After dismissing all the disciples, they went into the meeting room.
The four elders sat upright, while Jiang Yunlan stood with her hands hanging down, her expression solemn.
The third elder said, "I don't care what grudges you have with Chen Yang. I can tell you clearly that Chen Yang has a significant relationship with the rupture of the star disk!"
His tone was affirmative.
The other elders froze in their expressions, and then they understood that the third elder must have had some feelings when he saw Chen Yang before.
If they hadn't learned of Chen Yang's arrival today, the four of them would not have left the forbidden area.
Jiang Yunlan lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing.
The Great Elder said: "Even if Chen Yang is related to the star disk, that kid is still too arrogant. He doesn't even have the Floating Cloud Sect in his eyes."
The Third Elder looked at the First Elder and said sternly, "The Star Plate is the lifeblood of our Floating Cloud Holy Land. Its destruction is definitely a bad omen. In addition, it is very likely that Chen Yang will be the one who causes our Floating Cloud Sect to decline or even perish."
Hearing this, the other elders shuddered.
The Fourth Elder said, "He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How could he have such great abilities? Third, are you sensing something wrong?"
The Great Elder frowned and said thoughtfully, "Or perhaps we could say this person is a disaster."
"No." The third elder shook his head, his old eyes full of solemnity.
"It is possible that the Floating Cloud Sect may face disaster without Chen Yang, or it is possible that it may face disaster because of Chen Yang. This is the only part that I cannot make a conclusion on."
The four elders remained silent.
They knew that the Third Elder rarely made mistakes when surveying the lifeblood of the Floating Cloud Sect.
"Can Chen Yang regain his former genius?" said the second elder, who had not spoken for a long time.
"I'm also curious. It's impossible for him to recover his spiritual roots. Is there any hidden story behind this?" The Great Elder asked doubtfully.
Jiang Yunlan said softly, "The elders are worrying too much. Chen Yang will never be able to recover his former cultivation talent, even if he recovers his spiritual roots!"
She was very sure of this. The former Chen Yang would never come back. That guy would be a waste all his life.
Since he is related to the star map and the lifeblood of the Floating Cloud Sect, let's spare his life for now and wait until everything is clear.
After hearing Jiang Yunlan's words, several elders fell silent. This person who had been close to Chen Yang and had become his close friend might really know something.
Naturally, they couldn't get involved in the twists and turns involved.
After a moment, the Third Elder said, "I've heard from the disciples that the Sect Master's brother is becoming increasingly arrogant within the Sect. Not only that, he's also trying to ruin the reputation of our Floating Cloud Sect. Is this true?"
His eyes were sinister and he allowed almost no room for argument.
Jiang Yunlan knew that among the seven elders, the first elder seemed harsh but was actually kind, the second elder just followed what others said, and the other elders focused on cultivation and rarely asked about the affairs of the sect. Only the third elder had a kind and insightful mind.
If not for this, he would not have been able to see through the secrets of heaven so many times.
Since he said so, he must have evidence, and making excuses would make it seem that he doesn't have it.
"It's my fault for not being able to restrain my younger brother. From today on, I will ground him and administer thunderbolts to him once every three days as a punishment."
"If I hadn't mentioned it, would the Sect Master have acted like this?" the Third Elder said coldly.
Jiang Yunlan didn't dare to say yes, so she could only lower her head guiltily.
This incident is almost Jiang Yunlan's only black spot, even in front of the sect disciples.
Due to her majesty, the disciples naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"If I hear that Jiang Mang behaves recklessly again, I will expel him from the Floating Cloud Sect!" the third elder said sternly.
"I will definitely restrain my younger brother and not let the elders worry." Jiang Yunlan said hurriedly.
…
The huge waves kept rolling, emitting a bright white light, and the rumbling sound roared around. The hard reefs stood like monsters.
Chen Yang stood in the middle, his bloodshot eyes looking around. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xue Qing, Xue Qing!"
After a moment, he dived into the huge waves again.
Ping'er, who was standing on the shore, looked at this scene, her eyes suddenly became hot and she shed two tears.
She thought about the relationship between Chen Yang and Xue Qing, and her heart was filled with emotions. If someone treated her like this, she would be willing to die.
But can that woman really still survive?
She found the correct location for Chen Yang, and he took her to the bottom of the cliff, searching over and over again, but found nothing, nothing at all.
There wasn't even a corpse.
But it is precisely because there is no corpse that Chen Yang holds out hope.
Ping'er thought that the absence of a corpse only meant that the woman's body had been washed away somewhere else, but it did not mean that the woman was not dead.
But how could she bear to tell Chen Yang this?
Chen Yang, the waste in the eyes of the sect disciples, and the hero in the eyes of the old disciple Shaohuo. At this moment, she was sure that she was more inclined to the latter.
The disgusting faces of the brother and sister made her want to vomit.
Not a single word the brother and sister said was credible.
"Brother Chen Yang, stop looking." Finally she couldn't help but yell.
But her voice was drowned out by the sound of the huge waves.
It was unknown how long it took before the wet Chen Yang came ashore. He looked very lonely, but not desperate or sad.
"Brother Chen Yang, please don't be sad..." Ping'er wanted to say a few words of comfort.
"Xue Qing is not dead." Chen Yang looked up at her, with a soft light in his eyes.
Ping'er's heart skipped a beat and she quickly avoided his eyes, lowering her head.
"I believe she won't die." Chen Yang turned his head and looked in the direction of the surging waves.
Where was Xue Qing washed away to? he wondered.
But he didn't think that Xue Qing might have died.
He will not and cannot accept it.
So he firmly believed that Xue Qing must be alive and would come to find him soon.
The sky gradually darkened, and there was nothing else in the surroundings except the white waves crashing against the rocks and the rumbling sounds.
Ping'er saw Chen Yang was in a daze and couldn't help but move closer to him.
She leaned on Chen Yang's shoulder, feeling the scorching heat, but found that it was the heat coming from her own heart.
Chen Yang had no reaction to her actions. He just stared into the distance silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the moon rose into the sky, like a round disk, casting a bright and cool light, Ping'er fell asleep on Chen Yang's shoulder unknowingly.
When she woke up, she had already arrived at the town at the foot of Fuyun Sect Mountain and was lying in a room in an inn.
The sky was slightly bright, and Chen Yang was sitting in the shadows.
"Brother Chen Yang..." she called softly.
Chen Yang turned and looked at her.
She noticed that there was a dark area under the other person's eyes, making him look very haggard, and she couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Miss Ping'er, your blood contract with the Floating Cloud Sect has been dissolved, and you are free." Chen Yang said.
"Really?" Ping'er lowered her eyes, feeling a little lost.
"I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company." Chen Yang said as he stood up and prepared to leave.
Ping'er immediately rushed down, stretched out her hand to grab Chen Yang but stopped in mid-air. She said, "Brother Chen Yang, thank you, thank you."
