The second elder spoke solemnly. "After Tang Hao brought disaster upon us back then, he vanished for over a decade without so much as an admission of fault or an apology. If we rashly welcome him and his son back into the sect, how could the clansmen who suffered because of him, some even losing their closest kin, accept it? This concerns the sect's unity. We cannot afford to be careless."
He paused before continuing, "Besides, since Yuehua hasn't returned in person, the situation must still be under control. With Tang Hao secretly protecting him, Tang San should be safe for now. If matters truly reach a critical point, we can act then."
Tang Xiao fell silent for a moment. He had to admit that the second elder had a point.
