Between the 2 Advanced Spiritualists, one was tall while the other was short. The tall one was Ma Xiuhe, whereas the short one was Qing Juncai. They were both powerful cultivators that were brought up by Li Shaoyuan.
Due to the pointers from a Venerable One and their remarkable natural gifts, they managed to stand out from the rest and became Advanced Spiritualists.
Nonetheless, they understood better that an Advanced Spiritualist was not a pivotal figure to a Venerable One. Li Shaoyuan had only sent them to Li Tianyu to protect the indulgent child.
Since Li Tianyu was Li Shaoyuan's only grandson, the Venerable One was naturally aware of his domineering character. The only thing was that he was not bothered. After all, Li Tianyu was his grandson and was within his territory, hence he could settle everything regardless of what the fellow did. In fact, the Venerable One would not need to show up at all because his followers would handle everything.
