouted the Senior Elder. "Surround the place where Elder Luo Feng and the rest are staying. I'm going to ask them personally what they mean by this! "Yes, Senior Elder!" All the Portico disciples in the hall went to carry out his orders.
All the other elders had grim looks on their faces. The Senior Elder's words were representative of the Qingshan Sect's stance on this matter.
Liu Chuandao had purposely asked the Senior Elder for this very purpose.
The Senior Elder's stance was the most important.
He was the sect leader, but he wasn't the one who could call all the shots in Qingshan Sect.
"Jiang Ning, what lousy foresight you have! You thought that Mr Zhang wouldn't be the murderer, but look at what happened in the end!" Liu Zong scoffed coldly and mocked Jiang Ning. "He ended up admitting that he killed Luo Heng! What a slap in the face!" His expression was filled with iciness and mocking as he looked indignantly at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything when he heard these sarcastic words. He just smiled and continued drinking his tea, because he couldn't be bothered to stoop to the slevel as this childish fellow. Arguing with him was an insult to his intelligence.
Liu Chuandao had heard what his son said, and the disappointment in his eyes was even greater now.
The others might not know, but Liu Chuandao knew that if Jiang Ning hadn't done all this, Zhang Heng wouldn't have admitted his wrongdoing.
But of course, this wasn't really an admission from Zhang Heng, but a ploy by Jiang Ning to force him to confess. There was no chance for him to explain anything or defend himself.
As Jiang Ning said, since they knew that he was the murderer, then they didn't need any evidence and they could just kill him.
That was the end of things.
Liu Chuandao and Mr He would never have thought that Jiang Ning had already seen all of this coming and they never thought that Jiang Ning would actually use a method like this to force Zhang Hengto confess. S~Earch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
When they first heard his ventriloquism, they were equally astonished.
"Everyone, please calong withto ask Elder Luo Feng what they mean by this," said Liu Chuandao sternly. "A disciple of Qingshan Sect has been killed so cruelly, and we are all partially responsible because we failed to protect him." "We ought to protect everyone, even if he is a Sinner.
He then led everyone to head towards where Elder Luo Feng was staying.
"Aren't you coming along?" Mr He looked at Jiang Ning.
"Of course I'm going," said Jiang Ning. "But this tea tastes pretty good, so I'll take another two cups before going over." Mr He had no idea what Jiang Ning was trying to do. He just knew that this young fellow was full of naughty ideas but it was impossible to tell from his appearance.
He didn't say anything and ran after the crowd. The hall was left with only Liu Zong, Liu Heng and Jiang Ning.

"I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas about Qingshan Sect. You're just an outsider, tsider, so there's nothing you can get out of this place!" said Liu Zong through gritted teeth. Even if Father has high regard for you, both of us are his biological sons after all!" "That's right! You'd better give it up, otherwise, don't blboth of us for getting nasty!" Liu Heng chimed in.
They could sense that Liu Chuandao treated Jiang Ning very differently and he held Jiang Wing in such high regard that the two brothers felt threatened. Compared to Jiang Ning's mature and stable temperament, they were way too childish.
The way Jiang Ning carried himself so calmly made them nearly lose control of their own emotions.
"The two of you have been fighting each other all this time, right? Son cyou're actually going to join hands because of me?" Jiang Ning got up and burst out laughing.
His laughter made the two brothers feel like they had been despised and humiliated.
"It would be great if that happened. The sect leader would be very happy for both of you to be so united." X
