Jiang Ning just sat there. Liu Qing didn't bother him. She wasn't in the mood to bother him anyway.
She simply watched him quietly from afar, staring at his back as one would stare at a lovely view.
Somewhere at the Inner Court was Zhu Qi. He was stewing in resentment.
The Mr He's reprimand had him bewildered and incredulous.
It was obvious that Jiang Ning's origins were dubious. He must harbor an ulterior motive for infiltrating Qingshan Sect.
Anyone who had a brain could tell. Mr He was the head of the Disciplinary Hall. He must suspect as much too.
"He's afraid of incurring Third Miss' wrath, I'm sure of it. But what is he afraid of?"
"She's the sect leader's daughter but she is complacent and doesn't strive to improve herself. Look at her skills. She's not qualified to stay in the Inner Court."
"Have you heard? If she doesn't pass the test again this time, the sect leader's going to send her to the Outer Court."
A few of them were discussing fervently amongst themselves.
Zhu Qi sat there with a dark look on his face and scoffed.
"She had it coming! She's only allowed to be so arrogant and look down on the rest of us in Qingshan Sect because of her status."
He couldn't control his furious outburst.
"What should we do now, Senior?"
One of them looked at Zhu Qi and asked.
Zhu Qi was the one whom they all looked to for instructions. He called the shots.
It was easier to get things done when you had a leader.
"If we look at it one way, this only concerns Third Miss's personal safety." Zhu Qi scoffed. They didn't care about Liu Qing's safety. She deserved whatever that might happen to her.
"But if we look at it in another way, this concerns the safety of Qingshan Sect! This is a serious matter!" He slammed the table. "If Mr He doesn't dare to intervene, we'll simply have to speak to the sect leader himself!"
Zhu Qi's face flushed lightly.
As Inner Court disciples, they weren't qualified to speak to the sect leader.
Even Portico disciples who wanted to gain the sect leader's attention had to be of sufficient competency.
They weren't qualified at all.
But if they were to prove themselves this time, they might be promoted directly to a Portico disciple. Such a promotion was an honor of a lifetime.
