This answer was truly unexpected for everyone present. Yan Shu looked at Liu Zhiqing skeptically, wondering if he was telling the truth or trying to prevent Xiao Jihan from being expelled from the Xuantiang Sect.
Wen Youhe hadn't anticipated that this matter would involve Liu Zhiqing. He shot a glare at Liu Zhiqing and turned to Xiao Jihan, asking, "Is what your Third Senior Brother said true?"
Xiao Jihan nodded. "Yes."
Xiao Jihan was not one to easily owe anyone a favor. His agreement to the statement meant that it was indeed true.
Wen Youhe slammed his hand on the table in frustration, glaring at Liu Zhiqing. "You're utterly foolish! It's one thing to secretly study forbidden drugs, but why did you put it in writing and intend to pass it on to your disciples?! If others were to learn of this, how would they view our Xuantiang Sect?!"
Liu Zhiqing knew he had made a mistake and lowered his head in silence.
Beside him, Bing Shi'en tried to mediate.
