Chapter 223: Life 73, Age 32, Martial Grandmaster Peak
After leaving the Disciples alone to discuss things in private, I moved to a location roughly a dozen meters away and started work on a second building, a new Technique Hall. However, as I worked, I kept my focus on the Affinity Hall. The Disciples were no doubt unaware of how easily I could monitor everything that was happening in there, so I expected their behavior to be a bit more genuine than when I was looming over them.
Shortly after I left, Liang, who had been deep in thought, lifted his head and started walking toward the Lightning Essence Gathering Formation.
Mo moved to block him. “What are you doing? Weren’t you listening when the Patriarch said that was a bad idea?”
Liang ground his teeth together. “The Patriarch promised me I could learn to control lightning. Then, he forced me to push dirt around for three months. I’m done. I am going to learn to control lightning!”
“Liang–”
Liang was no longer listening. He walked forward and pushed Mo to the side.
Mo could have resisted this. He was a Martial Disciple 7, and Liang had just had his cultivation base entirely erased. Mo could have stopped Liang, but he didn’t. He simply turned away and gave up on trying to talk sense into the other boy.
To the side, ShouLi was biting her lower lip in thought.
“I’m supposed to help these fellow clan members, right?”
