It is said that Five Immortals City is cold and lacking in loyalty.
With Nalan Xing’s words, the tone of today’s gathering was essentially set.
Sect Leader Nalan Xing does not approve of the decision made by the Vice Sect Leader!
"Have all the people who should be here arrived?"
Turning his head, Sect Leader Nalan Xing glanced at everyone.
He also glanced at the Vice Sect Leader.
None of the people present made a sound in response.
Just as the words fell, a figure with a touch of age walked into the pavilion.
"I’ve heard of the Sect Leader’s return and came to pay my respects."
The voice came out, and everyone looked at him, then at the Vice Sect Leader.
Elder Shen, the Supreme Elder of Five Immortals City.
He is a generation higher than the Sect Leader.
Although he doesn’t have real power in his hands, Elder Shen’s seniority is undeniable.
Besides, there’s another issue, Elder Shen is the uncle of the Vice Sect Leader.
The Vice Sect Leader’s name is Shen Xiang.
At this moment, Elder Shen’s appearance clearly showed he was here to support his nephew.
As Sect Leader, Nalan Xing did not agree, so who else would dare to speak up?
But this Supreme Elder, Elder Shen, dared to do so.
As the senior elder of the Sect Leader, he dared to act this way.
Later, when accusations arise, Elder Shen would step in to clear things up, solving many issues.
As the Sect Leader, how could Nalan Xing not see this?
But his face still remained composed.
"Elder Shen, you are too kind. If we juniors have done anything inappropriate, please guide us."
"You are the Sect Leader; I am almost in my grave, what can I teach you?
Just here to listen, listen to what you young ones are planning to say."
Nalan Xing nodded, agreeing straightforwardly to Elder Shen’s words.
He couldn’t be bothered to decline anything.
Once the words were said, the pavilion fell into a short silence again.
After a moment, Nalan Xing spoke first, "I heard Sixin and Si Zhi have already left Five Immortals City."
Starting with Sixin and Si Zhi, the intention to criticize was obvious.
"Back then, when they first arrived at Five Immortals City, they were quite desolate.
Now they’ve grown, but who would’ve thought they would be so ungrateful."
Before anyone else could speak, Elder Shen indeed took the lead to speak.
Sixin and Si Zhi were forced out by the Vice Sect Leader.
Discussing these things any further would be a slap in the face to Vice Sect Leader Shen Xiang.
Hearing these words, the Sect Leader turned his head to look at Elder Shen.
Pausing, he then looked towards the Vice Sect Leader.
"Vice Sect Leader, in your opinion, was Sixin and Si Zhi’s departure also a sign of ingratitude?"
Nalan Xing’s tone was still bland.
The questioned Vice Sect Leader Shen Xiang’s face turned somewhat unsightly.
His face wasn’t as thick as Elder Shen’s; although he knew how to argue back, he just couldn’t bring himself to speak.
In fact, Vice Sect Leader Shen Xiang somewhat regretted it too.
Especially regarding Sixin and Si Zhi’s departure.
"Sect Leader, Sixin and Si Zhi have long since left our Five Immortals City.
Discussing them now, what’s the point?
Are we supposed to blame our own for two outsiders?"
Elder Shen spoke in a weary tone.
In the pavilion, the eyes of the gathered Elders looked toward the Sect Leader, seeking his views.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Xing did not refute.
Instead, he turned his gaze back towards the Vice Sect Leader.
