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

Chapter 209 Thorough Liquidation 2
"I have another matter to ask everyone to witness. My Xuantian Sect has wronged young friend Lin in many ways. On behalf of the sect, I apologize to you. It was the sect's negligence that caused you to suffer injustice."

After speaking, Sect Leader Xuan even bowed to her, feigning remorse.

Many people below praised Sect Leader Xuan for his kindness, righteousness, and noble character...

Lin Yan forced a smile, but inwardly she cursed the old bastard, Sect Leader Xuan, for being so cunning! With just a few words, he easily brushed aside the oppression she had suffered in the Xuan Tian Sect.

There will inevitably be competition within a sect, and it's unavoidable that some disciples will suffer some injustices because of it. If she continues to be so relentless now, it would seem like she's making a mountain out of a molehill and being unreasonable.

After all, as the sect leader, he personally apologized to her in front of everyone. What more could she ask for? If she doesn't accept it, then she's just being too dramatic!

This move really put her in her own hands!

But how could she accept this! The bullying she suffered at the Xuan Tian Sect would have killed countless people if they weren't so resilient!
He was lucky to be reborn, otherwise he would have been cannon fodder killed by the main characters and devoured by monsters, a tool to highlight the main characters. How could he possibly be alive to stand here and seek justice for himself?

Did this old man think she would just swallow this bitter pill? No way! No one can make her endure the bullying and let it go with a mere, perfunctory apology.

At this moment, there were many disciples of the Xuantian Sect participating in the ceremony below the stage, including many of them who had bullied Lin Yan in the past.

They were worried about being purged in the future, but seeing the sect leader do this put their minds at ease.

Some even thought Lin Yan was making a mountain out of a molehill. So what if she was bullied? Who hasn't been bullied? Who else would make such a fuss like her? She made the sect leader apologize to her in front of so many people!
With a personality like hers, it's no wonder she was ostracized by her sect. If they had been more ruthless back then and killed her, none of this would have happened!

They were just following the crowd from Wenxin Peak in bullying her. With so many people bullying her, shouldn't she reflect on her own behavior?
Why don't other people get bullied as much? To put it bluntly, the problem lies more with her!

Many of those involved in the bullying developed this mindset: they rationalized and glorified their wrongdoings, even shifting all the blame onto the victims.

Lin Yan took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm sorry, Sect Leader Xuan, but I cannot accept your apology. As a junior, it would be too much of an honor for me to accept your apology."

She spoke with utmost sincerity, even bowing deeply to Sect Leader Xuan. "Disciples should bear the consequences of their mistakes; otherwise, it will only encourage them and make them even more reckless in the future. Moreover, I cannot bear your bow, so please, Sect Leader Xuan, consider this carefully."

A small number of people below felt it was a bit strange that an older sect leader would apologize to a young girl whose bone age was only twenty. But after she said it so sincerely, they suddenly understood.

Master Xuan's actions are putting pressure on the young girl, naturally placing her in a bad position. If the young girl can't withstand the pressure, won't she be forced to accept an apology and receive no compensation?
More than ten days have passed since the contents of the Mind-Reading Mirror were seen, and few people are talking about the bullying by the Xuantian Sect anymore, but that doesn't mean that everyone has forgotten the scenes of being bullied in the little girl's memory.

After being bullied so badly and nearly losing her life, can an apology really be enough to make it all go away? Those who participated in the bullying received no punishment whatsoever—is that reasonable?
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Lin Yan immediately squeezed out tears, looking very aggrieved.

"I am terrified by your apology, senior. All I want is for those who bullied me to apologize, make amends, and receive the punishment they deserve. Is that too much to ask? I don't want their lives either. Did they consider my life when they attacked me?"

Lin Yan's bright and eye-catching clothes drew attention, and when she cried helplessly, people's eyes would focus on her, immediately reminding them of how she had been bullied before, making them even more moved.

Many people began to understand her previous aloofness and wariness towards others. If they had experienced similar things, they would probably have developed a mentality of seeing enemies everywhere. Her words, coupled with her isolated and helpless situation, made many people stand on her side, and they began to look at the disciples of the Xuantian Sect with strange eyes.

Someone timidly said from the crowd, "She...she's actually a polite and kind female cultivator, isn't she? Because she was bullied, she had to pretend to be indifferent, sigh..."

The others echoed his sentiments.

"Tsk, the Xuantian Sect has done a lot of harm! A disciple who was originally gentle and talented has been forced into this state."

"I don't think that sect leader is any good either! People have been persecuted like this, and instead of punishing the disciples and making appropriate compensation, he just wants to apologize in public and force that girl to back down! Bah, how shameless!"

……

Many people instinctively distanced themselves from the Xuantian Sect disciples, casting appraising and unfriendly glances at them.

Master Xuan's face darkened, never expecting to be forced into such a predicament by a mere girl.

With so many people below and the other party having Venerable Duan Yi as his backer, he couldn't do anything too outrageous.

He now resents his junior brother even more for creating so many messes for him! If he doesn't like this disciple and can't treat her well, he might as well just kill her instead of keeping her here to come and settle scores!
"Young friend Lin, you flatter me. I am merely setting an example so that the disciples know that mistakes must be corrected. As for your request, my Xuantian Sect will do its best to fulfill it."

Upon hearing this, she immediately followed suit with proper etiquette, cupping her hands and bowing slightly: "Sect Leader Xuan is wise and has been careless; this junior admires him!"

Sect Leader Xuan's brow twitched; he sensed that she wasn't about to say anything good!
As expected, she made a demand: in front of everyone, all those who had bullied her would come forward one by one to bow and apologize to her, and the Xuantian Sect would compensate her with 60,000 high-grade spirit stones.

He thought that was the end of it, but she continued.
"Of course, they apologized and Xuantian Sect made compensation, so the matter is considered settled. As for why Sect Leader Xuan didn't punish them, that's an internal matter for your sect, and outsiders have no say in it."

That's putting him in a very difficult position! If he doesn't make a public statement, others will definitely think he's abusing his power and giving other sects more reason to laugh at him!

The Xuantian Sect has now become a joke!
He wanted to kill the girl on the spot, but he could still put on a kind face.

"Young friend Lin's request is not excessive..."

The first two points were indeed reasonable, and even if he wanted to find fault, he couldn't do anything about it! Asking for 60,000 spirit stones was less than last time, but for a major sect, this amount of spirit stones was not something they couldn't afford.
