NovelEnglishIt took him a great deal of effort to calm himself down.
"You know who did it, don't you?" Mr He had his own guesses too.
There weren't many people in Qingshan Sect who could slip unnoticed into the Disciplinary Hall and kill Luo Heng.
Of them all, only one had the motive to kill Luo Heng.
He didn't have any evidence though. Luo Heng had been their only witness. But he was dead. The dead couldn't tell you anything.
"Is it important?" Jiang Ning opened his eyes and gave Mr He a sidelong glance.

"He'll pay a heavy price if he tries to SeaR*ch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
assassinate me." Mr He froze.
The sheer arrogance of this man was astounding.
He longed to give Jiang Ning a hard slap. He had never seen such arrogance.
He was in the mountain, not outside. Jiang Ning might be someone of importance in the world beyond the mountain, but he was alone in a foreign land now.
How could he be so full of himself? Jiang Ning's words annoyed Mr He. But he knew that Jiang Ning wasn't boasting. He was capable of what he had said. The look of absolute composure and certainty seemed incongruous with his youth. Jiang Ning seemed to be in full control of the situation.
"What should we do?" Mr He couldn't be bothered to challenge Jiang Ning's earlier statement. He was worried that Jiang Ning might just drive him to an early grave by saying something even more audacious. "What would you liketo do?" Jiang Ning started laughing.
He stared at Mr He as he laughed. The look in his eyes made the Disciplinary Master extremely uneasy.
He had told Jiang Ning earlier to mind his own business. In the end, Luo Heng had died.
Now, he was asking Jiang Ning to poke his nose into his business and tell him what to do.
He was eating his own words.
"I'm doing this for Qingshan Sect," Mr He scoffed.
"Luo Heng is dead. His murderer is on the loose. We are certain that it's someone within Qingshan Sect." Jiang Ning eyed Mr He. "You have to investigate this matter." Mr He froze. An investigation? He knew who had killed Luo Heng. But he had no evidence to prove it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"How do I go about investigating his murder?" "Investigate everyone in Qingshan Sect. That means the elders and the sect leader as well." "Are you out of your mind?" "The guests too. None of them are innocent until proven. You will have to search them as well." "You're out of your mind." Mr He rose to his feet. "Are you trying to turn the place topsyturvy?" One death hardly warranted a thorough search that would turn the sect upside down. Besides, what could they do if they did find Luo Heng's murderer? Was he going to kill him? Mr He was well aware that things had changed in Qingshan Sect. As the Disciplinary Master, his authority was limited. He dared not do something so bold.
"Qingshan Sect is already in a mess," Jiang Ning said with a smile. "This is a great opportunity for us. How are you going to pin down the e mastermind if you don't create a little chaos? You heard me.
Investigate everyone." Mr He stared silently at Jiang Ning for a long time.
He found Jiang Ning's boldness a little hard to stomach.
Jiang Ning wasn't going to squander the authority that the sect leader had Xestyleadenhad granted dhim. Did he really intend to turn the entire sect upside down? "Are you sure?" "I am," said Jiang Ning. "You're the Disciplinary Master. This is your job. You're not the best man for but don't have any men with job here. I wouldn't choose you if I did."
If his men were here, they would have been able to do a better job. This old man was hardly competition.
Mr He's face turned white with fury when he heard what Jiang Ning had said. The tip of his beard twitched En angrily. He was helping Jiang Ning out. Why should he suffer Jiang Ning's disdain? He pointed his finger at Jiang Ning but didn't say anything for the longest time. He simply had no words. His body continued to tremble violently as the silence stretched.
"Humph!" Mr He flung his arms and left. He wasn't interested in hanging around. He was worried that Jiang Ning might just drive him to an early grave.
