In the conference hall of the Arrest Bureau, Mi Lan sat upright in the grand master's chair, looking at the two rows of stiffly seated subordinates before him, and sighed. "Not long ago, I made a trip to the Xingyi Sect, and what an elder said there left a deep impression on me."
Rising to his feet, Mi Lan walked forward a few steps, stopped in the center of the hall, clenched his fists, and recounted the circumstances of meeting Fan Youan, as well as the words Fan Youan had spoken.
Seeing the noticeably dimmed looks in his subordinates' eyes, Mi Lan said loudly, "After hearing that, I wasn't happy—very unhappy! In the empire, seniority and background are taken far too seriously. Perhaps true talent gets buried and pushed aside, and perhaps that even happens right here among us! Therefore, our model must change. I cannot tolerate the brothers of our Beilin City Arrest Bureau both bleeding and weeping, only to go out into the world and still be looked down upon."
