Chapter 283 The Cause

Tian Lin, along with sisters Yu'er, entered the grand hall, only to unexpectedly find more than just Elder Xue and one or two Nascent Soul elders present.

The lanterns in the hall were still habitually lit.

Elder Xue sat in the center, while beneath him knelt Brother Tang and a lady in white.

Tian Lin knew in his heart that the lady in white was defiant toward Elder Xue, so this kneeling was not to admit wrongdoing to Elder Xue but to the Nascent Soul elder to Elder Xue's left.

Although Tian Lin had never met this Nascent Soul elder, it wasn't hard to guess from his features that he was Brother Tang's grandfather, Elder Tang from the sect's Elder Court.

This Elder Tang's face was as calm as water, yet, without speaking, he exerted a stifling pressure on everyone present.

In contrast, the Nascent Soul elder to Elder Xue's right wore a smile, appearing very amiable to both Tian Lin and the lady in white.
