Ruan Xinrou's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
This is how she always deals with Bai Ying, leaving Bai Ying speechless every time.
She was already used to being framed like this; the people here were so stupid that they would believe whatever she said. She never even considered the possibility of failure.
Who knew that Bai Ying, that bastard, would be so cunning this time, preparing the Qiankun Mirror in advance.
"Senior sister!" Ruan Xinrou was frantic and tried to stop Bai Ying, but Bai Ying had already projected the scene that had just happened.
Everyone clearly saw what Nguyen Tan Rou had done.
She didn't tell Bai Ying what she wanted the Purple Jade Ganoderma for, but kept emphasizing how important it was to her. Bai Ying naturally didn't want to give it to her, but when Fu Ziyi came, she said she had tried very hard to explain to Bai Ying the importance of the Ganoderma to the Lingxiao Sect.
Fu Ziyi didn't even bother to verify whether Ruan Xinrou was telling the truth. He immediately demanded that Bai Ying kneel down and even tried to kill her!
His attitude was so appalling that it was outrageous.
For a moment, everyone looked at Ruan Xinrou and Fu Ziyi with disbelief.
They hadn't suspected either of them at all, pointing all their suspicions at Bai Ying, but now...
Su Yu was momentarily stunned.
He saw Bai Ying strike Ruan Xinrou with her palm...
That slap wasn't forceful at all; it was just to close the door. It was only because Bai Ying didn't welcome Ruan Xinrou and wanted to kick her out.
Otherwise, a single palm strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator could shatter the door.
Such a blow could not have caused Ruan Xinrou to fall like that.
"Xinrou? Is this true? Why are you lying?"
Su Yu's voice trembled; he had never doubted that Ruan Xinrou would lie!
He felt an indescribable sadness in his heart, and his eyes were full of regret as he looked at Bai Ying.
No wonder Bai Ying asked him just now, "Did you see me with your own eyes as they described?"
Su Yu still thought he was absolutely right, but now it seems he was not only wrong, but terribly wrong.
The sect leader of Huayang Sect stated bluntly, "Fu Ziyi, I remember you are not a disciple of my Huayang Sect. It is not your place to discipline the disciples of my sect! Nor is it your place to kill them at will."
The sect leader of Lingxiao Sect also looked very grim. He said in a deep voice, "Ziyi, you have greatly disappointed me!"
Fu Ziyi was so shocked that he immediately knelt down.
"Master, no, I really thought Bai Ying knew how important the Purple Jade Ganoderma was to our sect!"
"so what?"
The righteous leader of the Lingxiao Sect said:
"So you think you can just steal it from me? Even if she doesn't want to give it to you, that's her right. Fu Ziyi, from today onwards, you are no longer the chief disciple of my sect. Go and become a nominal disciple!"
At this moment, not only Fu Ziyi, but all the disciples present were shocked.
No one expected the Lingxiao Sect to punish Fu Ziyi so severely.
That was a carefully cultivated chief disciple, yet he was directly demoted to a nominal disciple, which is even worse than the most ordinary inner disciple.
Fu Ziyi was completely dumbfounded.
Those watching around him had no idea what he had actually lost.
He lacked not only the title of chief disciple, but also countless resources from the sect for cultivation. His aptitude wasn't particularly outstanding; he was only made chief disciple because he was his master's first disciple and deeply favored by him.
Without those resources, he will quickly become just another ordinary person.
"Master! I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Fu Ziyi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his master. Seeing that his master did not react, he quickly bowed to Bai Ying.
The person who just said Bai Ying should kneel down is now kneeling down himself.
But before he could plead with Bai Ying, he was stopped by the Lingxiao Sect Master. They needed Bai Ying's help; how could they possibly make things difficult for her?
"The matter is settled. You may leave."
Fu Ziyi's eyes completely lost their light. He slumped to the ground.
After the Lingxiao Sect Master finished speaking, Bai Ying looked at her own sect's leader.
The sect leader of Huayang Sect was clearly in a dilemma. Since Lingxiao Sect had abandoned its chief disciple for the same mistake, he should, in principle, severely punish Ruan Xinrou, even if it was just for show.
However, Ruan Xinrou is Qin Hua Zhenren's most beloved disciple. If he were to punish her severely, Qin Hua Zhenren would surely fight her to the death after she emerged from seclusion.
So he said with a heavy heart, "Ruan Xinrou delivered the wrong message, which is not conducive to the unity of the sect. I will punish you by confining you to your quarters for half a year to reflect on your mistakes."
The sect leader's punishment seemed to last a long time, but it was just a matter of reflecting on one's mistakes behind closed doors; he didn't even have to go to the Cliff of Reflection.
Bai Ying's eyes clearly showed some disappointment. But when she thought of her master, she knew that the sect leader couldn't punish her too severely. Even if he did punish her severely, as long as her master came out of seclusion, he would bring Ruan Xinrou back.
After finishing this matter, the Grand Elder immediately looked intently at Bai Ying: "Young friend, may I have a word with you in private?"
Bai Ying nodded at him.
Upon hearing the Grand Elder explain his purpose, Bai Ying was quite surprised, as she was unaware that the pills she had refined had the effect of prolonging life.
In her past life, she had seen countless pills, whether they were refined or bought, but she had never seen any pill that could prolong life.
They would give Wang Qi the Qi-cultivating pills she had refined herself, simply because the quality of her pills was extremely high and they couldn't be bought outside.
Bai Ying took out several Qi-Nourishing Pills that she had refined earlier from her storage bag.
She held the Qi-Nourishing Pill in her hand and indeed felt a vibrant life force emanating from it.
Her magical artifact was not made with any special materials; even when she used it to refine pills in her previous life, she was unable to produce this kind of elixir.
The only thing that could imbue these pills with life force is that jade pendant!
Bai Ying was completely stunned. She hadn't expected the jade pendant to be such a powerful object; no wonder Ruan Xinrou insisted on going there.
Unfortunately, Ruan Xinrou didn't know how to make medicine in her previous life, so even if she had the jade pendant, it was of no use.
The Grand Elder was incredibly excited when he saw the Qi-Nourishing Pill that Bai Ying had taken out. His eyes shone brightly: "Young friend, could you sell it to me?"
Bai Ying handed all the Qi-Nourishing Pills to the Grand Elder, saying, "If you need them, Senior, we can give them to you."
The Grand Elder was overjoyed, practically jumping for joy as he held the pills. "Thank you so much, young friend!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out two storage bags to give to Bai Ying, but Bai Ying refused.
"Senior, if possible, could you allow me to visit your sect's library? I would be eternally grateful!"
Allowing an outer disciple into one's own sect's scripture pavilion is a violation of sect rules, but compared to extending the lifespan of a Nascent Soul stage expert like him, it's nothing.
Forget about sect rules, let them all go to hell.
"Do whatever you want, young friend."
