What an annoying, irritating young punk.
Mr He decided that if he were to have a son, he had to make sure that his son wouldn't turn out like Jiang Ning. He would rather shove him back into the womb than deal with another Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning watched Mr He leave, then shut his eyes. He seemed at ease and without a care in the world.This belongs to - ©.
This wasn't the time for him to make a move yet. He was going to let Mr He do his job.
"There's something strange going on between the two of you." Liu Qing's voice rang out behind him.
She had been watching them quietly. She hadn't interrupted their conversation because she had had no idea what they had been talking about.
She had been utterly clueless.
They had spoken in a language that she had understood. But she couldn't understand what they had been saying at all.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. We're both men so there won't be anything between us."
"That's not what I meant." Liu Qing's cheeks flushed. She glared at Jiang Ning. That jerk was always yanking her chair. "The two of you are hiding something from me."
Jiang Ning opened his eyes and gave Liu Qing a look.
"You're wrong," he said honestly. "We've not been telling you anything at all. We've been hiding everything from you."
Liu Qing stood there for a good ten seconds speechlessly. In the end, she inhaled deeply, then turned and walked away.
He was so infuriating. That wasn't how you spoke to someone!
Jiang Ning was such an asshole. He could drive you mad with words alone.
Even if what he had said was indeed the truth, he could have kept it to himself. Was he trying to make her mad?
Jiang Ning shut his eyes again after Liu Qing left and continued to bask leisurely in the sun.
Meanwhile.
Mr He had made his way back to the Disciplinary Hall.
He slammed his palm onto the table loudly. A dozen of his best men stood before them. They dared not make a single sound.
Luo Heng's death was an embarrassment to the Disciplinary Hall and a stain on his reputation.
This was a stain that wasn't going to go away from a long time.
"Tell me, are you ashamed of yourselves?" Mr He smiled mirthlessly. No one dared to answer him. He bellowed furiously at his men. Is there any way you could embarrass me further? You've ruined my reputation!"
Everyone fell to their knees with a resounding thud and hung their heads. No one dared to say a word.
The Disciplinary Hall occupied an elevated status in Qingshan Sect, reporting directly to the sect leader himself.
The extent of its jurisdiction was the farthest in the entire sect.
Yet, someone had just humiliated them all, especially Mr He.
"You let someone who should have stayed alive die in our cells. What are you trying to tell everyone? That we're all useless pieces of trash? That anyone can enter and leave the Disciplinary Hall as they please and kill whomever they wish? Do you not feel shame? I do!" said MrHe in agitation.
"Do you think that I've reached an age where my reputation no longer matters?"
"Mr He, please don't get worked up!" his men urged in unison.
"You're telling me not to get worked up?" Mr He slammed his palm onto the table and rose to his feet. "How am I supposed to stay calm?"
"Mr He, we'll find out who's behind this and restore the Disciplinary Hall's reputation!"
"You?" thundered Mr He. "This is

"We do!" shouted the men.
They were furious beyond persuasion.
The reputation of the Disciplinary Hall had been cast in doubt. This wasn't something that only concerned Mr He. It concerned them all.
If they didn't do anything, they would become the laughingstock of the sect.
Not only would they be mocked by the disciples in Qingshan Sect, but they would also suffer the mockery of other sects as well.
"Good!" Mr He bellowed. "We'll find the culprit and get to the bottom of this!"
His voice boomed like thunder and threatened to shift the ground beneath their feet.
"I'll take responsibility for whatever that happens!"
Everyone's eyes reddened when they heard Mr He's words.
