Mu Lingjiu felt that something was wrong and immediately bowed and said:

"This purple-gold earth dragon is timid by nature. If the elders use it as a mount, I'm afraid it won't achieve anything. I want to keep it by my side and raise it. I hope the Sect Leader will grant me this!"

The third elder sneered, "You know how to say it, you want a spirit beast in just a few words."

The fourth elder and the sixth elder also joined in.

"Master, you heard it too. This girl really wants to take possession of the sect's things. Just punish her directly."

The headmaster did not immediately respond to the elders' questions. His expression was gloomy and his emotions could not be seen.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "This item is indeed owned by the sect. If a disciple wants to take it, he needs the sect's approval. He cannot take it without permission."

Several elders looked happy.

Zi Yu immediately knelt on the ground, clasping her hands and saying, "Master, her actions are indeed audacious and will lead other disciples astray. It would be better to expel her from the sect directly as a warning to others."

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers began to discuss.

There were more disciples of the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Sixth Elder around, so they naturally formed an overwhelming force. They were all shouting that they wanted to expel Mu Lingjiu from the sect.

Mu Lingjiu didn't react much to this. She had a trump card. Her fourth uncle was cooperating with the sect, so there was no way she could leave the sect so easily. Besides, even if she left the sect, she could still live well elsewhere.

Mu Lingjiu stood quietly in the hall, looking very calm.

Mu Yufeng walked out of the crowd and came to Mu Lingjiu's side. He glanced coldly at everyone present, and then said to the headmaster:

"I didn't know the Xuanxian Sect's rules were so strict. Just wanting a demon beast will get you expelled from the sect."

"As an outer disciple, what are you talking about?" Zi Yu glanced at Mu Yufeng's clothes with disgust.

Mu Yufeng roared angrily, "So what if I'm an outer disciple? Sect Master should know that most of Xuanxian Sect's resources were taken from outer disciples. Does Sect Master still remember the gold spirit stone mine we mined recently?"

The headmaster's expression changed. He stared at Mu Yufeng's face and suddenly found that he had some similarities with Mu Yushang. In addition, the two men exuded a similar aura, so he roughly understood their relationship.

This person should be Mu Yushang’s brother.

Not many people know about the Golden Spirit Stone Mine. Even within the sect, only a small number of elders know about it.

There were also people discussing in low voices around.

"What mine?"

"I don't know. The mine is a secret of the sect, and only a few people know about it."

"What does the mine have to do with them?"

…

Zi Yu also said: "Don't talk about those messy things. This can't cover up Mu Lingjiu's crimes."

Mu Yufeng continued, "The spirit stone mine was discovered by Lingjiu, and we only confirmed it later. Can the great achievement of finding a spirit mine not be exchanged for a spirit beast?"

The headmaster glanced at Mu Lingjiu, his eyes still unclear, "How did you discover the spiritual mine?"

"My third uncle was being chased by Mu Lingfeng, and he used earth escape. I found that he was contaminated with mineral spiritual energy." Mu Lingjiu explained.

This was an accident.

The Sect Master weighed the pros and cons in silence before saying, "Although you have made contributions, taking the sect's demonic beast without permission is also a sin. Since our merits and demerits offset each other, I will not punish you. Simply return this purple-gold dragon to the sect, and never do such a thing again."

Mu Lingjiu lowered her eyes. The other party's cultivation was too high, and she was powerless to resist. The words of the strong were always irresistible.

She bowed and asked, "Can you please keep the purple-gold dragon within the sect and not give it away as a mount?"

"Okay." The headmaster agreed immediately.

The faces of several elders nearby fell.

They all wanted the purple-gold dragon as their mount, so they could show off their abilities. If it was given to the sect to raise, they would not be able to keep it to themselves.

"Forget it, let's end this matter here." The head of the sect waved his hand.

"Why does it end like this?" At this time, Yujiao and Fengyuexian appeared outside the door.

They gave Mu Lingjiu a reassuring look, and then Yu Jiao bowed to the headmaster and said:

"Disciple Yujiao pays homage to the Sect Master. I heard that my junior sister wanted a spirit beast, so she was invited to the Xuanxian Palace."

The head of the sect simply nodded, his eyes fixed on Yujiao.

Yu Jiao said respectfully, "That spirit beast was originally an earth dragon, and only today did it transform into a purple-gold dragon. Sect Master may not know that this earth dragon was brought back from the deep sea by our eldest brother, and it is not a sect possession."

The Sect Master had no idea this was happening. After all, there were so many demon beasts in the sect, and it was impossible for him to know every one of them. He usually didn't care about these insignificant things.

The other elders quickly refuted.

"Since you've joined the sect, it belongs to the sect!"

Yu Jiao tutted her words and said, "That Senior Brother Dilong is just fostered in the sect. He gives the sect some spirit stones every month, but he didn't say he would give it to the sect."

Even if Mu Lingjiu took it, the sect couldn't say anything.

The faces of the elders all darkened, but speaking at this time seemed a bit out of place for an elder.

The Third Elder turned to look at his disciple, who understood and said to the Sect Leader, "The Earth Dragon has transformed within the sect. It is no longer the Earth Dragon it once was. It now belongs to the sect."

The third elder nodded with great satisfaction.

Soon after, many voices expressed their agreement.

Yu Jiao sneered, "How shameless! Sect Leader, do you think so too?"

The head of the sect glanced at the elders with disdain. It was too ugly to eat for a spirit beast.

He waved his hand.

"Let's disperse. Since this thing belongs to Zhibai, let him decide."

This means to ignore the matter.

Zi Yu gritted her teeth in hatred, stamped her feet, and watched with bloodshot eyes as Mu Lingjiu took away the purple-gold dragon.

Zi Yu turned to a young man in a green robe standing beside her and said, "Second Senior Brother, why do you think Master favors her so much? Could she be related to Master?"

The young man in the green robes changed his expression. "What's the big deal? Master, isn't this handling things impartially? Originally, this thing didn't belong to the sect, so naturally, Master doesn't have to make the final decision."

Zi Yu obviously didn't expect Second Senior Brother to say this. She pursed her lips tightly and wanted to cry a few words, but found that the other party turned around and left.

Among all the headmaster's disciples, the second senior brother is the most difficult to get along with.

Zi Yu returned to her residence angrily and immediately contacted her father, Zi Chen, the head of the Zi family.

"Dad, that Mu Lingjiu is causing trouble in the sect again. Today, he stole my purple-gold dragon mount."

Upon hearing this, Zi Chen exclaimed, "What purple-gold dragon?"

"It's a spirit beast from the sect." Zi Yu sighed, "If she hadn't snatched it away, it would have belonged to me. Dad... I just feel so wronged."

"Dad is sorry for you, letting you be bullied in the sect. Otherwise... you can find a way to lure her out?" Zi Chen couldn't reach the Xuanxian Sect, so he could only lure people out and take action.

Zi Yu considered it carefully.

"Well, if I find an opportunity, I'll inform Dad. However, she has a clone of my eldest brother, so don't act alone and suffer any losses."

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Zi Chen said firmly.
