Yue Gui nodded. "Chen Jiang is right. The reason I asked you to stay is because of this matter."
He took a sip of tea and said, "The Steward Xu Yang offended is named Xiao Hua. This person is petty and narrow-minded. Xu Yang embarrassed him at the Task Hall, which is why he's being targeted.
Xu Yang has not yet achieved Qi Cultivation Gang, but was assigned by this Xiao Hua to do a task that only Qi Cultivation Gang disciples can do.
Given Xiao Hua's pettiness, you all had best consider whether we'll be implicated if we continue our alliance with Xu Yang."
A petty Steward!
The expressions of Qin Ze, Liu Qian, and Chen Jiang all turned serious.
Even if an Inner Sect Disciple had been the one targeting Xu Yang, they wouldn't have cared much.
No matter how high an Inner Sect Disciple's status was, they had no real power in the Outer Sect and couldn't control anyone.
An Outer Sect Steward was different. They were the ones who managed Outer Disciples.
