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

Chapter 237 You want to drag me into the abyss and disrupt my Dao heart? Do you deserve it?
"No...no! My feelings for you aren't just obsession!" he quickly retorted. "I truly love you...truly..."

He loved but could not have her, leaving him only with a heart full of pain.

Why wouldn't she believe in herself and accept his love? Was he destined to love her but not be loved in return?

so painful...

Why is her heart so cruel? Is it made of stone? I love her so much, why can't I move her heart?

It is said that the Mo family members are the most devoted and single-minded in their pursuit of Taoism through love, and he inherited this trait.

Not wanting to hear her refuse again, Mo Yu left in a hurry.

Lin Yan stayed in the room alone, her face as dark as the bottom of a pot. She told herself that it was unwise to make a move on someone else's turf, and that's how she suppressed her surging murderous intent.

That damn thing, using her to attain enlightenment! No wonder he couldn't shake her off; it turns out he saw her as an unrequited love.

He struggled and gained insights amidst the pain of unrequited love, thereby enhancing his cultivation.

If I really get together with him, will he have to kill his wife to prove his enlightenment in the future?
Thinking about this, she felt utterly disgusted, as if a fly had been forcibly shoved into her mouth.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she rationally told herself that it was just a guess, just her feeling, and she couldn't wrongly accuse someone without clear evidence.

Pushing open the door, she decided to tell Li Qiu that she was going back first and to have someone inform Elder Rong Ce.

Since the gift money has already been given and the elders have been introduced, there's no need for the guest to stay.

Li Qiu was talking with two fellow disciples and disciples from another sect when she saw her coming and immediately waved.

"This is the champion of this Immortal Sect Competition, and the newly accepted disciple of Venerable Duan Yi. If you want to spar, you should go find her."

When she walked over and heard Li Qiu's words, she felt as if an ellipsis flashed above her head.

Since the other party had no ill intentions and he didn't want to offend them, he addressed the eager cultivators, saying, "You can spar with me, but the current situation doesn't allow it."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't worry, we definitely won't choose today for our sparring. We're all going to the Miaofa Sect for exchange and learning in a while, I wonder if we'll have the opportunity then..."

"Maybe," she said, not giving a definitive answer.

"Let's add each other on the Jade Disc number. We'll send you a message when we arrive at the Wonderful Dharma Sect."

"..." She was unwilling, but she didn't actually leave with a bad attitude, which made all three parties lose face.

"Oh right, I haven't asked Fellow Daoist Lin when your apprenticeship ceremony will be held yet? Has Venerable Duan Yi confirmed the time with you?" Li Qiu suddenly asked.

"I think the apprenticeship ceremony is a bit troublesome, so I suggested to my master that we not have it. I don't know if my master accepted my suggestion." She said, mixing truth and falsehood.

The Venerable One usually holds ceremonies when accepting disciples, inviting elders and friends to participate. The monks who come to observe the ceremony will bring gifts. Those who cannot come will also send a gift.

There was no formal apprenticeship ceremony when Ling Yun accepted her as his disciple, so she naturally didn't receive any gifts.

However, when that old man accepted his fifth and sixth personal disciples at the same time, he held a ceremony and invited many cultivators to attend. Piles of gifts were placed in the main hall.

At the time, Tao Zhizhi asked her in a serious tone if she had received any gifts when she became her apprentice. Then, realizing what she had done, she covered her mouth in a pretentious manner, her eyes filled with smugness, but she apologized to her in a soft and coquettish tone.

Several senior brothers walked in and, without distinguishing right from wrong, accused her of being jealous of their junior sister, and condemned her. Then, the old man who came in also said that her state of mind was too bad and punished her to kneel on the Cliff of Repentance for a whole night.

The thought made her feel disgusted! Fortunately, those people died at her hands, which was a great relief to her.

The only downside was that he didn't feel much pleasure when killing them. Li Qiu covered her mouth in surprise after hearing this: "You're so sensible. No wonder Venerable Duan Yi accepted you as his disciple. Although there was no formal apprenticeship ceremony, I certainly won't skimp on your gifts."

After saying that, she smiled and looked at the disciples who wanted to spar: "At least we've added the communication jade disc, so you won't be short of gifts, right?"

"..." The group looked at each other, so embarrassed that they scratched their toes on the ground.

Before they could speak, Li Qiu interjected, "I think there's no better time than now. Why don't we send the gift first? It would be a good way to show our goodwill."

She took out a shimmering necklace from her storage bag. Even without touching it, she could feel the spiritual energy flowing through it, and it was clearly no ordinary item.

"This is a sixth-grade defensive necklace. It is certainly not as good as the master-disciple gift given by Venerable Duan Yi, but it is a small gift but a big sentiment. I hope you will not find it offensive."

Lin Yan realized what was going on and quickly accepted the gift, saying, "How could I possibly mind? I'm overjoyed!"

After speaking, his gaze fell on those disciples, his eyes filled with expectation.

They originally intended to give away any magical artifact or prop, but since someone offered a sixth-grade magical artifact right from the start, they felt they couldn't offer anything shabby.

After browsing through the storage bags, they all unanimously gave away fifth-grade magic treasures.

Lin Yan understood then what her senior sister meant when she said that attending such banquets wouldn't be a loss, and that being shameless could even make a fortune.

She accepted the gifts and stood there chatting with them, all smiles.

Before long, a disciple from the Xuantian Sect came over and said that the elder had something to discuss with her. Li Qiu gave her a wink, and she understood and left with him.

After walking a little further away, she thanked Li Qiu and said that the gifts she received could be split in half.

"No need, no need, I'm just returning a favor," Li Qiu waved her hand in refusal.

"Favors?" Lin Yan looked puzzled.

What favor did she have to offer? She hadn't helped the other party in any way, had she?

"Your senior sister once helped me. This time, at her request, I'm asking you to mention your identity to the disciples of other sects so that everyone knows you are Venerable Duan Yi's newly accepted disciple."

"Oh...I see..." She had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The fact that the senior sister, whom the senior sister had never met, could treat the junior sister, who hadn't even had her formal apprenticeship ceremony yet, with such kindness shows that she has a heart of kinship and a sense of camaraderie among fellow disciples.

What about the bullying I suffered from my fellow disciples in the past?

After leaving the Xuantian Sect, she discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside!
She didn't show her sadness on her face, but forced a smile and followed Li Qiu to find Elder Rong Ce.

They were not junior members of the Mohist school, nor did they have any kinship with the Mohists. Generally, they could go back after participating in the ceremony.

Upon arriving at the destination, Elder Rong Ce waved to her and said, "We were just talking about your matter. How did things go?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan immediately realized that the elder was asking about her and Mo Yu.

Mo Yu just pulled me out without caring about what others thought, which could easily lead to misunderstandings and make people think that he and I have some kind of private relationship.

To avoid any further misunderstandings and to prevent elders from playing matchmaker, she explained, "Elder, I had a falling out with Fellow Daoist Mo Yu before, but that was due to a misunderstanding, and it has all been cleared up now."

She claimed it was a falling out, completely disavowing any romantic involvement between them.
