Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Better to Kill by Mistake Than to Let One Go
Noticing Elder Puzhu’s gaze on him, Lin Yun smiled faintly. "Is something wrong, Elder Puzhu?""Haha, it’s nothing," Puzhu replied with a smile. "I was just wondering what you’ve been through. A person’s cultivation speed is determined by their innate talent, but their character must be forged through hardship."
"Forged through hardship? Perhaps," Lin Yun murmured, his gaze drifting to the distant horizon as he heard Puzhu’s words.
While Lin Yun and Puzhu were talking, the four disciples who had just left Lin Yun were taken directly to Chang Jing’s residence by his men.
Seeing Chang Jing’s grim expression, the four of them dropped to their knees with a THUD the moment they entered the main hall. They began explaining frantically, "Senior Brother Chang Jing, you have to believe us! We didn’t say anything to Lin Yun, and we never thought of betraying you, Senior Brother Chang Jing."
Listening to their tearful pleas, Chang Jing said coolly, "Why are you all panicking? Have I said anything? Your panic... could it be you have a guilty conscience?"
Hearing this, the four men’s hearts sank. Chang Jing was indeed suspicious of them.
Looking at the four men kneeling on the floor, Chang Jing said flatly, "Alright, you can go back. Remember, if anything happens in the future, you are to report to me first."
Chang Jing showed no emotion on the surface. The four left Chang Jing’s residence, terrified the entire way. The calmer Chang Jing acted, the more they believed he wanted to kill them to silence them.
"What should we do?" Back in one of their courtyards, the four gathered to discuss.
"Senior Brother Chang Jing is definitely suspicious now, and our masters aren’t in the palace. I think we should lie low for a while. Let’s wait for our masters to return before deciding anything," one of them said.
Hearing this, the other three immediately grew tense. "You mean... run?"
