Chapter 29.2: Inner Gates Selection Process
Late at night, two wardens got together in a small courtyard.
One said gloomily, “What should we do now? Looking at the situation, Jing… ahem… Laozu’s reputation within the inner gates has skyrocketed. If the modified energy gathering array really works, he’d win more supporters and make things even more difficult for us.”
The other person said, “Nowadays, the Noble faction dare not do anything, while the new measurements are most beneficial to the Civilian faction, so they won’t meddle in such affairs as well.”
“But Shizun has already indicated…”
“No other Zhenren dares to defy Laozu, so isn’t Shizun being too bold? If anything happens, we can’t afford the consequences!”
Gloomy-face became gloomier. “But what can be done? Both of us have come under his tutelage, if we disobey the teacher’s orders, we don’t have to wait for things to happen before we get into trouble. You can’t expose the master and destroy the relationship, can you?”
“Erk…” Of course he dared not. Besides, they do not have any evidence.
Gloomy-face continued, “What’s more, you are aware of Shizun’s situation too. His cultivation has been stagnant for many years and he has been searching for cultivation resources everywhere. Although the Primary faction gave him very few resources, it’s still better than nothing, so how can he bear to give it up?”
His companion said, “We can only leave our fates to the heavens then.”
