The Oath

"Oh, I hoped it would be," Ning said. "With what you are doing, a 'little problematic' is the least of your worries here."

"Haha, surely you don't mean yourself, right?" the Superior asked with a bit of a smile.

"Well, only time will tell I guess," Ning said. "However, do tell me. Did you fake the undying oath?" 

The superior's eyes suddenly got sharp. "What?" he asked. 

"You know… the whole 'I die if I don't fulfill what I promised' thing? I heard you made an Undying Oath to everyone here that you would tell them about Spirit Transformation realm if they helped you with it," Ning said. 

"They are going so far as to kill themselves with a poison pill. That means they definitely do believe you took the undying oath."

"Which then means one of two things," Ning said as he looked directly into the superior's eyes.
