Chengyun Long quietly watched the crowd, his words laced with hidden meaning as his eyes locked onto Hong Yu.
Master Hu frowned slightly. His relationship with this Chengyun Long was anything but harmonious. He said in a low voice, "Elder Cheng, I wonder what you mean by that?"
"Elder Hu, no need to be nervous. I have no other meaning. It's just that..."
Chengyun Long paced a few steps as if strolling through a garden, then rested his hands on another elder's shoulders. He said lightly, "While the Guild may not be one of the Kingdom's major powers, no one can deny its importance to the Kingdom. The position of Elder, in particular, wields power on par with a Kingdom Marquis. It is of the utmost importance, so how can we allow an outsider to take it so casually?"
The moment he spoke, his words drew a wave of support.
Half of the Spiritual Craftsman Guild Elders seated at the head table nodded in agreement with Chengyun Long's words.
This caught Master Hu completely off guard.
