After Dian Cang's arrival, [Xuelu General and Minister] Shen Qing was nowhere to be seen.
This is a formidable sect with nearly a hundred disciples from the main sect alone, and many subordinate sects have come along, making it a mighty crowd. Yet in the rain, they also appear silent, occupying a whole corner of the west side.
But standing at the forefront was Tingjiang Pavilion Master Tie Rusong. The sect leader, who was highly reputable in the West Territory, was absent, stirring suspicion and disappointment. Many were already aware of Xie Tingyu's death, and now, whether Shen Qing has met with misfortune or is too afraid to show up, both sparked even more anxiety.
"I thought Shen Qing would be more concerned about his face. Turns out he's indeed a hero," Wei Guang stood atop a tall building by the street, draped in a black cloak, with neatly trimmed sideburns and dark eyes. Fang Heng stood beside him.
"Inevitably, some reputation will be lost."
