"The Daoist chose to confess everything, not out of betrayal, but because he was deceived by your Sect Elders. Now, he's as ragged as a beggar, self-talking like a lunatic, living in regret."
Logan gave a heavy sigh and continued to explain. The Daoist wanted to save Lowen Shingo's life out of desperation, which planted a significant knot in his heart, one that perhaps only Lowen Shingo could untie.
Bart Cloud echoed, "Indeed, your Elders made a promise to him that they could not only save your life but also keep you as the Young Master of the sect, driving all other competitors out. He made a mistake, but he was faithful to you and never planned for himself."
"So, that's what happened!" Lowen Shingo gave a bitter smile. The Daoist was foolish to have endured slanders for the sake of his safety. He should have known the Elders were cunning and would never keep their promise.
