Xia Nichang saw the white light beam sweep over Master Dameng, but she didn't feel relaxed at all—there is an absolute difference between a Steward Master and an ordinary Master.
The Steward might not have the highest cultivation level in the sect, but they certainly have many treasures, and are protected by the sect's fate. The most crucial thing, however, is—they hold a heavy weapon of stewardship.
Take Qinggang Steward Master Duanren for example. If he didn't have the Heart-piercing Nail, Yue Qing would have been justified to beat him up after suffering such grievances, especially when his master died without a proper investigation by the sect, and there would be no problem in doing so.
A sect values seniority and rank, but in such tragic circumstances, a reaction is understandable.
However, with Master Duanren wielding the Heart-piercing Nail, Yue Qing wouldn't dare to be reckless, for he couldn't withstand a strike from it.
