"Greetings, Hall Master," Long Dangdang said respectfully with a Knight's salute.
This was not the main hall of the Sacred Legate; it was the place where the Hall Master cultivated. Thus, the room contained only Long Dangdang and the Hall Master.
Looking at Long Dangdang standing before him, apparently unchanged from before, the Hall Master sighed, "Although it's pitiable, you have disappointed me, you know."
Long Dangdang remained silent; he understood what the Hall Master meant. As the champion of the Great Impartation Contest, he was to be trained as the next Hall Master, although that might take a long time. He was undoubtedly the most likely successor to the next generation's Hall Master.
However, he had recklessly ventured into the Wraith Kingdom, putting himself in danger. From the perspective of the Temple's upper echelons, it was undoubtedly a disregard of the greater good over personal matters, especially when the Federation was fully warring with the Wraith Kingdom.
