As such, when Elder Huang had said those words, Gao Lin’s expression immediately turned into an absolutely ugly sight. His elderly voice was tinged with ice as he spoke, “This little girl is not only the disciple of the Holy Doctor, I myself find a kindred spirit in her so I won’t force her to leave. Besides, I am the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect. When was it decided that an elder would be able to give the orders?”

　　“Hahaha!”

　　Elder Huang burst into laughter. His laughter soon stopped and he swept his gaze across the people in the room one by one before he spoke coldly, “Sect Master, I hope that you don’t regret your decision today!”

　　Once he had said his piece, he threw his sleeves fiercely over his arms and left without a backward glance.

　　Gu Ruoyun’s gaze darkened as she stared at Elder Huang’s disappearing figure. She then asked, “Elder Huang is only an elder, why would he dare to speak in such a manner? May I ask the reason behind this?”

　　Unless I am wrong, Gao Lin had indeed hesitated when Elder Huang had threatened him in the beginning. In the end, after an internal struggle, he had made the decision to stand by me.

　　This would not have happened unless Elder Huang has some sort of trump card in his hand.

　　“Miss Gu, allow me to explain.” Lin Yang turned towards Gu Ruoyun and said, “Though Elder Huang is an elder of the Medicine Sect, he has some connections with those people from that place.”

　　“That place?” Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrow and asked suspiciously.

　　“That’s right.” Lin Yang nodded, “That place refers to the First City! Elder Huang is affiliated with some cultivators in the First City, this is why he has had the audacity to act with such tyrannical abuse.”

　　The First City!

　　Gu Ruoyun fell silent when she heard those words. After a long pause, she continued to ask, “Based on this situation, why doesn’t Elder Huang enter the First City? Why does he remain as an elder in the Medicine Sect?”

　　“Hehe.” Lin Yang chuckled scornfully and his eyes were filled with ridicule, “How great is the arrogance of those cultivators in the First City? Why should they even pay any attention to Elder Huang? He is merely their spy in the world outside. Honestly speaking, with Elder Huang’s level of power, he would only be the lowest of the low if he actually enters the First City and would have no status to speak of! How can that be compared to the grandeur of being an elder of the Medicine Sect? Even though many are fighting to enter the First City, if their powers are insufficient, they would simply hold the fate of cannon fodder if they actually manage to enter the city!”

　　Gu Ruoyun nodded, Grand Lord Hong Lian had once mentioned this to her.

　　Don’t judge the Lin family just because they had sent many Martial Supremes over. Those Martial Supremes were not the most powerful ones in the Lin family! Furthermore, the Lin family’s power is ranked amongst lowest in the First City’s food chain!

　　The truly powerful cultivators were not allowed to leave the First City. Hence, the Lin family could only dispatch their Martial Supremes!

　　“If my guess was right, Elder Huang would have definitely have informed the First City about the Medicine Sect’s general meeting this time.” Gao Lin glanced at Gu Ruoyun and slowly said, “Little girl, Elder Huang is the kind of person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievances. When the time comes, you must be vigilant.”

　　“I understand.”

　　Gu Ruoyun smiled but she knows that today, she owed the Sect Master a great debt.

　　After all, the Sect Master had stood by her despite the threat from the First City. This was a feat that not many could accomplish.

　　“The Medicine Sect’s general meeting will begin in three days. Lin Yang, you shall take good care of the Gu girl in the next few days.”

　　Gao Lin turned towards Lin Yang and gave his instruction.

　　To him, Grand Lord Hong Lian was clearly more terrifying than the First City.

　　At least the First City was limited by its rules and they could not do things at will. However, that madman, Grand Lord Hong Lian, does not care very much about rules and propriety! If his daughter was to meet with any grievances, he would definitely storm the Medicine Sect immediately!

　　When that time comes, the Sect Master would not even have the time to weep.
