Upon witnessing this scene, people began to disdain the man.
A dignified man over six feet tall, taking advantage of a few taels of silver using a child; was he relying on the presence of the Immortals here to prevent his child from dying of illness without cause?
The mother clung desperately to her child, whose eyes had lost focus due to a high fever, and the little hands weakly grasped at her clothes, calling out for her in a cat-like manner.
The woman sobbed bitterly, clutching her child as she knelt before the altar, pleading with the young Tianxi disciples to save her child.
Delayed by her heartless husband, she knew it was too late to find a doctor to reduce the child's fever, expel the cold, and cure the illness.
Even if saved, the child's mind would likely have been damaged by the fever; in her despair and helplessness, she could only seek the help of the Immortal Disciples.
This recruitment of disciples by the Xijian Sect was a major responsibility.
