Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning) novel Chapter 2014

The two of them exchanged a look. Liu Chuandao didn't say anything and merely snorted.

Mr He snickered like a wily fox.

They knew very well that Qingshan Sect was a unique sect. But it was on the decline and its standing had been steadily falling over the years. Many people were eying it hungrily.

The guests that Zhang Heng had invited to the sect had come on the pretext of seeking Liu Qing's hand in marriage. But their true intention was to infiltrate Qingshan Sect and carve a place for themselves in the sect before anyone else could.

"He," Liu Chuandao suddenly sounded serious. Mr He stopped smiling too as a solemn look appeared on his face. "Qingshan Sect cannot fall. That is our duty."

He said "our" and not "my". This wasn't a responsibility that was solely shouldered by the sect leader.

If Qingshan Sect were to fall and fail to perform the purpose it had been created for, a devastating calamity was going to befall them.

"I know," Mr He nodded. "Don't worry. I'll keep it standing. Even when I'm dead, I'll help you and the generations of sect leaders that follow to keep the sect standing."

His voice was filled with certainty and determination.

Liu Chuandao wasn't the one who called the shots in Qingshan Sect.

There were few in the Inner Court, Outer Court, and even amongst the elders, who were truly loyal to Qingshan Sect. How could Liu Chuandao not know?

On the surface, everyone appeared to be cordial to one another. But they had secretly allied themselves with other sects and entities a long time ago. As soon as the opportune moment struck, they would reveal their true colors without hesitation.

The only person whom Liu Chuandao could trust was Mr He.

"If I fail to protect the sect," Liu Chuandao took a deep breath before continuing, 'TH die here. My bones will stay in the sect."

Mr He didn't say a word. His eyes reddened slightly.

Qingshan Sect had weakened considerably. Without its former reputation and unique status, it would have been taken over by others ages ago.

Mr He pursed his lips. After a long moment of silence, he nodded. "My bones shall remain here too."

They exchanged a long look and neither said a word.

Liu Chuandao gathered his thoughts, then waved his hand. "Alright, we'll carry out the plan that we have made. We'll do what we can. The rest is up to the heavens."

Perhaps it wasn't up to the heavens.
