Chapter 468: The Return of Medicine Sect (5)
At this time, the doors of the main hall were tightly shut, guarded by trusted attendants. Ye Chenghong sat in the seat of honor, with the four Elders seated below him. Nie Shan lounged casually on a sofa in the corner by himself.
"Senior Brother, meeting or not, why did you send Girl Qing out?" Nie Shan was somewhat dissatisfied. Since getting to know An Yiqing more than ten years ago, he had taken a particular liking to the young girl, treating her with the love and care of a father every time he saw her. Therefore, he was very unhappy with Ye Chenghong for sending An Yiqing away for a private discussion.
Ye Chenghong glared at him fiercely and said irritably, "Use your brain a bit! There are things Xiao Qing doesn’t need to know about yet!"
"Uh... Senior Brother, what you’re saying is..." Nie Shan was stunned and murmured his question.
Ye Chenghong nodded and let out a sigh.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall turned very heavy, and even Nie Shan grew quiet.
After a long time, the composed Great Elder stroked his beard and said in a low voice, "Sect Leader, we have been secretly monitoring his whereabouts over these years. However, we’ve found nothing. Do you think he might already be dead? After all, we all saw you push him off the cliff with our own eyes."
Ye Chenghong was silent for a while, then he sighed and shook his head.
"I have a feeling that he’s still alive and has been biding his time, just waiting for us to let our guard down before he fiercely strikes back." Remembering the fierce battle from twenty years ago, a desolate look involuntarily appeared on Ye Chenghong’s face.
Seeing Ye Chenghong’s expression, all four Elders and Nie Shan couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
