What?

Liu Qing thought that Jiang Ning had to be joking.

The best thing that these guards could was merely to maintain order within Qingshan Sect. They were pretty well trained, but they weren't very gifted in martial arts, so no matter how hard they worked, they couldn't outperform what their bodies were capable of.

Jiang Ning had proved to be very impressive so far, but it was impossible to turn these men into great masters overnight.

When it came to battles between sects, it was normally a showdown between the disciples of both sides, the elders, and even the sect leaders.

The guards were never part of this.

But now Jiang Ning was saying that they were going to be powerful enough to decide whether they won or lost?

"Don't do anything rash," said Liu Qing quickly. "There's no need to send them to die like that."

Jiang Ning looked rather deeply at Liu Qing.

"You don't have to send yourself out to die either."

"What are you talking about?" retorted Liu Qing. "I'm a disciple of Qingshan Sect, and I'm the daughter of the leader of the sect! I will live with Qingshan Sect and die with Qingshan Sect!"

"But you're not Chief Liu's biological daughter," said Jiang Ning. "You could completely withdraw your participation."

Liu Qing scoffed. "But I'm still a disciple of Qingshan Sect! As long as you've been one of Qingshan Sect's for even just one day, you're one of us even if you die!"

Jiang Ning laughed and pointed to the guards training like no tomorrow in the distance.

"It's the same case with them."

Liu Qing looked over and saw how the guards were trying their best to improve themselves. They didn't care how much blood, sweat and tears they went through and only sought to become better in the shortest time possible for the sake of Qingshan Sect.

She had never seen anything like that before.

It wasn't just herself and her guards, but all of Qingshan Sect. Regardless of whether it was the Inner Court, Outer Court or even the Portico disciples, everyone was getting ready to fight. Nobody dared to take this lightly because they knew that a huge battle was inevitable.

They were going to protect the dignity of Qingshan Sect and protect everything that Qingshan Sect had worked so hard to accumulate all these years. This was a road where they could see the end of.

The end was death!

But none of them thought about retreating.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Nobody wanted to become the next Luo Heng. They didn't want a sect that was too cowardly to seek redress even if they had been killed by someone outside the sect.

"Are you confident?" Liu Qing took a deep breath.

"We have to win," replied Jiang Ning.

He didn't need to explain too much.

This was a battle that they could not lose.

Even if he was fighting the gods, Jiang Ning was going to trample all over them!

He wasn't going to lose, and he couldn't lose either.

"Brother Jiang, Chief Liu has invited you over," called out someone at the door.

Jiang Ning got up. Liu Qing opened her mouth to speak but didn't say anything.

She watched Jiang Ning leave and she really wished he would just leave like this. Jiang Ning wasn't part of this fight in the first place Even though he had ignited this fight she still didn't want to see

Jiang Ning die in this battle.

Once Tianlian Sect launched their counterattack, they would go all out to kill everyone, and Jiang Ning would be their number one target for killing their elder. "Jiang Ning, you've got to keep living." Liu Qing's eyes were slightly red. "I hope we'll meet again in our next lives."

Meanwhile.

Outside Liu Chuandao's study.

Jiang Ning reached a hand out to knock on the door.

"Come in." Liu Chuandao had changed out of his usual long robe and was now in clothing suitable for going to battle. He looked like he was ready to fight anytime.

'Are you going to start fighting already?" said Jiang Ning with a laugh. "Do you regret letting me do such crazy things?"

Liu Chuandao shook his head.

Tve thought about it already. If

Qingshan Sect doesn't do anything extreme, we'll never change. What we lacked was someone who was willing to do crazy things like

you."

He sighed. "We were all too stuck in our old ways and behaved like frogs slowly getting boiled in a pot, so Qingshan Sect slowly lost its fighting spirit. Sometimes, it just takes one battle to wake us all up from our ways."

"You did the right thing."

Jiang Ning had seen the situation very clearly, while Liu Chuandao realized that he hadn't seen the situation clearly at all even though he had lived for so many years.
