Chapter 14 Truths Exposed
Canglan Zhenren couldn't speak for a long while.
The other cultivators hesitated only a second before swarming my senior brother and sister, desperate to register for Heishui Sect.
Prime location, abundant resources, and connections like this—who wouldn't join?
Canglan Zhenren gritted his teeth and blocked my path.
In less than an hour, his disciple had lost the sect-protecting beast.
The sect leader would never forgive him.
"Mingxi, you're still part of Wentian Sect."
"Sending you to Heishui Sect was only temporary. You should return now!"
Before I could reply, my master appeared behind me.
He smiled and held up my identity token.
"Sorry, I just met your sect leader and retrieved Mingxi's token."
"From then on, Mingxi belongs to Heishui Sect."
Canglan Zhenren collapsed in despair.
Lin Yuan'er saw her master like this and started crying.
"Master, Yuan'er didn't mean it. You'll forgive me, right?"
Canglan Zhenren slapped her away, glaring with hatred.
"It's all your fault! Who allowed you to summon the flood dragon?"
"You don't even know your own limits—why did I ever take you as disciple!"
Lin Yuan'er sobbed.
"Didn't Master say Yuan'er could do anything?"
"That was before! When you joined, you were gifted. I thought you were heaven's chosen, so I gave you everything."
"Who knew you'd only chase romance, all beauty and no substance."
"If I'd known, I never would have sent Mingxi away!"
Lin Yuan'er's eyes widened, voice shaking.
"So it's all my fault?"
"When Master was ambiguous with me, why didn't you call me empty beauty then?"
"Isn't it only because I became someone else's dao companion that you resent me?"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Ambiguity between master and disciple was the greatest scandal in the cultivation world.
By exposing it, Lin Yuan'er ensured Canglan Zhenren had no place left in Wentian Sect.
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Lin Yuan'er turned to Gu Tingchuan for help.
But Gu Tingchuan had already vanished.
