"These two young fellows still haven't matured, so it's time they suffered a little." Mr He narrowed his eyes and walked with his hands behind his back like an old man. But he didn't hide the gleeful smile on his face at all.
He suddenly started to enjoy the feeling of looking forward to the two boys' impending misfortune.
Jiang Ning was a rather interesting character after all.
Without realizing it, Mr He started walking faster. He simply couldn't wait.
He went straight to look for Jiang Ning, and spotted him on a rattan chair in the courtyard from afar. A group of guards were practicing their kicks and punches not too far away from him. This fellow was even starting to give these guards pointers as well?
Mr He narrowed his eyes but didn't think too deeply about it. He just took it that Jiang Ning was bored.
"Jiang Ning!" he called out right away. "Something's happened."
He walked over to Jiang Ning and didn't even bother taking any of the tea. "One of your men got hit."
Jiang Ning's half closed eyes immediately opened wide at these words.
"What did you say?"
"Those guards you sent to me? One of them got hit."
Mr He briefly recounted what happened.
"Liu Zong and Liu Heng are really immature and they're just children. I'm just here to tell you about it, but don't blow it up, alright? If word gets to the sect leader, it'll look bad on all of us." While he said these words, Jiang Ning stood up and walked off without any expression on his face. © 2024.
"Jiang Ning, don't do anything rash! They're the sect leader's sons after all!"
shouted Mr He from behind, but clearly didn't intend to stop Jiang Ning at all.
"Come with me!"
Jiang Ning couldn't be bothered with him. Of course he knew why Mr He had specially come running all the way here to look for him.
"One of your brothers has been hit!" shouted Jiang Ning. "We're going to seek redress!
All the guards who were still practicing their kicks and punches were stunned for a moment, then they instantly flew into a rage.
"Who did it? Who hit our brother?"
"Liu Zong and Liu Heng," replied Jiang Ning.
The guards were even more stunned to hear these two names and didn't know how to respond.
If these two were the ones who hit their brother, then they would just have to suffer in silence.
They were the sons of their sect leader!
They enjoyed a high position in Qingshan Sect, so guards like them couldn't possibly do anything to them. It was too bad if they got hit. Nobody dared to move.
There was no such thing as justice when it came to such disparity in power, so they could forget about seeking redress.
They would only end up getting even more insulted.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning glanced at all of them. "Don't dare to go?"
"Come with me!"
He couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on them and just stormed off. The captain of the guards clenched his teeth and followed behind Jiang Ning. They hadn't known Jiang Ning for a long time, but they definitely knew Jiang Ning's temperament.
He protected his own fiercely!

They called him 'Brother', and he really took good care of them. He had never despised them or ordered them about just because they were merely guards.
On the contrary, Jiang Ning always gave them the respect they deserved and the help they needed.
Now that one of their brothers had been hit, Jiang Ning was going to stand up for them!
Even if they had to be punished, they were prepared for it!
The entire group immediately left with Jiang Ning to look for Liu Zong and Liu Heng.
Mr He got a little excited watching them march off angrily and wondered if he ought to tell Liu Chuandao about it.
"Forget it, I'll go and see what happens first. I don't think anyone will die."
He knew that Jiang Ning was aware of how far he ought to go.
Meanwhile.
Liu Zong and Liu Heng were sitting inside the courtyard of their living quarters.
They had to think of something.
Even if they couldn't get Elder Luo Feng out, they had to at least prove that they were on Tianlian Sect's side. That way, they would still stand a chance to put in a good word for Qingshan Sect in front of Tianlian Sect, and Qingshan Sect wouldn't be doomed anymore.
"Should we look for Father? I don't think it'd work though. He seems to be possessed or something. I really have no idea how Jiang Ning managed to fool him."
"Even the Senior Elder is muddleheaded." "What about the rest of the elders? What
did they say?"
The two of them were terribly annoyed as they discussed this matter.
