It seemed like no one had taken the Pure Grace Palace's Elder's words to heart. The way those youths were looking at the Pure Grace Palace's Elder made the Elder unconsciously feel a little guilty.
In truth, the Pure Grace Palace did not see anything wrong with the Elder's actions as the Pure Grace Palace had no intention to offend any of the palaces. Even if Zhuge Yin was in the wrong in today's incident, but the Shadow Moon Palace and the Pure Grace Palace did not share any special relationship and the Pure Grace Palace's neutral stance was rather justifiable.
If it was any other time, this would be true.
But the problem lay in the fact that Jun Xie had already incited everyone's displeasure against Zhuge Yin earlier and those youths were highly resistant to Zhuge Yin's extreme methods at that moment. Now that the Pure Grace Palace's Elder had stepped out to smooth things over, the look in the eyes of the others had changed.
It was as if they were fearful of the might of the Dragon Slayers Palace and had intentionally sided towards Zhuge Yin.
The group of youths had been rather frightened by Zhuge Yin's methods and they had now "discovered" that the Pure Grace Palace was actually siding with the Dragon Slayers Palace. That just reminded them of the Dragon Slayers Palace's fearlessness, and the Pure Grace Palace's inaction.
Thinking that they would still be staying in the Pure Grace Palace for a period to come, the youths were naturally displeased with the Pure Grace Palace's inaction.
That would not be able to guarantee their safety at all. They were in the Pure Grace Palace but they were not able to get any protection, which even caused their resistance towards Zhuge Yin to spill over into the Pure Grace Palace.
The youths who were feeling highly conflicted did not give the Pure Grace Palace's Elder much face as they left in groups, their gazes before they left caused the Pure Grace Palace's Elder's face to stiffen up.
He was no fool and it was impossible that he would not be able to see the dissatisfaction these youths had towards him. But the dissatisfaction had come so suddenly and inexplicably which confused the Pure Grace Palace's Elder, making him feel rather aggrieved.
They had finally managed to arrange something for this bunch of rascals and in the end, they had stirred up trouble themselves and they were still blaming the Pure Grace Palace. What was the Pure Grace Palace really after?
The arena match ended on a sour note and the Pure Grace Palace was left in a mess. They had not let the Dragon Slayers Palace see their neutrality but had instead led the disciples from the other palaces to think that they were subservient to the Dragon Slayers Palace.
Zhuge Yin returned to his room in a state of confusion.
On the arena stage earlier, he had clearly seen the gazes of the youths from the other palaces as they stared at him. That kind of guarded and repelling gazes had given him a highly ominous feeling. He had not thought that his moment of glee today would actually incite the displeasure the other palaces felt towards the Dragon Slayers Palace, a point he had not expected at all.
Tormenting Yue Yi was just a personal matter and in the end, Jun Wu had escalated it into the Dragon Slayers Palace with just a few words, where Zhuge Yin could not even find the words to refute it. On the arena stage earlier, Zhuge Yin had not been able to react to what had happened. But on the way back, he had ruminated over and over again on what Jun Wu had said before he finally came to his senses.
That kid had feigned humbleness and helplessness, but that only served to highlight his arrogance and fearlessness. Zhuge Yin had thought that that was just Jun Xie's true nature, weak and cowardly, but thinking about it now, he felt that there was something fishy about it.
"Damn it! We were actually made a fool of by that stinking brat! " Zhuge Yin said angrily as he slumped back into his chair, his fist pounding down on the table in frustration, immediately filling the hard redwood surface with spider webs of cracks.
If not for Jun Xie's words and that demeanour, how would the people from the other palaces have implicated the Dragon Slayers Palace in the matter?
