"Master." Wang Hao contemplated for a mont and said, "Capture the leader first to catch the thief. How about... we directly take out the leader? Tong Zhentian has a high reputation in the Martial Arts world, with extensive connections, not inferior to you, Master. Once he’s gone, who would dare to lead a rebellion against our Heavenly chanism Pavilion?"
Pausing briefly, Wang Hao continued, "And also Ling Chen, keeping him around is always a disaster, he must be eliminated along with Tong Zhentian."
"No way!" As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, Su i opposed, "Is killing all you can think of? Can’t you co up with anything else?"
"Pavilion Master, I..."
Before Wang Hao could speak, he was interrupted by Su He, who said, "Wang Hao’s proposal is good, but Tong Zhentian is not easy to deal with. Given the first attempt, they will surely strengthen their defenses. So, for now, we cannot take action against them. Wang Hao, go investigate clearly which other Martial Arts figures besides the Dragon Tiger Hall plan to do harm to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, and give a list."
"Understood." After speaking, Wang Hao stood up and quickly walked out of the main hall.
"Grandfather, what are you planning?"
Su He said evasively, "You cannot handle this matter. Leave it to instead."
"No way!" Su i’s attitude was firm, "Grandfather, I am still the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. No matter what you intend, I should be inford." At this point, Su i seed to have thought of sothing, turning the conversation, she asked, "And one more thing, why have you never told about the existence of the Skyhawk Pavilion?"
Upon hearing these words, a sharp gleam flashed in Su He’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "What Skyhawk Pavilion?"
"Grandfather, at this point you still want to keep secrets from ? Yes! Neither you nor my parents have told about the existence of the Skyhawk Pavilion. However, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion stores so much data, including nurous records about the Skyhawk Pavilion. Every past Pavilion Master of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion has the right to know about the existence of the Skyhawk Pavilion and has absolute control over it, why is there nothing for ?"
"Correct!" Su He nodded, "The Heavenly chanism Pavilion does indeed have a mysterious organization. However, since you were too young at that ti and not mature enough, your father and I decided not to inform you about the Skyhawk Pavilion, intending to wait until you have gradually matured before handing the Skyhawk Pavilion over to you for managent. Nonetheless, in the years you’ve held the reins of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, I have observed you closely from the shadows and believe you are still not qualified to manage the Skyhawk Pavilion, hence why I haven’t handed it over to you."
"So, all these years, the Skyhawk Pavilion has been under your control?"
Su He spoke earnestly, "You must understand that everything has two sides. In this world, black and white coexist. The Heavenly chanism Pavilion represents ’white’, while the Skyhawk Pavilion represents ’black’. I have withheld information about the Skyhawk Pavilion because I do not want you to beco too entangled in the bloodshed."
"In the years I’ve led the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, there have been nurous massacres in the Martial Arts world. Upon careful investigation, without exception, those who perished had grievances with our Heavenly chanism Pavilion, and so openly resisted the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. I suspect, this must have been the work of the Skyhawk Pavilion."
"As I ntioned, you don’t need to concern yourself excessively with these matters. Simply do your own duties well."
"No way. Grandfather, if it were before, you could do as you wish. But now that I am the Pavilion Master, everything should follow my vision. Within three days, I hope you hand over control of the Skyhawk Pavilion to ."
"What are you planning?"
"Nothing, I just want to save the Heavenly chanism Pavilion from repeating its mistakes. Grandfather, have you considered the consequences if the Skyhawk Pavilion’s activities were exposed? At that point, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion would beco the target of everyone’s attacks."
Seeing the determination in Su i’s eyes, Su He sighed gently, shaking his head, "Child, your thinking is still too naive. Perhaps placing the Heavenly chanism Pavilion into your hands was a mistake. Co!"
With that, two n with cold expressions instantly appeared at the door.
"Escort the Pavilion Master back to her room. From today onwards, no one is to allow the Pavilion Master to take a step out of her chambers without my permission, nor receive anyone. Understand?"
"Yes!"
Su i’s expression changed, taken aback, "Grandfather, are you... are you going to confine ?"
"It’s for your own good." With that, Su He gestured, signaling the two n to forcibly escort Su i away. Though Su i tried to struggle, she was overpowered by the n who grabbed her arms and dragged her out of the hall.
"If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave." Du Kang, swaying the emptied wine gourd, stood up from his seat.
"Do you think I’m wrong?" Su He questioned Du Kang, "Special tis necessitate special asures. Su i cannot handle it; I must take action myself. The Heavenly chanism Pavilion has been handed down for hundreds of years; I cannot let it be destroyed in Su i’s hands."
"You have your reasons, but Su i’s words also make sense. Consider this: how many lives have been lost due to the Skyhawk Pavilion’s actions over the years? The Heavenly chanism Pavilion is already at the center of a storm. Your authoritarian asures may have an effect, but while strengthening the Pavilion’s position, aren’t you also pushing it towards the edge of a cliff? Everything has two sides; you only see the good, but not the bad."
Pausing for a mont, Du Kang continued, "The Heavenly chanism Pavilion needs unity to overco adversity together. Su i is the current Pavilion Master. By imprisoning her, what will others think? You should think carefully about it."
"Will you support then?"
Du Kang halted, and after a few seconds of silence, slowly replied, "I will do my duties."
As Du Kang left, Su He found himself alone in the expansive hall, lost in thought. After a while, Su He tapped lightly on the table, prompting a figure to appear behind him.
"Notify the Skyhawk Pavilion to prepare for battle; the targets this ti may be nurous."
"Understood." The figure hesitated briefly and asked, "I heard Ling Chen didn’t die?"
"Correct, I saw him appear before . A renowned master of the Heavenly List, I hadn’t expected you to fail."
"Impossible! I clearly pierced his vital spot. Even if he had nine lives, he couldn’t survive unless..."
"Alright." Su He impatiently waved his hand, interrupting the other, "There’s no need to discuss this further, as it doesn’t greatly impact us. For now, you’re relieved of the responsibility for Su i’s safety; focus instead on handling the affairs of the Skyhawk Pavilion—avoid any more mistakes."
"Understood." The figure responded, instantly disappearing behind Su He.
