"Yes, it was a disciple named Wang Ming, but his name was replaced by question marks, and his picture vanished. Could I be mistaken? I saw he was listed as an outer court disciple," the elder replied hopefully.
"No, you saw correctly. I was the one who hid his name. And do not tell anyone about this—understood?" Jiang Hong said firmly.
"Y-Yes, I understand," the elder replied with a panicked voice.
"Are you okay, Elder?" Jiang Hong asked with a frown.
"Yes, I'm fine," the elder replied. Jiang Hong didn't say anything else and ended the call.
"Is it just me, or did that elder seem unusually nervous?" Jiang Hong asked with a frown after disconnecting the call, raising an eyebrow. The other peak masters also looked doubtful.
"Hehehe..." Lei Ping suddenly started chuckling, which caused everyone to turn their heads toward him.
"Hmm? Supreme Elder, why are you laughing all of a sudden?" Qin Mu asked in confusion.
