Huai Ren calmly gazed at Tang Thirty-Six, but did not reply.

Tang Thirty-Six calmly looked back, also not speaking. It was clear that he wanted nothing more than for her to give an answer.

Huai Shu harshly said, ”A madman like Xiao Zhang, whose hands are drenched in blood? How could we let him enter the mountain and sully this pure and holy land?”

Tang Thirty-Six wanted deeply to mention Su Li.

The number of people Su Li had killed was uncountable, his sword stained in far more blood than Xiao Zhang's spear, but did Holy Maiden Peak dare to drive him away?

Even your Holy Maiden left with him.

Just as he was about to say these words, he took them back. These words were too ruthless, and if he didn't say them right, it would end in conflict.

He shook his head and unconcernedly said, ”If I remember correctly, before the Holy Maiden secluded herself, she ordered that all matters of South Stream Temple would be managed by Senior Sisters Ping Xuan and Yi Chen. I think that driving Xiao Zhang from Holy Maiden Peak was assuredly not their will, but the will of you three?”

Hearing this, the disciples around the thatched cottage became uneasy, especially those two disciples standing behind the three Daoist nuns, who even lowered their heads. Tang Thirty-Six could clearly sense that these two disciples possessed a powerful cultivation, so they were presumably Ping Xuan and Yi Chen.

Huai Ren knew that she had to respond and serenely said, ”Correct, it was my will that Xiao Zhang not enter the mountain.”

Tang Thirty-Six stared into her eyes and inquired, ”Why?”

Huai Shu angrily said, ”I've already said why.”

Tang Thirty-Six ignored her. Still staring into Huai Ren's eyes, he questioned, ”Then, based on what?”

Even if you gave ten thousand reasons for not allowing Xiao Zhang in, just what authority was it based on?

This is a matter of South Stream Temple. On whose authority are you issuing orders?

Huai Bi sneered, ”The Holy Maiden is in seclusion, but does that mean that we seniors can no longer concern ourselves in such matters?”

Tang Thirty-Six replied, ”The Holy Maiden is in seclusion, so that means that you no longer need to respect her decrees? Just who is greater, you or the Holy Maiden?”

His words had ceased to be criticism, becoming a direct challenge.

Huai Bi was infuriated at these questions and prepared to retort.

Huai Ren advised, ”Junior Sister, Young Master Tang is well known for his eloquent words. You are certainly not his opponent.”

”Wrong.” Tang Thirty-Six corrected her, ”I am no silver-tongue. I just speak loudly and quickly.”

Huai Ren smiled. ”One who speaks reason does not need a loud voice. If you just spoke loudly and quickly, why has no one ever been able to win an argument against you?”

”Wrong again.” Tang Thirty-Six explained, ”One who speaks reason will naturally speak loudly. My reasons are straightforward, so my voice is robust. No one has ever been able to win an argument against me because they do not speak with reason.”

His words were naturally referring to the matters of South Stream Temple.

He felt that he had reason, so these three elders of South Stream Temple were naturally without reason.

Silence reigned inside and outside the thatched cottage. The disciples of South Stream Temple lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.

”Young Master Tang feels that we three elders returned to South Stream Temple to avail ourselves of the Holy Maiden's seclusion to seize power.”

Huai Ren looked at the disciples and asked, ”Perhaps they think the same?”

Hearing this, the hundred-some disciples around the thatched cottage quickly broke their silence to say that they wouldn't dare.
