The First Elder glanced at Elder Yan and said casually, "The chaos in the Inner Academy this time started because of you. So, for the time being, you can take over the relevant duties of the vacant elders and help manage things."
Hearing this, Elder Yan immediately forced a bitter smile, but he accepted the assignment all the same. After all, it was his own arbitrary decision that had unnecessarily expanded the scope of the matter. Originally, Xiao Ze had only asked for those elders who had previously shown him favor. The First Elder clearly understood this, which was why he handed him this chore—it was obviously a punishment for acting on his own initiative.
Of course, this could hardly be considered a real punishment. While the elders held supervisory positions, the vast majority of day-to-day matters were handled by instructors, who could resolve most issues on their own. Elder Yan would only need to step in for the few things the instructors couldn't handle.
