Gu Shishi, now a close friend of Tang Xin and having lived in the Tang Sect for a few days, was well-versed in the sect's affairs. She began to explain to Ye Fei, "This all started over fifty years ago. Back then, there was an elder in the Tang Sect whose grandson failed in the competition for the position of Sect Leader. In a fit of anger, he left the Tang Sect and vanished without a trace.
Everyone thought he was dead, but surprisingly, a few days ago, this missing elder returned after more than fifty years, bringing along a last disciple.
As soon as he came back, he declared himself the Grand Elder and appointed his disciple as the Young Master. No one in the Tang Sect, except for the reclusive ancestors, could match his strength, so they had to acknowledge their identities."
"I see," Ye Fei nodded. He understood the reclusive ancestors' stance; they would only step in if the entire Tang Sect's survival was at stake.
