Xiao Roushu was the first to start cursing.
"You're probably still being influenced by demonic energy, aren't you? You've probably been possessed by demonic forces!"
The other disciples also spoke up:
"Wenren Xue, how can you be so shameless?"
"If it weren't for Senior Sister Tianning, we would all have died at the hands of the demonic cultivators!"
...
The newly initiated disciples weren't buying her act. Although they were young, they knew right from wrong. In the face of so many Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators, Tian Ning's willingness to stand up made her a hero to everyone!
Would any one of them have the ability to do that? Or, would they really have the courage to stand up?
"I... I was just affected by demonic energy..."
Wenren Xue's mind was in complete chaos, and she could only cling to this point.
Even knowing that dealing with Tian Ning at this time would be extremely unwise, how could she possibly bear it when her cultivation level had plummeted from the Golden Core stage to the Qi stage in such a short period of time, her right hand holding the sword had been forcibly severed by those bastards from the Sword Guardian Mountain, and she was even forced to witness Tian Ning contracting ten swords in a row, shining brightly in front of all the disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect in such a disheveled state?
Why should I?!
She had never suffered such injustice before. Everything had been proceeding perfectly according to plan before Tian Ning appeared...
Qin Mingcheng looked grim in the face of these questions, especially since Elder Ye, who was of the same rank as him, stepped forward to side with the Sword Protection Mountain faction!
He frowned, suppressing his anger, and said, "Xue'er has already explained that she was only affected by demonic energy! She has already lost her right hand, the one that holds the sword, what more do you want?!"
"Instead of pursuing the mistakes of those who have already been punished, we should have a proper discussion on how Fu Hongming should be punished for using vigilante justice."
Fu Hongming's ferocity was in no way inferior to Qin Mingcheng's. He took responsibility for his actions and was not afraid at all!
Today, as long as he can deal with the guy who hurt his junior sister, what does it matter if he gets punished?
The old man has fallen, but his senior brother is still alive and will never allow his junior brothers and sisters to be bullied by outsiders!
Tianning quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Senior Brother, you stay here and keep an eye on Master and Third Senior Sister. I'll take care of things."
"Junior Sister, this is none of your business..."
Tianning: "Otherwise, I'll check your sword practice results tonight."
"..."
Fu Hongming: "Silly girl, stop fooling around!"
He made a mistake, so he should take responsibility for it himself.
Tian Ning blinked, then pulled out a rope from somewhere, jumped up, tied the person up tightly, and handed them to Long Aotian: "Fourth Senior Brother, I'll be right back."
Long Aotian: "..."
He was almost moved to tears by his senior brother's performance that evening. Could she please stop ruining the atmosphere?
Tian Ning stepped forward and stopped a certain distance away from Wenren Xue. Before she could say anything, the people behind Wenren Xue had already started talking animatedly.
"Your senior brother cut off my junior sister's right hand. If he doesn't cut off both of his own hands today, this matter isn't over! Don't think that just because Elder Ye is protecting him, he can get away unscathed!"
"The disciples of Sword Guardian Mountain have committed such demonic acts; according to the sect rules, their cultivation must be abolished and they must be expelled from the sect!"
Wenren Yang's expression was complicated. "Sixth Sister, no matter what, you can't let anyone treat Fifth Sister like this..."
They say three women make a drama, but this group of men together could put on a whole show.
There were many fish in Wenren Xue's pond, besides Qin Mingcheng, there were quite a few others. They were all talking at once, making quite a racket.
Tianning felt they were going to talk for a long time, so he took a chair out of his mustard seed bag.
“You guys continue,” she said, finding another book she was halfway through with a bookmark on it. “Remember to call me when you’re done.”
The men around Wenren Xue: "..."
The other disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were speechless. Who wanted to listen to their constant cursing? After all that, the progress hadn't changed at all. Were they crazy?
This time, even before Sect Leader Xiao came out, some disciples couldn't take it anymore.
"Can you all shut up? I said to let the people from Sword Guardian Mountain speak up. Are you all the ones who can talk?"
"Everyone has their own things to do, it's not like we have to revolve around you!"
"Go back to swearing! Don't be a bunch of grown men whining like women!"
"..."
Wenren Xue's men shut up.
No man can stand being called a sissy and gossipy.
Once they quieted down, Tianning put away the storybook.
She said succinctly, "Since Wenren Xue said she was affected by demonic energy, let's check if she has any demonic energy on her body."
Everyone was taken aback.
Everyone thought she would speak up for Fu Hongming, even if it meant insulting Wenren Xue as shameless!
Unexpectedly, she was so rational as to first have everyone check whether Wenren Xue had any demonic energy.
But this statement is so reasonable that it's hard to refute.
"No... the demonic energy has already dissipated..."
Wenren Xue shook her head, shrinking into Zong Zhenglun's arms in utter resistance.
"Shut up! My senior sister Tianning is right!" Xiao Roushu was once again the first to stand up and become the center of attention: "We almost forgot that you, you coward, hid behind everyone the whole time and didn't even touch a single demonic cultivator. How could you possibly have been tainted by demonic energy!"
