Logically, Yu Yanzhi's actions were correct, and her reasons were very formal, but that Young Master Xiao Yu truly made people uncomfortable, especially since her strength had skyrocketed in such a short time. No one believed she hadn't obtained high-level techniques from the Painting Realm, but the existence of that realm... was a taboo within Tiance Pavilion that could not be mentioned.
"The Painting Realm..." An elder tried to bring up the topic but had his sleeve tugged, and realizing what was happening, he tightened his face, subtly scanned the others, and ultimately fell silent.
In the silence, someone said in a hushed voice, "It wouldn't have mattered if we didn't kill her then, but now we must. Young Master Xiao Yu seems to be cunning, ruthless, and full of schemes. If by some chance she holds a grudge against us... Gentlemen, if she could leverage Lin Xiang's influence, the time will come when we will be the ones to suffer."
