"Jiang Chen? What brings you here?" Elder Luo asked in surprise when he saw Jiang Chen.
Elder Luo was one of the Sect Master's trusted confidants. He had met Jiang Chen before and knew how highly the Sect Master regarded him.
Jiang Chen had previously become a Core Disciple after placing first in the inner-sect competition.
"I just returned to the sect and heard that the Sect Master was injured, so I came especially to see him. But this person here wouldn't let me see the Sect Master. He said that with him here today, I could forget about seeing the Sect Master," Jiang Chen answered truthfully.
"Jiang Chen, you..." Leng Chenyang was furious.
"Leng Chenyang, is what Jiang Chen said true?" Elder Luo turned to Leng Chenyang.
"Elder Luo, Jiang Chen must be talking nonsense. How could I possibly do such a thing?" Leng Chenyang hurriedly replied.
"Hmph. Gate disciple, answer me truthfully. What exactly happened? Remember, don't lie. If you dare deceive me, I'm sure you understand the consequences." Elder Luo looked at the gate disciple.
Upon hearing this, the gate disciple hesitantly glanced at Leng Chenyang.
He was afraid of being retaliated against!
"Just speak. I guarantee that no one will dare retaliate against you. If anyone dares to do so afterward, I will punish them severely myself," Elder Luo said.
Only after receiving Elder Luo's guarantee did the gate disciple recount what had happened.
Leng Chenyang's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Hmph, Leng Chenyang, you've got some nerve! How dare you meddle in the Sect Master's affairs? The Sect Master hasn't even spoken yet. When did it become your place to make decisions?" Elder Luo shouted angrily.
"I'm sorry. I was confused for a moment and made a mistake. Please forgive me, Elder Luo," Leng Chenyang hurriedly
