"Third Elder, there's no need for this, if not for your efforts to protect the Sect, how could such a situation arise? We simply pursued the wrong direction. In our view, without the Sect, there are no disciples. But in reality, without disciples, the Sect has no future. With the will of the Saint Ancestor Xi, she would rather die than submit, so from now on we should start with ourselves and remain true to our hearts."
"Do not let this matter weigh on your mind, Third Elder."
"Sect Master—"
"Third Elder, there's no need to say more, this matter has been settled."
Gu Yuxi interrupted the Third Elder's words.
Third Elder's eyes contained a complex expression, glistening with tears.
She had always been cold and unfeeling, but was she truly without emotion? It was merely in the face of formidable foes, that she was forced to choose between lesser evils.
Now, after changing the Sect's will and rules, she realized that accommodating wrongs was indeed a mistake.
