Elder Jian didn't know why was Elder Song too focused on the boy. And now knowing the boy's status in the city, made the uneasiness in his heart grow stronger.
In fact, Elder Song will also make a test to the seedlings to get inside the 'Sword Cloud Sect' for the first training as his principal goal. The more seedlings he gets for the Sect's training, the more bonus he can get, and the prestige, flattery, and envy, from the rest, who looked down upon him, made him greedy. Being the center of attention filled his ego.
His ego and his superiority made him arrogant and hated by all the Sect's members. Even his Uncle the Sect's Master doesn't like him, he just turns a blind eye for respect to his big sister, Elder Song's mother.
His reputation in the Sect is awful. He is a narcissistic, arrogant, self-centered person. His lame cultivation, at his age, leaves the Sect Master helpless.
