The Clan Elders of the Song Family all looked awkward and tried to smooth things over, "Indeed, Song Li was out of line, and the Ninth Master was confused with anger. He's an elder, you should not hold it against him."
Song Jiyun said, "So we just let this matter go?"
Upon hearing these words that hinted at room for maneuver, the Elders hurriedly said, "If this matter is true, we will certainly give you an explanation."
Having said this, they also urged Ninth Master Song, whose face was ashen, standing on the side, "You better say something quickly."
Ninth Master Song pursed his lips, his face full of pride and anger, "I did nothing, what do you want me to say?"
One of the Clan Elders, unhappy, said, "A fly doesn't sting an egg that has no crack. You say you did nothing, yet why would Song Li drag your name through the mud without reason?"
Ninth Master Song was furious, "Who knows why he went mad?"
The Clan Elders were all defending him, but his attitude was clearly flippant.
