Jiang Ning had said everything that had needed to be said. What more could Mr He say?
He glanced at Jiang Ning.
"We must uphold the integrity of the Disciplinary Hall. Those are the rules that have been set in stone by our founding ancestors. The rules that govern the Disciplinary Hall are the rules that govern Qingshan Sect. There will be no order without these rules!" said Mr He sternly. "Chen Long made a good point. We should conduct a search of the Portico."
Chen Long nearly passed out.
When had he said anything like that?
He hadn't mentioned a single word at all.
The Disciplinary Hall was going to search the Portico. It would be the end of him if the elders and the Portico disciples found out that he had been the one who had reminded Mr He that the Portico remained unsearched.
"Mr He! Mr He!" Chen Long shouted frantically. "This has nothing to do with me! I didn't say anything! I really didn't!"
Jiang Ning threw him a casual glance.
"That counts as a merit to the sect, Mr He. You could consider lightening his sentence.”
"I think that's a great idea.”
Jiang Ning and Mr He played beautifully off each other. Blood drained from Chen Long's face rapidly, turning his pallor as pale as a ghost.
"Mr He..."
He slid slowly to the ground while cursing himself secretly. Why had he decided to keep a low profile? Why had he tried to play it cool? Why...
All he had wanted to do was to reveal his true strength when the right moment came along. No one could have expected things to turn out this way.
He didn't want to die!
Jiang Ning and Mr He didn't seem to hear his words as they turned away and left.
"We have to search the Portico!" said Jiang Ning.
"Those are bold words. Do you know how much trouble that would bring?"
"Isn't that what Chief Liu wants us to do?" Jiang Ning pointed out casually. "The greater the scene we cause, the better."
