Even if Jiang Ning should fail, he would be the one who would bear the consequences of his failure, not Liu Chuandao.
As long as Liu Chuandao remained the sect leader, he was confident that he could keep Qingshan Sect standing and protect the status quo until his eventual death.
"What should I do?” Mr He asked.
"Help him out."
"What excuses should I make?" Mr He grinned widely like an old wily fox. Liu Chuandao widened his eyes in a glare, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at him.
"Can't you think of an excuse on your own? Why are you asking me instead?"
Mr He caught the cup nimbly and placed it carefully on the table. He laughed. "Alright then. I'll think of something."
He took his leave and left the study, leaving Liu Chuandao to fume in private.
Jiang Ning was really something.
It had been years since Liu Chuandao had thrown a temper. Yet, a brief conversation with Jiang Ning had gotten Liu Chuandao boiling with anger.
Mr He felt laughter bubbling inside him.
It seemed that no one was truly invincible.
Jiang Ning walked out of the sect leader's residence. Liu Qing was waiting outside for him. She raced towards him as soon as she saw him.
"Did you find out what's going on?" There was a faint blush on her face and she dared not look Jiang Ning in the eye. Instead, she kept her eyes down and spoke softly. "We...how did we..."
"Your imagination is running wild."
Jiang Ning reached out and flicked his fingers against Liu Qing's forehead.
"Ouch!" Her hands shot up and covered her forehead protectively. "Why did you do
that?"
