Buddhist Master Xueting, who’d intervened to stop Yan Wushi that night at Chuyun Temple, was once a supporter of Northern Zhou. However, he’d supported the old regent Yuwen Hu, not the current emperor, Yuwen Yong. Buddhist Master Xueting came from Tiantai Sect and was the martial brother of Fayi, Tiantai Sect’s current leader. But Tiantai Sect itself favored Southern Chen, so the whole matter was wrapped up in the sect’s internal feuds.
