Another disciple stood up and said, “Elder Master, you are being ‘partial’, I cannot accept this!”
Elder Master Xun glanced at him lightly and said, “And then?”
“I…” The disciple hesitated and then with some pride said, “My great-grandfather is the Chief Elder of the Taixu Gate. I will report everything to him, informing him that you act unjustly, are partial and corrupt, misuse your authority, and disregard the rules…”
Elder Master Xun’s expression subtly changed, and he nodded slightly:
“Fine, go back and tell him, and have your Chief Elder great-grandfather come see me tomorrow. We need to have a chat about what ‘rules’ are…”
The disciple faltered, then his mind started to doubt.
This Elder Master Xun, why isn’t he afraid at all…
Is he truly fearless, or is it a pretense, or is his seniority so extensive that even the great-grandfather dares not act against him?
It’s a pity, the great-grandfather never mentioned this Elder Master Xun before.
He also doesn’t know exactly what status Elder Master Xun holds within the Sect.
But he isn’t foolish, from the tone of Elder Master Xun, it’s obvious he doesn’t put his great-grandfather in his eyes, what if his real status is extremely high…
The disciple felt somewhat trembling inside.
I won’t… cause trouble for my great-grandfather, will I…
My great-grandfather won’t punish me, will he…
The disciple lost his confidence and sat down obediently.
The other disciples also started to notice something amiss.
This usually meticulous Elder Master Xun, who only focused on teaching, might hold a far more esteemed status than they had thought.
Everyone dared not speak anymore.
Elder Master Xun looked solemn, but internally, he sighed silently.
If it were a normal day, he would have taken his time and carefully handled it.
But now with the Heavenly secret being obscure, the situation is special, and a quick decision is necessary.
Even if he has to forcefully promote, he must elevate Mo Hua to be the Junior Brother of the Taixu Gate.
This matter concerns the fate of the Taixu Gate.
There is no time to delay, and no room for doubt!
Such a major issue related to the Heavenly secret, any hesitation, and the consequences will reverse.
Therefore, once even a trace of the Heavenly secret is glimpsed, even if it means making a unilateral decision, there can be no hesitation!
Elder Master Xun surveyed the disciples sitting below.
The group of disciples had various expressions; though silent, they were clearly not ‘convinced’.
Whether they are ‘convinced’ or not doesn’t matter, but at least they must first be ‘verbally compliant’!
Elder Master Xun then said in a commanding tone:
“This matter is settled thus, you all first call him ‘Junior Brother’.”
They were clearly reluctant, but under the pressure from Elder Master Xun, they had no choice but to comply.
Thus, all of this generation’s Heavenly Pride of the Taixu Gate, except for a small number of disciples familiar with Mo Hua, most unwillingly and in a subdued voice, called out to the slightly younger Mo Hua:
“Junior Brother.”
