Half a month later, Luo Yiyan's injuries had almost healed.

Lin Zhixu hadn't visited him once in the past two weeks. He remembered what Lin Zhixu had said when he left that day, and his heart felt heavy.

She tried to go out and look for him several times, but Yan Lingcang stopped her each time.

"Master, my injuries are really healed." Luo Yiyan stood at the entrance of the cave, having been bounced back by the barrier for the fourth time.

Yan Lingcang sat cross-legged on the futon, not even lifting his eyelids: "Even if you leave Wucang Peak, you won't be able to enter Qiyue Peak. You might as well stay here and cultivate properly."

"What grudge do you have with Immortal Venerable Feng Heng that has led to such an irreconcilable conflict?" Luo Yiyan couldn't help but ask.

Yan Lingcang did not answer.

Luo Yiyan persisted: "Even if you have a huge grudge, what does it have to do with me? Zhixu and I don't want to get involved in your affairs."

Yan Lingcang opened his eyes helplessly: "The moment you both became our disciples, this matter was no longer up to you."

He paused, his tone flat yet cruel, "Besides, I think Lin Zhixu has already compromised with Yu Linzhou. He doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

"I don't believe it." Luo Yiyan gritted her teeth. "It must have been Immortal Venerable Feng Heng who forced him. I'm going to find out the truth."

Yan Lingcang looked at the stubborn young man in front of him and felt a rare headache coming on.

He said that it was right for him not to take on apprentices.

Taking on apprentices means karma and trouble.

Yan Lingcang finally gave in, telling himself that this was the last time.

"Are you sure that if you get an answer after going there, you won't bother with it anymore?"

Luo Yiyan nodded vigorously.

Yan Lingcang opened the barrier: "Go, I hope you keep your word."

Luo Yiyan thanked him happily and turned to run down the mountain.

For the past two weeks, he had been cooped up in his cave, doing nothing but recuperating, and he was feeling restless and uncomfortable all over.

Now that his master had finally relented, he felt like the wind was blowing through him, wishing he could take a single step into Qiyue Peak.

As I passed a secluded stone path halfway up the mountain, a commotion came from behind the bamboo grove.

He didn't want to pay attention, but when he heard the words "trash" and "serves you right" mixed in with laughter, he stopped in his tracks.

He walked over and saw four or five young disciples forming a circle, blocking someone in front of the stone wall.

The person who was blocked had their head down, so their face could not be seen.

"Tsk, Chu Yuxiu, weren't you so arrogant before? How come you don't even dare to fart now?"

"That's right. You used to think you were superior just because your father was an elder, but now that you're a good-for-nothing, you know what it feels like to be bullied, don't you?"

Chu Yuxiu lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging, but he never swung them.

His cultivation level had not yet recovered, so he couldn't even break free from the encirclement of these people, let alone fight back.

The wound on my right arm was throbbing slightly; I didn't know if it was from hitting the stone wall when I was pushed earlier.

Although his right arm has been reattached, it looks no different from that of an ordinary person. The meridians are not connected, so his right arm is just for show.

"What are you doing!" Luo Yiyan strode over, her voice filled with anger. "How can you bully your fellow disciples?"

When the disciples turned around and recognized Luo Yiyan, their arrogance immediately subsided.

Luo Yiyan is now the only direct disciple of Immortal Venerable Wucang, and his cultivation has broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. He is far beyond what they can afford to offend.

"Senior Brother Luo..." The group bowed awkwardly.

Luo Yiyan approached and realized that the one being bullied was actually Chu Yuxiu, and her expression froze.

If he had known it was Chu Yuxiu, he wouldn't have cared.

One of them quickly explained, "Senior Brother Luo, we didn't cause trouble. He bullied us before, and we were just angry... We won't do it again."

Luo Yiyan frowned: "Aren't you afraid Elder Chu will blame you for bullying him like this?"

Even if Chu Yuxiu is crippled, his father is not.

Another person chimed in, "Senior Brother Luo probably doesn't know yet, but Elder Xuanqing and Immortal Venerable Fengheng have jointly sued him. Elder Chu is currently imprisoned by the Discipline Hall, and it's uncertain when he'll be released."

"Moreover, I heard that he committed a serious crime. Even if he gets out, he will probably have his cultivation destroyed and be expelled from the sect."

Luo Yiyan was stunned.

He had been recuperating for half a month and had no idea that such a big thing had happened outside.

Luo Yiyan hesitated, then said, "Then you should also be careful not to go too far."

The others were taken aback. "Senior Brother Luo, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Luo Yiyan shook her head: "I'm not that kind. Besides, he bullied you first, so it's normal for you to want to vent your anger. Just be careful."

The group was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Luo, we're just saying it, we won't actually do anything."

Luo Yiyan nodded and was about to leave when Chu Yuxiu's resentful voice came from behind him: "Luo Yiyan, you are hailed as a leader of the righteous path, yet you stand by and watch your fellow disciples be bullied without offering any help? If Immortal Venerable Wucang knew, he would surely be disgraced by you!"

Luo Yiyan was already in a bad mood, and his words completely ignited her anger.

He turned around, raised his hand, and slapped Chu Yuxiu across the face, sending his face to the side.

"I may hate evil, but I'm not a coward. You tried to kill me back then, almost killing me. Your father has targeted me time and time again, and now you expect me to help you?"

"Chu Yuxiu, you should be glad I'm not the kind of person to kick someone when they're down. Otherwise, do you think I wouldn't have been like them, seeking revenge for every wrong done to me?"

The people next to Luo Yiyan looked at her with admiration.

Senior Brother Luo is so handsome!

Actually, they initially thought that Senior Brother Luo would scold them, but they didn't expect him to be so understanding!

Chu Yuxiu turned his face away from the slap, saw Luo Yiyan's threatening gaze, covered his swollen cheek, and shrank back against the stone wall.

Looking at his cowardly and bullying behavior, Luo Yiyan felt like she had punched a cotton ball. She rolled her eyes in anger, turned around and left.

Seeing Chu Yuxiu's appearance, the onlookers lost interest in continuing to tease him, exchanged glances, and dispersed.

"Let's go, let's go, this is boring."

"He's already in this state, so he's not going to have a good ending anyway. This is a way of avenging us."

"Exactly, we're not like him, bullying the weak. Now that I think about it, it would be better to use that skill to cultivate."

Soon only Chu Yuxiu remained.

He leaned against the cold stone wall, covering the burning handprint on his face, his lowered eyelashes concealing the turbulent emotions in his eyes.

Aaaaah! Luo Yiyan, die! Die, die!

Everyone from the Tianheng Sect should die!

Suddenly remembering that his father was still locked in the disciplinary hall, a wave of fear surged up his spine.

With his father protecting him, he could act arrogantly in the Tianheng Sect, and no one dared to mess with him.

But now my father is in dire straits. He has lost an arm and all his cultivation, and all those he bullied will come knocking on his door one by one.

These people are only getting the upper hand verbally today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after?

Moreover, his father committed a serious crime because of him and was about to be expelled from the Tianheng Sect. Does this mean they will become mortals and experience birth, aging, sickness, and death?

The thought of this possibility made him tremble all over. He finally realized he was afraid and burst into tears.

He doesn't want to! He doesn't want to be kicked out! He doesn't want to become just an ordinary person!

He was a prodigy, how could he end up in such a miserable state?

His life shouldn't be like this!
