"How had Saint Kong been progressing lately?" Murong casually asked as she toyed with a pebble in her hand.

Zhou Hao gently tossed out the pebble in his hand. "Pretty well. He had spent three months with Cai Yong and the others, going through the Nameless Sect's history and all kinds of information.

"He had Cai Yong obscure the news that someone would soon be taking office before spreading it around.

"It was to give the Nameless Sect's disciples and elders a preventive shot first.

"In another two or three days, the Nameless Sect would probably be swept up in a wave of discussion. Everyone would be guessing whether the news was true and who would be parachuting in to take office.

"Anyway, these next few days were definitely going to be lively."

Listening to him, Murong tossed out her own pebble as well and said with a smile, "The Nameless Sect should be facing quite a bit of upheaval."

"Mm." Zhou Hao nodded in agreement. Then, looking up at Zhou Mu and Zhou Nian in the sky, he continued casually, "But there probably would not be any major commotion. Once the excitement passed, people would naturally forget about it.

"Until the truth descended, they would remember it again. Then they would suddenly see the light, which would lessen their urge to resist.

"But this measure was merely a cup of water against a cartload of firewood. When the time came, what was meant to happen would still happen."

Murong smiled faintly and said nothing more on the matter. Rising to her feet, she dusted off her hands and smiled. "I won."

"It would be hard for you not to win." Zhou Hao laughed and pinched her cheek.

He and Murong had been competing to see who could throw farther.
