Meanwhile, Elder Liu realized he had wronged his former personal disciple and released him without saying a word.
Since he didn't steal the sect's sacred artifact, Elder Liu had no reason not to release him.
Moreover, the disciple in front of him was his most trusted personal disciple, whom he regarded as his own son. He had been in great pain and torment when he misunderstood him before.
Thankfully, none of this was real; it was just a misunderstanding!
Elder Liu helped him up, saying apologetically, "Get up quickly. You've been wronged. I was wrong to blame you. All the grievances you suffered today are because of me. I will definitely make it up to you."
The disciple, who had endured torture, slowly stood up and said excitedly, "I don't care about any compensation. As long as my innocence is restored, I will be satisfied. Nothing else matters."
"It's all my fault for misunderstanding you. Please don't be angry with me. If you mind, I'd like to make you my personal disciple. What do you say?" Elder Liu said with a slight smile and a sincere expression.
"This disciple doesn't mind at all and would be happy to continue serving as Elder Liu's personal bodyguard," Ming said with a slight smile and a serious expression.
Although he had been wronged before, now that he knew the truth, he no longer cared and let it go.
He would be very satisfied as long as he could clear his name.
Moreover, he can now regain his former position, which is a win-win situation for him.
Upon hearing this, Elder Liu said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I will make it up to you. To express my apology, I have decided to give you one hundred million top-grade spirit stones as compensation. Also, take good care of your injuries these days. Once you are fully recovered, come back to my side as my personal disciple."
"Thank you, Elder Liu. Actually, I can't blame you for the grievances I suffered. In that situation, I was indeed the most suspicious person. Anyone would have thought so. So I don't blame you. If I had to blame someone, I would blame the person who stole the sect's sacred artifact. If he hadn't stolen it, how could this whole series of events have happened?" The disciple smiled slightly and said earnestly.
After all, he was also responsible for losing the sect's sacred artifact. Elder Liu trusted him so much, but he failed to handle the matter well. What right did he have to resent others?
To be honest, he did resent Elder Liu at first, but later he realized that he couldn't really blame Elder Liu, so he stopped resenting him.
Fortunately, the storm has finally passed and all the misunderstandings have been cleared up.
"You are such a kind and good child. I was right about you. If you have any other requests, I will definitely fulfill them as compensation."
Elder Liu was very gratified to hear his disciple's words. It was rare for him to understand him after suffering injustice; it was truly touching.
The disciple smiled slightly and said earnestly, "This disciple does have a request, and I hope Elder Liu can grant it."
"Whatever your request, please speak freely. I will grant it if it is within my power," Elder Liu said with a smile and a sincere expression.
"This disciple hopes to witness the capture of the thief who stole the sect's sacred artifact. After all, I suffered because of him, and I want to see his fate with my own eyes to vent my anger," the disciple said respectfully.
Elder Liu smiled and said with great satisfaction, "I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just this. This is too easy. I agree. Your request is reasonable, and I have no reason not to agree. Are you sure this is your only request?"
"Yes, thank you Elder Liu for granting my request," the disciple said gratefully.
"No, it is I who should thank you. Thank you for your tolerance and generosity," Elder Liu said very seriously.
He felt extremely guilty and remorseful for wrongly accusing his personal guard. Now that he had the opportunity to make amends, Elder Liu was very happy, and his guilt lessened somewhat.

Before long, Gu Changqing brought the disciple back to the main hall of the Qingyun Sect.
When Elder Liu saw Gu Changqing return with his disciple by his side, he was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly, "Chief Gu is incredibly fast! You captured this person so quickly, you're amazing!"
Elder Liu had been frowning, but when he saw Chief Gu return with that person, he immediately beamed with joy and praised him endlessly.
"Is the sect's sacred artifact on this person?" Elder Liu changed the subject and asked with great concern.
This is what he cares about most; what he cares about most is where the sect's sacred artifact is. Capturing this disciple is only secondary.
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said calmly, "Elder, please be patient. The sect's sacred artifact is on him, and I have retrieved it intact."
After speaking, a wooden box appeared in Gu Changqing's hand, which he handed directly to Elder Liu.
Without saying a word, Elder Liu quickly took the wooden box.
He eagerly opened the wooden box and saw that the sect's sacred artifact was indeed lying there intact.
Seeing that the sect's sacred artifact had been returned intact, Elder Liu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was immediately relieved.
"Chief Gu is truly amazing. I knew that as long as Chief Gu took charge, there would be no problem and everything would be accomplished in no time." Elder Liu said with a beaming smile, praising him generously.
Gu Changqing had done him a great favor, and he found Gu Changqing increasingly pleasing to the eye, even wishing he could marry his daughter to him.
I didn't know what my daughter thought or whether she was willing, so I didn't dare to make a decision on my own and didn't say anything.
Even if his daughter doesn't want to marry him, he will still thank Gu Changqing properly.
Hearing Elder Liu's praise, Gu Changqing beamed with joy and said without any politeness, "That's right, there's nothing in this world that I, Gu, cannot do."
He was just an ordinary person, and naturally he was delighted to hear others' praise.
Then, Gu Changqing glanced at the disciple and, seeing that the disciple was still standing there dumbfounded, kicked him.
Caught off guard, the disciple suddenly knelt down, making intimate contact with the ground.
"You really have no sense of propriety. Instead of kowtowing and admitting your mistake when you see Elder Liu, you're doing this?" Gu Changqing said with a cold laugh.
"This was my first kiss! It's such a pity it's gone. I was hoping to save it for my beloved girl, but it seems that's out of the question now," the disciple said with a helpless and regretful expression.
