"He killed Liou Tao and even seized the stone bead, yet he dares to openly flaunt it. If the Liou Family finds out, they'd probably be furious."
"However, he does have quite a few stone beads, probably not much less than Yingsi's beads."
...
The commotion at the registration table of the Fifth Peak did not escape the attention of Zhao Zhuoran, who was responsible for this Outer Sect trial.
As Liou Yuan poured out the stone beads, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the elderly man was walking towards them.
"Mr. Zhao!" Liou Yuan and Wei Miaomeng respectfully greeted the elderly man with a bow.
"Count the stone beads." The old man nodded slightly, signaling Wei Miaomeng to continue her task, while his gaze fixed on Liou Yuan, his old eyes filled with a smile.
The two were somewhat old acquaintances, and they exchanged a silent smile without speaking.
"This Mr. Zhao knows how to play it safe," Liou Yuan secretly murmured in his heart.
