"What was there to explain?!"
Cen Feng lazily moved his fingers, the star bead rolling smoothly between them as he spoke casually. "Fang Mo bears ten Ancient Desolate Beast souls and cultivates the Savage Body Refinement Art, granting him the innate gifts of all kinds of desolate beasts. Those gifts are exceptionally suppressive against exotic beasts. Isn't it perfectly normal for them to target him?"
True Lord Yunhe's eyes flickered at those words. As expected, Cen Feng had come prepared and had blocked off every avenue of argument.
"That is true."
Yunhe smiled faintly and did not pursue the matter further. After considering it for a moment, he continued, "However, I still think it is necessary to speak with Fang Mo and see how he defeated an exotic beast at the peak of the Heaven-Reaching Realm. What method did he use?"
The star bead at True Lord Cen Feng's fingertips stopped. He slightly raised his eyes and said blandly, "What method he used is not important. What matters is that he could defeat an exotic beast. Senior Brother Yunhe, would you tell the sect every one of your methods? Besides, has the Tianli Sect ever interfered with its disciples' fortuitous encounters?"
Yunhe frowned slightly and looked toward True Lord Hanli, seeking her agreement.
True Lord Hanli said coolly, "Cen Feng is right. Fang Mo must have his own unique qualities to achieve what he has today. When the sect nurtures its disciples, it should grant them a certain degree of freedom and space. Excessive questioning will only breed resentment in their hearts."
Yunhe understood that all his questions had been for nothing. The sect had indeed never inquired into its disciples' fortuitous encounters. It was a form of trust and respect toward them.
"Forget it. Let this matter rest!" He
