Luo Heng didn't retaliate. He was trembling in terror.
They were right. The wine had been poisoned.
He stared at the spilled wine on the floor. The poison had been fatal.
He couldn't believe how vicious Zhang Heng was.
"Who are you?" The captain of the guards thundered. He could tell that Luo Heng wasn't a guard at all. He pulled his sword out and held it against Luo Heng's neck.
That had been a close shave.
Every one of them could have died just now.
He didn't care if they died. But Third Miss could have died. Jiang Ning could have died.
This bastard. How dare he poison the wine!
BAM!
Someone pulled Luo Heng's helmet off him, revealing his face. Liu Qing shot to her feet instantly.
"Luo Heng? That can't be true." She was gradually sobering up. She glanced at the poisoned wine. That woke up her instantly. "Were you the one who poisoned the wine?"
Liu Qing's eyes turned red.
This was Qingshan Sect.
She was the sect leader's daughter. She couldn't believe that someone had had the audacity to poison her!
She couldn't believe that that person was the most powerful disciple in the Inner Court, Luo Heng. How dare he?
The air was taut with tension. A dozen guards surrounded Luo Heng and bound his wrists.
Luo Heng dared not fight back.
How could he?
Even if he were to kill these guards, he wouldn't be able to escape out of the sect's compounds. Killing them would simply earn him another sentence. It would mean a more painful death.
He looked up and stared right at Jiang Ning. The man was looking at him with indifference. His heart skipped a beat.
"You knew it was me all along, didn't you?” Realization dawned upon Luo Heng then.
"That's right," Jiang Ning admitted. "So I thought I'd have some fun with you."
"You!" Luo Heng snarled. He could taste blood in his mouth.
