The elder solemnly gazed at Elder Tianjian.
In his aged eyes, there was not the slightest hint of murkiness; instead, they were incredibly deep, exuding a sharp glint.
Elder Tianjian exchanged a glance with him, quickly lowered his head, and dared not meet his gaze.
The elder's gaze shifted to Elder Tongtian.
Elder Tongtian, too, dared not look directly, but after lowering his head, he cupped his hands and said, "Old Dean, from where do you judge that Xiao Yi is exceptionally talented?"
"At the very least, I don't believe Elder Tianjian's actions were inappropriate in the slightest."
"Xiao Yi's comprehensive evaluation is inconsistent, with several aspects even failing to meet our Heavenly Hidden Academy's entry requirements."
"Letting him be a gatekeeper for a year, and if he passes the test, return him to Elder Tianjian's tutelage, is already a great favor to him."
"Does the Old Dean believe our academy's assessment could be wrong?"
