"Shizun is right. Qiao Wei apologizes for causing trouble for Shizun."
"Sigh. Outsiders might think that you are colluding with those spirits to kidnap the common folk, but I have known you since you were but a helpless infant. I was the one who raised you after your parents passed away. You are not capable of betraying our sect, let alone mixing with demonic entities."
Qiao Wei bowed in front of his shizun.
"Shizun's trust means the world to me. Please entrust this case to me. Allow me to clear my name."
"Do that," Bai Siyang went back to his seat. "Go and spend as much time as you need in Dong Village. You can request reinforcement anytime you need.
"Yes, Shizun."
"Qiao Wei."
Qiao Wei raised his head to look at Bai Siyang.
"Yes, Shizun?"
"Take Disciple Gu and Disciple Wang with you. Their discipline is poor. I don't want them to go around telling about their meeting with those animal spirits in front of outsiders again."
