The rest of the group waited outside, chattering away as they questioned how Lv Feichen had managed to awaken, completely ignoring the Grand Priest who had just entered.
After all, in their view, it was perfectly normal for the abbot to have some matters to discuss with the Grand Priest.
Only Zheng Qing showed a hint of surprise and suspicion, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the hall, as if pondering something.
At that moment, Lv Feichen approached with a smile, "Elder Zheng Qing, what are you looking at?"
"Oh, nothing much. I just feel a bit dazed, probably because I’ve been overworked lately,"
Zheng Qing quickly masked the surprise in his eyes and replied with a smile.
"Oh? Is that so? Elder Zheng Qing, you should rest more. Fortunately, everything is settled now; after today there’s nothing to worry about!"
As he spoke, Lv Feichen took a step forward attentively, seemingly intending to check on Zheng Qing’s condition.
Zheng Qing discreetly retreated a step, "Thank you for your concern, Feichen. I also think that resting more will help!"
Lv Feichen wanted to say something further, but at that moment, Lü Xiuming approached.
Annoyed by Lv Feichen’s previous attentiveness towards Zheng Qing, he spoke in a stern voice.
"Feichen, since people don’t want to engage with us, you should speak less!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Lv Feichen’s hand and led him away.
Lv Feichen paused, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, but it faded quickly, after which he nodded slightly at Zheng Qing.
"In that case, I’ll take my leave first, Feichen."
With that, the two of them departed.
But Zheng Qing’s mind was in turmoil.
Because although others might not have noticed, he observed everything clearly.
Especially the murderous intent in Lv Feichen’s eyes when Lü Xiuming grabbed his hand.
What’s going on?
Why does Lv Feichen seem odd after waking up?
What’s the deal with that murderous intent?
Isn’t he supposed to have a good relationship with Lü Xiuming?
These doubts plagued him, but what puzzled him most was Lv Feichen’s attitude towards him.
It’s known that his status within the True Martial sect isn’t high, and he’s almost marginalized.
If it weren’t for the current abbot Lü Zhongxuan noticing him, he likely would have gone unnoticed.
Previously, Lv Feichen was a proud figure, always maintaining a surface level of respect but never being this attentive.
What’s the reason for all this?
Zheng Qing sensed a connection pointing towards something but couldn’t quite grasp it.
At that moment, the hall’s door was pushed open again, and the Grand Priest Lü Qixian emerged, full of confidence.
"The abbot has ordered all elders to enter the hall for crucial discussions!"
"Yes!"
The elders, suspecting nothing, bowed and began walking towards the hall.
Except Zheng Qing, who hesitated at the end.
Though the familiar hall was in view, a voice inside him cautioned not to enter, or death would be certain!
At that moment, the Grand Priest Lü Qixian turned his head toward him.
"What’s wrong, Elder Zheng Qing? The abbot has ordered, hurry inside!"
Zheng Qing shivered, then bowed deeply, replying softly, "Yes!"
Lü Qixian nodded, suspecting nothing, and turned to enter the hall.
