Although He Shutong is the master of a peak, she bears few elder duties, as she rarely conducts lectures or accepts disciples. After leaving the Sect for eight years and now returning, should her cultivation dissipate, many would certainly covet her position as First Elder, especially those twenty-three junior elders she had consistently surpassed.
He Shutong raised her cup for a sip without responding.
"What exactly happened in Chuyun City? Even Gu Yao met his demise there."
He Shutong shook her head, "Everything I know has already been conveyed to the Head Elder in the decree."
"Alas, we can only wait for them to investigate first…" The Head Elder gently stroked his beard, "Wangshu is indeed your only disciple, her life is of utmost importance. Henceforth, do not recklessly let her leave the Sect."
"This time, I brought back a young man, along with Lingruo of the Snake Race from East Japan Continent; I intend to take both as my personal disciples."
