"Stop! You've pulled this stunt for no reason. Why should you just leave as you please? Do you think I deserve to be bullied like this? If I were a pushover, you wouldn't be letting me off so easily now, would you?"
After saying that, Nan Qu said to the sect leader of Xuanjian Sect: "Ling Ling first harmed me, then took it upon herself to register me for the sect's internal competition, and now she has even invited these people here to slander me."
"Sect Leader, this isn't her first offense; it's her third. As the saying goes, 'There's a first and a second time, but not a third or fourth.' She disregards the bonds of camaraderie, bribing fellow disciples and colluding with outside sects to frame them. Such a person doesn't deserve to be in our Xuanjian Sect."
Upon hearing Nan Qu's words, the Xuanjian Sect Master frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Nan Qu continued, "Sect Master, if we let her off easily this time, the sect's rules will become meaningless in the future, and the disciples will find it difficult to believe. Although I don't crave the pleasure of punishing her, justice resides in the hearts of the people, and we cannot allow her to act so recklessly."
The sect leader raised his head, looked at Nan Qu, and slowly said, "What you say does make some sense. Ling Ling's behavior is indeed too arrogant and disregards sect rules. But she is, after all, a disciple of my Xuanjian Sect, and there may be some hidden reasons behind her actions that are not yet clear." Nan Qu sneered, "Sect leader, what hidden reasons could compare to her repeated attempts to frame her fellow disciples? If everyone uses hidden reasons as an excuse, wouldn't the Xuanjian Sect be in chaos?"
The surrounding disciples began to discuss the matter, most expressing their support for Nan Qu and believing that Ling Ling must be punished accordingly. Seeing this, the sect leader knew this matter could not be decided hastily. "Nan Qu," he said, "please do not agitate. I will carefully consider this matter and give you a fair answer. I will convene the elders to discuss and thoroughly investigate Ling Ling's actions, including the reasons for her rapid advancement and all details related to this incident."
"What about the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect? He covets my divine beast so much that he even sent people to search my room. Aren't you going to do anything about that?"
The sect leader of the Xuanjian Sect hesitated for a moment: "This..."
Seeing the sect leader hesitate, Nan Qu felt a surge of dissatisfaction. "Sect leader, the Beast Taming Sect's actions today clearly show that they don't respect my Xuanjian Sect. They openly framed and searched our territory. If we let them off so easily, how will our Xuanjian Sect save face? If other sects follow suit in the future, our sect's prestige will be completely destroyed."
The sect leader's expression was solemn. He knew that this matter was extremely difficult to handle, as there was internal strife among the sect's disciples on one side, and external conflict with the Beast Taming Sect on the other. "I will negotiate with the Beast Taming Sect myself and make sure they give my Xuanjian Sect an explanation. However, this matter involves the relationship between the two sects, so we cannot act rashly and must consider it carefully."
Nan Qu smiled and asked only one question: "If I hadn't stood up and argued back today, what would have happened to me?"
The Xuanjian Sect's motto remained silent, but Nanqu scoffed, "What use is a sect that can't get the justice it deserves when bullied by its own fellow disciples, and has no one to stand up for it when humiliated by other sects?"
Xuan Yi's eyes darkened: "Don't talk nonsense."
The librarian standing nearby also shouted, "Girl, I'm here. I'll definitely get justice for you. Don't talk nonsense."
Nan Qu knelt directly in front of Xuan Yi: "You are a good master, but you don't have a good sect. Although I like you very much as a master, I don't plan to keep this sect."
Everyone gasped in surprise. What did this mean?
At this moment, Nan Qu stood up and said, "Since my sect can't protect me, there's no need for me to stay here. From today onwards, I am no longer Dongfang Shuanglan of the Xuanjian Sect." After saying that, Nan Qu crushed her disciple token.
"Since the Dongfang family doesn't want me, then I won't want the Dongfang family either. From now on, my surname is Nan and my given name is Qu. I won't rely on the Dongfang family or the Xuanjian Sect. Let's see if I can survive in this world."
As Nan Qu was about to leave, Bai Cao suddenly spoke up, "Since young friend Nan Qu is no longer a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, would you consider joining my Medicine Sect? I haven't taken on any disciples in a long time, and I find you pleasing to the eye. Would you like to consider it?"
Nan Qu glanced at Xuan Yi. She actually thought Xuan Yi was a good master, but it was a pity.
“I can go to the Medicine Sect, but I don’t want to become an apprentice there. If you don’t mind, I’m willing to be an outer disciple of the Medicine Sect.”
Bai Cao glanced at Xuan Yi, then smiled and said, "Alright. It seems you're a person of deep affection. Losing you is their loss."
The others nearby laughed too: "I came to watch a match, but I didn't expect such an exciting thing to happen. It was worth the trip."
"It's unheard of for the top disciple of the Xuanjian Sect to switch allegiance to the Medicine Sect."
"This isn't just the eldest disciple; don't forget there are also five divine beasts."
"Right, so why is the Xuanjian Sect willing to give up those five divine beasts to protect Ling Ling?"
"That's hard to say."
Nan Qu followed Bai Cao to the Medicine Sect.
She knew that she was disappointing Xuan Yi, but Nan Qu had no choice but to do it.
Clearly, the Xuanjian Sect is the main plotline, and if she stays here, she'll definitely be used by this treacherous fate again. She needs to escape before it can react.
You see, she was a free-spirited woman; how could she possibly be willing to be bound by this storyline?
The Time-Space Beast has already said that she can embark on a new journey through time and space.
