Liu Zong and Liu Heng were utterly speechless.
Was that really a negotiation?
Jiang Ning must be the only person who could have conducted a negotiation in this matter. The both of them had been wrought with anxiety and shaking in their boots the entire time.
They remembered how they had been so full of themselves and had thought that they were superior to everyone else. But that had been when they had been in Qingshan Sect. When they had been outside and dealing with members from other sects, they had always felt a hint of inferiority.
Jiang Ning had shown no hint of fear though. In fact, he had left the other sects speechless and with no grounds for refutation in their verbal spars.
The brothers were completely won over by Jiang Ning's boldness and confidence.
"You said that you have a solution for the gray fog. Is that true?" asked Liu Heng.
Everything boiled down to that.
If they could solve the problem of the gray fog, the other sects would have no reason to attack Qingshan Sect or to venture outside the mountain and seek a new home.
"Of course it's not." Jiang Ning threw them a glance. "What the hell is it anyway? I've never seen it before. How do I know how to deal with it?"
The brothers felt their heart sink to the depths of a deep abyss. They nearly collapsed to the ground as their legs turned to jelly.
It had been all a lie.
Jiang Ning had been spinning lies.
How could that be true?
He had promised the sects that he would solve the problem of the gray fog within two months. But he had no idea what the gray fog was. How was he going to deal with it?
Liu Zong's face felt numb. He raised his hand and slapped his cheek. "Brother Jiang, are you joking? This isn't a laughing matter!"
He was on the verge of tears.
What an emotional rollercoaster life was. Moments ago, he had been filled with respect and adoration for Jiang Ning, who had displayed such courage and strength before the sect leaders of the six major sects and made a forceful stand against them.
But now, Jiang Ning admitted that he had been lying!
"I'm not joking," said Jiang Ning. "This is something we have to deal with sooner or later. We just have to come up with a solution."
Having said that, he turned and left silently.
