Capítulo 919: Chapter 921: A New Level of Respect As Elder Su finished speaking, the Great Elder coughed lightly, “Elder Su, if Long Ang has truly allied with Ancient Martial Arts, I do not know whether I am hurt, but your actions now make me truly disappointed!” The Great Elder slowly stepped out of the shadows, his expression completely unreadable under the cover of night. But one could feel the cold aura emanating from his entire being. Elder Su was stunned; he never expected to meet the Great Elder here, and for a moment his mind went completely blank, “G…Great Elder?” If the Great Elder is here…then everything he just said… Elder Su’s eyes rolled as his brain quickly turned; he was recalling whether he had said anything he shouldn’t have, but try as he might, it seemed nothing he said could completely absolve him! “Great Elder, listen to me, things are not as you see them now!” Elder Su still wanted to make a final struggle. The Second Elder snorted coldly and stepped out of the shadows, his tone laced with sarcasm as he said, “Elder Su, you’ve really embarrassed us in the Dragon Group!” Tonight was his most humiliating moment in front of the Ancient Martial Arts! All thanks to Elder Su! The so-called family disgrace had been exposed in front of these people, and among them is the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, Jian Chunqiu. If he spreads this around, their Dragon Group would become a laughingstock of the Ancient Martial Arts! Elder Su tightly pressed his lips. If it were only the Great Elder, he might still hold out hope, but he never expected the Second Elder to be here too. It seems tonight, he’s going to fall here! “Great Elder, Second Elder, everything I said just now is true; I saw with my own eyes, saw him colluding with the Black Widow.” Long Er was afraid that the Great Elder and Second Elder would spare Elder Su to save face for the Dragon Group in front of these Ancient Martial Arts, so he anxiously stepped forward and spoke again. Long Ang raised his hand, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry Long Er, the Great Elder will make a decision.” “But…” Long Er was still a bit worried; he looked up at Long Ang but saw Long Ang giving him a slight shake of the head. Though somewhat puzzled, he said no more and stood silently to one side. Chu Ge walked directly to Lin Dong, first checking his pulse and simultaneously infused a thread of True Qi while doing so; in no time, Lin Dong awoke, and the injuries on his body vanish at an observable speed. However, the attention of the Dragon Group members was entirely on Elder Su, and no one noticed Lin Dong at all. Googlᴇ search 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽 Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu exchanged a glance, then nodded knowingly, “Long Ang, the rest is a matter for your Dragon Group, we’ll be heading back first.” Long Ang nodded, “Thank you.” “No need for thanks.” After Chu Ge and the others left, the face the Great Elder had been holding suddenly turned somber, his gaze sharp as he looked at Elder Su, his tone carrying a hint of ice, “Elder Su, do you have anything to say?” “Things have come to this, what more can I say? No, but I’ve never regretted my decisions; everything I’ve done was for the future of our Dragon Group; I have a clear conscience!” Elder Su’s tone became exceptionally firm, his eyes meeting the Great Elder’s directly. Long Ang saw him frankly admit his actions, and he let out a small sigh of relief; he sighed and said, “Great Elder, Second Elder, in this matter, Long Er is the most innocent; he sought me out out of urgency, so I hope the Great Elder won’t blame him.” The Great Elder nodded slightly, “Long Er did well in exposing the traitor; he deserves a reward.” Long Ang slightly curled his lips, “If that’s the case, thank you, Great Elder. The matters that follow will be internal to the Dragon Group; I’ll not interfere further. Farewell.” With that, Long Ang was about to turn away when Long Er looked at him anxiously, “Leader!” Long Ang’s steps halted; he didn’t turn back, so they didn’t see the reluctance on Long Ang’s face, “Long Er, when you see me in the future, you mustn’t call me leader anymore.” After speaking, he strode away. “Great Elder, Second Elder, can the Group Leader really not return to the Dragon Group?” Long Er grew somewhat anxious. Today, being able to capture Elder Su, Long Ang played a crucial role; he helped their Dragon Group catch the traitor, shouldn’t his merits offset his faults? The Second Elder stood to the side, sighed regretfully, “Long Er, I understand how you feel, but many things aren’t what we think they are now; actually, Long Ang isn’t suited for the Dragon Group. The world outside is vast, and his potential for development is also large. If you truly wish the best for him, then let him go.” Long Er didn’t understand what the Second Elder meant by these words, but he did understand that they were not planning to let Long Ang return to the Dragon Group. Chu Ge and the others had just returned to the orphanage not long ago when Long Ang arrived. Chu Ge asked curiously, “Why did you come so quickly? Aren’t you going to catch up with those elders? I thought they’d try to persuade you to stay, and you’d argue with them for a while.” Hearing the teasing tone from Chu Ge, Long Ang chuckled wryly, “Mr. Chu, you jest. If they truly wanted to keep me, they wouldn’t have sent me away in the first place.” “By the way, how is Lin Dong’s injury?” Long Ang asked, “I never expected Lin Dong to withstand thirty-eight moves under Elder Su.” Lin Dong had already regained some Primordial Energy at this point; he looked unwell, his lips tightly pressed as he sat there silently, clearly unhappy. Chu Ge chuckled lightly, “What’s the matter? You managed to withstand thirty-eight moves under Elder Su, aren’t you pleased?” “If I could defeat him, maybe I’d be happy!” Lin Dong said gloomily. In Lin Dong’s heart, it was no longer a personal duel between him and Elder Su, but a showdown between their Ancient Martial Arts and the Dragon Group. Yet now, he felt he had disgraced the Ancient Martial Arts. If this got out, he would become a sinner to them. Jian Chunqiu laughed heartily, “Lin Dong, you’ve already done well enough; don’t forget, you’re currently at the base stage of Ancient Martial Arts. To withstand thirty-eight moves from Elder Su, if word got out, no one would scold you and say you disgraced the Ancient Martial Arts. They’d even think you brought honor to us!” Lin Dong raised his eyes, looking at Jian Chunqiu with a bitter face, “Master, are you trying to comfort me?” Jian Chunqiu chuckled, “This is not comfort; this is the truth!” Long Ang couldn’t help but praise from the side, “Lin Dong, your martial arts truly make me look at you in a new light.”
