So, Jiang Ning was simply a tool.
It seemed that Liu Chuandao had not yet decided who was going to succeed him as the next sect leader.
The better brother who performed better and won Liu Chuandao's approval would become the next leader of Qingshan Sect.
Liu Heng snorted at Liu Zong's retreating back. He knew that his elder brother had always looked down on him. His elder brother was convinced that Liu Heng wasn't qualified to vie for the position of sect leader with him. But Liu Heng thought otherwise.
As long as the successor's position remained up for grabs, he still had a chance of becoming the next sect leader.
In fact, he believed that he deserved the position more than Liu Zong did. He suited the role better. He was the right person to succeed his father as the next sect leader.
"I'm the one who'll lead Qingshan Sect into its next era of glory!" Liu Heng snorted, then turned and walked away.
Liu Chuandao sighed in his study.
The tea in his cup had gone cold.
He had stopped drinking it. His mind was filled with the image of his two sons and the act that they had put up for him earlier.
He didn't know where he had gone wrong. Why had they turned out this way?
They were blind to the responsibilities and duties that they should be shouldering. They had no cause to live for. They had no idea what they, as his sons, should rightly feel for Qingshan Sect.
Instead, they treated the sect as a trophy.
"A hard lesson and a little suffering might do them some good." Liu Chuandao gritted his teeth.
He had been reluctant to grant Jiang Ning too much power because he was worried that he might not be able to rein in Jiang Ning. But it seemed that Jiang Ning had never been within his sphere of control.
He still knew little about the man who had come from beyond the mountains. He wouldn't have allowed this outsider to interfere with the matters of Qingshan Sect if he had a choice. This was his last resort.
He desperately wanted to know what Jiang Ning intended to do.
How was he going to cleanse the sect of its foul corruption?
Liu Chuandao knew that his two sons were not the only ones eyeing his position. There were many pairs of eyes watching him very closely.
