Yanheng Mountain, the main hall of Tianyan Sect.
After the training was over, all the disciples returned with Shen Jinggu, and Ning Wan was naturally among them.
As for Qingniang, since she didn't know where to go, they took her back to Tianyan Sect and temporarily settled her there. If she wanted to stay, they would naturally not expel her, and if she wanted to leave again in the future, they would not interfere.
Chen Jinggu did not try to be clever and hide the matter of the fox demon. After reporting on his experience, he also told her about Qingniang.
He knew that these things could not be hidden from his master, so he did not defend himself too much, but just told the general story of Qing Niang and Xu Shan.
When the disciples heard Senior Brother Shen reveal everything about the fox demon, they couldn't help but gasp. They weren't afraid of being implicated and punished, but they were afraid that the master would blame Senior Brother Shen for not saving the dying and punish him.
However, just when they were getting nervous, fearing that the Sect Leader was going to put Senior Brother Shen in solitary confinement or even punish him with a whip, the Sect Leader sitting on the high platform had no intention of asking any more questions. He just waved his hand and let the matter go.
What Ning Zixiu admired most about Chen Jinggu was that he knew how to handle current affairs, could clearly see the current situation, and could make his own decisions on major issues. He was not the kind of person who stuck to the old ways and did not know how to adapt.
If he was blinded by one thing and had only a sense of courage, and let the new disciples in the sect fall into danger just to save a mortal with impure nature, he really would not have given up like this.
Instead, they will lock people up and give them a lecture. Not everyone in this world is worth saving, not everyone deserves a chance to make amends, and not everyone can be as pure and kind as they think in the ideal state.
Fortunately, he did not misjudge the person. This trip not only eliminated the monster in Chongtou Village and ensured that the disciples of His Highness escaped safely, but also allowed some disciples with unstable Taoism to return to Taoism, and even saved one person from suffering.
Seeing that the Sect Leader did not blame Senior Brother Shen, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, among the sects they had heard of, Tianyan Sect was a rare one that would not directly call for the killing of all monsters.
If other sects encountered the four-tailed fox, they would not give her a chance to speak, nor would they cast a spell on her to make her speak human language. Instead, they would directly kill the monster, obtain the elixir, and win the rich rewards from the sect.
Ning Zixiu didn't care about the surprise of the other disciples. He looked at the girl standing in the hall, then glanced at his obedient disciple. Seeing that the other party looked normal, he finally felt relieved and thought: It seems that his daughter didn't do anything too outrageous this time.
However, after this experience, they should have developed some feelings for each other, so it can't be considered as his daughter's unrequited love, right?
Ning Zixiu's true emotions were hidden very deeply, with a slightly flat mouth and eyes that showed neither joy nor anger. No one would have thought that under such a solemn expression, he was actually hiding a heart that was anxious about his daughter's lifelong affairs.
Thinking of this, Ning Zixiu, with an expressionless face, sighed in his heart and felt a little guilty.
If even going through trials and tribulations can't improve relationships, then he really doesn't have any other tricks that are worth using.
After all, there were still a group of disciples watching him, so Ning Zixiu naturally didn't dare to be distracted for too long. When he saw that the time was right, he stood up and said: "I hope that you can all feel something, gain something, and realize something from this experience, rather than just muddle through life and go with the flow."
"As the head, I don't expect every disciple to ascend, but I do hope that you can learn and achieve something, rather than wasting your time."
"It's just that the suffering of cultivating immortals is beyond the endurance of ordinary people. You have only been in the sect for half a year, and your parents are still at the foot of the mountain. But after a hundred years, only a handful of yellow earth will be left."
"As time goes on, the only people who will be with you are your fellow disciples who share the same ideals. I hope you won't harbor prejudices against one another. Everyone has their own priorities and specializations. Stay true to your Daoist aspirations and remember your original intentions when you joined the sect."
After a few short moments, Ning Zixiu spoke again. His calm tone was like the sound of Buddha, easily soothing people's restless hearts. However, it was inevitable that some people would tremble in their hearts, feeling annoyed and guilty about it.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. The rest is up to your own luck."
Ning Zixiu glanced at His Highness Chen Jinggu, then glanced at Nannan beside him, and coughed lightly, "You have all worked hard during this training. Go back and have a good rest. You can skip the morning classes for the next three days. You can continue to attend classes after three days."
Although there was no exclamation when these words were spoken, the group of people who heard them were already smiling happily.
Ning Wan, who had been a little distracted, suddenly came to her senses. Before she could be happy, she heard her father, the head of the sect, say something else.
"Ning Wan, don't dream. You go to morning classes as usual. Day by day, the number of days you attend classes is almost less than the number of days your junior sisters and brothers take leave. How can you be so embarrassed?"
"If you still can't break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining by early spring next year, you should go into seclusion."
Ning Wan's whole body froze. She looked at the head sect leader standing in front of the hall. Her nose felt sore and she was about to speak when she was silenced.
Ning Zixiu knew very well what Ning Wan was thinking. She was just trying to act pitiful and make him take back his words.
It was a rare moment when he was hard-hearted and didn't even call out to his daughter, just to let his precious daughter know the seriousness of the problem.
If it were in the past, he might have just turned a blind eye, but things are different now. Shen Jinggu can deceive others but not him. His realm should have broken through to the Golden Core stage long ago, but he is obviously suppressed by himself.
