"Oh? Then tell me why?" the man asked, his eyes widening as if he were very interested in the question.
"In terms of martial arts, seniority, and contributions, Ji Yinglei is superior to her." Jiang Yingyue spoke her true thoughts, loosening her grip on the sword slightly. "Where did you hear this from?"
The man chuckled softly, staring intently at Jiang Yingyue as if trying to see right through her: "This is no small matter. People in the martial arts world will find out even if they don't want to."
"Think what you want." Jiang Yingyue stood up, picked up the Qingyun Sword, and prepared to leave. She had already stayed in Qiyun Town long enough; the people from the sect would be here soon. However, thanks to this man's words, she seemed to have a place she wanted to go:
Hangzhou.
She yearned for freedom and disliked being bound, yet she had never truly left this small world. Every time the thought of leaving crossed her mind, she would persuade herself to return by saying, "My life is pretty good right now."
So at least now, she can finally leave this place.
Inside the Bright Moon Sect, Jiang Yuan's face was frighteningly gloomy. Jiang Yingyue had actually run away from such an important succession ceremony, fleeing like a coward or a weakling. How could he have such a daughter?
This girl wasn't someone he could sever ties with overnight. On Jiang Yuan's desk lay the farewell letter he had found in Jiang Yingyue's room. Jiang Yuan hadn't even finished reading it; he was afraid to see the fact that his daughter hated him.
"Sect Master." Ji Yinglei had already appeared outside Jiang Yuan's house without her noticing. After gesturing for her to come in, Jiang Yuan sighed heavily.
Ji Yinglei gave a simple bow: "Sect Master, we have not yet found Junior Sister in Qiyun Town."
Jiang Yuan nodded without speaking. After this incident, even he was unsure how to face his eldest disciple. To be honest, without Ji Yinglei, the Bright Moon Sect would not have prospered so much over the years.
But that was the result of Lei Mingjian's choice, Jiang Yuan told himself.
"Sect Master, there is something I must say." Ji Yinglei suddenly spoke, not giving Jiang Yuan a chance to reply. "Actually, Junior Sister has always longed for freedom, as you know. It's not that she is completely unwilling to take over the position of Sect Master, it's just that everything happened too fast for her and she finds it hard to accept."
“If you could patiently teach her how to behave as a father, the outcome would be different.” Ji Yinglei suddenly bowed deeply. “Therefore, I would like to implore the sect leader not to arrest my junior sister any further. I have already written a letter, and she will definitely return once she sees it.”
Yes, Jiang Yingyue and Ji Yinglei are as close as sisters. They have a special way of exchanging letters, so that they can receive each other's letters no matter where they are. Ji Yinglei understands her, which is why she is so sure that Jiang Yingyue will return to Mingyue Sect after seeing her words.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the farewell letter on the table, then looked up at Ji Yinglei: "Yinglei, aren't you sad that you couldn't inherit the position of sect leader?"
Ji Yinglei did not look up: "For the sake of the Bright Moon Sect, I have no complaints."
As soon as they finished speaking, a commotion arose outside. The two immediately went out to investigate and saw a middle-aged man in white robes with a rugged face standing directly in front of the main hall of the Bright Moon Sect. Behind him were a large group of white-robed disciples.
"Bai Yu." Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth as he uttered his name. This man was none other than the current leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. The feud between the two could not be summed up in a few words. "The Bright Moon Sect does not welcome you. Leave immediately."
