With Situ Yan's words, the expressions of Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing changed, and their hearts were filled with shock and astonishment.
The meaning behind the Master's words seemed to be taking away the rights of the Grand Elder!
If other Elders were allowed to interfere with the responsibilities of the Grand Elder, it would mean dividing the authority of the Grand Elder.
In this way, it wouldn't take long for the Grand Elder's power to be marginalized!
Just the thought of this made both of them feel incredulous.
The Grand Elder had been in Tian Gang Sect for so long and had never encountered such a situation. Why did the Master make such a decision now?
They couldn't understand. Could it be just because of the Grand Elder's disruptive behavior earlier?
Even so, it shouldn't be enough for the Master to make such a decision. Instinctively, they felt that there must be some problem, more than what they had just witnessed.
Baili Hongzhuang was also surprised when she heard Situ Yan's words. She didn't expect her grandfather to decisively strip the Grand Elder of his rights.
However, for her, this was also a good thing. With the Grand Elder's authority gone, she would undoubtedly have fewer troubles.
As long as the Grand Elder had no power, he would not be able to have any influence over her.
Emperor Beichen fully agreed with Situ Yan's idea. He had already had this idea before returning to Tian Gang Sect.
He had originally planned to gradually marginalize the Grand Elder's authority after his return, and once the Grand Elder was completely marginalized, dealing with him would be an easy task.
However, he needed his master's permission for this matter.
After all, the Grand Elder's identity in Tian Gang Sect was not simple.
However, he did not expect that even before he could voice this idea, his master had already made a decision directly.
Situ Yan's expression was calm as the wind. In a few days, he might not stay in the sect. He had to investigate the whereabouts of Mu Lingbing.
Only by rescuing Mu Lingbing and Lan Yunxiao as soon as possible could he feel at ease.
During his absence, he had to avoid anything that could harm Hongzhuang.
Clearly, the Grand Elder was the most uncertain factor in this regard.
"Master, what you're doing..." Gu Jingqing stared at Situ Yan in a daze. He really couldn't understand why the Master would make such a decision.
"The Grand Elder is now immersed in his personal emotions and acting unjustly," Situ Yan explained lightly. His decision was not entirely self-serving.
In fact, the Grand Elder had already lost his qualification to be the Grand Elder when he stubbornly confronted Hongzhuang.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingqing fell silent. He understood that the Master's words made sense.
Even in other sects, such behavior by the Grand Elder would be punished.
"Lord Qin, Lord Gu, since you're here, let me tell you some good news," Situ Yan said with a smile. He had known Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing for many years, and they were great friends.
Now that there was good news like this, he naturally wouldn't hide it.
With Situ Yan's words, Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing's eyes lit up, their gazes shifting between Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen. They had already had some speculation in their hearts.
It seemed that the Young Master was going to have a wedding with Baili Hongzhuang. Tian Gang Sect was going to celebrate!
