"Why would he rob the grain shipment? As Moving Wood Palace's Ninth Elder, he shouldn't be short of silver," Zhuang Qiyang asked in bewilderment.
"I don't know. You'll have to ask him." Apothecary Yun shook his head.
"That's not right. You're an Inner Sect Elder too. Even if he's the Ninth Elder, he can't be much stronger than you. Why did you have to obey him?" Tang Wen asked.
"Yes, a Council of Elders generally consists of seven elders. Even the Ninth Elder isn't qualified to join Moving Wood Palace's Council of Elders. He really can't be much stronger than you. Why obey him?" Taken aback, Zhuang Qiyang glanced at Tang Wen.
"He's stronger than me, and he oversees the Mountain Guard Hall. My whole family lives on the mountain. How could I dare disobey him?" Apothecary Yun hurriedly said.
However, Tang Wen noticed that the fellow's Popularity Little Figure was chattering away.
Moreover, another shadow had actually formed within his Popularity. It definitely wasn't Ding Kui, but someone else.
"You're not being honest," Tang Wen said.
"I am! I really am!" Apothecary Yun hurriedly cried.
"There must be another reason. Are you afraid of the backer behind Ding Kui?" Tang Wen asked.
"What backer does he have?" Apothecary Yun hastily shook his head.
"It's the Second Elder!" Tang Wen suddenly thundered with his Lion's Roar.
"No!" Apothecary Yun blurted.
Only when he saw everyone staring at him did Apothecary Yun realize what he had done. His head immediately drooped.
"If it isn't the Second Elder, who is it? Talk. Tell us properly. Otherwise, your whole family will go to hell." Zhuang Qiyang was startled too, and glanced at Tang Wen again before asking.
"The Third Elder, Sun Long. Sun Long has always protected him. How could I dare resist?"
