They believed they would eventually surpass Shen Han, but not now...
The faces of several direct disciples turned unsightly, as the Vice Sect Leader’s words clearly mocked them.
Hearing this, the Wen Family Elder also frowned deeply.
"Vice Sect Leader, these words are far too biased towards Shen Han.
You don’t believe that the future of Five Immortals City rests on disciples like him, do you?
Driving Tang Chenyang away already significantly harmed Five Immortals City.
Your actions seem to be pushing other direct disciples away as well..."
These words were already rather blunt.
"Elder Wen, are you implying a threat to this old man?
If a direct disciple wants to leave, must I, the Vice Sect Leader, compromise with him?
Five Immortals City has stood for ten thousand years on the Southern Heaven Continent; it has not survived by compromising."
As he finished speaking, the Vice Sect Leader even let out a cold snort.
This firm stance left the Wen Family Elders momentarily stunned.
Beside them, Wen Ranran couldn’t hold back: "Vice Sect Leader, what kind of skills does this Shen Han have to deserve such favoritism from you..."
The Vice Sect Leader paid no attention to her words.
His status did not warrant giving Wen Ranran a chance to speak at such a scene.
"Vice Sect Leader, if this is how you intend to proceed, we as the elders really find it difficult to appease the disciples’ grievances, their constant complaints.
If they truly all follow Tang Chenyang’s example, it’ll be our Five Immortals City that suffers..."
Before the Vice Sect Leader could respond to the Wen Family Elder’s words, Elder Sizhi stood up.
"Elder Wen, in fact, Tang Chenyang was driven away by Dean Sixin and myself.
We simply didn’t want to embarrass him and thus didn’t expose him.
A lazy temperament and a restless heart."
"Even if such a disciple unlocks seven restraints, we still don’t want them."
At these words, not only Elder Wen but also the other direct disciples were shocked.
However, as Elder Sizhi spoke, two figures rushed in at this moment.
Behind them, two attendants followed closely in pursuit.
"Vice Sect Leader, they just burst in without us stopping them..."
The two attendants looked a bit flustered.
But the Vice Sect Leader waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
"This is an Honored Guest Elder from Qianjin Hall, it’s normal that you couldn’t stop them.
Go down first, and serve Elder Ding from Qianjin Hall a cup of tea.
Elder Ding, please sit wherever you like."
The Vice Sect Leader of Five Immortals City remained calm.
Throughout the entire process, he did not say a word about Tang Chenyang beside him.
Normally, this kind of abrupt intrusion would be very disrespectful.
But today, the Vice Sect Leader allowed them to watch.
"Elder Ding, is there anything else you wish to discuss with us today?"
At these words, Elder Ding from Qianjin Hall snorted softly.
"Actually, it’s nothing considerable; I came today because I felt Five Immortals City may not be adept at nurturing outstanding young disciples.
I was originally on my way back to the sect, but then I heard some Five Immortals City disciples expressing grievances.
So I turned back to take a look.
If possible, if Five Immortals City can’t accommodate them, our Qianjin Hall can."
After Elder Ding finished speaking, Tang Chenyang also chuckled and took two steps towards Qianmu Fan.
"Brother Qianmu, among our peers, I hold you in high regard.
In terms of talent and potential, how many in Five Immortals City can match us?
But the treatment we receive falls far short of our talents.
If it were possible..."
As Tang Chenyang spoke, Wen Ranran directly blocked Qianmu Fan.
"Although Junior Brother Qianmu is troubled, he has no interest in changing sects, so save your effort."
After saying this, Wen Ranran also turned around to look at the Vice Sect Leader.
