Chapter 140
“Yu Pyo, that is enough. Sit down.”
The one who broke the silence was Yu Baek, the Sect Leader’s disciple.
Yu Pyo’s remarks had already ruined the atmosphere in the dining hall.
Though what he said had been highly disrespectful, it was true that many of Mount Hua’s disciples tended to look down on martial families like the Namgoong Clan.
Unlike sects whose martial legacies were passed down through a long and unbroken lineage, martial families were often criticized for lacking foundation and refinement in their arts.
Most martial families only began to gain recognition thanks to the achievements of a single exceptional martial artist. While that individual might be acknowledged, their descendants—or fellow clan members—rarely were.
So how enraged must they be, hearing that someone from Namgoong had supposedly called Mount Hua pathetic?
Still, we must not cause discord.
The Namgoong Clan’s visit to Mount Hua marked an unprecedented exchange between a martial family and a sect.
This gathering would surely attract the attention of martial families and sects throughout the Central Plains.
During this exchange, Mount Hua must not risk appearing narrow-minded or inhospitable.
Because it was the first of its kind, it was all the more crucial that Mount Hua’s breadth and magnanimity stood out.
