The patriarch Xin Deshi was a man who was known for his warm heart. Unlike many patriarchs his duties hadn't gone to his head and he hadn't changed. He was just like a grandpa to so many people. That is why his sect was one of the rare sects where a very little amount of disciples left. Most of them had no reasons to.
He wasn't soft though. The disciples knew he didn't joke around with training. He never did, it was a serious matter to him. The patriarch was only soft on the newcomers, but that usually didn't last long. However Jian could see it, this was the best type of patriarch one could ever dream of, not that Giran was a bad patriarch. It's just that he was more of an army leader than an actual patriarch. He lacked the feeling of a teacher and seemed more like a general who would kill you if you stepped out of line.
