Chapter 914: Chapter 916: What Does It Mean Chu Ge sneered, “Though not anything cold-blooded, the analogy is quite apt. Think about it, how many people who can sit in the position of a Dragon Group elder have poor mental resilience? Moreover, after cultivating martial arts for so many years, how could their hands be free of blood?” Lin Dong fell silent, looking down at his own hands. He once yearned for a life of swift justice and adventure, longing for the martial arts tales he saw in TV dramas. However, he never thought of staining his own hands with blood. In his eyes, every life was worthy of respect. Jian Chunqiu raised his hand and slapped Lin Dong’s forehead, “Alright! Stop dwelling on yourself. Your hands are still clean now. After you truly encounter something, you’ll understand that often, our hands get stained with blood because we have no choice.” “More often, it’s to protect ourselves. People are naturally selfish.” Chu Ge suddenly said this softly. He then coughed lightly, “Alright, let’s stop reminiscing here. The appointment with Elder Su is near. Have you settled the child?” Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Although Chu Ge’s plan was to use the child as an excuse to get Elder Su out of the Dragon Group, the child didn’t need to show up at all, nor did they need Elder Su to see the child, actually, Elder Su shouldn’t see the child at all. Otherwise, if Elder Su saw the child unharmed, he would soon see through their scheme. “I had the principal take the child away; there won’t be any problems,” Lin Dong said. Chu Ge nodded, “When Elder Su arrives later, you will be the one to receive him.” Lin Dong nodded heavily. All the children from the orphanage had been relocated during the day to the villa arranged by Nangong Man Sha last time. Now the orphanage was empty, yet brightly lit. Lin Dong stood in the orphanage courtyard, looking up at the two-story building in front of him, and couldn’t help but lament, “This is the first time I haven’t heard the children’s lively noise in the orphanage.” Long Er glanced sideways at Lin Dong, always puzzled and unable to understand why. As he mulled it over, Long Er kept staring at Lin Dong. Lin Dong realized there was a wooden pipe always watching him from the side and couldn’t help but turn to the source of the gaze, “Long Er, why do you keep looking at me?” Long Er awkwardly laughed, “I just can’t figure out something.” Long Er coughed lightly and then said, “You guys are from the Ancient Martial Arts sect, so why are you so earnest in helping our Dragon Group?” Upon hearing this, Lin Dong scoffed, “Don’t overthink it, I’m not helping your Dragon Group; I’m helping my colleague, Long Ang.” “But Long Ang is also a member of our Dragon Group, and he’s our Group Leader too.” Before Long Er finished speaking, Lin Dong raised his hand to stop him, “You’re wrong. In my eyes, Long Ang is just a colleague from the gambling stone field, not some leader of the Dragon Group. As for helping him, it’s merely to prevent him from being overly concerned about your Dragon Group’s people and matters in the future.” Long Er pursed his lips; he wanted to say more but ultimately said nothing. Lin Dong raised his hand and lightly patted his shoulder, suddenly leaning over to whisper in his ear, “Actually, I think you’re pretty good. Maybe you should consider joining us at the gambling stone field.” Long Er was stunned, looking bewildered at Lin Dong. What did he just say? He thought he was pretty good? Could such words come from someone in the Ancient Martial Arts? Long Er was a bit dazed. Spending this day together, he got to know the Ancient Martial Arts more closely, realizing it wasn’t as rumored within the Dragon Group. “Ah, alright, alright, I’m just joking with you. Look at how scared you are!” Lin Dong chuckled lightly, then glanced down at the time; it was already six-thirty. In half an hour, Elder Su would arrive. “Mr. Chu, there’s half an hour left.” Lin Dong stepped forward to remind him. Chu Ge nodded, casting a sideways glance at Long Ang, asking, “When will your Dragon Group’s Great Elder and Second Elder arrive?” Long Ang glanced at the time, “At this point, they should be here now.” Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, two more people appeared at the orphanage entrance. However, these two didn’t look too pleased. Long Ang hurriedly went up to greet them, “Great Elder, Second Elder, you’re here.” The Great Elder remained relatively composed, though his face didn’t look good, it didn’t reveal much emotion. However, the Second Elder seemed a bit unsettled, his gaze slightly narrowed, looking at Long Ang with some displeasure, asking, “Long Ang, what exactly is going on here? Didn’t you say you know who the Dragon Group’s traitor is? Why, upon bringing us here, are there still people from Ancient Martial Arts present?” The Second Elder questioned, his voice loud enough for everyone in the courtyard to hear. Seeing the Great Elder and Second Elder arrive, Long Er followed suit, “Great Elder, Second Elder.” Neither had expected Long Er to be here too; they exchanged glances, then the Second Elder suspiciously looked at Long Er, asking, “Long Er, weren’t you already…” “Long Er, what exactly is going on? Yesterday, our Dragon Group was ambushed by the Black Witch Sect, and Elder Su claimed he saw with his own eyes that you died at the hands of the Black Witch Sect, leaving no trace behind. How are you standing here unharmed now?” Long Er hadn’t expected Elder Su to twist the facts so viciously. Gritting his lips, a bitter surge of anger rushed up from his chest to his head. “Great Elder, Second Elder, you’ve all been deceived by Elder Su! I wasn’t gravely injured by the Black Witch Sect; it was Elder Su! I caught him colluding with the Sect Hierarch Black Widow of the Black Witch Sect to form a secret alliance, and he wanted to kill me to keep it a secret!” Long Er said angrily. The Second Elder stared at Long Er in shock, incredulously asking, “What did you say? Are you implying that the Dragon Group’s traitor is Elder Su?” Long Er nodded firmly, “Yes! I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears!” The Second Elder apparently believed Long Er, growing a bit agitated. He turned to the Great Elder, excitedly asking, “Brother, what do we do now?” In contrast to the Second Elder’s agitation, the Great Elder was quite composed. He calmly swept his gaze around, scrutinizing everyone, finally letting his gaze settle on Long Er. “Long Er, do you know what your words mean?” The Great Elder suddenly spoke. Long Er nodded, “I know!”
