Those Inner Sect Elders held power over the Inner Sect, but they were not quite among the Yellow Martial Sect's highest ranks.
They did not yet have the full picture of Li Yun.
So when the Sect Master suddenly told them that the Inner Sect had gained a new disciple and that a large allotment of resources had been specially approved for him, the elders were understandably baffled.
They were even opposed to it.
After all, the Yellow Martial Sect was a sect, not a Lineage.
A sect's leaders had to manage all its disciples. If the sect was to endure, rules mattered.
Providing cultivation resources to a new Inner Sect Disciple was fair enough. But making an exception and granting him a huge allotment? That was another matter.
Worse, the Sect Master had delivered those resources himself.
If word got out, every disciple in the Yellow Martial Sect would be up in arms.
There was no chance they would accept it.
People did not resent having little; they resented others having more.
Everyone would be dissatisfied. Everyone would ask: why?
They were all Inner Sect Disciples. Why was this new disciple, Li Fenghua, special? Why did he deserve preferential treatment and extra resources from the sect?
More absurdly, this new Inner Sect Disciple seemed to be quite the oddball himself.
He had arrived without first paying his respects to the Sect Master or the Inner Sect Elders. Instead, his first question had been where the resources were.
Damn!
The boy has no sense of propriety at all!
Does this new Inner Sect Disciple, Li Fenghua, think it's only right that the Sect Master specially approve resources for him?
That alone left the Inner Sect Elders deeply displeased.
Their gazes toward Li Yun darkened.
Only Sect Master Zhao Gongnian's presence
