The two of them exchanged a look. Liu Chuandao didn't say anything and merely snorted.

Mr He snickered like a wily fox.

They knew very well that Qingshan Sect was a unique sect. But it was on the decline and its standing had been steadily falling over the years. Many people were eying it hungrily.

The guests that Zhang Heng had invited to the sect had come on the pretext of seeking Liu Qing's hand in marriage. But their true intention was to infiltrate Qingshan Sect and carve a place for themselves in the sect before anyone else could.

He said "our" and not "my". This wasn't a responsibility that was solely shouldered by the sect leader.

If Qingshan Sect were to fall and fail to perform the purpose it had been created for, a devastating calamity was going to befall them.

"I know," Mr He nodded. "Don't worry. I'll keep it standing. Even when I'm dead, I'll help you and the generations of sect leaders that follow to keep the sect standing."

His voice was filled with certainty and determination.

There were few in the Inner Court, Outer Court, and even amongst the elders, who were truly loyal to Qingshan Sect. How could Liu Chuandao not know?

The only person whom Liu Chuandao could trust was Mr He.
