Xiao Yunxiang had not returned from spying on the enemy, and his two Yuqing disciples were also missing. Such a thing happened in Tianmu Ridge, so it was impossible for Yuqing to not know about it. Jixue had also prepared for being found out early on.
But today is already the fifth day, which makes people sigh that Yuqing is really able to keep his composure.
After Shiyan finished explaining, Tu Nian was noticeably calmer. Shiyan was then able to slowly relay Nie Yanchen's instructions: "The Sect Master meant that Yuqing had a lot of issues with you, which was unexpected, so he asked you to avoid them if possible."
Avoid? She's already busy blackmailing me, who should I avoid?
Tu Nian was amused and asked instead of answering, "Who is coming?"
Shiyan said: "Reverend Yuzhe and his direct disciples."
Well, these two disasters have come together.
Seeing that Tu Nian only pursed her lips and said nothing, Shi Yan suddenly felt uneasy and told her seriously, "The last time you escaped from the confinement, the sect leader didn't care much because you were injured. This time, you can't disobey the master's orders again."
Tu Nian blinked at him and said in a harmless manner, "I know, go and do your thing."
Shiyan said nothing and looked at Tu Nian with half belief and half doubt.
Tu Nian shrugged and took the initiative, "How about you accompany me back to give questions to the freshmen?"
As expected, Shiyan said, "The Sect Master has other instructions."
Tu Nian smiled, "That's it. You don't have time to supervise me anyway, so just focus on your own things."
No matter how you look at her, she doesn't look like someone who would be obedient. Shi Yan sighed helplessly and finally said, "Just remember not to disobey your master's orders."
After saying that, he left in a hurry. Tu Nian watched him leave his sight with a smile, turned around and summoned the Bixuan Sword, flying towards the main peak tower.
When she reached the main peak, the first thing Tu Nian saw were the three senior brothers guarding outside the tower. She quickly put away her sword and stepped forward to ask, "Senior brothers, what's going on inside?"
Chu Qiurong turned around as if shocked when she heard her voice and asked in surprise, "Junior Sister! Why are you here? Where is Shiyan?"
Turning his head to glance at his startled Second Senior Brother, Xu Ziqiao sneered, "Can Shiyan kill someone with just one sentence? Especially this guy."
Tu Nian didn't mind Xu Ziqiao's impolite address to him at all. He smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Third Brother, you understand me."
"You shouldn't have come."
At the side, the taciturn Jin Nanfeng spoke. Tu Nian turned his head and met his indifferent eyes.
"Yu Zhe came in person, half for Xiao Yunxiang, and the other half is probably for you."
Tu Nian was a little surprised and smiled, "Do I have such a big face?"
"Senior brother is not kidding you."
Chu Qiurong's expression was a little serious, which made Tu Nian feel a little uneasy. She changed her expression and frowned, "What did you hear?"
Chu Qiurong didn't say anything at first, but subconsciously glanced at Jin Nanfeng. It was this glance that made Tu Nian realize that this matter might be really serious.
Even though it was such a big deal, Xu Ziqiao was still so careless that he ignored all the details about the other two people. He got carried away and blurted out the truth with an impatient look on his face.
"That old guy Yuzhe said that you weren't removed from the clan when you left Yuqing, and that you're still his disciple now. He asked Master to send you back. Do you think he's sick..."
"San'er!"
Chu Qiurong almost subconsciously covered his mouth, but it was of no use. The disciples of Jixue obviously had the same bloodline as the master of Jixue when it came to spreading gossip - to emphasize the word "neat".
By the time Chu Qiurong's hand was in place, Xu Ziqiao had already said everything he should and shouldn't say.
After hearing this, Tu Nian's brain felt a little hot and he stood there in a daze for several breaths.
Chu Qiurong realized it belatedly. Looking at Tu Nian who was still in shock, she withdrew her hand that had just covered her body. She pointed at Xu Ziqiao with a look of disappointment on her face, and then went forward to comfort his junior sister, who she didn't know what she was feeling.
Xu Ziqiao rubbed the area he had covered with a click of his tongue and said nonchalantly, "I'll have to know anyway, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later."
That's true. Such a big thing can't be kept secret for long.
"I'm fine."
After recovering from the shock, Tu Nian slowly pushed away Chu Qiurong's hand on his shoulder and looked at Jin Nanfeng, "But how is this possible?"
Even if what Xu Ziqiao said was true, she had been a disciple of Jixue for half a year, and she had competed on Jixue's behalf in the competition and performed outstandingly.
This is equivalent to announcing to the world that she is Jixue's disciple. How could Yuzhe take her back to Yuqing with just a casual remark of "her clan membership has not been removed"?
Jin Nanfeng half-closed his eyelashes as he looked at her, his expression slightly gloomy. "In the past, when sects dismissed disciples, many rogues took advantage of the situation and kept their positions as disciples. Therefore, the major sects established the 'sect registration' and stipulated that no matter what the status of the disciple was, once the 'sect registration' was removed, they were no longer members of the sect."
"But this rule mostly applies to when someone is expelled from the sect. For someone like you who voluntarily resigns, the sect will often not force them to stay because they have already made up their minds to leave. As for 'clan membership', everything happens naturally according to the procedures, and they won't pursue it." But you are different.
Jin Nanfeng didn't say the last sentence, but Tu Nian understood it. He couldn't help but hold his head in his hands with a headache, feeling that he was overwhelmed.
There are actually procedures for resigning from the clan! And you have to be removed from the clan register!
She was only concerned with saving her own life at the time, so she sneaked out of the sect and resigned with just one word. There was no need to think about it, and her clan membership was definitely not moved.
Tu Nianzhen greeted the original author's eight generations of ancestors.
What kind of Zhou Pa Pi setting is this? Who would follow the procedures to leave the sect when practicing Taoism?
This is equivalent to her packing up and quitting her previous unscrupulous company to join an emerging potential stock, stumbling and working diligently in the new company, from a nobody to a senior veteran, and then the company has gone public and is ready to count the money, but suddenly the unscrupulous previous company comes to her and tells her that she is still paying the five insurances and one fund to the previous company and has not refunded it, and threatens her to go back to being a low-level worker.
Isn't this bullshit?
Even worse.
The unscrupulous company would at most squeeze her productivity, but Yuzhe had ill intentions in bringing her back, perhaps to use her as material for alchemy.
What Tu Nian didn't know was that her thoughts had spread, and she had almost completely understood Yu Zhe's purpose. Yu Zhe came here because of her life experience, and tricked her into going back to make elixirs for Su Youzhi.
Of course, these are all later stories. At this moment, Tu Nian's mind is full of the need to draw a clear line between herself and Yu Qing. With a toss of her hair, she said with a sullen look: "I just won't reply. What can he do to me?"
Chu Qiurong smiled bitterly and said, "He can't do anything to you, but if they spread this to the world of immortal cultivation, it won't sound good."
