Kuyi Tulan's hysterical outburst made the people of the Alchemy Workshop uncomfortable. This was the first time they had seen their Chief Alchemist, Kuyi Tulan, so unhinged. They had never seen Tulan like this; even in the most dire situations, their Chief had never lost his composure to such an extent. Similarly, this was their first time seeing the Great Mentor so infuriated.
The people of the Golden Seats were at a loss, unsure whether to side with Kuyi Tulan against the Great Mentor or to maintain their respect for the Great Mentor and join in questioning Kuyi Tulan. They didn't know what to choose. Feeling an inexplicable unease, they could only stand rooted to the spot, like fools.
