Neither of them uttered a word. They didn''t make a single sound.
"Train hard. I''ll be there at your test."Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
Liu Chuandao didn''t say anything else. He didn''t say anything to Jiang Ning, leaving immediately after he had spoken to Liu Qing.
Liu Qing was stunned and stood there like an idiot.
What...was going on?
Jiang Ning had remained in his seat through it all. He hadn''t moved a single inch when Liu Chuandao had appeared. He just drank his tea and ate his snacks.
It was clear that he was behaving as if he were Liu Chuandao''s superior.
Liu Qing wasn''t a fool. In the years that she had lived, she had not seen someone treat Liu Chuandao this way.
"Hey." Liu Chuandao had not answered her question earlier, so she turned and looked at Jiang Ning instead. "What is going on?
How did you know..."
Something struck her suddenly. Her pupils contracted.
"You spoke of someone who asked you to help me out. Is that...that''s impossible!
Why wouldn''t he instruct me himself? How did the two of you get to know each other? What''s this Extreme Sect? I''ve never heard of it. I''ve also never heard of..." This was driving Liu Qing insane.
She felt as if she was being kept in the dark. She knew nothing and had looked like such an idiot in front of Jiang Ning and Liu Chuandao.
"You''re still a kid. There are some things that you don''t know," Jiang Ning said mildly. "You''re not ready to know them yet.
You know what I mean?"
This man was still trying to bullshit his way through!
Liu Qing didn''t voice the thoughts in her head.
She stared at Jiang Ning, then bit her lips lightly. "You...are all assholes!"
Was he nning on humoring her this way?
She fumed and couldn''t be bothered to talk to him anymore. Now that she knew that Liu Chuandao knew Jiang Ning, she had decided that she didn''t care anymore.
Liu Qing turned away and returned to the training ground. Jiang Ning remained in his chair. The guards stood around him. The look in their eyes had taken on a hint of respect.
"There''s no more tea," said Jiang Ning.
"Yes, Sir. I''ll have a fresh pot of tea brewed for you right away."
A guard raced towards him and left with the teapot in his hands. He returned shortly and ced the teapot down carefully before taking a measured step back.
No one had expected Jiang Ning
and the sect leader to know each
other. Furthermore, they had not expected him... to share such a
unique rtionship with the sect leader.
In fact, Jiang Ning was the only person who knew that the both of them didn''t know each other at all.
When Liu Chuandao had said "You''re here", he had been testing Jiang Ning. He had been confirming his identity. Jiang Ning''s reply had been swift and honest. In replying "So I am," he had revealed his identity to Liu Chuandao.
He had been betting.
And he had won.
Qingshan Sect was indeed an extraordinary ce. Liu Chuandao had known that he hade from the world outside the mountain but he had feigned ignorance.
It was clear that Liu Chuandao knew
a great many things. At least, he was
definitely aware of the world outside the mountain, the Extreme Fist Technique manual, and the O significance of the word "Extreme".
"Things are bing moreplicated."
The information that the cemetery caretaker had shared with him must be obsolete. Perhaps it did not paint theplete picture. It was of no use to him.
How many sects were there within the mountain? What were the dynamics amongst the various sects? Jiang Ning knew nothing of that.
He had arrived here with a nk te. He had no clues and no information. It was going to be tough for him to survive like this.
"The antidote," Jiang Ning thought to himself. "The rest doesn''t matter. My top priority is to find the antidote and save Yuzhen." Liu Chuandao''s attitude earlier indicated
that getting the antidote wasn''t going to be that much of a problem.
He could simply ask Liu Chuandao directly when he met thetter again. The next time Qingshan Sect held its test was going to be the next time they met.
