Chapter 498

Seeing Long Chen's sluggish expression, Shui Wuhen almost laughed. But on the outside, she still acted icily, saying, "I asked, why you would maliciously injure someone in the Xuantian Pavilion? Who gave you such nerve?"
Now Long Chen couldn't help smirking inside. He finally understood that Shui Wuhen was saying this to help exonerate himself. 
For him to have hit someone here had encroached upon her prestige as monastery head. It was no wonder she had to act angry. But unless Long Chen had razed down the entire Xuantian Pavilion, that kind of offense was not worth the death penalty. At worst, she would just have to ‘severely punish' Long Chen. That was what all these sect leaders wanted to see, as Long Chen was just too fierce, and they needed to suppress him.
LC then explains that he was testing a theory by slapping Sha.
Shui then asks LC to stay behind after the meeting.
