"....."
The handso elder was silent for a mont after hearing this, and said:
"I’m sorry."
Jin Pingyue smiled faintly and waved his hand:
"Uncle Liu, are you still feeling guilty about what happened back then?"
"..." The handso elder.
"The destruction of Burial Village was orchestrated by the Pri Minister, and the death of Mo was also due to Xu Changtian’s sches. The influence of the Pri Minister’s Mansion is overwhelming, and you couldn’t intervene due to your position. I understand, Yue’er."
"It was because of Ran Jianli...."
The handso elder took a deep breath and sighed: "He continually appeased the Imperial Court, otherwise the Pri Minister’s intention to destroy Burial Village could have been stopped back then."
At this point, the handso elder suddenly smiled:
"However, things are different now. The court’s sword has been fully drawn, and our Sect Alliance cannot sit idly by. Young girl, your revenge will soon be avenged."
"..."
Upon hearing this, a certain complexity flickered in Jin Pingyue’s eyes, then suddenly she asked:
"Uncle Liu, when I arrived, I heard that your Sword Sect’s first disciple is involved with Xu Changtian?"
Speaking of this,
a shadow imdiately flashed in the handso elder’s eyes:
"This matter was just discussed at the Elders Council, and Qingmo’s identity and stance have made our Sword Sect extrely passive."
Jin Pingyue raised her delicate eyebrows slightly:
"Because of those Hidden Sects?"
The handso elder pointed to the stairs leading up the mountain, and as he walked upward, he said:
"Yes, the Sword Sect was the leader of the Sect Alliance. For the Sect Master and the first disciple to do such a thing, many sects are questioning our stance. If it were in the past, these sects had no choice but to follow our Sword Sect’s lead, but now the Sect Alliance has an additional Jiatiange. If not for the Sect Master going missing during the Northern Hunt, our entire Sword Sect would likely be questioned as well."
Jin Pingyue slowly followed, walking among the red leaves of the mountain, sighing with a tone of lancholy:
"Xu Changtian has too high a status, and he personally presented the tax law. It’s not surprising that other sects would use this as a pretext to cause trouble. Uncle Liu, do you have any solutions?"
This question made the handso elder quiet for a mont.
After walking dozens of feet, he finally spoke slowly:
"There are two."
"Can you tell ?"
"Nothing more than proactively clarifying and throwing dirt."
"What do you an?"
"The Sect Leader’s wife just said at the Elders Council that the Saintess of Jiatiange is also involved with Xu Changtian."
"..."
"..."
The forest was silent.
After a while,
"What?"
"You heard correctly, Luo Wei has already spread the word to let us turn the tables and make the first move at the Tianyuan Conference."
The handso elder seed a bit helpless: "The credibility of this matter isn’t low. The activities of the Jiatiange Saintess basically match Xu Changtian’s, and besides... during the Western Desert incident, many people saw the Jiatiange Saintess protecting Xu Changtian."
Jin Pingyue’s slender eyes twitched.
The heirs of the two major sects of the Sect Alliance are both involved with the legitimate son of the Pri Minister’s Mansion.
Who should lead the charge in this war?
It is said that during the Zhenxi incident, a Saint from the Hidden Sects also appeared, capable of orchestrating the subversion of Zhenxi Prefecture, yet does her influence really inspire trust in anyone?
Tianyuan Sword Sect and Jiatiange, one is the maintainer of the current sect order, the other has overshadowed the Human Race for countless years. Their reputation and credibility are unmatched by any other sect.
Feeling slightly confused, Jin Pingyue hesitantly voiced a question:
"So... has Jiatiange responded?"
The handso elder paused slightly in his steps:
"That’s what I’m concerned about. Jiatiange has already made its stance clear yesterday. They will send the Saintess to attend in person, and then all rumors will be brought to light."
Jin Pingyue was baffled by the elder’s words, hesitantly asking:
"But Uncle Liu, didn’t you just say the relationship between the Saintess and Xu Changtian has already been confird?"
The handso elder sighed:
"Yue’er, the Yantian Art can completely remove a person’s seven emotions and six desires."
Jin Pingyue questioned: "I’ve heard of this, but it can’t change what she’s done in the past....."
"That’s not how things are calculated."
The handso elder interrupted Jin Pingyue, sighing: "Ordinary people know to choose the lesser of two evils. The Saintess can be emotionless because of her cultivation technique. She only needs a proper opportunity to cleanse herself of the mud. Can Ran Qingmo do it? It’s impossible. That girl is too innocent; a few words from Xu Changtian can spin her around. But now Luo Wei is the Acting Sect Master, she wholeheartedly protects Ran Qingmo, and we elders can’t overrule the rules."
Jin Pingyue frowned and asked: "So the Sword Sect should be swayed by her emotional entanglents?"
The handso elder was silent for a while, then looked up towards the mountain’s peak, whispering:
"Naturally not, but the rules cannot be broken either. Now many Peak Masters and Elders have reached their limit of patience. If Luo Wei insists on this, her ti as Acting Sect Master will be over."
On this note,
the handso elder glanced at the young woman, saying solemnly:
"But you shouldn’t be too hostile towards Ran Qingmo either. You two are the future of the sect. The girl inherently cares deeply for the Sword Sect, but the Sect Master and Luo Wei have protected her too well, so well that she does not concern herself with worldly matters.
"As long as she understands that national and family enmity leave no room for personal affection, she can live up to the na of the Sword Sect’s first disciple!"
