The crowd chattered excitedly, their emotions running high.
…Clearly, word of Qin Fang's return to the Sect had already spread.
Qin Fang, who was still debating whether to intervene, was momentarily stunned when he saw his excited junior brothers and sisters.
…In their eyes, he could see undisguised trust and expectation.
Something stirred in Qin Fang's heart.
His Master had told him to follow his heart.
'My own… heart?'
'But… is it really a matter of what I want?'
'Someone from another sect is stirring up trouble within our own, oppressing my fellow disciples.'
'As the First Hall True Inheritance…'
'I enjoy an extremely high status and its benefits.'
'…And I'm supposed to just follow my heart?'
A light flickered in Qin Fang's eyes.
'…What heart am I supposed to be following?'
"Alright, alright. Your junior brother just got back, what's the big rush? Break it up, everyone."
Senior Sister Wen's gentle voice pulled Qin Fang from his thoughts.
