Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect
Chapter 216 The First Female Character in a Wuxia Novel
Chen Qing bowed to his master and elders, saying, "This disciple cannot."
"Miss Zhao Lan saved my life, and I believe that not all members of the Demonic Sect are evil."
Just as not all people from reputable families are good people.
It varies from person to person.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhao Lan's smiling eyes.
A hint of surprise and disappointment flashed in the eyes of the radical elder. Could he really say such a thing in front of the Demonic Sect?
Even if it's true, I can't say it.
You come from a prestigious and upright family; one must learn to stand in one's right place.
Ning Buwei silently pinched the flesh on his thigh. Ouch. What had he done to deserve this?
One or two of their close disciples are all entangled with the Demonic Sect.
"How many members of the Demonic Sect have you met? How dare you speak so arrogantly?" Ning Buwei reprimanded him as soon as he opened his mouth.
If he doesn't speak up soon, the elders might give him a lecture later.
Chen Qing lowered his head and remained silent; he had indeed seen very few of them.
But the people who killed him were from a reputable and righteous sect.
Zhao Lan couldn't bear to see Chen Qing suffer, so she snorted and spoke up for Chen Qing, recounting the murderous deeds committed by the righteous sects.
"...This is the righteous sect you claim to be? It's no different from our demonic sect."
Her eyes held a mixture of disdain and amusement as she looked at the Green Mountain Sect members.
Elder Diao of the Punishment Hall stepped forward: "There is no evidence yet, please do not speak recklessly, Miss Lan."
As soon as he spoke, the elders echoed him:
"How can you believe a witch's words?"
"An investigation is needed; we cannot simply believe one person's words."
One after another, they uttered words of justice. Zhao Lan was used to their empty rhetoric of benevolence and morality, and simply snorted coldly.
But Chen Qing was different; he had always been highly regarded and loved by the elders.
I never imagined that the elders would be so unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Chen Qing stepped forward, wanting to testify for Zhao Lan, while Ning Buwei kept a close eye on his movements.
Sure enough, the moment he made a move, Ning Buwei immediately knocked the person unconscious.
He said to everyone in a bright light, "Ah Qing is just too tired."
Zhao Lan looked at Ning Buwei with cold eyes, but Ning Buwei remained unmoved, even wanting to take care of Chen Qing herself.
I would rather not agree completely.
After the two of them left, Ning Buwei instructed Diao Yikou: "Keep an eye on Zhao Lan and don't let her wander around the sect."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
Ning Buwei then selected several pillars of the elders and held a meeting—to discuss the question of Chen Qing's future.
Ning Qi, with her hands behind her back, followed Ning Buwei and found a stool to sit down on her own.
It's obvious they want to hear what happens next.
It was against the rules, but it was clear that the sect's most promising disciple, Chen Qing, was about to be ruined.
The elders could only remain silent, and as for Elder Han, his opinion alone was not important.
Ning Buwei, as the sect leader and master, spoke first, followed by the elders in turn.
The final conclusion was: considering our long-standing relationship, we'll give them another chance.
Let the elder who had the highest hopes for Chen Qing persuade him one last time.
Even if he no longer associates with Zhao Lan, he will still be a disciple of the Green Mountain Sect.
However, the position of the sect leader candidate will be cancelled.
After hearing the result for Chen Qing, Ning Qi quietly left.
Just as she stepped outside, someone ran up to her and said, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister Wange is fighting with the witch!"
Ning Qi didn't listen to the reason behind it; she went straight to Chen Qing's courtyard.
Sure enough, the courtyard was noisy.
Zhao Lan and Ning Wange have been stopped and separated.
The people who stopped them were dispersing the onlookers. When they saw Ning Qi, she nodded and greeted her, "Junior Sister Ning."
Luo An, a disciple of the Elder of the Personnel Hall, is a fifth-rank martial artist.
Ning Qi: "Thank you for your help, Senior Sister." She then looked at Ning Wange: "Sister, are you alright?"
His gaze swept over Ning Yuange, sizing her up and down.
Ning Wange's angry expression disappeared, and she shook her head: "It's alright, Senior Sister Luo arrived quickly."
Luo Ning: "It's only right to do this for my own junior sister."
Ning Wange thanked him anyway, and then talked with Luo Ning for a while before parting ways.
Zhao Lan had already turned and gone back into the house. Chen Qing, who was inside, was walking out because the noise outside had bothered him.
"What happened?"
Before he could even ask, Zhao Lan said sarcastically, "Your dear junior sister has come to find a doctor to treat you."
But she stopped him.
Zhao Lan dared not trust anyone from the Green Mountain Sect, fearing they might harm Chen Qing.
Chen Qing subconsciously walked outside, but Ning Qi and Ning Wange, of course, didn't leave; justice hadn't been served yet.
What happens when someone leaves?
I kindly found you a doctor, but you still found something wrong.
Ning Yuange explained her earlier kindness and Zhao Lan's overthinking, her gaze fixed on the two of them.
—Apologize to me.
Zhao Lan: "Your father deliberately knocked him unconscious. What kind of good person are you? I don't believe you shouldn't have done that."
She was perfectly justified.
Ning Qi: "Of course, then why didn't you take him with you?"
"Aren't there people of yours watching the door?"
Zhao Lan: "..." She wanted to take Chen Qing away, but wasn't she afraid that Chen Qing wouldn't agree?
She was speechless for a moment.
Ning Qi continued, "When you're a guest, you should act like one. Hitting the host is the most rude thing you can do."
"If you can't control the people you brought, I'll do it my way."
Her gaze fell on Chen Qing.
Chen Qing: "...She won't do it again." He knew his junior sister meant well for him, and he also knew his master meant him no harm.
But Zhao Lan didn't know that.
Both sides were acting in his best interest.
Ning Qi smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Senior brother, shouldn't you be saying that to me?"
Zhao Lan grabbed Chen Qing's arm.
Chen Qing patted her hand and apologized to Ning Wange.
Ning Wange nodded without saying a word. She had meddled this time, but she wouldn't do it again next time.
"Are you satisfied now, Junior Sister?" Chen Qing felt a sense of frustration in his chest; he didn't even know when it had happened.
Ning Qi: "It's alright."
She looked at Zhao Lan and said, "Miss Zhao, please don't involve my sister in your affairs with my senior brother."
"You can hit Chen Qing, resent Chen Qing, or even kill Chen Qing, but my sister was hurt because of you."
"I will not let you and Chen Qing get away with this."
Chen Qing stood there stunned, while Ning Qi and Ning Wange left immediately.
The sect quickly tried to dissuade Chen Qing, but Chen Qing insisted on his idea.
He only associated with members of the Demonic Cult, and Zhao Lan was not an evil person.
Therefore, the Green Mountain Sect had no choice but to remove him from the list.
Chen Qing never expected this outcome. He sought out the Elder of the Personnel Hall, who had always valued him highly.
He clearly did nothing wrong.
"What you taught me is that a person's goodness or badness has nothing to do with their status." Chen Qing was reluctant to leave the Green Mountain Sect.
This is where he grew up.
Elder of the Personnel Hall: "So you and Zhao Lan are breaking up?"
"...I can't do it."
"You can't have your cake and eat it too."
