"What about those Grand Elders, then? Don't tell me they also went off to act as protectors?" The Captain frowned and asked.
"Reporting to Protector, those Elders and the Grand Elders have all gone to guard the inheritance bearer. The Ancestor has decreed that the inheritance bearer concerns the lifeblood of our Moonwater Tribe, and the other clans will definitely seize the chance to come assassinate them, so they must be protected at all costs!" the Guard replied.
The Guard Captain was so angry he actually laughed. "Then tell me, where are those True Disciples? Have they also gone to guard the inheritance bearer? Fine, even if I accept that, what about the Core Disciples? Why is there only a small number of Core Disciples here?"
"Reporting to Captain, that is indeed the case!"
