Chương 1938: Permeating Aura

The male elder next to Elder Ming sensed the transmission. He turned around with a look of suspicion. "What did you say to him?" he asked.

"A warning," Elder Ming said. "He needs to come clean to the elders and sect masters. Lying will only make things worse."

The male elder looked toward Alex. "He cheated during the Assembly. I don't know how worse things can get for him," he said.

"You might be right," Elder Ming said and turned around, saying nothing more.

Alex didn't turn to look at Elder Ming at all. He was still trying to wrap his head around what she meant. Why did she want to meet him? He had never interacted with this elder at all, and suddenly she wanted to talk to him. And that too only if he managed to survive whatever was coming?

The sect masters and elders landed in front of them and the two elders bowed in respect. Alex, however, remained upright. There was no respect in him for these people. Not even fake ones.
