Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Fa Ma nodded, agreeing with Gu He's words. Gu He turned his head slightly and looked towards the towering Yunlan Mountain.

Judging from Yunshan’s performance at that time, Yunshan should have known about this.

I just don’t know how Yunshan plans to deal with it.

Inside the Yunlan Sect's main hall, Yun Yun, the Sect Master, sat in the main seat, while Yun Shan sat beside him leisurely drinking tea. Below, Yun Leng, who had been identified as a criminal of the Yunlan Sect, knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Yun Yun frowned, stared at Yun Leng and asked coldly.

"Yun Ling, do you have any objection to the punishment that the teacher gave you earlier?"

"I accept the guilt willingly."

Yun Leng's face was filled with gloom, and he responded bitterly.

Should he be thankful that he saved his life?

But what he had done would be forever printed in the sect's history as a negative example for all current and future disciples of the Yunlan Sect, and he would bear the infamy forever.

In Yun Leng's opinion, perhaps the three elders killed by Yun Yun earlier was actually a good ending.

Seeing Yun Leng in front of her with a dejected look on his face, a trace of pity flashed in Yun Yun's eyes.

This great elder who had dedicated nearly half his life to the Yunlan Sect has now ended up like this.

Yun Yun has never doubted the contribution that Yun Leng has made to the Yunlan Sect. When she, the sect leader, was traveling outside, Yun Leng was in charge of all the major and minor matters in the sect.

Yun Ling manages not only the disciples of Yunlan Sect, but also the expenses, resources, and future talents of Yunlan Sect. Even Nalan Yanran, the talented young sect leader, was recruited by Yun Ling on his own initiative, no matter what the purpose was.

None of these things fell from the sky out of thin air. They were all made possible thanks to Yunling's operation. This is an absolute fact.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Yun Leng, the Yunlan Sect would not have developed to this level in the past ten years, and it is even possible that it would have declined.

Yun Yun clenched her fists slightly, then took a deep breath. The reluctance in her eyes gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a look of determination.

However, the crimes he committed cannot be erased and are the bottom line that must never be crossed.

His past achievements cannot offset the sins he committed.

Yun Yun will never forget the contributions Yun Leng made to the Yunlan Sect.

But this is definitely not his golden ticket to get out of jail free!

"Yun Ling, from today on, you will be demoted to a menial disciple! You will repent for the crimes you have committed for the rest of your life!"

"Yes."

Yun Leng responded in a deep voice, his heart already filled with despair.

I might as well die now.

There was no life in Yun Leng's eyes. When he stood up and was about to leave, he saw Yun Yun suddenly stand up.

"Thank you for all you have done for Yunlan Sect over the years. On behalf of all the disciples of Yunlan Sect, I would like to formally express my gratitude to you."

Immediately, in front of Yun Leng's shocked gaze, Yun Yun bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years."

"this?!"

A little light appeared in Yun Leng's lifeless eyes, and then he saw Yun Yun stand up with a look of apology in his eyes.

"If I had been fulfilling my duties as a clan leader all these years and had not traveled around, you would not have committed such a crime."

"So I am also responsible for the crime you committed. It was all because of my negligence as the sect leader."

"I will also record these things in the clan history, and will not hide anything."

"I will never let the future disciples of the Yunlan Sect think that this crime is all your fault! As the Sect Master, I am also not to blame!"

As Yun Yun said this, her purple eyes stared at Yun Leng.

Looking at Yun Yun's serious eyes, Yun Leng knew that she was serious.

Yun Leng couldn't help but reveal a little moisture in the corners of his eyes.

Everyone has seen what I have done for the Yunlan Sect over the years, and no one has forgotten it!

His merits cannot offset the crimes he committed, but likewise, his crimes cannot offset his merits!

Yun Leng raised his arm and wiped away his tears with his sleeve. Then he clasped his hands together, his eyes bright, and saluted Yun Yun solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Sect Master. Yun Leng will definitely learn from his mistakes and change for the better!"

"I don't ask for forgiveness from others, I just want to atone for my past!"

"If my story can serve as a warning to the disciples of the Yunlan Sect, I will have no regrets!!!"

After saying that, Yun Leng turned around and strode away.

Looking at Yun Leng leaving the hall, Yun Yun's eyes were filled with grief, and she sat down on her seat as if she had lost all strength.

After a long time, he whispered to Yunshan beside him.

"Sorry, teacher."

"You personally handed the Yunlan Sect to me, but now it has caused such a disaster."

"Disciple, I am ashamed of your trust."

Hearing Yun Yun's self-condemnation, Yun Shan paused slightly while sipping his teacup, and then responded indifferently.

"It's not easy to be the sect leader. When I handed the position to you, I didn't expect you to be able to do it right the first time."

"All growth requires a price to be paid. This incident can be regarded as a lesson for you. It is not necessarily a completely bad thing."

"Take this incident as a spur and do your best to make up for your previous mistakes."

After listening to Yunshan's words, Yunyun nodded heavily.

At this moment, Yunshan put down the teacup in his hand, waved his hand gently to close the door of the hall, and looked at Yun Yun with doubt in his eyes.

"Then, Yun Ling's matter has been resolved. Now it's your turn."

"Forehead?!"

Yun Yun's expression suddenly changed, and before she could say anything, Yun Shan spoke first.

