Elder Xin Jian nodded in satisfaction, especially pleased with Zhuo Feifan's sincerely earnest tone.
This young man had been bested by a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect in the past. Yet in the years that followed, he had taken his defeat to heart and strove to excel in cultivation, often choosing to harden himself in the most arduous ways.
The efforts of Zhuo Feifan over the years had not escaped the attention of the elders, and his dedication to upholding the honor of the sect had earned their affection.
This was also the reason why, despite a few elders' disapproval, he still received the endorsement of many more.
Elder Xin Jian felt that among those likely to wrest the Red Lotus Immortal Sword from Qin Feng's grasp and cleanse the sect's disgrace, Zhuo Feifan, along with the true disciples of the Divine Sword and Intent Sword lineages, were the most promising candidates.
