Chapter 192: Meeting with the Valley Master
“Relax,” the head of Nightmoon Valley comforted. “My daughter has told me a lot about you, but I have no intentions of involving myself with matters among you young people.”
Li Lang slowly nodded again before directing a question of his own.
“If that is so, then why did you summon me here? I do not believe I’ve done anything that warrants Nightmoon Valley’s attention, not to mention that of the esteemed Valley Master.”
The middle-aged man before Li Lang simply grinned at him in response. The look clearly screamed, “Do you really think so?”
“Umm, Valley Master Sima?”
“You can just call me senior. We’re not an organization that places much importance on formality.”
“Then Senior Sima, about my question—”
“Don’t you think you know the answer deep down inside?”
Various things suddenly flashed across Li Lang’s mind. His heart started beating faster upon thinking of the possibility that Nightmoon Valley had discovered his role in the events in the pocket realm.
That shouldn’t be possible. Stay calm. There’s no way any of them found anything. At most, they should only be slightly suspicious of me for winning the betting after I came out. But given the one hundred-twenty permutations of the last five remaining cultivators, my chances were only slightly less than one percent. It’s not that outlandish of an outcome.
Then something else? Maybe about how we’re actually practicing orthodox techniques despite our aptitude? No, they’re demonic cultivators. They wouldn’t want to learn about how I did it, and if they wanted to prevent the orthodox sect from obtaining it, they could just eliminate us.
Is it the ambush we got caught up in that was meant for the Eroding March Pavilion? That mess got Sima Xue involved, so he may be angry about that!
