After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Wen Ningqing was already in a frenzy, how could she stop? Even though she was at a disadvantage, her opponent was also injured.

If we don't teach this old woman a lesson today, people will think she's easy to bully!

The two cultivators also saw the flying bird and the girl in the distance, and immediately rushed over.

Lin Yan quickly bowed to the Nascent Soul cultivators who had suddenly appeared. Seeing the patterns on their robes, she realized they belonged to the same sect as her master, and she felt relieved.

"Little girl, tell me, why are these two fighting?"

"It's a long story, but in short, my master stood up for me and got into a fight with that venerable one." She couldn't explain it in just a few words. "The most important thing now is to stop them from fighting any further!"

I don't want my master to suffer a loss at the hands of Elder Lingyun!
"Oh dear, how can we stop this? The domain has already been opened; we can't just force our way in!"

Just as the two were struggling with their decision, the domain disappeared. The two quickly moved aside, helped Wen Ningqing up, and didn't even glance at the injured cultivator on the other side.

"The Venerable Lingyun of the Xuantian Sect injured my sect's peak master on the territory of my Miaofa Sect. Does he want to start a war?" Miaoyin asked coldly.

"Your sect's peak master's disciple crippled my personal disciple's leg. I came here to seek justice, but your sect's peak master deliberately protected him, which led to the argument. Is this how your sect behaves?"

Hearing Ling Yun spouting nonsense and distorting the truth, Lin Yan became anxious. However, since she couldn't control the flying bird, she simply flew over on her sword.

"Bullshit!" Lin Yan didn't care about profanity or manners anymore.

Old Deng is shameless! Why does he have to pretend to be so civilized?
She went up to him, pointed at him, and started yelling, "How shameless! It was clearly your disciple who made things difficult for me at the auction, and instead of disciplining your own disciple, you come here to lecture someone else's disciple! How utterly shameless!"

"You arrogant brat, who gave you the right to speak!" Ling Yun frowned, wanting to use his power to force him, but seeing that the three cultivators present were all from the Miaofa Sect, he was afraid that if they started fighting, things would get even worse, so he had no choice but to hold back.

After taking the pill, Wen Ningqing's injuries improved somewhat. She immediately beckoned to her disciple, telling him to hide behind her.

"Old Lingyun, it's not your place to lecture my disciple!" After she finished speaking, she said in a calm tone, "Disciple, please repeat what your teacher told you about what happened at the auction."

Lin Yan then recounted everything that happened at the auction. She admitted she hadn't done anything wrong in crippling Tao Zhizhi's kneecaps; if there was any fault, it was that she hadn't cut off Tao Zhizhi's legs!
When Tao Zhizhi returned home, she embellished her story, exaggerating the facts and tearfully denying any wrongdoing, claiming that she had been bullied by others.

“You wretched child, you were a liar back in the Xuan Tian Sect, often framing your junior sister. How can we believe your one-sided story?” Ling Yun questioned in a deep voice.

Lin Yan found it absurd and laughable! So this was the image he had of her?
Was it Tao Zhizhi's clumsy methods that gave him this impression of her? Not entirely! It was because he never treated her as his disciple, but as something he was forced to take in.

In his eyes, she was not even as good as a blade of grass or a flower. On Wenxin Peak, even a pebble was of higher status than him, a "personal disciple".

That's why, no matter how others bully her, slander her, or make her take the blame, Lingyun, her nominal "master," will always stand against her!
Now, hearing her say things like "she's a liar, she's framing me..." makes her want to laugh.

She looked at her master with a firm gaze and said, "Master, what I just said is absolutely true. All the cultivators who participated in the auction can testify to this! A simple investigation will reveal the truth."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ningqing coldly looked at Ling Yun: "I will verify what my disciple said. At that time, I will bring my disciple and the evidence to Xuantian Sect to seek justice for my disciple! You are not the only one who will seek justice for your disciple."

After saying this, they summoned the flying birds. The group boarded the birds and flew towards the Miaofa Sect.

The bird flew directly up Guiyun Peak and landed in front of the house. With the peak master of Miaofa Sect personally clearing the way, Lin Yan was able to enter Miaofa Sect without any hindrance, even without a token, and was not blocked by the barrier.

Wen Ningqing took out a string of golden bells and handed them to her, saying, "This is a token of my personal discipleship. With this token, you can freely enter and leave any part of Guiyun Peak."

She originally intended to hand it over to her apprentice during the apprenticeship ceremony, which would have made it seem more solemn and ceremonial, but unfortunately the apprenticeship ceremony could not be held for the time being.

After her apprentice received the bracelet and bell with both hands and put it on, she turned to Miaoyin and Rongce. "I'd like to ask you to take care of my apprentice for a few days."

Wen Ningqing felt the power within her body becoming even more restless, her face turning deathly pale. She hurriedly said, "If anyone bullies you, my disciple, don't worry about your master, just fight back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he teleported away.

I accidentally broke through to a higher level while fighting Ling Yun, the elder of the Xuan Tian Sect. Now I need to go into seclusion to advance and stabilize my cultivation!

After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, each subsequent advancement becomes extremely difficult. Some cultivators may spend hundreds of years without ever advancing a single level. Failure to break through carries the risk of being demoted.

Therefore, when Nascent Soul cultivators advance to the next level, they will enter a cave for seclusion.

Advancing to the Golden Core stage is difficult for cultivators, but there's no risk of downgrading, and the process is relatively safe. Once you sense and comprehend it, you might advance directly without needing to go into seclusion.

After Wen Ningqing disappeared from the spot, Miaoyin circled around the disciple she had brought back to examine her.

"Your talent is quite impressive, reaching the Golden Core stage at such a young age. Well, since you haven't held an apprenticeship ceremony with Venerable Duan Yi, why don't you become my disciple? Although I can't teach you formations, I can teach you swordsmanship. You're a sword cultivator too, aren't you?"

"This disciple has already offered the tea of ​​formal apprenticeship. Please, Venerable One, do not make fun of this junior."

Miaoyin looked regretful and said, "Then I can be the second master too. Don't worry, we don't limit the number of masters here."

"This..." Lin Yan looked troubled.

The master said that a second master had been chosen for her...

Rong Ce noticed the new disciple's awkwardness and smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, stop teasing her. Let's settle her in first, and then go register her and get her token so she can move freely within the sect."

"Okay, I'll take care of it. You can go ahead and do what you need to do."

After hearing this, Rong Ce flew away on his magical artifact. In the evening, he still had to teach, unlike Miao Yin, who neither became the sect leader nor the peak master, but just a supreme elder who didn't care about anything and didn't usually go fishing.

Miaoyin looked at the girl again and saw that she was holding two cute little ones. She wanted to reach out and touch them.

Before you even make a move, the bird will peck at you.

"Oh dear, why is this spirit pet so fierce?" (End of Chapter)
