After hesitating for a long time, Song Xin finally spoke as if she had made up her mind, "After I came back a couple of days ago, I learned from others that I had actually been reported. After understanding the situation, I found out that it was Senior Sister who reported me for this reason when I was not in the sect. But I thought that I don't usually follow that rule when I go out, so I wondered if Senior Sister had misunderstood something."
"So I went to find her early in the morning, wanting to explain this to my senior sister, but she seemed very impatient..." As she spoke, Song Xin became hesitant, her unspoken words making it hard to guess what she was going to say next.
He Qi didn't even need to hear the whole story before slamming his hand on the table and standing up. "Senior Sister, this is going too far! It's just leaving the sect, does such a small thing need to be reported? Why didn't anyone tell me about this!"
He Qi glanced at the people present. Ever since he broke off his friendships for Song Xin, he had become detached from the affairs of the sect and was unaware of many things, including this matter. If he had known, he would have exploded long ago.
Upon hearing this, Song Xin said with a kind and considerate expression, "Forget it, this matter is ultimately my fault. If I hadn't wanted to go and explain to Senior Sister, she wouldn't have treated me like this. Perhaps she was busy with something at the time, and I took up her time."
Song Xin's tone was indifferent, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of sadness in it. This ignited He Qi's temper. He couldn't sit still anymore. "No, senior sister, how could this be your fault? It was clearly that senior sister who couldn't distinguish right from wrong. You wait, I'll take people to get justice for you right now!"
With that, He Qi walked out the door without even turning around when Song Xin called him from behind. He knew that Song Xin was calling him to tell him not to do anything, but how could he bear to see his beloved woman in such a predicament?
He Qi stormed out, and Song Xin immediately looked very worried about him. "Do you think He Qi will be alright if he just leaves like that? I still have to go and try to persuade him."
As she spoke, Song Xin got up from her seat and prepared to leave. Just as she was about to leave, Yi Zhuo spoke up first, saying, "Oh, okay, Senior Sister Song, let He Qi go. Anyway, this is not our fault, and besides, he is not that incompetent, so he won't get hurt so easily."
As soon as Yi Zhuo said this, those around her who wanted to curry favor with Song Xin chimed in, "That's right, Senior Sister Song, don't worry, just sit here and wait. Show up after things are settled. Anyway, Xu Yuehuai isn't a good person."
“Yes, Xu Yuehuai put on quite a show when we were in the secret realm. So, Senior Sister Song, please don’t speak up for her; she doesn’t deserve it.” Compared to Song Xin’s feigned address of Xu Yuehuai as “Senior Sister,” everyone else addressed her by her given name directly.
Seeing this, Song Xin chuckled helplessly, as if she had been forced to compromise, "Alright, you've all said so."
Izhuo grinned broadly beside him, looking incredibly happy.
On the other side, after leaving Song Xin's courtyard, He Qi went straight to his own courtyard. He spent some effort finding a few brothers who were willing to go with him. There were four of them in total, and they walked confidently towards the direction of the sect leader's mountain.
But they couldn't get up there and could only wait at the foot of the mountain. The people at the foot of the mountain reported back, but they didn't get a response from Xu Yuehuai for a long time. The group gradually became impatient. "This senior sister is really arrogant. We've been waiting here for so long and haven't seen her come down yet. She's really not giving us any face!"
These guys had been around for a long time and always felt that their pride was more important than anything else, so Xu Yuehuai's behavior was tantamount to provoking them.
However, on the mountain peak, when Aqing heard about the situation, she did not go to Xu Yuehuai immediately. Instead, she found an open place to observe the situation. When she saw He Qi and the others, she looked at them with disdain, "These are just some trash. They dare to come and cause trouble."
Aqing handled this kind of thing with ease, but it was the first time Shi Mu had encountered such a situation. His expression betrayed him; he looked somewhat nervous.
"What should we do now? They seem to have ill intentions. Are they planning to fight us? My cultivation level isn't high enough to offer much help," Shi Mu said slowly, enunciating each word clearly.
After staying here for so many days, through Aqing's persistent daily chats, he finally achieved some results, and began to regard Aqing as his good friend.
Aqing sneered and shook her head, saying, "These few small fry aren't worth me personally taking action against. Let them wait."
After saying that, Aqing dusted off his hands, turned and left. Shi Mu followed suit, and on the way, he asked curiously, "Should we tell Senior Sister about this?"
"I won't tell," Aqing said.
Shi Mu asked worriedly, "But what if Senior Sister gets angry when she finds out the truth?"
Aqing patted Shi Mu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Senior Sister isn't the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong. She won't attack us without knowing the facts."
With Aqing's assurance, Shi Mu felt much more at ease.
The group of people at the foot of the mountain waited for a long time without seeing anyone arrive, and they gradually became impatient. He Qi walked over and roared at the group of people at the foot of the mountain, "Didn't I tell you to go and say it? Then why haven't we seen anyone come yet!"
Caught off guard by the shout, the other party was startled. After recovering, their face darkened as they looked at He Qi. "How should I know! Our task was only to convey the message, not to address how to appease your emotions regarding Senior Sister's reluctance to come down!"
The person spoke without any fear, and their straightforward manner made He Qi's expression even more unpleasant.
The people standing around looked angry, but seeing the two arguing like this, they didn't dare to say anything.
He Qi was stunned for a moment, then began to use his status to intimidate others, "I must see Senior Sister today. You should know who I am, right? Go and tell her again, it must be Senior Sister herself who says it, don't let someone else relay the message!"
He Qi felt he had made himself clear enough, and with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, he glanced at the man. The gatekeeper didn't tolerate him either.
He snorted directly at where he was standing, spat out something, and took a step back, saying angrily, "You! You're utterly vulgar! What exactly do you want!"
The gatekeeper found it strange and glanced at him sideways. "What do I want to do? Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
