Chapter 51
Chapter 51: Request to Leave the Mountain
“If I am not wrong, Master, you wish to stand up for Ye Cong Xin over the Starry Sky Stone, right? But do you know why, even though Ye Cong Xin is more liked than I am, the fellow disciples who joined the trial would rather give the Starry Sky Stones to me than to her?”
The corner of Yu Zhao’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Ye Cong Xin’s heart skipped a beat.
She was afraid Yu Zhao would bring up something that would embarrass her, so she quickly said: “Sixth Senior Sister, I… I know I held everyone back and dragged you all down. It is only right that the Starry Sky Stones go to you. I really have no objections.”
“So you do know that you held everyone back. Because of you, the trip took two extra days, and you did not make any contribution the whole time. How could you still shamelessly fight me over the Starry Sky Stones? Is it just because you are a useless person?
“Ye Cong Xin, can you at least have some shame?”
When Yu Zhao said this last sentence, she felt clear and refreshed.
Before, she had been too reserved, hiding all her feelings in her heart until she almost suffocated.
Now that she cultivated the Illusory Tide Art, she focused on following her heart and having no desires.
Anyone who offended her, she would slap in the face.
Ye Cong Xin’s face turned red with anger, yet she still had to keep her kind and soft image. She did not refute a single word, only looked at Yu Zhao with tearful eyes and kept shaking her head.
In the past, Su Ming would have already jumped out to speak for Ye Cong Xin.
But he himself had just been slapped in the face by Yu Zhao. He did not even dare raise his head, let alone speak up for Ye Cong Xin.
Also, although Yu Zhao’s words were harsh, they made him start to reflect.
[Were we really too excessive, causing things to end up like this?]
From the start of Yu Zhao’s speech, Master Qing Yan sat on the Cloud Terrace like a Buddha statue without joy or sorrow.
Yu Zhao’s sorrow and Yu Zhao’s anger could not move any of his emotions.
He stood high above, looking down on all living beings.
His eyes held no dust, and no dust dared get close to him.
Yu Zhao looked at him and suddenly laughed.
“Master, you are the most powerful cultivator I have ever seen…”
Sect Master Ji Yuan thought: [Huh?]
[Why did she suddenly stop scolding halfway?]
He had been listening with great interest.
For some reason, Su Ming and Ye Cong Xin also felt upset.
[Why were only they scolded while Master was not?]
Master Qing Yan’s expression was cold.
He thought there must be more to this sentence.
“…You are also the most heartless and hypocritical cultivator I have ever seen.”
Yu Zhao’s feelings toward Master Qing Yan were quite complicated.
When Master Qing Yan had saved her from a pile of refugees, she had seen him as an Immortal.
After he brought her back to the Five Elements Dao Sect and took her in as a disciple, she saw Master Qing Yan as both her Master and her father.
At that time, Yu Zhao saw Master Qing Yan as her salvation and was willing to give up her life for him.
But no matter how great the kindness was, it would still be worn away by disappointment that built up over time.
Master Qing Yan’s sword strike had been the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
From then on, Yu Zhao was completely freed.
“How dare you!”
Before Yu Zhao even finished speaking, a huge pressure swept across the entire hall.
Su Ming and Ye Cong Xin were sent flying by the pressure before they could react, and in the next second they lost consciousness.
Yu Zhao, under Sect Master Ji Yuan’s protection, barely managed to stay standing.
But Sect Master Ji Yuan did not feel good either. The chair under him had turned into powder, and he was half-squatting as he faced Master Qing Yan’s pressure.
His cultivation level was at the Early Divine Transformation Stage, completely no match for Master Qing Yan, who was at the Late Divine Transformation Stage, so it was very hard for him to handle.
Ji Yuan secretly cried out in his heart. Yu Zhao even dared to scold Master Qing Yan. This was going to pierce the sky.
“Master, do you not always say that elders should be tolerant of juniors? Why can you not endure one rude sentence from me?”
Yu Zhao’s forehead was covered in sweat and her body was shaking out of control, yet she still forced a smile and tried her best to meet Master Qing Yan’s eyes.
