The Fang Market operates under an elder council system, with the actual management in the hands of the relevant functional departments, which is why Elder Bai can't command Steward Gao.
However, the Chief Elder remains the head of the Fang Market, there is no doubt about this.
In most Fang Markets, the Chief Elder is a high-rank cultivator, but there are quite a few who are at the intermediate level.
The Chief Elder of the Mingsha Fang Market is at the fifth stage of the intermediate level, on par with Elder Bai.
Feng Jun and the others were reluctant to deal with the Fang Market, leaving Du Fanghui to manage things, while the rest returned to Lantern Town the same day.
However, Kong Ziyi stated that while she could understand whatever decision the Fang Market made, anyone who wanted to spare Elder Bai was her enemy.
