The Celestial Tier has many implicit rules, most of which exist to protect low-tier disciples.
If Ning Haotian stepped down from the first step to attack Wang Xu, it would be abusing power to bully the weak, violating the Celestial Tier's implicit rules.
Ning Haotian smiled faintly.
"Junior Sister Qing'Er, you're right. If I were to make a move against Wang Xu, it would indeed violate the Celestial Tier's implicit rules..."
Suddenly, Ning Haotian's voice changed, his gaze sharp as he looked at Wang Xu, "But what if this is the 'higher-ups' decision?"
Han Qing'Er's heart tightened.
The higher-ups?
If the higher-ups sent Ning Haotian, could it be... the Punishment Elder!
A flash of surprise flickered in Han Qing'Er's eyes.
Ning Haotian was one of the direct disciples of the Punishment Elder, and Wang Xu's previous actions indeed violated the Celestial Tier's implicit rules, which would have surely drawn the higher-ups' attention.
