CHAPTER 1376 MAKE SOME CONCESSIONS

Tan Xing just laughed and didn't say anything.

Of course he could guess.

Since they could groom a talent like Fang Qiu, it meant that the prowess of the reclusive clans could not be belittled.

The martial arts circle was even more boisterous than before because Jiang Ning had allowed public viewing of one page of the manual and allowed many people to attempt understanding the manual.

He was hoping to increase the overall capabilities of the martial arts circle in case they actually had to fight these reclusive clans head on in the future.

And that was because nobody really knew exactly what those reclusive clans were trying to do.

So preparations had to be made.

Jiang Ning had made an accurate guess.

Fang Qiu had indeed returned to his family.

He was surprised that he didn't face any punishment, and Heishan actually helped him hide the whole thing about sneaking out of the house and going beyond the mountain.

Doing something like that should have resulted in a punishment of reflecting on his actions for at least a month up to half a year!

But even though Heishan was an elder in charge of keeping discipline within the clan, he didn't tell anybody at all.

"Why?"

Fang Qiu wasn't stupid. The clan was huge, so even though his status within the clan wasn't ordinary, he was still subject to the clan's rules.

If he went against the rules, he had to accept the punishment. Nobody would be able to get him out of it.

But Heishan, a man who had always been very strict about the rules, didn't say anything and didn't allow him to talk about this to anyone else too.

"There's no why.” There was even a faint smile on Heishan's face. "I can be fair and just, but at the same time, I can make a few concessions to certain people."

"Fang Qiu, I have high hopes for you. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?”

Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "I don't really understand."

Even if he did, he didn't want to say he did.

Even within the reclusive clan, there were various factions that competed fiercely with each other. Heishan wasn't from Fang Qiu's faction, so it was surprising that he didn't take this chance to put Fang Qiu down, and even let him off instead.

Fang Qiu really didn't understand.

"Then I'll speak a little more clearly," said Heishan. "Yan Tang was the one who told you that the manual is out there, right?"

Fang Qiu's pupils instantly narrowed.

Yan Tang reported to Heishan?

Did Heishan purposely want him to know about this?

"So what if he did?" scoffed Fang Qiu.

"I think it's enough for just you to know about this matter. Now that you're back, there's no need to tell anybody else. Do you get what I mean?”

Fang Qiu immediately grew doubtful inside. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

It seemed like his guess was wrong somewhere.

If Heishan was the one who purposely allowed Yan Tang to tell him about this, then what did the last thing he said mean?

Why didn't Heishan want him to tell anybody else?

It seemed like very people in the Fang family knew about this matter. Perhaps he was the only who knew.

"If you listen to me, then I won't punish you. In fact, if you need to in the future, I could even make some concessions for you.”

The smile on Heishan's face slowly faded and his voice became colder, "But if you tell someone else..."

"Fang Qiu, I'm sure you don't want your chances of becoming the next head of this family to be taken away from you, right?"

This was clearly Heishan dangling a carrot in front of him, giving him a slap and making Fang Qiu still say that the carrot was sweet and delicious!

The expression on Fang Qiu's face changed slightly. He suddenly felt that the Fang family was very complicated.

In the past, he wouldn't have thought so much about it since he only cared about martial arts. But after he took this trip outside, he got to know Jiang Ning and so many other people.

And now, Heishan was suddenly friendly and suddenly unfriendly. This made his heart suddenly start pounding loudly...
