Fang Ruotang's ulterior motives were known only to Xiao Jingzi, but even if Rong Xing and the others knew, they wouldn't care.
Of the six of them, only Gu Nancheng was a bit pleasure-seeking; the others were all capable of enduring hardship. Even Gu Nancheng cultivated for a considerable amount of time each day.
Fang Ruotang saw them idly because of the tacit understanding between the six of them. There was always one of them by her side, so she never bothered to investigate what the other five were doing when they weren't around.
Until the six people went up to the competition stage.
Their opponents were inner disciples. Cui Shixu was unlucky; as soon as he stepped onto the stage, he encountered someone who provoked him. The person's eyes were full of disdain, and his words were like soft knives.
"You are the sect leader's man, why do you also have to go up on stage to compete? Well, how about I admit defeat? After all, it doesn't seem right for me to win against you."
"Then you can go now!" Cui Shixu didn't indulge him at all, nor did he offer any explanation.
joke.
Fang Ruotang's man.
These words were not a humiliation to him, but an honor.
It's not like there aren't people in the sect who want to take shortcuts. The disciples selected by the Little Mirror are simply those with no major flaws in character; such petty schemes and tricks are not even considered.
Moreover, even in a sect like the Moon Asking Sect, there are plenty of righteous disciples who want to have something happen with them.
The Wenyue Sect is, after all, a righteous sect; it's just that their cultivation methods are somewhat unorthodox.
But the results are amazing! There are quite a few people who want to practice dual cultivation with them.
However, a small number of Wenyue Sect disciples have gone astray, abandoning martial ethics and the pursuit of win-win outcomes, instead thinking of draining their opponents dry.
If the Wenyue Sect discovers this situation, they will immediately expel the disciple from the sect, but this will not be able to salvage the Wenyue Sect's reputation.
"Hehe! I thought about it and it's still not a good idea. It will also prevent the other disciples from thinking that you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power."
Cui Shixu had little patience; he directly asked the small mirror.
Who is this person? Where did they originally come from?
[Zuo Zheng was originally a commoner of the Dayong Dynasty. He has good spiritual roots and dual attributes. Among the original disciples of the Tianyi Sect, he belongs to the more outstanding group and is the master's most ardent supporter.]
When Cui Shixu heard that the person was from Dayong, he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"Alright, let's get started!"
Cui Shixu spoke up before taking action.
Zuo Zheng immediately retaliated, and before three rounds were over, Zuo Zheng was kicked off the stage by Cui Shixu, who looked down at him from above.
"How dare you, a piece of trash like you, tell me you're going to let me go?"
Cui Shixu was so angry he laughed. Is this what the disciples of Dayong are like?
Is this still one of the top performers?
Not only do they lack any real ability, they also have an unusually large number of ulterior motives.
Zuo Zheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutched his chest, and lowered his eyes, not daring to express any resentment. He knew that everyone around him was watching him.
“Young Master Cui has already won, so why be so aggressive?”
Humans are naturally inclined to sympathize with the weak, and coupled with the difference in status between Zuo Zheng and Cui Shixu, the surrounding disciples subconsciously sided with him.
However, most people aren't stupid, because Fang Ruotang had already arrived immediately. She stood in front of Zuo Zheng and merely glanced at him disdainfully.
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, he released the recording stone.
"What, he's allowed to provoke people, but people aren't allowed to retaliate? Besides..." Fang Ruotang glanced around, "I'm the most protective person. Even if it was my man who was provoked and retaliated today, even if he had provoked others first, I would still stand up for him. I wouldn't reason with you, understand?"
The disciples around were restless, looking around anxiously.
Are they all mute?
"Understood, clear."
"Did you not eat? Your voice is so soft."
"clear!"
Everyone answered in unison, and Fang Ruotang then withdrew her oppressive aura.
"Guards, throw this person out and expel him from the Tianyi Sect."
Zuo Zheng was stunned. Ignoring his chest injury, he crawled towards Fang Ruotang using both hands and feet.
"Sect Master, no! I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will never do it again, please don't send me away, I'm sorry, Young Master Cui, I was wrong, I kowtow to you, I beg you to forgive me, I promise I will never offend you again, I really know I was wrong."
After asking Fang Ruotang, Zuo Zheng then asked Cui Shixu.
Cui Shixu didn't even glance at him, but stared at Fang Ruotang with tender and focused eyes. He hadn't expected Fang Ruotang to say that.
She wasn't there to reason with him; she was there to support him.
That's a really nice thing to say!
"Fine, let him stay! But this is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time, understand?" Cui Shixu agreed in a good mood.
Of all the disciples that Dayong accepted, whether male or female, very few did not harbor hostility towards the six of them; in fact, they all knew this in their hearts.
These people felt, to varying degrees, that they were not good enough for Fang Ruotang, or they wondered why they were good enough while they were not.
They either judge them from the perspective of a wicked mother-in-law, or they glare at them from the perspective of a love rival.
"Are you crazy? Why are you keeping him around? I'm making an example of him to show the other disciples, and to stop anyone from gossiping about you."
Fang Ruotang wasn't deaf, and with the small mirror around, she was well aware of the many voices in the sect that looked down on Cui Shixu and the other six.
There hadn't been a good opportunity before, but this time was different; this person bumped into all the disciples.
It's alright, he just likes you.
Does liking me give you the right to hurt me? Besides, I don't need that kind of liking. Liking me doesn't mean you should hurt the person you like.
Cui Shixu was already overjoyed because of Fang Ruotang's support, and he didn't care about anything else. Then he heard Fang Ruotang say that she liked him.
He was practically floating on air. Forget about arguing with Zuo Zheng, he even wanted to give him some wedding candy to thank him.
If it weren't for Zuo Zheng, how would he have had the chance to feel Fang Ruotang's high regard for him?
A minor punishment is enough; expulsion from the sect is too severe.
I want to protect you.
Fang Ruotang still felt sorry for them. Among the six, Longfeng had abandoned all his principles and followed her like this. She wasn't heartless. If she let others bully them in her territory, what kind of person would she be?
"But if we do that, everyone will be afraid of us, and no one will dare to associate with us." Cui Shixu said this deliberately, knowing how to say it to make Fang Ruotang change her mind.
He didn't want to break the sect's rules by expelling someone from the sect, as this would easily cause dissatisfaction among other disciples and be detrimental to the sect's future development.
As Cui Shixu had expected, Fang Ruotang immediately changed her tune after hearing that sentence, saying with dissatisfaction, "Fine! Brother Ziqi has pleaded for you, so I'll let it go this time. But if you do this again, I will never forgive you. If you truly love and respect me, then show some respect for my lover."
Fang Ruotang thought she had solved the problem perfectly, but she never expected that her support, while making her disciples no longer ignore Cui Shixu and the other six, and no longer gossip about them behind their backs, also earned them a new nickname—"vixen".
