The brief gathering ended on a sour note.
Mei Wangsu left with a flick of his sleeve. Elder Jing Ji, who was with him, quietly scolded Lin Buyan before leaving, speaking of brotherhood within the sect, the conflicts of the previous generation, reconciliations, the Imperial Sect's wolfish ambitions, and negotiating with a tiger for its skin…
Each word was sincere advise.
Lin Buyan was greatly moved by this. A trace of shame appeared on his face. He said he had benefited greatly from this advice and that he had been too narrow-minded. He would close his doors and reflect upon this after the conference ended.
Jing Ji left with a hearty laugh after they were done going through the Tai Chi motions. Lin Buyan watched as his figure disappeared, with a modest expression on his face, but a lingering intent in his eyes.
This wasn't the first time the Heavenly Sword Sect had taken a jab at him, nor would it be the last.
