The denunciations arose from every corner.
It was quite embarrassing for the Divine Dragon Guard.
Even those abroad who intended to win over Xiao Chen had abandoned the idea—what value was a cripple?
"Damn it, who's spreading these lies?"
Ying Long and Teng Long had unpleasant expressions, as they were even called in for a talk about this matter by their superiors.
Once it was confirmed to be a rumor, they weren't severely punished, but they were demoted with a salary cut for a year.
They were quite frustrated.
Though the rumor was false, they indeed had made such demands of Xiao Chen.
They could only accept the punishment.
Now, their only thought was to utilize the Mo Sect's Legging Scrolls, Weapons Scroll, and Qi Scroll to forge powerful martial artists.
In this way, they could redeem themselves and regain their superiors' trust.
As for clarifying that Xiao Chen hadn't been crippled,
that was impossible; it would only make matters worse.
