Those present marveled at Yuan Ming's gentle and nurturing methods, and Wan Tianren, who had been silently observing and watching Yuan Ming clash with Hou Chou, also had a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Ever since he and Gu Xuanyang were severely injured by the White Bone Venerable, Hou Chou's behavior had become increasingly arrogant and overbearing. Relying on controlling the Ancestor Ape, he had expressed dissatisfaction with Wan Tianren more than once, always trying to replace him and take complete control of the East Sea Alliance to become the overlord of the East Sea.
For many reasons, Wan Tianren naturally couldn't afford to completely fall out with Hou Chou. After all, the other party had value and had not yet crossed his bottom line, but letting him be would have a negative impact on his own authority.
