"..."
Listening to everyone's discussion.
He Jiajun realized if he didn't clarify, the entire sect would be implicated by Meng Dexing.
Why did Master accept such a disciple?
He cleared his throat, and everyone around fell silent, eager to hear what this elder would say.
He Jiajun took a deep breath and said to Qi Zhentao:
"Zhentao, on behalf of the sect, I apologize to you. You've come a long way these years, truly not easy, and we completely disapprove of your Master's actions. I hope you won't be troubled by these things in the future... As for us, whether you acknowledge us or not, we won't blame you for anything."
His words garnered respectful looks from everyone.
It's said that Old He is an honest elder, and now it seems to be true.
Most people these days favor kin over truth, but He Jiajun apologizing to Qi Zhentao on behalf of the sect is unexpected. Put yourself in the same situation; would you have the face to say such words?
