"It seems to be the Fifth Elder!"
"It's the Fifth Elder. I recognize the sword in his hand!"
"The Fifth Elder cares the most about us common people. He will definitely help us!"
"That's right, if the Fifth Elder hadn't risked his life to protect us these past few days, we wouldn't know what kind of harm we would have suffered at the hands of the evil spirits!"
"Thank God, the Fifth Elder has come out. Now our child is saved!"
…
The crowd was chattering, and before the Fifth Elder could say anything, he received a wave of enthusiastic praise from the people. He couldn't help but feel a little elated, so he didn't rush to interrupt the people's praise of him. After enjoying the feeling of being admired and loved by the people, he raised his hands and pressed them down.
This is a gesture to signal everyone to be silent.
The chaotic crowd shut their mouths one after another, and silence fell in an instant, as if everyone had been cast under a silencing spell.
This feeling of one person giving orders and having thousands of people obey is really great. No wonder people are scrambling to get to a high position.
The fifth elder looked at the people below who all had their mouths tightly shut, and his heart was filled with excitement. He became even more determined to ascend to the position of head of the family.
If he wants to reach that high position, he must first clear the big obstacle in his way.
Thinking of this, the Fifth Elder mobilized his spiritual power, and his voice, like a huge bell, reached the ears of the people below.
"Everyone, calm down for a moment and listen to me for a moment, okay? I understand how you feel. I'm just as furious as you are right now. I wish I could immediately slay those inhumane evil spirits and rescue all your children! Unfortunately... Alas!"
The Fifth Elder suddenly sighed, touched the mask on his face, and said with guilt in his tone, "It's a pity that I've been injured repeatedly recently. The Second Miss feels sorry for me and is afraid that if I force myself to save those children, something will happen. She won't allow me to kill the evil spirits again... Everyone, I'm useless. I'm sorry for betraying everyone's trust in me."
After he finished speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed deeply to the people in the square.
The implication is: You see, it’s not that I don’t want to save your child, it’s the second daughter of the Shen family who doesn’t allow me to save your child. If you want to blame someone, blame the second daughter, but don’t hate the wrong person.
