Indeed, from the Elders down to the outer sect disciples, the Wenjin Sect never truly considered them part of the sect.
"Steward Bao has already spoken with the Law Enforcement Hall; Chu Ning doesn't need to undergo the elixir trial any longer. These two still sought out Chu Ning and got beaten—it's their own fault. Could it be that Disciple Yang wishes to stand up for these two?"
Huang Fei knew that Yang Feng was a disciple of Elder Qiong, so he had to invoke Steward Bao.
Chu Ning is the child of fortune in Steward Bao's alchemy endeavors—if Yang Feng killed him, would Steward Bao blame himself for not providing adequate protection?
From the moment he chose to recommend Chu Ning to Steward Bao, he had stood on Steward Bao's side, and having offended Elder Qiong, he relied on Steward Bao's support. Yet, if he further dissatisfied Steward Bao, his life in the Wenjin Sect would truly become untenable.
Yang Feng also felt troubled. With Huang Fei present, he couldn't kill Chu Ning.
