Hearing Chen Changan's words, the Heavenly Profound Sect's sect master could only smile wryly.
This time, he had originally wanted to use the mission to test Chen Changan and the others' character. But now that they had been tested, the result of that test left him in a difficult position.
To say that Chen Changan and the others had poor character? That did not seem quite appropriate either. At most, they were somewhat too bloodthirsty.
But for cultivators, fighting and killing were commonplace. Besides, the other side had provoked them and tried to rob them first, so killing them in return was hardly unjustified.
Still, such a way of doing things did tend to invite trouble. But for people as gifted as Chen Changan and the others, was it possible to demand that they have no personalities of their own?
Most importantly, Chen Changan was too damn candid, and free-spirited enough that even the Heavenly Profound Sect's sect master did not know what to say.
"Don't misunderstand. I don't mean anything else by it."
"This mission did indeed carry the intention of testing you. Your talents are monstrous, but I do not know what your character is like, and I did not dare take the risk."
"You should understand that talent is one matter, while character is another. No matter how outstanding one's talent is, if one's character does not pass muster, then the Heavenly Profound Sect would merely be raising a tiger to invite calamity."
"As the sect master of the Heavenly Profound Sect, I naturally have to consider such things."
Hearing the Heavenly Profound Sect's sect master, Da Huang sneered disdainfully. "There are many ways to test someone, yet you chose the worst possible one."
"Tell me, what kind of character can a mission like this possibly test?"
