Not long after Su Yi and Tie Wenjing had left, Third Elder Ku Zhen said out of nowhere, “There’s something fishy about Xiao Jian’s origins.”
The elders’ eyebrows rose in surprise.
“Didn’t you only just investigate his background, Third Elder?” someone asked.
Ku Zhen’s blood-red eyes were cold and intense. “Based on my experience and intuition, I can say with certainty that Xiao Jian is hiding something from us!
“Rather, he has ulterior motives for joining Qingwu Divine Court.”
The elders’ expressions shifted erratically.
Sect Leader Liang Lingxu furrowed his brow, then said in a tone rife with meaning, “It really is a bit surprising that a descendant of the Torch Dragon lineage would choose to join our sect, but then... who doesn’t have a few secrets?”
Liang Lingxu looked at the third elder. “Besides, we’ve arranged for him to join Wandering Night Palace. He’ll be under your leadership, Third Elder. I trust you won’t let him get up to any trouble.”
After a moment’s silence, Ku Zhen said, “I’ll keep an eye on him.”
Liang Lingxu said calmly, “We cannot falsely accuse the innocent, but we cannot let the wicked go unpunished, either. I just hope that Xiao Jian can put his talents to good use under your guidance!”
