Unwavering loyalty

Liu Zhenzhen.

"Of course, I remember everything."

"Since the Grand Elder is so loyal to the Silent Sect, he must be very willing to cooperate with me to find out the truth. Please, Grand Elder, go back and rest, and do not go out."

"Of course, it's all temporary."

The Grand Elder was furious upon hearing this.

He said so much, but it was all for nothing. Liu Zhenzhen still believed Su Zhan more, which infuriated him. However, he couldn't say anything, otherwise, wouldn't he seem both Qi Ingestion and guilty?

"Alright, then I'll reflect on my actions behind closed doors and examine where I fell short, causing the sect leader to doubt me so much."

The Elder's words were forceful, but his attitude was actually submissive.

Liu Zhenzhen wasn't entirely sure herself, but she felt that listening to Su Zhan was the right thing to do; if she was wrong, she could simply apologize to the Grand Elder.

Moreover, at present, only the Grand Elder has the time to do this, and speaking up for the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect has indeed given her a basis for doubt.

Some Elder did speak up for the First Elder, all of whom had previously supported Elder, but Liu Zhenzhen resolutely refused to change her mind.

"My mind is made up, there's no need for further discussion. I'm doing this for the Elder's own good; otherwise, wouldn't the Elder be in a difficult position? This is merely for the Elder to rest, not for him to reflect on his actions, so there's no need for you to be nervous."

Seeing that Liu Zhenzhen had already made her decision, the Elder said no more, since it was pointless.

Su Zhan spoke again.

"It's definitely inappropriate to send the Grand Elder back to his own place."

"Who knows if there's any way he can escape? Maybe we should send him to the Bamboo Tower I used to live in. There's a formation there, and the Grand Elder is safe inside."

While it's called safe, it means they can't get out; in other words, the Elder trapped inside, forced to leave a familiar place.

"Don't go too far."

"You're absolutely certain I got rid of the Pavilion Master of Flower Pavilion. What grudge do I hold against you?"

The Grand Elder said angrily.

Some Elder echoed this sentiment, though their words were less forceful, but their meaning was the same.

"Isn't that necessary?"

Why bother with that?

"It's better not to treat the Grand Elder like that."

"Let the Grand Elder return to his own place; why bother going to yours? It's unnecessary."

However, Su Zhan looked at Liu Zhenzhen, waiting for Liu Zhenzhen decision.

Liu Zhenzhen nodded without much hesitation.

"Alright, then let's do as Fellow Daoist Su says. Elder, you're going to the Bamboo Tower, so I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Su to see you off, is that alright?"

Su Zhan naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Of course, Elder, please."

The First Elder looked at Liu Zhenzhen as if he wanted to say something, clearly hoping to get back to his own place. However, Liu Zhenzhen turned and left, taking all the Elder with her, leaving only Liu Yanyan behind.

The Grand Elder was even angrier, but Su Zhan was quite satisfied.

When you help someone and they always go against you, you don't want to help anymore. But Liu Zhenzhen is very obedient, and he doesn't mind continuing to help her.

Besides, he disliked this Elder very much. This guy had previously ordered the disciples nearby to keep an eye on him, and he hadn't repaid him yet. This was his way of repaying the Elder.

"Elder, what are you still hesitating about? Do you need Sect Master Liu to formally ask you to come to the Bamboo Grove with me?"

The Grand Elder looked at Su Zhan with a gloomy expression upon hearing this.

This was the first time Liu Zhenzhen had ever seen such a gloomy expression on the Grand Elder's face.
