What nobody expected was that Senior Brother Liu actually agreed to the newcomer Hou Niao's advice, "Start with the easy tasks before moving on to the difficult ones."
Since Hou Niao joined the team, everyone could see that he and the head supervisor Liu Yishou were at odds. It was also evident that Hou Niao had significant backing, and Hu Daoist might not be his only support.
In the Daoist Sect, this mutual restraint was not at all unusual. In various contexts, it had become a part of the sect's behavioral norms. They highly esteemed such a structural system, believing that such a collective would be more solid and less prone to serious errors.
So when Hou Niao showed his defiance, no one thought it was wrong; instead, they believed that the Inner Warehouse had been too accommodating by not pushing forward someone like him to counter Liu earlier.
