If Bai Ruozhu were present, he would undoubtedly have applauded the second elder. He didn't start by denouncing the great elder right away, nor did he evade the great elder's targeting without fighting back and losing momentum. Instead, he turned around to question the great elder, which was simply splendidly done.
Of course, Bai Ruozhu also didn't believe that the second elder was just a naively honest "straightforward boy". Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the position of the second elder, nor would he have so many loyal followers.
At this moment, many of the elders in the Council Hall were unhappy with the great elder. Indeed, the trouble was caused by the great elder, and he was the one everyone was pointing fingers at outside. Everyone was trying to help him solve the problem, but he just wanted to shift the blame.
