"The murderer has not been identified and is still on the loose. How will Master Ting rest in peace?" Jiang Ning said mildly. "Elder Ting Feng, I believe this isn't what you want for Master Ting." The elder's face was slightly pale. He didn't say a word and simply stared at Jiang Ning silently.

"Both of us know that the murderer is someone else. Do you not wish for Master Ting's death to be avenged and his murderer brought to justice?"

"There's no murderer." Elder Ting Feng shook his head, his voice clearly trembling when he spoke.

He was filled with obvious aggrievement and resentment.

Jiang Ning could tell.

"Our chief's death was a result of an accident during his training. He got out of control and suffered grievous injury to his meridians. No one killed him. There must have been a misunderstanding," droned Elder Ting Feng as he spewed words that he found unbelievable.

But he had to say them.

The elder didn't speak again. With a Buddhist gesture and a slight bow, he indicated that it was time for them to leave.

Jiang Ning smiled wordlessly, got up and left.

Liu Zong and Liu Heng followed him with mild confusion.

They didn't voice their bewilderment as they followed Jiang Ning out of Buddha Sect.

The truth was plain for all to see. His attempts at concealment weren't going to change what had happened.
