Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning) novel Chapter 2148

"The murderer has not been identified and is still on the loose. How will Master Ting rest in peace?" Jiang Ning said mildly. "Elder Ting Feng, I believe this isn't what you want for Master Ting."

The elder's face was slightly pale. He didn't say a word and simply stared at Jiang Ning silently.

"Both of us know that the murderer is someone else. Do you not wish for Master Ting's death to be avenged and his murderer brought to justice?"

"There's no murderer." Elder Ting Feng shook his head, his voice clearly trembling when he spoke.

He was filled with obvious aggrievement and resentment.

Jiang Ning could tell.

"Our chief's death was a result of an accident during his training. He got out of control and suffered grievous injury to his meridians. No one killed him. There must have been a misunderstanding," droned

Elder Ting Feng as he spewed words that he found unbelievable.

But he had to say them.

The elder didn't speak again. With a Buddhist gesture and a slight bow, he indicated that it was time for them to leave.

Jiang Ning smiled wordlessly, got up and left.

Liu Zong and Liu Heng followed him with mild confusion.

They didn't voice their bewilderment as they followed Jiang Ning out of Buddha Sect.

When the three of them reached the foot of the mountain, Liu Zong finally blurted out. "Master Ting was clearly murdered. Why is Elder Ting Feng trying to conceal the truth?"

The truth was plain for all to see. His attempts at concealment weren't going to change what had happened.

"He's trying to protect Buddha Sect," said Jiang Ning.

That was equally plain to see.

The elder must know whom the murderer was, but he dared not incur the latter's wrath. The deaths might stop at Ting Chan if he kept his distance from the murderer. Otherwise, it could mean the destruction of the entire Buddha Sect.

Jiang Ning would have done the same. When you were not powerful enough, this was what you had to do sometimes. You had to swallow your pride even when someone was pushing you around.

But this was their chief's death that they were talking about. Ting Chan had been the pillar of Buddha Sect.

"We won't be able to find any clues if Elder Ting Feng refuses to tell us anything," said Liu Heng. "But his statement does clear Brother Jiang of all suspicions. No one can be the murderer if there's no murderer in the first place."
