Zhang Ze thought his plan was simply genius.
Since the Sect Leader wanted to play the identity game, he would go along with it and strike from a direction unfamiliar to the Sect Leader.
Old Ascender is bound to be stubborn and unable to accept new things.
When the card game starts, he will surely lose terribly, covered in notes, but the Sect Leader cannot lose his temper as his identity is hidden.
Although there's a risk of provoking a tiger, Zhang Ze felt as long as he pretended to know nothing, everything could be explained away.
Kids just love to play, and those senior and junior brothers did it too.
The Sword Sect is a reputable sect and cannot kill anyone over this trivial matter.
"Old Ascender, you're set to lose this with no complaints," Zhang Ze chuckled inwardly, sneaking a glance at Zhong Hui.
It's him, Old Ascender is disguised as Zhong Hui.
After all the checks along the way, Zhang Ze had concluded that Old Ascender was Zhong Hui, and Zhong Hui was Old Ascender.
