Chu Huai Xu's expression revealed a hint of reverence when he heard this.
The reason was simple: he actually didn't possess such lofty awareness.
But unlike some people, he wouldn't go so far as to mock such individuals as idiots.
What was most interesting was that many of those who mocked them were often only mediocre in ability and understanding. They were, in fact, the weak who had been well protected.
If they hadn't been protected so well and had truly taken a few hard beatings, they wouldn't be able to spout such crap.
Chu Huai Xu deeply respected those who were willing to devote themselves for all living beings under Heaven.
Before transmigrating, he had actually been an ordinary person too—someone who had been protected.
So he hadn't been deliberately managing his expression in front of the Dao Sect higher-ups, putting on an act to win their favor.

"Because he is the leader of the righteous path." That was the main reason.
From Jiang Zhi's description, Chu Huai Xu could tell that this Fifth Senior Brother of his was probably the leader of Junzi Temple's generation.
If even the leader of the righteous path didn't look like an upright man, wouldn't everything be over?
