Both Liu Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong looked solemn because they knew how ugly things could turn in an Elders' Adjudication Meeting.
"Thinking of escaping? Ling Xiao, you'll be murdered right this instant if you dare to run away! I'd advise you to follow our order obediently to avoid getting hurt!"
Like a sheep in a wolf's clothing, Lu Lishan who was cowardly at heart only pretended to be fierce as she yelled at Ling Xiao. Although she was backed by the Grand Supreme Elder Lin Shan, she contemplated the possibility that Ling Xiao would be driven to desperate actions when cornered.
"Don't you worry! Elders' Adjudication Meeting, huh? I've heard so much about it and would really like to broaden my horizons. Let's see what they're going to do about me!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly. He did not seem particularly concerned about it.