But the tone of voice contained a hint of suppressed anger.

"Tell me, what's going on between you and Xiao Yan?"

Chapter 275 Nalan Yanran still needs to practice

Listening to Yunshan's angry words, Yun Yun's whole body tensed up, and then she turned her head away weakly.

"Don't worry about this, teacher. I can handle it myself."

"Can you handle it?!"

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Yunshan instantly got angry and slammed the table. The table collapsed because it could not withstand Yunshan's force. The teacups on it also broke into pieces on the ground, and the tea spilled at Yunshan's feet, forming a small puddle.

What followed was Yunshan’s angry roar.

"They already have a child! Xiao Yan doesn't even know anything! Is this what you said you could handle it yourself?!"

It's no wonder that Yunshan was so angry. Although he and Yunyun were master and apprentice, they were as close as father and daughter. As an old father, he went into seclusion, and when he came back, his daughter was pregnant before marriage, and the man was totally unaware of the matter. How could he not be angry!

Listening to Yunshan's scolding, Yun Yun said nothing, with her legs together and her hands on her legs. The dignified leader of the Yunlan Sect sat quietly like a little girl at this time, not daring to say a word.

Seeing Yun Yun's reaction, Yun Shan breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mentality, raised his hand to gently wipe away the tea stains on his clothes, and asked in a deep voice.

"What do you think of that kid Xiao Yan?"

After Yunshan finished speaking, it was a long time before Yunyun turned around, staring at Yunshan, and spoke slowly.

"He is a very honest man."

"I will repay a favor, I will repay a debt, I will never lie, I value responsibility, and I am willing to sacrifice my life to fulfill my moral principles."

"Disciple is confident that Xiao Yan's integrity is far superior to yours, Master."

Yun Yun answered word by word so solemnly.

"Oh?"

Yunshan raised his hand and gently touched his chin, with a gleam in his eyes.

When Yunshan met Xiao Yan before, he felt that he was not an evil person, otherwise there would not be so many people supporting him when he wanted to kill him.

However, Yunshan never expected that Yun Yun's evaluation of him would be so high that she even dared to say with certainty that Xiao Yan's integrity surpassed his own.

This is really unexpected.

It seems that Yun'er is very optimistic about Xiao Yan.

Most of Yunshan's energy disappeared inadvertently.

Although Yun Yun's pregnancy before marriage made him very angry, if the other party was an upright person, Yun Shan would not be unable to accept it.

And judging from Yun Yun's expression, she is very satisfied with Xiao Yan. For Yun Yun, this could be a good match.

"Forget it, it's already happened. There's no point in pursuing it further."

Of course, Yunshan said this, but in the end, he still recognized Yun Yun’s evaluation of Xiao Yan.

If Xiao Yan is really that kind of evil person, Yunshan will take his life no matter how many people protect him.

"During this time, take care of Yunlan Sect's affairs first. Whether it's negotiating an apology or something else, you are the sect leader, so try to solve these things by yourself. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, come to me."

Yunshan said this, and Yunyun nodded slightly.

However, Yunshan's next words made Yun Yun suddenly stunned.

"After everything is settled, I will go to Xiao Yan's house and formally propose marriage to his parents."

“No!” Yun Yun was so shocked by Yun Shan’s words that she stood up and rejected him with an ugly expression, “Teacher! You can’t do this!”

"What? Is there a problem?" Yunshan raised his eyebrows unhappily, "You are even pregnant with his child, isn't it natural for you to propose marriage? And based on your evaluation of that boy, he shouldn't be an irresponsible person, right?"

"This"

Yun Yun stood there in a daze for a long time before whispering.

“But age.”

"Okay, okay, let's not bring up this kind of question. In this continent, how many people care about age when getting married?"

Yunshan waved his hand lightly. It’s okay for ordinary people, but for cultivators, their lifespans can easily be hundreds or even thousands of years. Who would care so much about age?

What's more, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan are only less than ten years apart in age, which is very normal compared to those people.

But Yun Yun seemed to still be unwilling to give up, and continued weakly.

"That identity"

"Don't worry about it. I'm not a pedantic person. As long as the boy is an upright person and you both have a good impression of each other, issues like identity are trivial." Yunshan said calmly, and then added, "Don't worry about the strength. After you get married, let him come to Yunlan Sect and I will train him personally. I think the boy has good talent and may not be worse than you in the future."

Yunshan’s words completely stifled Yunyun.

Yun Yun knew in her heart that she had been using her age, identity and strength as excuses to escape, but in fact, Yun Yun was not worried about these issues at all.

What Yun Yun was really worried about was...

"teacher."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, which made Yun Yun's heart jump and a feeling of guilt arose instantly.

Then Yun Yun took a deep breath and responded.

"come in."

Then the door was pushed open, and Nalan Yanran walked in and reported to the two of them respectfully.

"Teacher, old sect master, all the disciples of Yunlan Sect have been properly arranged. The situation is now stable and no one has proposed to leave the sect."

As she said this, Nalan Yanran glanced at the broken table and teacup at Yunshan's feet, and her eyebrows raised slightly.

what's wrong?

"Ah."

Yun Yun nodded slightly, and then Nalan Yanran withdrew her attention and spoke to Yun Yun again.

"Teacher, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