The anger in Master Qing Yan’s eyes grew stronger. He lightly shook his head and said: “You are beyond saving.”
Master Qing Yan could not understand why Yu Zhao would act as if everyone in the world had wronged her, just because she had suffered a little grievance.
The only explanation he could barely accept was that Yu Zhao’s Dao heart had collapsed, that she had gone into Qi Deviation and become like a madwoman.
A person like this was no longer fit to stay in the Five Elements Dao Sect.
He suddenly withdrew his pressure, and his face returned to its usual calm, as still as an ancient well.
Ji Yuan did not know what he was planning and watched him warily.
“Yu Zhao’s temperament is unfit and she will not achieve anything great. From today on, she is expelled from my sect and may no longer call herself a person of Lone Moon Peak.”
“Qing Yan!”
The shocks Sect Master Ji Yuan had received today kept getting bigger and bigger.
First he had heard so many secrets about Lone Moon Peak, then he saw a Master and his disciple turn against each other. His head was aching.
“Master Qing Yan, why do you not think it over again? Yu Zhao, she…”
Ji Yuan felt that Yu Zhao was not as hopeless as Master Qing Yan said.
Of course, this was not just his own feeling. It came from the information and analysis given by his eldest disciple.
Yu Zhao had stayed calm even under the threat of a Fourth-rank Great Demon and had used a Primordial Treasure to save Zhou Jin Yue. That alone proved she had many strengths.
It was because Master Qing Yan was biased against her that these misunderstandings had piled up.
Sect Master Ji Yuan had come here to clear up the misunderstandings. How could he accept going back with nothing done?
Just as he was trying to think of the right words to change Master Qing Yan’s view, Yu Zhao suddenly dropped to her knees with a thud.
“Thank you, Master Qing Yan, for fulfilling my wish!”
Ji Yuan thought: [What!!!]
[Wait, why did you agree so fast? I was just about to speak up for you!]
Sect Master Ji Yuan was so anxious that he kept winking at Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao was too young and did not understand what a huge impact it would have to be expelled by a Divine Transformation cultivator.
First, no other high level cultivator in the Five Elements Dao Sect would dare take Yu Zhao in as a disciple. In fact, there were not many people in the whole cultivation world who would risk offending Master Qing Yan to become Yu Zhao’s Master.
Second, the other disciples would reject or dislike Yu Zhao, making it hard for her to fit in.
Lastly, Yu Zhao would lose all the treatment of a Personal Disciple and become an ordinary disciple. The sect would not give her much help anymore.
So losing her identity as Master Qing Yan’s Personal Disciple was full of harm and had no benefit for Yu Zhao. It was a very reckless and foolish decision.
Sect Master Ji Yuan naturally did not want to see Yu Zhao’s talent buried, so he forced himself to look at Master Qing Yan and said: “Qing Yan, those were all words spoken in anger. Please do not take them to heart.”
“These are not words said in anger.”
Yu Zhao took off the Storage Pouch from her waist and placed it on the ground in front of her.
“Inside are the identity token of my Personal Disciple status, several Magical Artifacts that Master Qing Yan gave me, and the jade slip of the Sea Moon Scripture cultivation technique. I now return them all to Master Qing Yan.
“From today on, Yu Zhao is no longer Master Qing Yan’s sixth disciple, no longer a person of Lone Moon Peak, only an ordinary Inner Disciple of the Five Elements Dao Sect.”
Only now did Sect Master Ji Yuan realize that Yu Zhao had come prepared.
Her goal was to cut off the Master and disciple relationship with Master Qing Yan. That was why she had spoken so rudely and purposely angered him.
He was afraid that even he was part of her plan. Otherwise, with Yu Zhao’s small body, she would have long ago been beaten half to death by Master Qing Yan’s anger.
Sect Master Ji Yuan realized he had been used, but he was not angry. Instead, he felt a bit at ease.
Since Yu Zhao herself had already decided, why should he create more trouble to stop her?
He was on Yu Zhao’s side!
