"Hidden your true abilities? Master Feng, you must be joking. Does Master Su need to hide her abilities? Hehe, as long as her strength is passable, that's enough. Master Su has always only bothered with appearances," one sect master mocked.
"That's right. Once you've polished your face smooth, if Young Master Tianzun is happy, who cares who comes? Won't the Void Heaven Sword just cut them down?" another sect master said bluntly.
"Tut tut tut, the old temple master was the old temple master after all. If she hadn't left so early, would she have ended up in such a sorry state today?" Another showed little restraint either. The three of them whispered their spiteful remarks, showing Su Tian not the slightest bit of respect. This was close to what I had calculated.
The reasoning was simple. Su Tian's insistence on killing the White Jade Abyss Water Dragon had long since angered several sects. She was clearly cutting off their livelihoods—and all at once, she had cut off four families' livelihoods. How could any of them be happy? If Su Tian hadn't been betrothed to the young master of the Great Immortal Sect, they probably would have gone even further.
Su Tian was naturally so furious that tears brimmed in her eyes. She snapped, "What have you got against my master? What have you done to her? Do you even deserve to mention her?!"
"Hehe, Master Su, you're taking this too seriously. The old temple master had a deep friendship with us back then. We were merely reminiscing. We never spoke ill of her. Your way of doing things is unconventional, and you're worlds apart from the old temple master. We wouldn't dare say a single bad word, much less do anything to wrong her. Master Su, please don't misunderstand."
