For this reason, many disciples were unwilling to treat the cannon fodders as ‘brothers and sisters’. It was not hard to imagine their anger when they found out that Fane was not only an informal disciple but an informal disciple from the batch of cannon fodders!
Internal criticisms about the Eleventh Elder’s rash behavior abounded. Was he joking? How could he choose trash like Fane as his last disciple? What does that say about the rest of them?
Many people could not suppress the anger in their hearts and began to mumble wildly.
“What was the Eleventh Elder thinking? Why would he choose trash like that when he could have his pick at any of those excellent formal disciples in front of him?”
“I bet he never wanted a last disciple at all so he is using this to get away with it!”
“Choosing a last disciple is no small matter. Even if the Eleventh Elder didn’t come in contact with us much doesn’t mean he should joke about something like this. Maybe he has his reasons, but I can’t for the life of me think of what they could be!”
Elder Godfrey scoffed lightly and was not affected by the Second Elder’s words. “Thank you for your concern. I’ll keep what you said in mind, but I remain firm with my choice. I get to choose who gets to be my last disciple.”
The Second Elder narrowed his eyes sinisterly. ‘So the good cop act doesn’t work on him eh? Maybe I need to use the bad cop act. But, why is he so persistent in making this trash, his last disciple? Is he trying to resist our efforts and go against me and the First Elder?’
