Master Guyue did not consider why Xia Nichang didn't consult with him because he believed that leading the Spirit Vein was the exclusive domain of the Taiqing sect.
However, he didn't deliberately make things difficult for Xia Nichang, because now all the powers at White Pebble Beach had a consensus—Mountain Master Feng seemed to have a particularly favorable attitude toward the Crimson Pheonix Sect.
First, there was Qu Jianlei, then Guan Hongxiu, and, of course, Nie Chifeng, who frequently lingered in the manor and was rumored to be nearing Core Formation.
Since Mountain Master Feng's companions were also predominantly beautiful female cultivators, certain rumors circulated at White Pebble Beach. However, regardless of the gossip, the Crimson Pheonix Sect was the first to send dedicated protectors for Feng Jun, so no one complained about the differential treatment.
Master Guyue was willing to cooperate, and Xia Nichang naturally agreed to go with the flow.
