Then Elder Lu added calmly, "Naturally, this is not without benefit. Ryan has already agreed that as long as you keep this secret, he will offer appropriate help to those among you who wish to enter the Western House. With Li Wei's assistance, your chances will increase greatly."
The moment those words fell, the crowd erupted.
"Really? This is real? I swear I won't say a single word! Not even to my own Clan!"
"Young Master Li saved my life. Even without any reward, I'd keep his secret with my life!"
"Yes! I swear it!"
"I nearly died just now. Young Master Li dragged me back from the gates of death. I'll do whatever he asks!"
"Guaranteed secrecy!"
Voices overlapped, urgent and sincere, as fear, gratitude, and excitement churned together.
Elder Lu then turned his gaze toward the Western Mansion disciples and examiners. "This applies to you as well. No leaks. Not a word. Do you understand?"
"Yes! We guarantee it!" the examiners and disciples answered without hesitation.
