After looking at the Liuying Jade and listening to Lianyi's explanation, Master Fu Feng had basically made his own judgment. In his opinion, Lianyi was too easy to talk to, otherwise how could he be entangled by an ordinary inner disciple.
"Elder Bai, you are good in everything except being a little indecisive. If you had refused more directly, you wouldn't have been pestered by the inner sect disciples."
Lian Yi smiled bitterly and said:
"Peak Master Fu, you are a peak master trained by the Yuntian Sect. I, who joined halfway, naturally cannot compare with you. Besides, it is not easy for a sect to train disciples. I just rejected him tactfully a few times to let him see his shortcomings. It's nothing. It's just that it was misinterpreted by some people. Bai must be uncomfortable."
"Forget it, you have good intentions. Once this matter is dealt with, you can go into seclusion to consolidate your cultivation so as not to affect your mood."
Fu Zuotian understood the meaning of Lianyi's words, so he didn't say much.
Zhang Fan sent the photo stone to the Law Enforcement Hall. Feng Shuying's face turned pale after seeing the photo stone. Even a blind person could see that Lian Xiye wanted to get close to Elder Bai, but Elder Bai had repeatedly declined.
Especially since she learned from the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall that Elder Bai had just successfully advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm, she had really hit a wall this time. She wondered if Lian Xiye would blame her when he came out of retreat and knew about this.
A day later, Zhang Fan went to see Lianyi with a new identity jade token and informed her of the results of the Law Enforcement Hall's handling.
"The main culprit Feng Shuying was punished to go to the Cliff of Repentance for three years of seclusion. The remaining disciples who spread rumors were also fined spirit stones and given additional sect tasks according to the circumstances. What do you think, Elder Bai?"
"I have no objection, as long as it complies with the sect's regulations."
Lianyi said this very generously, and gave Zhang Fan a Thousand Mile Teleportation Talisman as a fee for running errands.
Zhang Fan took the life-saving teleportation talisman with a smile and left Lianyi's cave.
Previously, Master Fu Feng suggested replacing Lian Yi’s side peak with a larger one, but she declined. She didn’t plan to stay in the sect for a long time. After the competition was over, Lian Xiye would probably find out that he had no hope of becoming Lian Yi’s disciple, and he would leave the sect to look for opportunities.
She wanted to follow the other party and destroy his opportunity. If she was too close to the main peak, it would be detrimental to her actions.
Lianyi pretended to be in seclusion, but she was actually burning the sect's books that she had read. Although as a guest elder, she still could not see the core high-level skills, but these marginal things were also worthy of her study. This was just a process so that she could justify herself after returning to the demon clan.
Not long after Lian Yi went into seclusion, registration for the sect competition began. On the last day of registration for the competition, Lian Xiye finally came out of seclusion. His cultivation at the late Jindan stage had not yet been fully restrained, but he registered at the last minute.
Seeing how quickly Lian Xiye's cultivation improved, the surrounding disciples all had some ideas in their minds. Immediately, fellow disciples with whom he had a good relationship told him what had happened during his retreat, especially the things about Elder Bai Lianyi and Feng Shuying.
Lian Xiye frowned after hearing this. The pity and love he had for Feng Shuying disappeared in an instant. The other party was not helping her, but was trying to sabotage him. Now that this had happened, his reputation among the inner disciples was ruined, and his plan to become Elder Bai's disciple would probably be in vain.
“I really didn’t know about this matter, and I don’t know how Junior Sister Feng could have such a misunderstanding. However, I think it is true that I want to take Elder Bai as my master. It’s just that Elder Bai is not trying to trick me with the matter of taking me as his master as the rumors say. I fought for the opportunity to take him as my master myself.
In this sect competition, as long as I can enter the top ten of the Golden Core Stage, I can become Elder Bai's disciple."
Lian Xiye knew how to make choices. Since Feng Shuying was already stuck in the Cliff of Repentance and couldn't get out, then what he, the person involved, said was his business, so he chose the statement that was most favorable to himself.
Lian Xiye's words were consistent with the words from the Law Enforcement Hall, and immediately a smart person said:
"Brother Lian, I think that Junior Sister Feng admires you and saw that you were so eager to become Elder Bai's disciple. She spread those rumors out of jealousy. Does this count as love turning into hate?"
Lian Xiye frowned and said:
"I want to become Elder Bai's disciple because of his superb skills in making talismans. I don't deny that I have my own little thoughts. It is definitely different to have a master to teach you in the inner sect or not.
Moreover, it is easy to get started with talisman making, with low investment and high income. If I can learn it, it will make my future path of practice smoother.
I am just an ordinary inner sect disciple. I have come to where I am today through hard training. The further I go in my training, the more resources I will need. I am making plans for the future, so there is nothing wrong with admitting this.
As for Junior Sister Feng, she is my junior sister in the outer sect. We completed several sect missions together. We haven’t had much contact since I was promoted to the Golden Core stage. Besides, I don’t have any romantic feelings for her. We are just friends in the same sect.
I hope that everyone will stop spreading these groundless words in the future, and it would be better to focus more on spiritual practice.
My cultivation is still a little unstable, so I will go back and consolidate it first."
Lian Xiye bowed and said goodbye to everyone, then left the registration point for the sect competition.
Lian Xiye's words did restore some of his reputation. At least he admitted that he had selfish motives in becoming Feng Shuying's disciple, but it was also achieved through his own efforts. His interactions with Feng Shuying were indeed limited to the outer sect. Even when they were in the outer sect, no fellow disciples had ever seen the two of them alone together.
So some people believed what Lian Xiye said, and only those with a more ruthless vision thought that Lian Xiye was a hypocrite and automatically distanced themselves from him.
When Lianyi learned this, he couldn't help but sigh, he was indeed the son of luck, he appeared in front of people and explained a few words, and he was able to recover some of the decline. It seemed that he would need to work harder to wear down his opponent's luck.
"Master, is this person so difficult to deal with? How about letting Duoduo and I do something behind his back? Anyway, his current cultivation level is not high."
Tornado said while nestling in Ripple's arms.
After pretending to be in seclusion, Lianyi entered the space and tidied it up. Then she was entangled by Xuanfeng and Duoduo, and the two insisted on going out to relax.
Because there was no spiritual energy in the previous mission plane, the two of them could only stay in the space. This time, seeing that the master could enter and exit the space, they knew that this plane had spiritual energy, so they insisted on coming out for a walk.
Lianyi thought that it was a rare opportunity to come to the plane of cultivation, so she brought the two of them out. However, Xuanfeng and Duoduo just wandered around Fufeng secretly and did not dare to go anywhere else. The Yuntian Sect had big bosses, and it would be terrible if they were discovered.
Xuanfeng and Duoduo also knew the goal of their master's mission this time, so they were very concerned, secretly paying attention, and even volunteered to go into battle, hoping to complete the mission as soon as possible.
“Let’s wait and see what happens. He is a man of luck, and it would be disadvantageous to me if I confront him rashly.
In the previous life, this innocent little fox sacrificed his life, sacrificed his demon pill, and gave Lian Xiye the opportunity to sneak into the demon tribe. This time, I will never allow such a thing to happen." (End of this chapter)
