All eyes turned to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan then reacted and quickly explained, "I think this is unfair. I got these results through my own hard work, while they relied on tricks."
Li Qingfeng coldly said, "So do you think Liu YuXin and Zhang WanLing relied on tricks? Tell me if you think they relied on tricks or not."
"Is it not a trick for you to rob others of their demon beast cores?"
"Can you do whatever you want while others can't do anything?"
Li Qingfeng got increasingly angry, "Also, why didn't you save your fellow disciples when they were in danger, but instead wanted to take advantage of their misfortune?"
"If all this was real, how many fellow disciples would you have killed and how many lives would you have taken? You must have killed no less than a hundred people in the secret realm!"
At this point, Ye Xuan did not show any shame, but became even more furious.
"This is simply a world of the survival of the fittest. There is nothing wrong with what I did. The weak should be prepared for their fate."
Lin Qingying smiled coldly, "Oh! So the strong can kill whoever they want? I want to kill you now, you have no objection, right?"
Ye Xuan was at a loss for words.
"What do you think is the purpose of our sect? To be your stepping stone? Or a place to protect the weak?"
"In my opinion, it's neither. The purpose of our sect is not to satisfy someone's personal goal, but to protect the peace of our land and carry on our legacy."
"There are not only cultivators in this world, but also demons and those bald donkeys from the West who are sanctimonious on the outside but rotten on the inside."
"I have nothing more to say. You think about it yourself!"
Lin Qingying thought of something and continued, "Right, if you make a mistake, you should admit it, take your beating standing straight. A person who only makes excuses is looked down upon by us sect leaders."
"It's up to you now."
Li Qingfeng followed up, "I hope you take sect leader Lin's teaching to heart."
Ye Xuan expressionlessly said, "Yes."
But he was furious inside and swore to pay back the humiliation he suffered today a thousand fold.
After announcing the rewards, Li Qingfeng directly distributed them to everyone.
After spending these days together, Sima Ruoxue would rather die than become a mole. She felt disgusted.
So now she took her reward and went to split the loot with her fellow disciples, without even glancing at Ye Xuan's group.
Ye Xuan had thought Sima Ruoxue would give him the medicinal plant he wanted. But Sima Ruoxue didn't even look at him and just left. He was furious inside but showed no expression on his face.
"Let's go."
Xiao Chenfeng's cave was crowded with people.
Sima Ruoxue stood on a stone table. "Everyone gets 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Come up and get them yourself."
After distributing the spirit stones, Sima Ruoxue asked, "Who wants these medicinal materials?"
Everyone said they didn't need them for now. Sima Ruoxue said, "Then let's auction them."
"What about pills? I'll exchange with spirit stones if anyone wants them." Everyone chose the pills they needed and gave Sima Ruoxue the matching spirit stones.
Sima Ruoxue then redistributed the spirit stones.
It was a bit tricky to distribute the cultivation methods. Many people were not suitable to practice those methods. In the end, she could only promise them priority next time.
Everyone left happily with great joy.
Wang Ziyan stretched her arms, "Finally I can rest. Don't look for me these days. I'm going to White Tiger City to have fun."
Xiao Chenfeng advised, "Junior sister, you haven't cultivated well for a long time recently. Master is very unhappy with you."
"I'll definitely cultivate well when I come back."
Wang Ziyan took Sima Ruoxue and left the sect, flying towards White Tiger City.
On the other hand, Lin Qingying announced, "Everyone, come back to the sect after a month. You can have unlimited fun this month."
What could the Grand Elder say? It had been agreed before they came.
After a few more words, Lin Qingying bid the sect leaders farewell and rushed to White Tiger City.
Upon arriving at White Tiger City, Lin Qingying headed towards the tea house.
When she entered the tea house, she didn't see Tang Xiaoyu and asked Xiao Lian about his whereabouts.
Xiao Lian told her Tang Xiaoyu hadn't been there for over ten days and she'd have to ask Lu Changchun for specifics.
"Where's Xiaoyu's uncle?"
"I think he's still at Orchid Lodge. He hasn't been to the tea house for days too."
"I see, thanks."
"Don't mention it, Lin sister. If you get news about Xiaoyu, please let me know."
"Sure. I gotta go now."
"Okay, bye Lin sister."
"Bye!"
Seeing it was getting late, Lin Qingying went straight to Tang Xiaoyu's home.
Upon entering the living room, she saw Lu Changchun cleaning.
"Where's Xiaoyu?"
Lu Changchun took out Tang Xiaoyu's letter and handed it to Lin Qingying after seeing her come in.
"Xiaoyu joined the army. This is the letter he left for you."
"I shouldn't say too much about your relationship. But I can't help saying something."
Lin Qingying expressionlessly said, "Just say it if you want to say something. Don't sell me the mystery."
"Then I'll just say it. Don't get angry."
"Speak up."
"From my understanding of Xiaoyu, you two have no chance left."
Lin Qingying's expression changed instantly. The aura emanating from her stopped Lu Changchun from saying another word.
"I'll get what I want no matter what. If I can't get it, I'll destroy it with my own hands so no one else can get it either."
"Do you think we still have a chance now?"
Lu Changchun immediately changed his attitude, "What no chance? Who the hell said that? You two are a match made in heaven!"
Lin Qingying nodded satisfactorily, "Not bad, you learn quickly."
"You flatter me too much, senior Lin."
"Did Xiaoyu say anything before he left?"
"No, he just left you a letter."
"I see. Carry on with your work!"
When she got to the door, Lin Qingying added, "Help us look after the house Xiaoyu and I bought. I don't want Xiaoyu to have nowhere to live when he comes back."
"Please rest assured, senior Lin."
"I'll head back."
"Have a nice day, senior Lin."
After seeing Lin Qingying off, Lu Changchun plopped down on the ground, "Xiaoyu, what kind of being have you provoked? Wish yourself good luck!"
Back in the room, Lin Qingying waved her hand casually and the room instantly became spotless without a speck of dust.
Sitting on the bed, Lin Qingying opened the letter.
What caught her eye was the chicken-scratch handwriting. It wasn't that Tang Xiaoyu couldn't write properly, but one needed practice to write beautifully. His handwriting wouldn't look the same as before after getting a new body.
Sister Lin:
By the time you read this letter, I'll be on my way to the frontline.
I'm afraid the odds are against me for coming back alive this time. No matter if I can come back alive or not, I want to tell you what's on my mind.
I'm not someone with big ideals or the guts to defy fate or heavens. I have no thoughts of going against the will of heaven since heaven owes me nothing.
That said, I'm also a coward who fears trouble and am particularly cowardly. As for merits, I don't know if loving the elderly and the young, honesty, keeping one's word, and doing good deeds to others and worrying about our country and people can be considered merits or not?
I personally think these are merits. But in this world where the law of the jungle prevails, people like me are probably fools in your eyes!
Lin Qingying laughed when she read this part, "What a silly boy."
