Appreciation, Gu Jingqing

"What are you doing?"

Upon seeing a group of covert guards suddenly appearing in front of him, Han Hongyi's expression turned incredibly ugly. It was evident from their posture that they intended to force him to go back.

"Elder, please return."

The covert guards' attitude was cold and devoid of any warmth in their voices. Previously, they had some reservations due to the elder's status, but now that the sect leader had given the order, they no longer needed to be polite.

Feeling the demeanor of the covert guards, Han Hongyi's face turned ashen. How many years had it been since he had received such treatment?

"The sect leader would not treat me like this!"

Han Hongyi's voice was stubborn and icy. He absolutely could not accept this punishment. With that, he immediately attempted to catch up to the sect leader.

He didn't believe it, didn't believe any of what was happening before his eyes.

After seeing Han Hongyi's refusal to give up, the covert guards no longer bothered to consider his thoughts. They promptly grabbed both of his arms and took him back.

In their eyes, today's elder was completely unreasonable.

Since the elder refused to listen to reason, they had no choice.

Being restrained by the covert guards, Han Hongyi struggled in vain.

"Let go of me!"

"I am the senior elder of the Heavenly Constellation Sect!"

However, the covert guards paid no attention to the elder's words. Their current task was to bring the elder back to his residence and prevent him from causing further trouble here.

"Release me! I can walk by myself!"

After struggling fruitlessly, Han Hongyi couldn't help but speak out. After all, he was still the senior elder of the Heavenly Constellation Sect. If he were to be seen like this by the disciples of the sect, what would be left of his dignity?

However, despite Han Hongyi's repeated struggles, the covert guards simply didn't believe the elder's words. If they allowed the elder to disturb the sect leader again, they would be deserving of death!

Han Hongyi's gaze fell on Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing. Helpless in the face of this situation, Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing also felt a great deal of frustration.

In fact, they had already felt quite helpless when they witnessed the elder's complete lack of decorum.

At present, there was nothing they could do because the elder's decision was fundamentally flawed.

If they were to speak out now, it would undoubtedly anger the sect leader.

Seeing that Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing had no intention of helping him, Han Hongyi's expression became even more grim.

It seemed that this situation was unchangeable...

After Han Hongyi disappeared from their sight, Qin Ai finally spoke up. "The elder's actions this time were truly unwise. He actually uttered such words."

"The demise of Han Xiling has dealt a great blow to the elder, causing him to act irrationally now."

"However, the reasons the elder came up with are meaningless and only make him appear more narrow-minded."

Gu Jingqing shook his head, unsure of what to say about the elder's current state. The senior elder was truly unwise.

In comparison, his impression of Baili Hongzhuang was quite favorable.

Initially, Baili Hongzhuang didn't need to participate in the assessment competition. After all, she had the identity of the Young Sect Master's wife, and there wouldn't have been any problem if she had stayed in the Heavenly Constellation Sect.

However, due to the mockery and taunting from Han Xiling and others, Baili Hongzhuang ultimately decided to shut everyone up with her own strength.

Just this fact alone was something that many women couldn't achieve.
