"Master Guo, for now, we've only concluded that Chu Lingguang has been bewitched by a demon. If he stubbornly refuses to give us information on this demon's identity, then he will be branded as a collaborator. When that happens, forget being a Captain—he won't even have the right to live as a common citizen."
"He might even have his cultivation crippled."
Lin Jiangkun declared, his voice ringing with finality.
Guo Wei shuddered and stumbled back two steps.
He had placed great hopes in Chu Lingguang, his most prized Disciple. He had even come to see Chu Lingguang as he did Guo Xiaotian. Hearing Lin Jiangkun's choice of words, he fought to suppress a boiling rage.
"I am his master. I want to know everything. How did you come to believe he colluded with a demon? Why would the Court go so far as to... to demote him to the West Warehouse?"
Guo Wei said, forcing himself to remain calm.
