"It is not that my Guan Yan Hall is harsh in its affairs, but rather that all previous Heads of Guan Yan Hall have been inherently strict. As Guan Yan Hall oversees both supervision and disciplinary matters, if we do not uphold the standards, who will?"
Ku Di no longer concealed his emotions and said directly, "Given the responsibilities entrusted, I must ask the Zen monk not to interfere further."
The Mage Zhi E appeared much younger than Ku Ming and the others, looking to be only in his forties. This indicated that he must have achieved God Arrives status within this age range, thus ceasing to age.
Yet his appearance was somewhat menacing, not quite befitting a person of Buddhism.
Facing Ku Di's dissatisfaction, his brow twitched noticeably, betraying his fierce nature, but his voice carried no anger, "Even according to the temple's standards, one should no longer seek out Guan Yan. He no longer owes anything to the Hanging Monastery."
