Down the mountain, everyone was arranged to go home.
Wei Wenshi, having been away for many days to gain experience, is now back, and naturally wants to go home with her parents.
Of course, all the members of our sect must return to the mountain gate to live.
Especially for Xu Na and Xu Xiaofu, who were visiting the sect for the first time, Ye Liang and the other senior sisters took extra care of them, hoping that they could feel the warmth of the sect and feel like they were in their own home.
Meng Xiaoru should have followed her uncle Meng Gu, but things are different now. Meng Gu lives in a mine workers' shed, where all the other men live. It would be very inconvenient for a young girl like Meng Xiaoru to go and live there.
Meng Xiaoru also told Meng Gu that her senior sisters had invited her to stay on the mountain. She wanted to apologize to her uncle, saying that she couldn't catch up with him tonight and would have to go to the mine to see him tomorrow during the day.
Upon learning of this, Meng Gu was overjoyed and went to thank Ye Liang and the other senior sisters, who had taken great care of his niece along the way.
"Let's get going! What are you all arguing about!"
Sun Qingyu had long been annoyed by the large number of people welcoming Ye Liang back to the sect, and the fact that so many people were waiting for him. Now, he impatiently urged him on.
This guy really thinks he's something!
Ye Liang smiled and said to him, "Young Master Sun, you don't need to rush me. You left with Uncle Meng Gu. My sect's rules state that we don't take in men up the mountain, let alone overnight."
"What?" Sun Qingyu had never heard of such a rule before, and he couldn't believe it.
"Then aren't you a man? You can go up the mountain, so why can't I? If I don't go up the mountain, where will I live? Is this how your Bixian Sect treats its guests? I am the young master of the Wan Gu Sect, are you going to kick me out? Is this how you treat your honored guests? If word gets out, aren't you afraid that the martial arts world will laugh at you for treating your guests like this?"
Sun Qingyu was somewhat hysterical, feeling that Ye Liang had gone too far.
"Young Master Sun!" Meng Gu spoke before Ye Liang could, cupping his hands in greeting. "Young Master Sun, please don't be in a hurry. You're new here and may not know this, but the Bixian Sect is a women's sect, so it's not appropriate for them to take in men who stay overnight. As for Brother Ye, he's an exception."
"What makes him an exception! If he can be an exception, then I can be an exception!" Sun Qingyu truly didn't believe that Ye Liang was any more special than him.
This time, Ye Liang spoke personally, "I was formally accepted as a disciple of the Bixian Sect by my senior sister on behalf of our master, and after confirmation by our master. Since I am a disciple of our sect, I can naturally be exempt from coming up the mountain. Young Master Sun is not a disciple of our sect, and our mountain is full of women, so it would be inconvenient for you to come up the mountain tonight. If you wish to come up the mountain, you may. After dawn tomorrow, I can allow you to come up the mountain and pay a visit. This is already a great favor from me, so don't be ungrateful. Otherwise, I won't even let you into the mountain gate!"
"You!" Ye Liang's words clearly showed that he didn't take Sun Qingyu, the young master of the Eternal Sect, seriously. Sun Qingyu was furious. If he weren't young and beardless, his beard would probably be crooked with anger by now.
"Alright, young master, let's go to the mountain to pay our respects tomorrow. Once we do that, everything will be much easier to discuss!" The subordinates were subtly suggesting to young master Sun that he should be patient now and settle all scores later when they formally paid their respects at the mountain. They could then properly complain about Ye Liang and his senior sisters to their sect leader and other elders, and they would be able to vent their anger then.
"Then where will I sleep tonight!" Sun Qingyu accepted his subordinates' hints, but he still didn't want to give up. He made a final stand, unwilling to back down, and tried to create more difficult problems for Ye Liang.
"Well, I've come to pay my respects to the mountain. Your mountain gate doesn't allow outside men to stay overnight, so I'm here to pay my respects. I'm a guest from afar, so you have to arrange a place for me to stay! A mine isn't a suitable place to entertain guests."
Sun Qingyu sneered, feeling quite pleased with himself, and used the principle of treating guests from afar to pressure Ye Liang.
He wanted to hear how Ye Liang would respond to this question.
If Ye Liang goes too far, isn't he afraid that it will spread and that the Bixian Sect will be disrespectful to friends who sincerely came to pay their respects?
"How about I book an inn to treat you?" Ye Liang said with a smile.
What difficulty could this be for him!
"You, you're ruthless!" Even Sun Qingyu himself felt that if Ye Liang really booked an inn to entertain them, the martial arts world wouldn't criticize the Bixian Sect for mistreating its guests.
"I'd better go with Uncle Meng. I'll go check on our mine!" Sun Qingyu suddenly changed his mind, not wanting Ye Liang to be so smug and not have to accept the favor of booking the inn for him.
Ye Liang was happy to save himself the trouble of booking the entire inn, but there was one more thing he had to clarify: "Young Master Sun, you've got something wrong. That's not your mine; it's mine. Perhaps your Eternal Sect is used to treating the Meng family's property as your own and disposing of it on their behalf, but that won't work here. This isn't your Eternal Sect's territory; this is my Bixian Sect's territory. This is where I'm in charge!"
"You! Fine, fine! Then we'll deal with this tomorrow! Uncle Meng, let's go, lead the way! I'm tired, I want to rest early!" Sun Qingyu was really angry with Ye Liang, and actually disregarded his status and stormed off.
Meng Gu, looking apologetic, approached Ye Liang, bowed, and apologized before leaving.
"Young Master Sun!"
Sun Qingyu was about to leave when Ye Liang suddenly called him back.
Sun Qingyu felt a surge of smugness, thinking to himself that Ye Liang must have changed his mind. He immediately adopted a haughty demeanor and asked, "What, is there something else?"
Ye Liang coldly said, "I'm just warning you, within the territory of my Bixian Mountain, if anyone commits a crime, they will be executed without mercy. No matter who they are, their status, their family background, even gods cannot save them. I'm not joking. When the time comes, I will kill gods if they stand in my way, and I will destroy immortals if they stand in my way! Don't say I didn't warn you."
Ye Liang was worried about Sun Qingyu's character and feared that if he stayed, he would harm the local people.
If it were nighttime, and he went to harm someone's daughter, Ye Liang would feel sorry for the local people.
Therefore, any warnings that need to be given must be given!
Upon hearing this, Meng Gu looked at Ye Liang in surprise.
He couldn't believe that Ye Liang would so clearly imply and warn Sun Qingyu that if he dared to commit any crimes within the territory of the Bixian Sect, even the Wan Gu Sect couldn't save him.
That's the Eternal Sect, an ancient sect with a history of thousands of years. Faced with the oppression of such an ancient sect, the Meng family didn't even have the slightest courage to resist!
Ye Liang's ability to utter such bold words, which he himself wanted to say but could not, naturally surprised and impressed Meng Gu!
