After leaving the elder hall, Li Hao walked in silence, but his thoughts moved quickly as he analyzed the situation, because although the elders had not openly supported him, neither had they dismissed his claim, which meant that his actions had not been considered reckless or baseless, and more importantly, he had not been suppressed despite accusing someone of Zhao Kun's status.
"They're watching you," the sprite's voice echoed softly within his mind.
Li Hao understood immediately.
This meant he had entered a new stage—not just as a disciple, but as a figure under observation.
Wang Lei approached him outside. "What did they say?"
"They didn't reject the claim," Li Hao replied.
Xu Mei frowned slightly. "Then they're waiting."
Li Hao nodded.
Waiting to see who was worth supporting.
Waiting to see who would stand stronger when the conflict unfolded.
