No one questioned the legitimacy of what Prince Auten said. They nodded; they were angry about Darryl. Meanwhile, Elder Lerin was pleased and proud of Prince Auten.
Graham was one of the most powerful members of the Wudang Sect's younger generation. He was not as powerful as Darryl, but it was admirable of him to go after Darryl. Elder Lerin had no idea that Prince Auten made everything up.
When Prince Auten saw Elder Lerin's expression, he sneered quietly. 'What a bunch of idiots. They don't even know their seven grandmasters are all dead.'
He looked at the coffin before him, feeling proud of himself. He threw himself at the coffin and pretended to weep. "Master Jade, you died in such a horrible way. I was still waiting for you to seek revenge and justice for my father. Why did you abandon us so abruptly?"
Prince Auten put on a fantastic performance. It heightened the grief of those around him. Elder Lerin looked around him at that point and said, "Don't be too sad. We will avenge Master Jade. But, most importantly, we must first recover. In addition, the seven grandmasters are still with us. We have nothing to be afraid of."
Everyone nodded. Prince Auten's sly eyes twinkled as he said to Elder Lerin, "Senior Uncle, I believe the grandmasters were injured during their fight with Darryl. I wonder how they are doing now."
He looked worried.
Elder Lerin slapped his forehead and said, "We should send some elixirs and pills to them since the grandmasters had fought so valiantly."
He had a straightforward personality for an elder. He would say whatever came to him in his mind. Another elder spoke just as he finished, "Don't worry, Lerin. The grandmasters had been through a great deal. I am sure they are healing in the secret chamber right now. We should leave them alone. Furthermore, you are aware that the secret chamber is a restricted area. We can't enter without their permission."
Elder Lerin paused and scratched his head because the elder was correct. Without permission, not even the sect master could enter the secret chamber.
