The Successor

Many were already questioning the validity of Zhang Ruochen's death, and some even questioned Lin Yue's identity.

Zhang Ruochen was on thin ice at the moment, and with the slightest mistake, he would be gone forever.

For this reason, he could only kneel from afar, even though his mentor had collapsed in front of him. He wouldn't dare to step closer to his mentor's fallen body.

If his identity was exposed, he would either die at the Sword Pavilion, or be taken to the Central City.

He managed to keep his sanity and rationality at this crucial moment, suppressing his emotion by telling himself constantly not to be emotionally driven when things fell apart.

If he was being impulsive, he would disappoint his mentor's lifelong protection, and all of his effort would have been in vain.

"What's the matter, Lin Yue?"

Mu Jiji and Xun Hualiu, who were at the back, rushed to his sides, helping him to get back on his feet.
