"Turn the sect upside down?" Mr He barked out a curt laugh before Liu Chuandao could say a word. "Are you suggesting that Chief Liu also turning the sect upside down?" "How dare you!" Zhang Heng blurted out in a fluster.

He had not been aware of how scathing Mr He could be. His quick reply had Zhang Heng choke back whatever words he had ready at the tip of his tongue.

He had not the audacity to insinuate that Liu Chuandao was involved in the chaos that Mr He was causing in the sect. It was obvious that this was the case, but he couldn't put it out in the open.

"We all have the sect's reputation at heart. Zhang Heng, are you trying to cause trouble for the sect? Did I not search the Inner Court too?" A dark look descended on Mr He's face then as he stared fixedly at Zhang Heng. "Are you the culprit?"

Tension filled the hall instantly.

Everyone's attention was yanked towards Zhang Heng. Their eyes revealed the different thoughts that occupied their minds.

Zhang Heng's heart sank, but he quickly pulled himself together. The panic that had appeared in his eyes was but a brief flicker that vanished as soon as it had surfaced.

"Cease your baseless accusations! Luo Heng's my best disciple. Why would I kill him? Am I out of my mind?" His eyes were red as he thundered. "You cannot imagine how upset I am at his death. How could you accuse me of killing him? Luo Heng won't be able to rest in peace!"

Zhang Heng looked ready to fight Mr He to the death.

That look of agitation on his face made him resemble a young lady who had been dishonored and was overcome with intense resentment and fury.

"If

you I didn't do it, why are you so worked up?" argued Mr He, who was clearly equally upset.

The voices in the hall rose.

"Silence!" Liu Chuandao slammed his fist on the table suddenly and silenced the two.

He gave Mr He and Zhang Heng a look.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Luo Heng was trying to kill Jiang Ning, my future son-in-law. He was disrespecting me and Qingshan Sect. Someone must have instigated him to attempt the assassination. We must get to the bottom of this." He threw a glance at Zhang Heng. "Don't you wish to know who Luo Heng's murderer is?"

Zhang Heng's heart raced as he stared at Liu Chuandao's eyes.

He had a feeling that they knew what he had done. They simply didn't have any evidence to prove their suspicions.

"Of course I do! I have to!" Zhang Heng declared. He pointed at Mr He furiously. "Mr He was the one who accused me of being the murderer without any proof to support his accusation. He was the one who had gone too far!"

"He can't be the murderer."

A voice rang out in the air suddenly.

Jiang Ning slowly strode into the hall.

"How could Mr Zhang be the murderer? He's the last person who wants me dead. He can't be the murderer."

Everyone's eyes turned towards Jiang Ning as he walked towards them.

So did the eyes of Liu Zong and Liu Heng. The faint nod that Liu Chuandao gave Jiang Ning made their guts churn slightly.

This man was going to marry into

the Liu family, and he was only going to be married to a daughter that Liu Chuandao had adopted. He was hardly someone who deserved Liu Chuandao's favor.

"I don't think you're qualified to speak," said Liu Zong with a hint of hostility in his voice.

The sect leader, the various elders,

Mr He, the principal of the Inner Court, and everyone present in the hall were the pillars and upper echetons of Qingshan Sect. Who was Jiang Ning compared to them?

"And who might you be?" Jiang Ning glanced at Liu Zong.

"Humph, don't you know who I am?" Liu Zong demanded angrily.

"Are you really famous? Why should I know who you are? Luo Heng seems like a bigger deal than you are."

Liu Zong was going to blow up.

Had he just compared him to a dead man?

Did he just say that a dead man was better than him?

"You!" He took a step forward, ready to hit

the man when Liu Heng stopped him.

The hall wasn't the place to start a fight.

"Doesn't matter. I think we count as your seniors," Liu Heng said coolly.

After all, they were Liu Qing's elder brothers.

"And who are you?" Jiang Ning tilted his head.
