However, sometimes being overly kind can unfortunately be perceived by others as a weakness to be exploited.
Facing the modest and kindly Pang Hong, who did not wish to make a big fuss, the disciples of Canglang Palace thought he feared them, especially the leading disciple of the Spirit Realm Level Five, an heir of Canglang Palace. They thought Pang Hong was too weak to be threatened, didn't consider him seriously, and they disrespectfully insulted Pei Xuanjing, treating him as a fraud.
They were highly disrespectful to Pei Xuanjing, belittling his achievements, arguing that his fame only came from times without true heroes. They claimed that if the revival of Heaven and Earth hadn't been slow and many of the strong figures of the Sky Wasteland hadn't yet returned, a mere cultivator of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm like Pei Xuanjing would never have the chance to be hailed as the First Person in the World.
