Cardinal Lin was furious about how the Saint Prince of the Human Emperor Palace tried to harass one of their own. If they were really a righteous church, they would not allow others to bully their kind.
If they were to let others look down on them while these people continued their abusive deeds on their own, they would never become righteous people.
Cardinal Lin had endless admiration for the Holy Light Emperor and the story of how the latter became who he was now. It was all because he helped an injured but powerful expert before recuperating in his residence. Back then, he was still an innocent child. He had seen all the atrocities in life and saw how his parents were killed by a group of people, but he vowed to himself that he would not take revenge.
Because his parents wouldn't want to become like that as well.
