After some time, a group of people were huddled together in the corner, all of their faces a pale shade, while Chen Qian and another female Elder were shivering in fright.

Yang Kai’s face was filled with shock as he looked towards the beautiful figure dancing about in the large hall with an Emperor Artifact longsword in her hand. After gulping with much difficulty, he asked seemingly to the Heavens, “What kind of situation is this?”

That figure was moving about without inhibition, staggering about with a bottle of wine in her hand. Her eyes were scarlet red, while she would cheer to herself from time to time, take a swig of her wine, before complimenting how good the wine was. Her emotions flowed out without restraint, as flower after flower of sword patterns formed as her longsword shook, radiating a chilling glow in all directions.

Di Rong replied in a bitter tone, “Junior Brother Yang, since you’re still quite new here, you’re not aware of the Three Great Taboos of our temple. I never imagined that you would witness this so soon after you become an Elder. This is truly… something to be celebrated.”

Yang Kai gawked, “Three Great Taboos? What Three Great Taboos?”

Chen Qian replied in a soft voice, “Temple Master’s birthday, Senior Brother Qiu’s fury, and… Senior Sister Gao drinking alcohol!”

“What kind of taboos are these?” A look of astonishment appeared on Yang Kai’s face before he looked back to the person before them. At this moment, he felt that the noble and pure image he had of that lady had completely collapsed and disintegrated. The lady he was looking at right now was basically a mental patient! Cleaning away the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead, he replied, “Why does Senior Sister Gao turn into a different person after drinking alcohol? Could it be that she has been taken over by some malicious spirit?”

“It isn’t that serious…” You Kun hastily waved his hand, while his expression turned strange, “It’s just that Junior Sister Gao… could never handle her alcohol.”

“How can that be? For better or worse, Senior Sister Gao is a Second-Order Emperor. No matter how strong the alcohol is, she would be able to easily remove its effect just by circulating her Emperor Qi. How does it turn into this?”

Chen Qian sighed, “It’s all due to Temple Master’s negative influence.”

“How does it concern Temple Master?” Yang Kai was utterly surprised by her reply and felt that what he had seen and witnessed today had caused his outlook of the world, life, and his values to collapse.

Chen Qian replied, “Senior Sister Gao was brought up by Temple Master from childhood. You should know about this, right?”

“Yes. I’ve faintly heard about this,” Yang Kai nodded his head.

Chen Qian revealed a sad and depressed look, “When she was young, Temple Master made Senior Sister Gao drink a number of times, and each time, it was until she was totally drunk. This culminated in one incident where she drank too much and turned crazy for a few days and nights before finally returning back to normal. After that, Senior Sister Gao always becomes like this whenever she touches alcohol.”

In this short story, one could sense the miserable childhood Gao Xue Ting had experienced. This truly made anyone who heard it feel sad and burst into tears.

“That’s… utterly heartless! It makes one bristle with anger!” Yang Kai cursed out in extreme anger, causing a wave of commotion that incited the group of Elders to nod their heads in succession, looks of contempt and disdain present in their eyes that were aimed towards that Temple Master of theirs.
