Li Su was dragged away, quickly arriving before Eight Views Palace.
Quite a few people had already gathered there, most of them Human Sect disciples. The Third Senior Brother whom he had met once on Discourse Mountain, as well as Fifth Senior Brother Dan Tiancheng, whom he had met once within the Path to Heaven, were already present.
At the sight of Xia Xia, many disciples could not help revealing lingering fear in their eyes, even though they knew full well that she posed no danger.
Disciples of great sects were generally nurtured from childhood. Though some entered from outside due to exceptional talent, they were usually talents from subordinate sects, still raised from a young age.
Those who joined halfway through had virtually no chance of integrating into the inner circle. After all, one could know a person's face but not their heart.
Li Su had joined halfway through as well, but his circumstances were somewhat different. He had inherited the dao lineage of the Supreme Pure Saint.
And as for saint-level cultivation techniques, forget questions of comprehension—there were usually locks upon them.
Those with ulterior motives could never obtain the true transmission. No, more accurately, not being killed outright already meant the saint had a good temper.
Thus, there was no issue with his original heart.
With his original heart in order, and cultivating Greater Purity Yin-Yang Qi besides, he was naturally close to the Human Sect disciples in their eyes.
Therefore, when they saw Li Su, quite a few disciples smiled and nodded at him in goodwill.
Yes, they had always maintained their usual enthusiasm toward Li Su!
Xia Xia, however, was somewhat different. In a sense, she was the nightmare of most Human Sect disciples—the shadow of their childhood, the wolfish grandmother in a child's mind.
