"I never thought there would be such a person in the academy! He is a complete disgrace to the reputation of Chengtian Academy."
"I don't know what the Sect Master was thinking when he chose not to execute someone who colluded with foreigners and betrayed his master!"
"Oh, if Elder Fuchen knew in his grave that he had recruited such a heartless person, he would probably be so angry that his soul would fly away!"
Chen Yunxuan was shackled and escorted all the way to the academy gate from the hall. It was really too humiliating.
On the way to being expelled from the sect, people were constantly pointing and talking. This was specially called together by several elders to warn everyone not to imitate Chen Yunxuan.
Chen Yunxuan didn't understand why his fellow brothers and sisters, who once seemed to get along well with him, were now insulting him.
Not only did they scold him, they even talked about their master, saying that he was blind and shouldn't have accepted this disciple.
"Yunxuan, you—are so confused!" Third Elder Xuanyin expressed a look of regret, "Senior Brother Fuchen treats you so well!"
The Great Elder did not give the Third Elder a chance to continue his performance, but instead ordered someone to open the shackles and throw Chen Yunxuan out of the academy.
"Chen Yunxuan, from now on you will have nothing to do with my Chengtian Academy!"
"If you commit any illegal acts in the name of Chengtian Academy, you will be executed without mercy!"
"Someone, throw him out!"
After the Great Elder finished speaking, several disciples threw Chen Yunxuan out.
"Elder..." Chen Yunxuan's face was covered in mud and he looked disheveled. He stretched out his hand to explain, but the door was closed.
Chen Yunxuan stood up weakly. At this moment, he was like a lone boat on the ocean, not knowing which direction to go.
"Master...was this disciple really wrong?"
"I clearly didn't do what they said!"
"Why do they want to slander disciples..."
"From now on...where should I go?"
"When Senior Sister Ding and Junior Sister Xingyao come back and find out about me like this, they'll probably hate me like the rest of my brothers and sisters..."
Chen Yunxuan was muttering to himself outside the academy, not knowing what to do.
"Chen Yunxuan, leave this academy immediately! The elders have ordered that if you don't leave, we have the right to shoot you on the spot!" The disciple on the watchtower in Chengtian Academy warned, and as he spoke, he shot an arrow in the direction of Chen Yunxuan.
It seems that Chengtian Academy has really abandoned me, and I can no longer stay in this place that nurtured me.
Chen Yunxuan knelt down towards the academy and paid his final respects.
Then he walked down the mountain without looking back.
At the foot of the mountain, all of Chen Yunxuan's belongings except for the clothes and shoes he was wearing were taken away by the academy.
Where should he go? If he encountered wild animals or bandits, his life would probably be over.
He was slandered as a thief, expelled from the academy, and then died tragically... Chen Yunxuan felt that his life was over.
"Senior Brother Yunxuan." A familiar voice sounded from beside him. It was the third disciple accepted by the master - Zhong Huaiqian.
"Master trusts you and asked me to pack up the important items in your room for you. Time is a bit tight, so I only picked out this much."
"There's still some money in there, enough to last me a while."
"Besides, it's not easy to take the weapons in the academy out, so I had to pick out a sword I seized from bandits from the warehouse."
"Although the quality isn't top-notch, it should be enough for Brother to protect himself."
Zhong Huaiqian threw a package to Chen Yunxuan and also threw him a sword.
"Thank you, Junior Brother. Since the Sect Leader trusts me... why did you expel me from the academy?" Chen Yunxuan accepted the things and asked in confusion.
Zhong Huaiqian sighed helplessly, then relayed the Sect Leader's thoughts: "The evidence is irrefutable, and the elders are forcing us to do this. Any Sect Leader would have no choice but to do this."
"The crime you bear is not light, it could even be considered a capital offense. Master withstood the pressure from everyone and only expelled you from the academy."
"If I force you to stay in the academy, not only will it be difficult for the master, but you won't be able to practice properly under the scolding of everyone."
"Master, I hope you will understand my intentions!"
Chen Yunxuan suppressed his sadness and nodded.
"Also, Master asked me to tell you that he still welcomes you back to the academy, but the prerequisite is that he must find out the truth and clear his name."
"Of course, the academy will also send people to investigate the truth... but with the intervention of the elders, it may not go smoothly."
"After this departure, you can choose how to develop your future. You can either live in anonymity for the rest of your life, or live another life, or find out the truth and return to the academy."
"Everything is up to you, Brother. But Master hopes that you will not go down the wrong path, but instead walk towards the path that you feel is right."
"That's what Master meant."
"Well, Junior Brother, it's time for you to leave. After this farewell, we are no longer brothers in the same sect."
"Junior brother believes in your character and will not do those things. Even if we are not brothers, we can still be friends."
"The mountains are high and the waters are long, the road ahead is dangerous, I hope you take care!"
Zhong Huaiqian clasped his fists and then left.
Chen Yunxuan sorted out his package. In addition to the money and items he needed for daily life, there was also a jade pendant.
The master said that it was a jade pendant left to him by his mother. If he wanted to solve the mystery of his life experience, he would probably have to start with this jade pendant.
Zhong Huaiqian was right, the road ahead was indeed dangerous.
From now on, he will embark on his journey alone.
At this moment, he just wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible so that he could...
But this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time. The most important thing right now is to find a place to rest.
