The vessel was practically falling apart. There was really no need to continue that kind of dangerous "academic discussion."
Tai Yu and Kui Rong indeed stopped conversing in Ritual Ancient Script. They stood side by side by the Scenery Viewing Screen, looking at the scenery outside the Boundary.
Priest Kannan, who had just broken up their fight, silently moved aside. He was not far away, but clearly had no intention of involving himself.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal. Even so, the people gathered in the lounge after the work meeting suddenly thinned out considerably. Though the vessel did not need that many operators, everyone still tried to stay as far from dangerous individuals as possible.
Within minutes, the "idle bystanders" had almost all disappeared... Mainly the police personnel, in fact. The task force was led by Star Ring City Police Headquarters, and aside from the Celestial powerhouses, most of the staff had been assigned by the police.
Celestial powerhouses such as Gong Zhicheng and Si Nuowan, confident in their status, did not need to hide. They remained near the Scenery Viewing Screen, watching coldly.
Meanwhile, the Acolyte Priests of the Myriad Gods Hall system had closer master-disciple ties among themselves than the police had through work. Their own teachers were still present, so even though their scalps tingled and their nerves were stretched taut, they could not very well leave. They merely kept as far from Tai Yu as they could.

As a fellow Acolyte Priest, Yuan Ju was doing all right. He obediently stayed by Priest Yan
