Vice Sect Leader Ji Hantian also appeared, personally leading Gu An and Ye Qingxue to the Deliberation Hall.
In the end, Gu An sat in the seat of honor, Ye Qingxue stood at his side, and the other elders all remained standing. Seeing Gu An with his eyes closed, they could not help sending sound transmissions to question one another.
Because they were all using the Sound Transmission Technique, the Deliberation Hall fell silent. Ye Qingxue was terribly nervous, her whole body drawn tight.
At this moment, she was also worried that the matter had blown up too much.
It couldn't be that because of her and her disciple, the Taixuan Sect would fall apart, could it?
She could not bear consequences like that.
The Qin Family had merely taken a fancy to her disciple's natural talent; they had not meant to harm her disciple. If she had not gone to Gu An, her disciple would only have lost her freedom.
But if the Taixuan Sect lost Gu An, that would affect everyone in the Taixuan Sect.
Ye Qingxue began to blame herself, feeling that she should have explained things clearly before coming.
She looked at Gu An, wanting to speak yet stopping herself.
Little did she know that what she had learned was not the truth. What the Qin Family wanted was not her disciple as a person, but her disciple's life.
Time continued to pass.
More and more elders arrived. Some of them saw Ye Qingxue, and their expressions changed drastically at once; clearly, they had already guessed the reason.
Lu Baitian also came.
He had the best relationship with Gu An, so he mustered his courage and stepped forward to ask Gu An why he had come.
"Nothing much. I wanted to bid everyone farewell."
