Hearing his question, Tang Yuehua wasn't angry at all.
She looked up, meeting the Seventh Elder's angry and stern gaze, and spoke word by word, asking again.
"Although these words sound extremely harsh, and when Tang San spoke of them on the heavenly curtain, there was much intent to humiliate.
But this time, Seventh Elder, please forgive Yuehua's rudeness; I also want to ask the same question.
That is, for the current predicament of the Clear Sky Sect, are the so-called 'face' and 'reputation' really as important as you imagine?"
As soon as these words came out, it's no exaggeration to say that everyone present was shocked.
A moment later.
When they recovered.
The Seventh Elder stared, and was the first to angrily rebuke Tang Yuehua, saying,
"Tang Yuehua! What do you mean by that!"
"Are you also going to betray the Sect?"
"This is absurd, Yuehua, apologize to the Seventh Elder immediately!"
"You're a grown woman, why are you still so reckless and thoughtless with your words?"
Her elder brother, Tang Xiao, also frowned and snorted coldly.
Of course.
Though he was scolding her, he was actually concerned about Tang Yuehua from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, it was somewhat like a symbolic punishment, meant to easily gloss over the matter.
However, upon hearing the Seventh Elder's rebuke.
And seeing Tang Xiao frantically winking at her from beside her.
Tang Yuehua remained completely unmoved.
Instead, she spoke with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, replying,
"The previous Sect Master was my father, and the current Sect Master is my elder brother. Do you think I would betray the Sect?
I believe the Seventh Elder and all of you present have no concept of how cruel the current situation truly is.
You simply don't know what dangers you are facing. Even now, you are still clinging to the pride of being the Clear Sky Sect, once the head of the Seven Great Sects and the number one Sect in the World.
Have none of you noticed that in less than a single day, the entire World's pattern has imperceptibly changed again?"
"The World's pattern has changed?"
"Are you saying that Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall is about to obtain a Spirit Bone?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao, who had been angry and anxious just a moment ago, looked much calmer.
However, his words weren't finished yet.
The Seventh Elder had already spoken, adding on,
"That matter isn't certain yet, is it? How can the heavenly curtain's rewards be fully predicted? This thing is completely random, isn't it?"
"Exactly."
The remaining Elders of the Sect also immediately added,
"Regarding this, don't you know by looking at Yu Xiaogang and others who previously became lucky viewers? Who can guarantee that Qian Renxue will definitely get a Spirit Bone next? Perhaps, like Liu Erlong before, it might be a love token, you can't say for sure."
"Alright, even if we assume that Qian Renxue's reward this time is not a Spirit Bone. Can we then rest easy now?"
There wasn't a single fool present.
They clearly all guessed Tang Yuehua's implied meaning.
However, they clearly held a negative attitude towards this matter.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Tang Yuehua wasn't angry or annoyed.
Instead, she spoke calmly and composedly, asking in return,
"Have you forgotten that before Qian Renxue obtained a Spirit Bone, Hu Liena and Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall had already successively obtained a 10,000-year and a 100,000-year Spirit Bone?!"
"Spirit Hall already faintly surpassed us. Now that they have gratuitously obtained two Spirit Bones, will their strength not increase but instead remain on par with ours, Seventh Elder, is that what you mean?"
"This old man…"
The Seventh Elder, who had just been furious, was speechless after hearing her words.
He wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.
Seeing this scene.
Tang Xiao, who had been silent, finally took over the conversation.
However, at this moment, he uncharacteristically did not speak up for Tang Yuehua again.
Instead, he stood on the same front as the Seventh Elder and the others.
"Alright, stop arguing, say less. So, Tang Yuehua, is this the method you came up with to help the Clear Sky Sect resist Spirit Hall?"
"Returning the Spirit Bone and clinging to Tang San's thigh, that's what you really mean, right?"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you that Tang San hasn't even reached Spirit Saint yet."
"Isn't it a bit too early for you to be thinking of clinging to his thigh now?"
Seeing him like this.
The Seventh Elder and the others' eyes also lit up.
They excitedly spoke, saying,
"Exactly, his strength is too low right now, isn't it? If we really want to invest, wouldn't it be better to use this Spirit Bone to invest in Tang Long and Tang Hu of our Clear Sky Sect?"
"Too early? Giving help in times of need is better than adding flowers to embroidery. Haven't you Elders heard this saying?"
"As for Tang Long, Tang Hu…"
"It's not that I'm boosting others' morale and dampening our own. Does it seem to the Seventh Elder that these two will also have the qualifications to ascend to the God Realm in the future?"
Tang Yuehua asked repeatedly.
Though her words were soft, each word was like a sharp blade, piercing directly into the hearts of the people opposite her.
So much so that after hearing her words this time.
The room immediately fell into a long silence.
"…"
Tang Yuehua was not surprised by everyone's silence.
She then spoke, replying with a decisive tone,
"So, it's not that I insist on investing in Tang San. It's not about lingering old feelings, but rather that we have no choice but to act this way.
If you feel hypocritical, how can I not feel uncomfortable?
But there's no way. Besides this, we have no other choice."
Tang Yuehua was decisive.
Her words even swayed the Seventh Elder.
However, before he could speak and say anything more.
After a moment of silence, Tang Xiao was the first to speak, taking over the conversation and offering a completely opposite opinion.
"No!"
"It's not that there's no choice at all."
"We still have other paths to take."
Tang Yuehua was surprised.
"What path? Where is there another path to take, elder brother? Our current situation is not much more dangerous than the Clear Sky Sect of the parallel World. At a time like this, we really can't be indecisive and hesitate too much.
We must make a decision as soon as possible."
Tang Yuehua asked, then added in reply.
Her words were truly earnest and heartfelt.
And at this moment, hearing her question.
Tang Xiao's expression didn't change in the slightest.
He then spoke with a serious face, asking her again,
"Do you still remember how the Clear Sky Sect of that parallel World dealt with danger?"
"You mean, meticulously imitating Yu Chen's operations?" Tang Yuehua was stunned.
After recovering, she scoffed at this method.
She shook her head repeatedly, saying,
"What kind of method is this?"
"On the heavenly curtain, Yu Chen had already anticipated this step, and at that time, he was full of confidence, saying that even if the other party chose to follow, they wouldn't be able to keep up with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy's research and development. Elder brother, have you forgotten all of this completely?"
