An awkward smile could be seen on Elder Sima's face as he looked at the other elders who were staring daggers at him.
"Ahahah! It was just a joke, just a little joke!" Elder Sima hurriedly said.
"Humph! This is no time to be joking." Elder Giza said.
"Sorry!" Elder Sima said before standing up.
His expression quickly changed though, once he was a bit away from them.
'You guys would be the same if you got the opportunity. Humph! You're just regretting I was faster.' Elder Sima thought.
If his plan worked and Tian Han ended up going along with it, Elder Sima would end up becoming the second highest person in the sect, as Tian Han would be the contender for the sect patriarchs position.
He would pretty much be pushing down elder Qianshu. It was a simple but usable ploy and if it weren't for the fact than Tian Han was still conscious and responded, he might have gotten away with it too.
