Chapter 2271
"We've already done everything according to what you told us. All the various sects have sent many people out to get ready." Liu
Chuandao looked rather worried. "Once a war breaks out, we're going to keep it within the mountain gate?"
"That's exactly the purpose and reason for existence for everybody just inside the mountain gate, and us outside the mountain
gate in Mount Zhongnan. I'm sure you are aware of this," said Fang Qiu. "Mount Zhongnan is a final layer of defense, and the
mountain gate itself was meant to keep those people in. I'm sure your family records have notes on these matters."
Liu Chuandao didn't say anything.
That was the truth.
It was the truth that many sects didn't want to acknowledge. This was something that every sect leader of every generation knew
about, and some even hid these things away. But the truth was the truth, and nobody could change that.
Once the inside of the mountain gate was to turn into a battlefield, it meant that they had to think about leaving this place.
"The eight reclusive clans of Mount Zhongnan were sent out from within the mountain gate. You guys are our next line of
defense." Fang Qiu took a deep breath. "This is your mission."
"I understand." Liu Chuandao nodded.
It was indeed his mission.
"Tell Jiang Ning that we're good on this side and that we will definitely get everything ready."
"That's good enough," said Fang Qiu. "If you need anything, send someone to look for me anytime. This is the first time we're
combining forces, and it will be the last time. I hope everything turns out well for all of us."
After saying that, Fang Qiu left.
Liu Chuandao stood there for a long time before finally exhaling very gently.
This day had finally come.
"Father, when is Jiang Ning coming back?" Liu Qing's voice came from behind him.
She knew that Jiang Ning's wife had given birth and her eyes were filled with blessings for the family, but her heart felt a little
disappointed and upset.
Liu Chuandao turned to look at Liu Qing.
"He'll be back."
"I know. I want to visit him," said Liu Qing all of a sudden. "I want to see his wife and child."
She was really curious. She wondered what sort of woman could make Jiang Ning so devoted to her, and really wanted to get to
know Lin Yuzhen. She wasn't going there to challenge her position or to disrupt their life. It was mere curiosity.
Liu Chuandao sighed.
"Liu Qing, if you go, you'd be even more upset. Forget it. He treats you as a
younger sister, and that's not too bad either."
Liu Qing's eyes reddened slightly as she smiled. "You're right. It's not too bad either."
She didn't insist and left after that.
He looked at his daughter walking off dejectedly and knew that she must be feeling lousy inside. But love was something that
could be really hard on some people. Besides, any woman who couldn't get like Jiang Ning would feel
Qu
disappointed for sure.
But the most important thing now was not romance.

Tve got to make preparations first. I'll go see how far along Senior Elder is."
Liu Chuandao threw everything else to the back of his mind and forced himself to remain calm and alert. Nothing was more
important than attending to what Jiang Ning had instructed him to do. Time passed slowly.
Everything was happening in silence. Yet there was a strange anxiety in the atmosphere. Even the air seemed so agitated that it
made breathing difficult.
"It's going to rain heavily."
Peter Pan looked at the darkening skies in the distance. The air was frighteningly heavy. Sach Th Find øel.nt website on

His gaze sharpened and he folded his arms behind him. He was like a spear that stood straight in the midst of the wintry winds.
"All of you, continue training." He looked at Brother Gou and the rest. If he didn't tell them to stop, they were not allowed to stop.
He didn't bother himself with them
anymore after that, and went to the Extreme Martial Arts Academy all by himself. He looked at the copies of the nine pages of
the Extreme Fist Technique Manual on display and didn't say anything for a long time.
He stood in the exact same place for an entire afternoon without moving the slightest bit. Nobody dared to disturb him, and
nobody knew what he was doing either.
It was as if he had turned into a statue as he stood without budging. His eyes just stared at the lines on the pages and seemed to
have gone into a daze.
After a long time, Peter Pan sighed.
"I see." His gaze was as sharp as a knife, and anyone who met his gaze would tremble in fear. "Jiang Ning Jiang Ning, I've really
underestimated you. You're really someone I'd love to love but also
love to hate at the same time."
