601 Seventh Slap 8 (1/2)
Nangong Xu's face was already bathed in a layer of cold sweat. He had reported everything single detail faithfully to the Headmaster and the Vice Headmaster that day. Although he was not in complete agreement with the way the two Headmasters had dealt with the matter, it was nevertheless beyond his position to interfere.
Nangong Xu was still agonising on how to formulate a suitable response when he noticed Long Qi's hand that was clasped around the handle of the sword hanging from his hip suddenly tensed, and that two inches of the gleaming steel had been exposed above the scabbard!

”Well, Ning Xin is the Vice Headmaster's daughter, and she comes from a prosperous family background, how can ordinary disciples compare to her?”
”How shameless can she be? She actually attempted to murder people and loot their bodies after that! And now she is in hot soup with the Rui Lin Army and the Cloud Treading Peak.”
”The Vice Headmaster is always portraying an image of being dignified and incorruptible all this time, I never would have thought that he would be capable of such despicable acts of backstabbing…..”
