Recognize the situation.
This is the label given to Miao Yingjie by Qin Fan.
He can become devoid of humanity for the sake of profit, and can become utterly unprincipled, losing his dignity out of fear of death.
This is the label given to Miao Yingjie by the Gu Clan members behind his back.
Yet, even though the members of the Gu Clan do not approve of him, no one dares to challenge him openly, and certainly no one dares to defy his orders.
Previously, there were elders plotting rebellion against him for patricide, grand patricide, and recognizing a thief as their master, but unbeknownst to them, he got wind of the plan. He later set up a feast of deception and, without anyone noticing, drugged those elders planning the rebellion, finally letting his man-eating Gu worm devour the souls of several elders alive.
From then on, Miao Yingjie's inhumane perversion completely intimidated the Gu Clan members.
