Jiang Ning just sat there. Liu Qing didn't bother him. She wasn't in the mood to bother him anyway. She simply watched him quietly from afar, staring at his back as one would stare at a lovely view.

Somewhere at the Inner Court was Zhu Qi. He was stewing in resentment.

The Mr He's reprimand had him bewildered and incredulous.

It was obvious that Jiang Ning's origins were dubious. He must harbor an ulterior motive for infiltrating Qingshan Sect.

Anyone who had a brain could tell. Mr He was the head of the Disciplinary Hall. He must suspect as much too.

"He's afraid of incurring Third Miss' wrath, I'm sure of it. But what is he afraid of?"

"She's the sect leader's daughter but she is complacent and doesn't strive to improve herself. Look at her skills. She's not qualified to stay in the Inner Court."

"Have you heard? If she doesn't pass the test again this time, the sect leader's going to send her to the Outer Court."

A few of them were discussing fervently amongst themselves.

Zhu Qi sat there with a dark look on his face and scoffed.

"She had it coming! She's only allowed to be so arrogant and look down on the rest of us in Qingshan Sect because of her status."

He couldn't control his furious outburst.

"What should we do now, Senior?"

One of them looked at Zhu Qi and asked.

Zhu Qi was the one whom they all looked to for instructions. He called the shots.

It was easier to get things done when you had a leader.

"If we look at it one way, this only concerns Third Miss's personal safety." Zhu Qi scoffed. They didn't care about Liu Qing's safety. She deserved whatever that might happen to her.

"But if we look at it in another way, this concerns the safety of Qingshan Sect! This is a serious matter!" He slammed the table. "If Mr He doesn't dare to intervene, we'll simply have to speak to the sect leader himself!"

Zhu Qi's face flushed lightly.

As Inner Court disciples, they weren't qualified to speak to the sect leader.

Even Portico disciples who wanted to gain the sect leader's attention had to be of sufficient competency.

They weren't qualified at all.

But if they were to prove themselves this time, they might be promoted directly to a Portico disciple. Such a promotion was an honor of a lifetime.

Zhu Qi's words had the others all excited.

All of them wanted to become a Portico disciple.

Becoming a Portico disciple meant a

promotion in status and an increase

in the resources that they could access. They had more

opportunities to gain the sect leader and elders' attention and favor Their chances of leaving the sect and making a name for themselves would increase exponentially.

Like a sudden flare of light, the explosive revelation lit their eyes up.

They exchanged looks with one another. They were still slightly hesitant.

"It doesn't seem right for us to demand to see the sect leader."

That would be challenging the authority of their immediate superiors. They should at least speak to the principal of the Inner Court Bypassing him to speak to the sect leader wasn't exactly proper.

"You really think the principal of the Inner Court will incur the wrath of Third Miss for us when Mr He won't?" Zhu Qi said unhappily.

All these people in high positions were forgiving towards Liu Qing no matter how terrible she was because they didn't want to embarrass the sect leader.

Any other person would have been sent to the Outer Court ages ago.

It wasn't a fair fight. Some people had to work hard their whole life to earn their final place as an Inner Court disciple. Liu Qing, on the other hand, was born into the position. The thought of it made one furious and indignant.

"Just this once!"

Zhu Qi rose to his feet. "I'm certain that Jiang Ning's hiding an ulterior motive. We just have to let the sect leader know. He'll investigate the matter and get to the bottom of things!" "Our service to the sect will be recognized then." Content

The rest appeared slightly excited when they heard that. Someone swallowed their saliva in anticipation.

This was an opportunity. They wouldn't get another one if they missed it.

"I'm in!"

"Count me in too!"

"It's a golden opportunity staring us in the face. We can't let it pass!"

"So, we'll be bypassing our superiors. So what?"

Everyone spoke in unison. No one wanted to let such an opportunity slip through their fingers.

Jiang Ning's appearance was a gift from heaven. They would be wasting an opportunity that heaven had bestowed upon them if they were to let it slip by.

"I heard that the sect leader will be paying

a visit to Third Miss to check on her progress. This is our chance..." Zhu Qi narrowed his eyes and an icy glint flashed within. "Everything will hang on what happens today!"
