This clearly showed her disdain for Fairy Red Moon's manner. Shen Wangshu smiled, picked up the spirited fox, and walked outside the cave. The wind and snow outside were still raging. Shen Wangshu's face returned to its cold and indifferent state. She carried Xiao Xuan and rode the sword light towards the direction of the Guangming Sect Master, but she heard a loud commotion in the distance.
She ordered the disciples from the sect who came to greet her to make way, and with a single step, she arrived at the sect's main hall in the blink of an eye. At this moment, a beautiful and aggressive female cultivator was arguing with the sect leader of Guangming Sect.
The sect leader of Guangming Sect looked extremely troubled, shaking his head no matter what she was fussing about.
"Master, you're being unfair!" Seeing that the Guangming Sect Master refused to agree to her request, the beautiful female cultivator stamped her foot and shouted.
"Nonsense!" The Guangming Sect leader didn't see Shen Wangshu, but angrily shouted at the female cultivator in front of him, "Hongyue, how dare you keep pestering me?! Haven't you caused enough trouble lately because of Yue Xizhi? Regardless of whether Yue Xizhi really made a mistake, even if he didn't, can't Lingxiao, as the Venerable One, punish him?!"
His gaze fell on Yue Xizhi, who stood silently to the side, his face pale but his posture still upright. He said with undisguised disappointment in his eyes, "Even if you have suffered grievances, you have never instigated your master to cause a scene! If this precedent is set, how will the Enforcement Hall act in the future?!" He did not expect that this young man would have such a temper.
When the time comes, will the sect's rules be based on whether a disciple is favored or not, rather than whether he or she violates the sect's rules?
If a disciple is favored and then complains to the sect leader about being punished, who among those favored disciples will still act according to the rules in the future?
The more favored and the more attention a disciple receives, the more cautious they should be in their words and deeds, and set a good example for other disciples.
Why does Yue Xizhi seem to thrive on chaos?
Because of this, the Guangming Sect leader's previous goodwill towards Yue Xizhi has diminished.
Yue Xizhi sensed his displeasure, lowered his eyes without speaking, but his body swayed slightly.
Shen Wangshu looked at him indifferently, a slight smile playing on her lips.
In his previous life, everyone respected Yue Xizhi because of the prestige of Lingxiao Daojun, and no one dared to offend him. Moreover, even if Yue Xizhi suffered injustice, Lingxiao Daojun was not the type to make a scene.
Unlike Fairy Red Moon, she only asks about the root cause. If it is Yue Xizhi's fault, she will not protect him, but if it is not Yue Xizhi's fault, she will definitely seek justice for him.
Because of her impartiality, Yue Xizhi dared not act biasedly, and thus she enjoyed an excellent reputation among Emperor Guangming.
But now that he has a different master, he probably won't be as law-abiding as he was in his previous life.
"Keep your disciples in check!" The Guangming Sect leader was also annoyed. He'd been arguing with Fairy Hongyue over this matter repeatedly these past few days, and how many important things had he missed? Although he was mediocre, he was still a sect leader. Seeing Fairy Hongyue still refusing to back down and making a scene, he said with an even colder expression, "You are not allowed to offend Daoist Lingxiao again! Who is Daoist Lingxiao, and who are you? I'm sparing your life only because you're a disciple. If you dare cause trouble again, I'll deal with you first!"
Although his harsh words were directed at Yue Xizhi, they were actually meant for the Red Moon Fairy.
"Does becoming a Nascent Soul mean you can act with impunity?" Fairy Red Moon shrieked.
"Why can't she?" The sect leader of Guangming Sect took a deep breath and asked coldly.
"Why is she able to?" Fairy Red Moon asked loudly.
"Just because she's a Nascent Soul cultivator, guarding the sect and preventing it from being bullied by other sects!" The Guangming Sect Master slammed his fist on the table in anger. "You all enjoy your comforts in the back, do you know how hard Lingxiao works? Three hundred years ago, when the various sects were vying for power, ten Nascent Soul cultivators gathered in the East Sea. The East Sea was ravaged, with half of its area covered in ice peaks, the sea receding and mountains emerging. Where were you then? If it weren't for Lingxiao, could Guangming Sect have enjoyed three hundred years of peace and countless resources during that sect division?! You're still dreaming!"
A sect without a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge will only become easy prey for other sects.
Do you really think everyone in the cultivation world is a kind-hearted person?
These sects are fighting against the heavens, and resources are limited. If they don't use powerful cultivators to compete for them, who will give them so many resources?
“But…” Fairy Red Moon was speechless, then stamped her foot and said, “This is what she should do!”
"What?"
"She was also a member of the sect. She received so many resources from the sect when she was cultivating. Shouldn't she repay them with her life?!"
The sect leader of Guangming Sect looked at her in disbelief.
He was somewhat puzzled as to why someone could speak of these things with such self-righteousness.
“The sect has nurtured her again, and she has repaid it a thousandfold over the years. A thousand years of peace and comfort, what more do you want?” He remained silent for a long time, his aged face becoming tired and sad. He staggered and slumped into a chair to the side, covering his face as if he did not want to see the Red Moon Fairy’s self-righteous face.
He understood that what Fairy Red Moon had revealed reflected the thoughts of many of his fellow disciples. Within the sect, while there might be awe for the ever-aloof Daoist Lingxiao, there wasn't much of a sense of identification. They generally felt that she was arrogant and aloof, looking down on others while enjoying the sect's offerings. He gave a bitter smile.
"You've enjoyed the sect's best resources, but what have you done for the sect?" he asked, looking up.
The Red Moon Fairy blushed and couldn't speak.
She glared at the sect leader of Guangming Sect with resentment, but didn't know how to refute him.
Although she is a Nascent Soul cultivator, she is not the strongest in the cultivation world, and of course she cannot do what Lingxiao Daozun did back then.
