"Senior Brother!"
"Mhm!"
Several people stood silently within the Supreme Purity Hall.
The sect master and the masters of every peak were all present, and the atmosphere was somewhat grave.
Naturally, everyone seated here had a grasp of the mood within the sect.
They knew about Li Su. Dissatisfaction ran deep among the sect's middle and lower ranks. Jealousy was human nature—an ordinary child from the mortal world had suddenly been elevated to become their martial uncle, their martial granduncle, placed directly above their heads. Who could stomach that?
Su Can, as sect master, had never considered stepping in to suppress such sentiments. The more they were suppressed, the deeper they would grow.
In truth, breaking this deadlock would not have been difficult. As long as that little junior brother displayed enough talent, everyone would naturally shut their mouths.

They had originally planned to deal with the matters at hand before going over, but now that things had blown up like this, the problem was undoubtedly a serious one.
They could only hope that little junior brother would accept it calmly. Otherwise, this matter would be truly thorny and might very well become a demonic obstruction.
If it truly came to that, the sect master over at Dragon Tiger Mountain was on good terms with him. They could send the boy there and let him change environments.
