Was it last night... the moment of the confrontation?
In all honesty, the image of that man in the green shirt with cold eyes popped into his mind without reason.
A chill began to form in Ke Junyan's heart.
The significance and threat contained within this jade pendant seemed to assault him head on.
Even if he was able to secure his position within the sect, that man wanted him to remain uneasy at all times, to live in constant fear, unable to find peace.
At this moment, he stood in the courtyard, bathed in warm sunlight.
The man in the green shirt seemed to stand just where he had vanished the night before, hands behind his back, watching Ke Junyan with an indifferent expression.
Ke Junyan's hand clenched slightly.
A disciple walked in from the front hall, respectfully saying:
"Sect Leader, Elder Liu."
"Liu Wenyu of Red Cliff Sect seeks an audience..."
