NovelOnlineJiang Ning had said everything that had needed to be said. What more could Mr He say? He glanced at Jiang Ning.
"We must uphold the integrity of the Disciplinary Hall. Those are the rules that have been set in stone by our founding ancestors. The rules that govern the Disciplinary Hall are the rules that govern Qingshan Sect. There will be no order without these rules!" said Mr He sternly. "Chen Long made a good point. We should conduct a search of the Portico." Chen Long nearly passed out.
When had he said anything like that? He hadn't mentioned a single word at all.
The Disciplinary Hall was going to search the Portico. It would be the end of him if the elders and the Portico disciples found out that he had been the one who had reminded Mr He that the Portico remained unsearched. "Mr He! Mr He!" Chen Long shouted frantically. "This has nothing to do with me! I didn't say anything! I really didn't!" Jiang Ning threw him a casual glance.
"That counts as a merit to the sect, Mr He. You could consider lightening his sentence." "I think that's a great idea." Jiang Ning and Mr He played beautifully off each other. Blood drained from Chen Long's face rapidly, turning his pallor as pale as a ghost. "Mr He..." He slid slowly to the ground while cursing himself secretly. Why had he decided to keep a low profile? Why had he tried to play it cool? Why... S~EaRch the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"We have to search the Portico!" said Jiang Ning.
"Those are bold words. Do you know how much trouble that would bring?" "Isn't that what Chief Liu wants us to do?" Jiang Ning pointed out casually. "The greater the scene we cause, the better." Mr He and Jiang Ning exchanged a look with each other. They could see a hint of smile in each other's eyes.
This did sound like fun.
"Oh, right. Chen Long's innocent. Don't get him killed. He'll cin useful later," said Jiang Ning.
"You make a terrifying enemy. You're filled with terrible ideas," Mr He scoffed. "I'll find the right opportunity and have him becyour lapdog." He was well aware that Jiang Ning had begun to set up a trap meant for Zhang Heng. He wondered if Zhang Heng was going to fall for it.
Zhang Heng was clearly the man who had killed Luo Heng. Mr He and Jiang Ning both knew that.
No one had exposed the truth and both of them were still feigning ignorance Finding evidence to prove that Zhang Heng was the murderer was going to be tough, so Jiang Ning had decided that they weren't going to rely on evidence at all.
Mr He had not realized that this was what Jiang Ning was planning to do until this very moment.
The two men parted ways. Jiang Ning returned to Liu Qing's residence and back to his tea and snacks, enjoying a leisurely rest as if he were on a vacation.
Mr He, on the other hand, appeared to have gone mad.
He was feigning madness, but his act was more terrifying than the real deal.

Every man in the Disciplinary Hall had been sent out and was now heading for the Portico. No one would escape unscathed as they investigated Luo Heng's death. Anyone who tried to stop him would receive the brunt of his verbal lashings as he accused them of defying the sect's rules and disrespecting its name. No one dared to speak back against him.
"Take those who dare to retaliate!" thundered MCHe. "No one shall challenge the rules of the Qingshan Sect and the authority of the Disciplinary Hall. These are the laws that have been set in stone by our founding ancestors. No one shall disobey them!" That was all that he had to say.
It didn't matter who stood before him or what they said to him, that was all Mr He had to say to drive the elders at the Portico trembling with rage and ready to get into a fight with him. But Liu Chuandao himself had not spoken a single word and had allowed the search and interrogations to take place. Who were they to say otherwise? "Chief Liu, are you going to stand by and watch as Mr He turns the sect upside down?" Zhang Heng finally blurted out.
The Inner Court was no longer under investigation, which meant that he could and dared to say anything. Besides, he was speaking up on behalf of the other elders. He could afford to sound self-righteous.
