Elder Tu Mu passed away in tranquility.
...
When Xu Heng packed his belongings to leave Earth-Wood Hall, standing at the main gate with a bucket in his hand, it all seemed surreal.
I have been the earth-wood elder for over twenty years, and just like that, I'm relieved of my duties?
I'm not even sixty-five yet, am I?
He looked at Chu Liang, who stood aside with a smile, and asked indignantly, "What kind of slanderous words did you fill the Sect Leader with?"
"I merely suggested a few minor projects to the Sect Leader for the development of our sect," Chu Liang shrugged.
Not long ago, he entered the Unbounded Palace and stood before Master Wen Yuan. Apart from the four Zhenshan Elders, normal elders and Peak Masters would have to wait at the entrance for an announcement, to see if he had time.
But not Chu Liang.
Master Wen Yuan had commanded that whenever Chu Liang came, he was to be brought before him immediately.
