Chapter 24: Becoming a Disciple
South Wing Gate
Xu Chengze walked along the main road of the sect, looking quite proud. The deputy sect leader beside him also had a smile on his face and asked, "Master, what do you want to prepare for the guests?"
He narrowed his eyes and answered, "Don't you have an old lover in town? Ask her to send some girls over."
"But... according to legend, no one in the Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall is interested in women."
Xu Chengze shook his head, his tone somewhat unfathomable: "Do you think this torture chamber is still the same as before?"
The deputy sect leader was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "This subordinate is stupid, please explain clearly, sect leader."
"Ever since Yue Qiran's death, the Punishment Hall has become much more lenient in their actions. Even if this gift doesn't suit their tastes, it's no big deal."
He was silent for a moment, his tone filled with helplessness: "We are a small sect, how can we produce anything good? We might as well take an unconventional approach."
"Master, you are very thoughtful. I am far less considerate than you. I just don't know whether I should say it or not."
"explain."
The deputy sect leader said, "My lover's subordinates are not clean, and their appearance is not pleasing to the nobleman. They are not as good as those in our sect..."
Xu Chengze thought for a moment and nodded: "You go and arrange it."
"yes!"
The distinguished guest they were discussing was now deadlocked on the side of the road. The leader, with a rather grim expression, pressed his men, "Did you realize long ago that the woman was not dead?"
The man didn't care at all, and even his tone seemed lazy: "It doesn't matter. She has been burned to death anyway."
The leader was angered by his attitude. They had discovered the sect's spiritual weapon in the market not long ago. After tracking her, they found out that the "Little Seventh Girl" was still alive. Unfortunately, when they went to find her, she was dead again.
He gritted his teeth and continued, "She may not be on good terms with the sect. If you do this, it will cause trouble for the sect, do you know that?"
The man stood up straight and said sarcastically, "Why? After the eldest sister left, even an ordinary person in the Body Refining Stage will cause trouble for the sect?"
"Shut up! Xing Yue, are you trying to kill yourself?! Yue Qiran is a traitor, not some senior sister!"
Xing Yue seemed to be enraged by this. He unsheathed his sword and pressed it against the leader's neck: "Elder Sister will never betray me. Just say another word and I'll see!"
Following his action, everyone pointed their weapons at him.
At this critical moment, someone spoke coldly, "Xing Yue, don't forget, you were the ones who gave up on her in the first place. If you had done more, she might not have jumped off the cliff. Why are you being so hypocritical now?"
Xing Yue froze there and said nothing.
Everyone stepped forward to control him.
The leader stared at him gloomily and said, "It was Qinglan Tianzun who discovered her betrayal. If you question this, you are questioning Qinglan Tianzun. I will report this to the higher-ups when I return."
Xing Yue lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. The man who had spoken earlier said again, "Boss, you are making a fuss this time."
"I don't understand! I'm doing this for the good of the sect."
He smiled disapprovingly: "Not everyone is Yue Qiran, who can lead an ordinary small sect to one of the three major sects. Therefore, why bother about a body refining stage?"
The leader's face turned cold and he scolded, "Don't talk to those people. Our sect has reached its current status thanks to the supreme strength of Qinglan Tianzun and the talents of the three senior brothers and sisters in the main peak. What does that have to do with Yue Qiran? She has always done things to discredit the sect. If Tianzun hadn't been kind and caring about the two hundred years of master-disciple relationship, he would have expelled her long ago. How could he have given her the opportunity to do such a dirty thing!"
He immediately admitted his mistake: "Yes, the boss is right, I was deceived."
The imprisoned Xing Yue raised his head, his eyes filled with sorrow. Only two years had passed...
At this time, Yue Qiran was already on her way back, and she had no idea that someone had a conflict because of her.
During the journey, she not only wore a cloak, but also a mask, and even had Xi Jing put on some ugly makeup. Xi Jing had a very good reason for this: Qiu Shengyan was looking for a beautiful woman, and making herself ugly was the best way.
Han Yueshan also added: "Miss, don't go out for the short term. Wait until the Qiu Sheng Feast is over."
She naturally accepted their kindness. She also pretended to be curious and asked about the debt collection. However, when Master Zhao Xue heard the topic, he trembled and remained silent.
Xi Jing suppressed a smile and said, "It went very smoothly."
"What's this, Mr. Zhao?"
"It's okay, Second Brother is just being a scholar and feels that this is not a good thing to do."
Looking at Han Yueshan's gloating expression, she always felt that things were not that simple.
Perhaps Han Yueshan's expression angered him, Zhao Xue said, "Brother, don't be like this. I'm not the only one who got beaten."
Being beaten? Yue Qiran was a little puzzled, while Xi Jing burst out laughing.
Han Yueshan didn't care and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I have thick skin and flesh, and I'm used to being beaten every day. But you are not."
Well, it sounds like he's quite proud of the fact that he gets beaten up so often.
Xi Jing explained it with a smile, and Yue Qiran finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that it was Han Yueshan's idea to pretend to be attacked. Master Wen felt it was too humiliating, and since he couldn't think of any better way, he could only beat him up under the pretext of making his body look even weaker. Yes, the kind of beating that left his spiritual energy drained away. Meanwhile, Master Zhao Xue accidentally sprinkled chili powder in Master's eyes, causing Master to feel uncomfortable for a long time before he was beaten.
Xi Jing couldn't stop laughing when she thought of her master crying and beating people.
For a moment, the sadness brought by the boss lady’s murder dissipated a lot.
While playing around, the four of them successfully arrived at South Cliff.
Master Wen had also heard about the boss lady's story and sighed, saying, "It's a pity for such a loyal and righteous person."
Han Yueshan restrained his expression and responded.
The two junior brothers and sisters did not have much emotional ups and downs. At most, they felt a little regretful. After all, he was just an ordinary person whom they had met once. If he was not related to Yue Qiran and Han Yueshan, they might not have paid much attention to him.
While Yue Qiran was still considering how to respond to this matter, Sect Master Wen suddenly looked at her and asked, "Miss, do you have anywhere to go now?"
She shook her head: "No."
Sect Master Wen lowered his head and thought for a moment before solemnly saying something that surprised them: "Since you have nowhere else to go, why don't you join the Yisan Sect? It wouldn't be an insult to the young lady to have me as your disciple."
She was stunned. Isn't joining the Yisan Sect equivalent to returning to the world of immortal cultivation?
