"Ti'er is young, and her martial strength isn't enough to keep you all in line..."
"So you made her into a heartless, faithless person who doesn't even dare take responsibility after implicating others?"
"How will the people of the world view our Canggu Saintess? Hahaha... as a selfish petty person who doesn't dare bear responsibility?"
"To save your lives, she chose to become a petty person. She chose to become one!"
"And you're still standing here, making such well-reasoned arguments. You give up at the slightest hardship—do you deserve to call yourselves disciples of Ancient Sacred Peak?"
Cang Lin let out another bitter laugh, full of frustration at the disappointing Canggu disciples.
At the same time, he ached for Tie Ti'er...
One could imagine how lost she must have been when she had chosen to abandon the people of Yao Residence.
Opposite them, most of the Canggu disciples finally came to their senses completely. What they had done would make the Saintess bear a vile reputation, and in a sense, the Saintess represented the entire Ancient Sacred Peak.
They had selfishly ensured that there would be no casualties among themselves, yet forgotten that Ancient Sacred Peak had its bottom line.
Finally... thud!
Those who had lowered their heads first earlier nearly all dropped to their knees at the same time, kneeling in Tie Ti'er's direction.
Then almost everyone knelt. Only Zheng Ku remained stubbornly standing there, shrieking, "I still refuse to accept this! We were trying to protect the Saintess's life too. What did we do wrong?"
But Cang Lin could not be bothered with him. The others were still teachable, but Zheng Ku no longer needed teaching.
People like him were traitorous to the bone wherever they went.
For his own selfish desires, he would abandon the greater righteousness
