Chapter 141: Fierce Battle
Inside the Internal Affairs Hall, the discussion among several elders quieted down due to the voice that echoed throughout the mountain gate.
Sang Yanping's face, usually as calm as ancient well water, showed little emotion. He merely said indifferently to those around him, "Since they've come, we must meet them. Let's go, let's go outside and see."
With Sang Yanping leading, several elders following behind, they came to the mountain gate.
Outside the mountain gate, it was already packed with people. At the end of the path that the Five Terraces Sect disciples had spontaneously cleared, three figures stood remarkably.
Sang Yanping's gaze first fell on the gray-robed elder, and he squeezed out a hint of a smile on his face. Cupping his hands, he said, "So it's Elder Mo who has personally arrived. How remiss of us not to welcome you properly. You've come from afar as our guest, why not come inside for a cup of tea?"
Mo Yun's gaze was peaceful yet deep. He also cupped his hands in return, his voice low yet clear, "Elder Sang is too polite. This old one has come only to escort, not to interfere in other matters. There's no need for tea, lest it disturb the young people's enthusiasm."
Sang Yanping understood in his heart that this was stating Hanyu Valley's elder generation's position: only observe the battle, do not interfere.
He nodded slightly, turning his gaze to the main person, Xiao Bieli.
Xiao Bieli stepped forward and clasped his fists in salute to Sang Yanping and the other elders.
