Chapter 340: Quan Ye Can Be Sold Too?
Sect Master Ji Yuan wrung his hands and sighed: “Alas.”

Quan Ye dropped heavily to his knees in front of the people from the Immortal Dynasty and kowtowed three times to Sect Master Ji Yuan, then turned toward where Master Qing Yan sat. He said respectfully: “Thank you, Master, for teaching me for so many years. I am an unfilial disciple and must part ways today. If I achieve anything in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness.”

Master Qing Yan’s expression was cold as he said: “Ever since you entered my tutelage, I have not fulfilled my duty as a teacher. There is no need for you to repay me. You only need to agree to one condition.”

She Jun’s face tightened with anxiety, but Qing Kui shook her head at him, signaling him not to speak.

Master Qing Yan was infamous for his bad temper.

If they offended him with just a few words, whether they could leave the Five Elements Dao Sect in one piece today would still be a mystery.

Quan Ye lowered his head and said: “Master, please speak.”

Master Qing Yan said coolly: “From the moment you step out of the mountain gate today, you are never again to claim that you are my disciple. From then on, there will be no ties between us.”

“Master!” Quan Ye raised his head in shock.

The meaning in Master Qing Yan’s words was clearly that he was expelling him from the sect.

[Why? He only wanted to become stronger. What did he do wrong?]

Sect Master Ji Yuan opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Master Qing Yan’s decision really was beyond his expectations.

But Quan Ye’s identity was awkward, and the place he was going was also awkward. He truly did not know whether he should try to persuade anyone.

She Jun and Qing Kui were full of joy.

They had been worried that if they took Quan Ye back with them, he would help the humans from the inside. Now that Master Qing Yan wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Quan Ye, they no longer had any worries.

Quan Ye clenched his fists and said unwillingly: “Master, that day you expelled Yu Zhao from your tutelage, and today you also want to drive me away?”

“Silence! What right do you have to be mentioned in the same breath as your Junior Sister?” Master Qing Yan shouted angrily, his words full of disgust. “After your Junior Sister left Lone Moon Peak, she relied on herself, and now she is already a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Yet while the sect still stands, you cannot wait to change sides. How can you be compared to her?”

Master Qing Yan had always disliked Quan Ye for being rash, rough, and all brawn and no brains. He had turned a blind eye only because of Quan Ye’s unique bloodline.

Quan Ye had received his kindness for many years, yet when a Great Demon came knocking, he agreed on the spot to leave with the demon.

Such an ungrateful person was not worthy of being his disciple.

Quan Ye’s mouth fell open.

He wanted to refute him, but he could not find any strong argument.

He had never thought of betraying the sect. He only wanted to become stronger, so no one could bully him again.

[Is he really wrong?]

Master Qing Yan’s cold voice sounded again: “Before she left the sect, Yu Zhao crippled her own cultivation technique and returned all items the sect had given her. You are a body cultivator, so we can spare you from crippling your cultivation technique. You only need to return everything you have obtained over the years, and then you may leave.”

Even Sect Master Ji Yuan could no longer bear to watch.

He said: “Qing Yan, at least Quan Ye has called you Master for so many years. Let him keep his things.”

The Five Elements Dao Sect had a great foundation and truly did not care about that little bit they had given Quan Ye.

But Master Qing Yan would not let it go. He said sharply: “When he first came to the Five Elements Dao Sect, he had nothing. Now he should leave with nothing.”

Suspicion flashed through Sect Master Ji Yuan’s eyes.

Why did he feel that Master Qing Yan was deliberately making things hard for Quan Ye?

His feeling was not wrong.

Master Qing Yan really was doing it on purpose.

Ever since he discovered the relationship between Yu Zhao and Shui Qing Yue, he had gone over all of Yu Zhao’s years on Lone Moon Peak in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he hated all five of his disciples, and even that brainless Ye Cong Xin.

If he were not afraid of angering the sect, he would have loved to expel all of his disciples.

Lan Zi Yu was the first target he chose to teach a lesson.

Quan Ye, who had injured Yu Zhao many times, was the second person he wanted to settle scores with.

