Although Gottingen Zhai had already been entrusted to He Wai'er, the foremost disciple of the Master of Mathematics and a cultivator of the School of Separation, the Gottingen Sect remained the orthodox School of Separation and the direct line of the Master of Mathematics. That would never be easily changed because of He Wai'er or anyone else.

Perhaps a century from now, Gottingen Zhai would ultimately become something else. But He Wai'er alone could never turn this stone around.

The Gottingen Sect's core cultivators had already fought until their eyes were bloodshot.
