Jiang Ning's status had taken a sudden bound.
The guards' attitude towards him wasn't the only thing that had changed. Liu Qing couldn't figure out whom Jiang Ning really was either. She wasn't sure what relationship he shared with her father.
From the way that they had spoken to each other, it seemed...like they were equals.
Liu Qing dared not ask too many questions. Jiang Ning wasn't going to tell her anything anyway. He might even rebuke her fiercely.
Something had become different in the courtyard.
Jiang Ning had risen suddenly to become the master of the place. Even Liu Qing had to obey his word. She trained the way Jiang Ning told her to without voicing a word of complaint.
During this time, Liu Chuandao had made his way back to his study. Within a few moments, Mr He arrived.
He had timed his arrival precisely, knocking on Liu Chuandao's door after Liu Chuandao's earlier anger had abated.
DOONG DOONG DOONG!
"Come in."
Mr He heard Liu Chuandao's voice in the study.
He smiled, pushed the door open and walked in.
"Chief Liu."
"You timed this, didn't you? You know I'm no longer as angry as I was earlier.”
Mr He smiled sheepishly. "You weren't angry in the first place. That much, I do know."
Liu Chuandao wasn't angry earlier. He was just caught in a predicament as he was hesitant about what he should do about Jiang Ning, the man who had appeared without any warning. In fact, his mind might not yet be made up on the matter.
"So I am." Jiang Ning's reply had been brutally blunt. There had been no attempt at evasion or tact.
Jiang Ning's reply had shocked Mr He too. Jiang Ning's honesty had been brusque.
He had left nothing hidden.
It had been excessively bold of him to utter those words.
"The one that the legend speaks of is here."
"Chief Liu, are you certain that he is the one?"
"Are you suggesting that he isn't?"
Mr He smiled and shook his head. He wouldn't dare to contradict the sect leader.