Anyone who had bullied Yu Zhao in the past, Master Qing Yan intended to avenge her for every single grievance.

Quan Ye ground his back teeth, his eyes full of fierce light.

His reactions were slower than other people’s, but he was not stupid.

He could clearly hear the deliberate targeting in Master Qing Yan’s words.

Because of that, he was even more furious.

[After so many years, even raising a dog would create feelings. Yet he simply drives me away like this and will not even let me take my belongings? Is that something a human could do?]

“Qing…”

Rage boiled in his blood. His eyes turned red, and he was about to vent his years of suppressed resentment without care, but he only had time to say a single syllable before an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky and slammed him into the ground.

Master Qing Yan gave a cold, disdainful snort.

“Ahhh!”

The sense of pressure came at him from all directions. Quan Ye’s bones rubbed against each other, making creaking sounds.

His face flushed scarlet, every blue vein bulging beneath his blood-filled skin. The pain was unbearable.

Qing Kui shot to her feet, her face full of panic, and cried out: “Master Qing Yan, please show mercy!”

She Jun did not speak, but the whiskers at the corners of his mouth kept trembling, clearly showing how uneasy he was.

“Qing Yan.” Sect Master Ji Yuan spoke again, his tone much heavier.

Master Qing Yan flicked his sleeve and said coldly: “Enough. I will spare you this once for the Sect Master’s sake. If you dare to speak rudely again, you will not be leaving.”

Qing Kui quickly checked Quan Ye over. Seeing him sprawled on the ground, gasping for breath but otherwise fine, she let out a silent sigh of relief. At the same time, she gained a new understanding of Master Qing Yan’s unpredictable temper.

If he could be this ruthless to his own disciple, he would show even less mercy to outsiders.

Qing Kui quietly sent a voice transmission to Quan Ye, telling him to hand over his storage pouch on his own to calm Master Qing Yan’s anger.

If he lacked anything in the future, they would naturally help make it up to him.

Having been pressed into the ground and beaten down, Quan Ye finally regained his senses. He yanked the storage pouch from his waist. He originally wanted to throw it at Master Qing Yan’s feet, but when he met that icy gaze, he obediently held the pouch up with both hands and did not dare lift his head.

Master Qing Yan took the storage pouch without the slightest hesitation and then picked up the teacup at his side.

She Jun and Qing Kui immediately offered to take Quan Ye away. Before leaving, they also presented a pile of treasures as an apology.

Since the person was going with them, the things, of course, had to be left behind.

Seeing that Master Qing Yan had no intention of responding, Sect Master Ji Yuan stepped forward to accept the gifts.

Then he rose to personally see them out. Just outside, he happened to run into Zhou Jin Yue and Yu Zhao hurrying over.

She Jun and Qing Kui had not paid the two young women any attention at first, but when they passed by them, both stopped at the same time, their gazes landing straight on Yu Zhao.

“This young lady is…?” Qing Kui’s eyes flashed with a strange light.

Yu Zhao saluted calmly and said: “Junior Yu Zhao of the Five Elements Dao Sect.”

At the sound of Yu Zhao’s name, the light in Qing Kui’s eyes dimmed.

She gave a light laugh and said: “So you are Yu Zhao.”

Master Qing Yan did not know when he had also walked out of the main hall, but he now stood behind Sect Master Ji Yuan and Yu Zhao. His voice was cold as he asked: “Do the two of you have some instruction for my beloved disciple?”

Qing Kui and She Jun’s little thoughts vanished in an instant.

Qing Kui smiled and said politely: “Master Qing Yan has misunderstood. I only asked because this girl is so beautiful. There is no need for you to see us off. We will be taking our leave now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the three of them, including Quan Ye, vanished together.

Yu Zhao stared at the spot where Quan Ye had just been standing.

Before he left, he had said one thing to her.

He had said that he would come back.

Zhou Jin Yue looked at Sect Master Ji Yuan in surprise and asked: “Master, did they take Quan Ye away?”

Sect Master Ji Yuan sighed and said: “Yes. And we even sold him for a good price.”

Zhou Jin Yue stared blankly.

[Quan Ye can be sold for money too?]
