Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao soon arrived at the doorway of Guan Zhen’s residence with You Yilin.
The disciples of Yanhui Peak nearby were also approaching them since they didn’t come in secret.
“Master…” You Yilin looked at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s back with a worried expression and wanted to say something.
It had been a long time since he had seen Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao behave in such way.
He had been a disciple of Baiyun Sect for so many years, and Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had always been calm and composed.
He had come to Yanhui Peak to make things difficult for Elder Guan because of Lin Qi. How could he not be worried?
However, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao raised a hand and stopped You Yilin.
“You need to say no more.”
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had already made up his mind about this matter and did not hesitate at all.
Daoist Yunxiao naturally wouldn’t have any objections if Lin Qi wanted to join Yanhui Peak.
After all, it was up to Lin Qi to decide where he wanted to join.
Similarly, whether the elders wanted to accept this disciple depended on their wishes.
The two-way choice depended entirely on their will.
However, Guan Zhen used his daughter to trick Lin Qi into joining Yanhui Peak. That was something Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao couldn’t bear.
If it was just an ordinary disciple…
No, even Zhang Wu…
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao wouldn’t do such a thing.
Instead, he would think that Guan Zhen was just so-so. He sent his daughter to put on a honey trap for a disciple.
However, it would be different if it was Lin Qi.
After all, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao felt that he was 10,000 times stronger than Guan Zhen.
Be it his position in the Baiyun Sect, his strength, or his resources.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao felt he was much better than Guan Zhen.
The only thing he was not as good as Guan Zhen was that he was a true Daoist disciple.
Although the Baiyun Sect was not like the Shaolin Temple, which required all its disciples to become monks.
There were still many people who chose to devote themselves to cultivation.
They were different from Guan Zhen, an elder who had a wife and children.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation, abandoning the love in the mortal world.
However, it was because of this that Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao lost to Guan Zhen.
Guan Zhen had a daughter, and she was quite beautiful.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao could not compete with Guan Zhen on that point.
Therefore, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had the thought that Lin Qi was influenced by that and was abducted by Guan Zhen.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao brought You Yilin to cause trouble there to prevent such a good seedling from being s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Yanhui Peak!
…
“Elder Guan, you are good at playing tricks!”
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao stood outside the Guan Residence and said in a clear voice.
Although his voice was not loud, everyone on Yanhui Peak heard what he said.
Everyone’s hearts thumped.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao seemed like he did not come with good intentions from what he said!
At the same time, many disciples had doubts in their hearts.
What did their master, Elder Guan do to make Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao say such words?
Soon, Guan Zhen walked out of the house with a frown.
He was at home choosing a cultivation technique and prepared to teach Lin Qi to cultivate.
However, that unfriendly tone made him had to come out of his residence.
…
“Senior sect master, what do you mean by this?”
Guan Zhen had already asked the question before he walked out of the house.
Many disciples of Yanhui Peak had already gathered around that area at that moment.
Guan Zhen wouldn’t let Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao go if he didn’t make things clear here.
So what if he was the sect leader.
He, as one of the elders of the Baiyun Sect, wasn’t someone that the sect leader could slander out of thin air.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao looked at Guan Zhen coldly and said with a sneer upon hearing his question, “You know what I mean.”
Guan Zhen had already come to the outside of the house at that moment and stood facing Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.
Guan Zhen’s frown was deeper upon seeing that Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was speaking incoherently.
“I, Guan Zhen, have never been involved in the affairs of the Baiyun Sect. Senior, I don’t know what you mean. Please enlighten me, senior sect leader.”
…
Guan Zhen had already lowered his stance enough when he said that.
It seemed like there was some misunderstanding from what he heard from Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao.
In his opinion, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao would not have done things to this extent if there was no misunderstanding.
And Guan Zhen only wanted to clarify the matter.
He did not want his disciples to have any misunderstanding about him.
Similarly, he did not want his disciples to be pointed at and criticized by others when they encountered other disciples from Baiyun Sect in the future.
There were already more, and more disciples gathered around. It was impossible not to clarify this matter.
…
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao said coldly when he saw that Guan Zhen still wanted to deny it.
“Elder Guan, things have already come to this extend. Do you still want to play dumb?”
Guan Zhen frowned more when he heard that.
He was already angry at that point, but he didn’t lose his temper because of his reputation.
However, the surrounding disciples were already whispering to each other. That matter couldn’t be allowed to go unclarified.
Guan Zhen thought for a moment and said, “I don’t understand what senior sect leader means. Please explain yourself here.”
There would be rumors among the disciples if Guan Zhen invited Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao into the room for a private chat.
The best way was to make things clear was to confront the matter in front of the crowd.
Guan Zhen thought that he had done the right thing and was not afraid.
He would not be afraid if Daoist Spiritual Master were to say anything in the crowd.
However, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao sneered again and said, “Elder Guan, aren’t you afraid of losing your reputation in front of so many disciples?”
Guan Zhen could no longer suppress his anger at that point.
He looked straight at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao and said word by word, “I, Guan Zhen, am a righteous person. I have no guilt.
“If there is anything, senior sect leader. Just say it. I will as well proof that I am innocent in front of the disciples.”
Many disciples began to discuss upon hearing Guan Zhen’s words.
“Since master said so, there must be some misunderstanding.”
“Indeed, I don’t believe that master is someone who would do something that goes against his heart.”
“I don’t believe it either. There must be some misunderstanding.”
Many disciples had even begun to question Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao loudly, “Sect leader, please speak clearly!”
However, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao did not scold him when he heard these questions.
That was the effect he wanted.
Only in such a situation could he give Guan Zhen a hard slap.
Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao sneered and said as he faced the questioning voices from all around, “Elder Guan, I will speak frankly since you are not afraid of losing your reputation.”
“May I ask, did you ask your daughter Guan Xiaoyu to seduce Lin Qi into joining Yanhui Peak?”
All the disciples gasped upon hearing that.
Guan Zhen, on the other hand, was furious. He shouted with his blushed neck, “Yunxiao, you’re bulls.h.i.+tting!”
