106 Human Nature (2/2)

Most likely, the Elders had believed him. They just couldn't do anything about Yang Wu Huang for now so they were just cautioning the other disciples to pay more attention while still not needlessly worrying them.

It was actually a good plan. He was just afraid that it might not be enough. What if Yang Wu Huang went completely crazy? What if he didn't care about the others at all? What if he was willing to risk the lives of all these disciples just to get back at him?

Yang Wu Huang was that kind of person. Of that, he was sure. And while he could take care of Yun Bei Fen and maybe a few others, he would never be able to save all of them. He could only hope that the Elders had accounted for that.

Baili Chao glanced over the gathered disciples, catching Mei Chao Bing's look and also seeing the slightly unnatural expression of Yang Wu Huang. Now that he knew what he was looking for, it was actually quite easy to spot. It was just that he never would have been able to imagine something like this before so he had never paid much attention.

He sighed to himself and then gave the disciples a wry smile before stepping back and letting Elder Xing continue.

”There is nothing we can do about the tragedy that befell us yesterday. The past is the past. Those that have left us can ever be brought back. But going forward, we can try to make sure that there will be fewer sacrifices.

”Elder Baili and I have considered all our options and we have decided to change the way we go about this mission. Obviously, the demonic practitioners already know about our actions. Thus we have to try and make it less likely to be surprised and overpowered by them.

”For that, we have decided to change the patrol groups. From here on out, each group will have more disciples and we will distribute the members according to some qualities in you all that we think might benefit the groups. You will still need to be careful but with more people around, we do hope that you will be less vulnerable.

”Now, I will call the group leaders we have chosen one by one to step forward. After that, we will assign you the members of your team.” Elder Xing nodded at the disciples and then took out a list, starting to read it out from the very top.

The disciples had already calmed down after these announcements but when the third name was called, quite a few of them couldn't help but once again erupt in discussions.

Mei Chao Bing chuckled, patted Yun Bei Fen's back, and then went forward. It would always be like this. When they heard some inspiring speech about trust and brotherhood, they would all murmur how right the Elders were but as soon as something happened that challenged this fragile trust, they would revert back to their original selves.

Maybe that just was human nature.
