A Father's Melancholy

Peak Master Duan, who was also in the crowd of the elders spoke up, "There's not much time left. Let's discuss such stuff after we find those assassins."

"Yes," Grand Elder Xuan nodded his head and continued, "The disciples are all safe in the banquet hall, no need to worry about them, let's get those assassins."

No," Grand Elder Li shook his head, "No need to care about those assassins, we need to get our disciples to safety first, let's go."

He didn't waste any more time and headed towards the base of the First Peak.

Everyone else, except two people, followed him, hurrying to get to the base, though they were confused why they needed to care about the disciples when the assassins were still at large and might escape if no one searched for them.

...

The two who didn't follow the elders were Sect Leader Su and Peak Master Duan. Later one stayed back when he saw Sect Leader Su was not moving.
