Synopsis

The chapter opens with Mount Hua Sect elders reflecting on their newfound laughter and prosperity, acknowledging it's due to their Grand Elder's efforts. They confront their past negligence towards their Sect Leader, realizing they should have shared his burdens. Meanwhile, a young woman from a rich clan finds herself held back by the Grand Elder, seemingly because he is amused by her defiance and willingness to throw money around, contrasting with the sect's former ascetic ways. This suggests a shift in the sect's dynamic and priorities.
