Chapter 1417: Bullying Good People
Zhang Yuelu was not necessarily afraid of these people’s verbal attacks. After all, they were not professionals at this sort of thing. The real professionals were controlled by the Three Sects, handling the Qingping Publishing House and official bulletins. These people essentially relied on their own influence to spread information, inheriting the methods of ancient scholars.Their main work lay in academic development and research. Many truly had real talent, though quite a few were merely filling space. Many Daoists who failed to make it in other paths would often switch tracks and adopt the title of instructor and mix among genuine instructors, making them difficult to distinguish.
Qi Xuansu saw it clearly. When Zhang Yuelu was alone, she was fearless. But once she had a weakness, she became somewhat at a loss. In the end, she did not want to involve Little Yin, so she chose to withdraw.
As Madam Qi had said, middle-aged men with families were the easiest to control. On the contrary, unattached men with no burdens were difficult to handle. They could drop everything at any moment and might even strike back if pushed too far.
Qi Xuansu used to be such a person, and back then, he had a somewhat reckless attitude toward life and death.
Of course, Qi Xuansu was no longer like that. But such a short time was not enough to completely change his nature. He still intended to confront the matter head-on and demand an explanation.
When others accused him of having low morals, he would truly abandon morality.
People always liked to find flaws in good people.
However, Qi Xuansu could not directly approach Great Sage Shi. It would be overly presumptuous and risk offending him, making matters worse. So Qi Xuansu went to Old Sage Sun Hewu. Their status was comparable, giving room for negotiation.
Qi Xuansu respected the Old Sage greatly and would not truly fall out with him.
