Zhang Heng watched as Mr He walked away. He wanted to drag him back and question him further, but he didn't know what to ask him.
The man had made himself very clear.
The young punk wasn't a simple character. He had gained the sect leader's favor. He would have remained in the dark if Mr He had not told him.
"This won't do. If Third Miss does marry that young punk, then what about my..."
He frowned slightly. An icy glint flashed across his eyes, vanishing as quickly as it had appeared.
Nothing showed on his face. There was nothing but calm, and another icy glint flickered imperceptibly within his dark eyes.
Meanwhile.
Back at Liu Qing's courtyard.
"Brother Jiang, we just received these
fruits. Try them"
A guard presented a basket of fruits to Jiang Ning. The fruits had been washed and cleaned. He smiled brightly. "Please let me know if you need anything else."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly. "It's alright. Focus on doing your job well. I have high hopes for you."
The guard's eyes lit up upon hearing the brief compliment and quickly clasped his hands together with respect. "Yes, of course. Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your advice."
Jiang Ning was the man who had spoken to the sect leader as an equal. He must be someone important.
They had served as Liu Qing's guards for many years. They had never come across anyone who could make Liu Qing behave or anyone whom the sect leader had treated with as much respect.
Above all else, Jiang Ning was young and quite good looking. No one knew how far he would go in the future.
It wouldn't hurt for them to make a good impression now.
Jiang Ning waved the guard away. The latter retreated to a corner immediately. He raised his chin and puffed his chest out. He seemed more alert than he had ever been.
"You're too slow."
Liu Qing was training fiercely in the distance. Her speed had increased visibly in the past few days.
She had found her own improvement miraculous.
But Jiang Ning still found her too slow. Her failure to meet his expectations was driving her crazy.
