Vol 2 Ch 84: The Power of the Huge Wave
"I…"
Min Jiangtao turned around, trembling, and saw his "junior brother" seated calmly in the room, holding a teacup and pouring tea with measured movements. The rich aroma of tea filled the room, but instead of enjoying it, he felt an overwhelming sense of killing intent and the stench of death.
"Don't be nervous, have a seat," Zhang Xuan said, gesturing invitingly.
Min Jiangtao’s body stiffened. Knowing he dared not refuse, he shuffled forward step by step and sat down uneasily. Picking up the tea bowl with shaking hands, he forced a smile. "Junior Brother, you're not resting?"
"There's no need to be nervous. If I really wanted to kill you, you’d have already been dead the moment you showed disrespect," Zhang Xuan said casually, waving his hand.
Min Jiangtao exhaled a long breath. That made sense. If the other party truly wanted him dead, he wouldn't still be breathing.
Zhang Xuan, noticing his silence, began tapping the table lightly with his fingers. His expression was calm as he gazed at Min Jiangtao. "Since you've figured it out, there's no need for me to hide it anymore. You understand what a Chaotic Fate Practitioner is without me explaining, right? This whole act was staged to infiltrate their ranks. It’s a decision made collectively by all the elders of the Destiny Hall headquarters. You should know what this means!"
Zhang Xuan had killed Mo Qing, fully aware that the Mo Dao Sect wouldn't let it slide and would likely send their experts, maybe even Mo Baiye himself. Thus, he preemptively set up this elaborate trap to lure them in.
