Copper Palm's Grand Theory
Of the few Purple Gold Ribbon Grand Scholars who remained, Linghua Grand Scholar was probably the only one still thinking about the bigger picture for the Underground World.
Shen Guang had been blinded by his personal lust for power. As for Copper Palm and Multi-pupil, from the moment they fell into Jiang Yue's hands, they were doomed to lose their backbone. It wasn't that they didn't want to secure benefits for the Underground World, but their wavering loyalties made it difficult for them to be as selfless as Linghua.
Of course, Linghua herself probably couldn't have imagined things would turn out this way.
Linghua Grand Scholar watched Copper Palm with a meaningful look. During the time Chief Grand Scholar Jiuxiu had governed, Copper Palm had kept a low profile, staying so inconspicuous that he'd seemed almost nonexistent.

Every word struck home. He never insulted anyone or even used profanity, yet he'd still managed to enrage Shen Guang so thoroughly that he'd stormed off, humiliated and furious.
Seeing Shen Guang leave with such a wounded look, Linghua could only shake her head. At a time like this, Shen Guang was still thinking about his personal ambitions. What good would it do, even if things went his way and he became the most powerful person in the Underground World?
What weight did that title carry now? Could he really make the Five Elements Academy leap to the top of the three academies and command the entire Underground World?
