I looked up at Bai Ye, hoping that no one could see the overwhelming emotions in my eyes.
The Gatekeeper was the founder and sole leader of Mount Hua. In a way, even though there were written disciplines for us to follow, his words still meant the rule, and very few dared challenge him. I heard that only Bai Ye and Xie Lun's master, who had cultivated together with the Gatekeeper before they became immortals, had ever said no to him.
Fortunately for us, the Gatekeeper wasn't a tyrant. He was reasonable and impartial most of the time, and he had kept Mount Hua in good order for almost five hundred years. But when things came to his only daughter Chu Xi, he was no saint. His overindulgence probably played a big part in Chu Xi's haughty, unscrupulous personality.
