You're a Misfortune Compass Branch Compass!

An Ying didn't know how the others were reacting at this moment...

But does An Ying think that's right?

Can someone please explain whether this is actually true?

What the hell was the purpose of me, An Ying, creating this spatial rift?

Now that the spatial rift has opened, instead of the Vast Heaven Holy Land suffering resource losses and Ma Liang being punished, a disagreement has turned into a pleasant surprise?

Is this really true?

Why does a spatial rift, instead of swallowing things, start spitting them out after it's torn open?

That's right...

At this moment, the way the word "Shadow" was An Ying was absolutely correct!

At this moment, Ma Liang led everyone into the Star Gate and began to explain the changes to the Star Gate!

Ma Liang said he didn't know why either... Anyway, the first time the Star Gate devoured something, then Senior Brother Xinghe sent Junior Brother An Ying Anying to open the Star Gate again, and ten days later, the Star Gate started devouring things again...

Ma Liang said to the Grand Elder... and all the other elders... that he, Ma Liang, needs to conduct a self-examination!

Ma Liang stated that when Senior Brother Xinghe An Ying Junior Brother An Ying Ma Liang Star Gate, he had doubts about him.

Ma Liang stated that his thinking was incorrect!

I must correct my mistakes!

Ma Liang was a smart man. In fact, everyone could see that when they heard that something had happened at the Star Gate, Elder He, or even the other elders, they all had doubts about the An Ying.

There's nothing we can do about it... To put it bluntly, among all the people here today, if you really want to talk about outsiders, An Ying is probably the only one who can be considered an outsider.

Everyone else knows the inside story, so no one would suspect anything.

However, Ma Liang realized that although everyone had their doubts, none of the elders dared to question An Ying.

This is the vision of a big shot from the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Back then, if any big shot had come up and said, "An Ying, this was your doing!"

Okay... Ma Liang said that this one sentence was enough to completely isolate An Ying in the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

An Ying was an outsider to begin with. If this gets back to the disciples and they say the elders suspect An Ying... then An Ying will be finished!

However, not a single elder spoke throughout the entire process. Under such circumstances, even though the disciples considered An Ying an outsider, they dared not say anything!

After all, none of the elders have expressed any doubt about An Ying, so what gives you the right to doubt An Ying?

Therefore, Ma Liang knew that this was the mindset of the elders of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Although I, Ma Liang, am the Future Grand Elder, Ma Liang feel that I still have a long way to go in this regard!

Ma Liang was so angry he wet himself the moment the Star Gate malfunctioned!

Ma Liang pointed at the Star Gate and cursed An Ying for what seemed like half an hour...

Ma Liang was almost certain that this was definitely the work of the An Ying!

But now Ma Liang is looking ashamed and saying, "Junior Brother An Ying... this time, I, Senior Brother Ma Liang, was prejudiced against him..."

Senior Brother Ma Liang, I must first apologize to Junior Brother An Ying!

When I first saw the problem with the Star Gate, I really suspected that you, Junior Brother An Ying, had something wrong with you...

But before I could finish cursing, the Star Gate underwent a second change... The Star Gate, which had originally devoured resources, reopened shortly after it closed.

The newly opened Star Gate is different from the original Star Gate. A magical passage has appeared in the newly opened Star Gate, and now resources are being squirted out of this passage!

Moreover, these resources are not ordinary resources; they are all rare and precious resources!

This is far, far more valuable than the resources that were swallowed up by the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

So at this point, Ma Liang was truly convinced!

We all thought Junior Brother An Ying had pulled some kind of trick... but now we realize we'd all misunderstood him...

Junior Brother An Ying is really trying to make a killing for our Vast Heaven Holy Land this time!

Ma Liang was just that straightforward; he said what he meant!

If you don't like someone, you can criticize them, but if Ma Liang realizes he's done something wrong, rest assured, Ma Liang 'll be the first to come and apologize!

This is also the main reason why Ma Liang's fellow disciples have been convinced of his worth all these years in the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Some people... seem very friendly at first... but as they rise higher and higher, when they reach the top, their friendliness completely disappears... They become the kind of person who is aloof and doesn't care about anyone.

When a person is down on their luck, they can correct their mistakes, accept punishment, and recognize their own errors!

However, some people, once they reach a high position, can no longer accept that they have made mistakes...

Once you realize you've made a mistake... your first reaction is to hide it no matter what!

That's still good; some people become arrogant after reaching the top and don't even realize they've made any mistakes!

What mistakes could Lao Tzu possibly make?

I am in a superior position; I cannot be wrong! If you think I am wrong, then you are definitely wrong!

But Ma Liang wasn't that kind of person...

Ma Liang said he was deeply influenced by Senior Brother Xinghe... Who is Senior Brother Xinghe?

Senior Brother Xinghe is someone who strives to find his own mistakes! Even if you don't think Senior Brother Xinghe is wrong, Senior Brother Xinghe himself believes he is wrong!

Therefore, influenced by his Senior Brother Xinghe, Ma Liang was the type who, whenever he realized he had made a mistake, would always make a formal visit to apologize the next day, even if the Ma Liang party was a newly initiated disciple!

Ma Liang's actions did not lower his status; on the contrary, they earned him the respect of others and the approval of countless elders.

Ma Liang was being groomed by the Grand Elder to be his Future successor!

The position of Grand Elder is not only about authority and severity, but also about knowing when to advance and when to retreat!

An elder who always thinks he's right and everyone else is wrong—you can rest assured, under such an elder's leadership, this sect is doomed!

Therefore, a senior elder must not only maintain his authority, but also understand right from wrong!

Whether it's someone else or yourself!

The elder had repeatedly taught Ma Liang that although his status and position may seem to be rising higher and higher, the first thing he needed to understand was who gave him that status and position!

If you can't understand this, then you definitely won't go far in the Future!

So today... Ma Liang admits he was wrong... he had been prejudiced against the An Ying!

When the incident occurred at the Star Gate, my first instinct was to blame Junior Brother An Ying. But now I realize that Junior Brother An Ying not only didn't do anything wrong, Junior Brother An Ying even helped our Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Hearing Ma Liang's words, An Ying remained calm...

That's right... at this moment An Ying looked completely calm...

An Ying was completely dumbfounded for a moment!

Does the An Ying indicate this?

Is this really true?

I'm really here to cause trouble!

I really wanted you, Ma Liang, to be punished... but why the hell did things get like this?

Can someone explain this?

The An Ying said, "I just wanted to kill Ma Liang, why are you taking Ma Liang away now?"

While the An Ying was still in a daze, Ma Liang spoke up again, saying, "Of course! If we're talking about brilliant strategy this time, it has to be Senior Brother Xinghe!"

When Senior Brother Xinghe asked Junior Brother An Ying Anying to rebuild the Star Gate, I was filled with doubt when I saw Junior Brother An Ying Anying's state!

But now I realize that I was being Ma Liang... Junior Brother An Ying was completely flawless this time, and of course, Senior Brother Xinghe was as steady as a mountain!

Upon hearing Ma Liang speak, An Ying's previously calm expression instantly changed!

That's right!

The reason has been found!

My An Ying was completely outmaneuvered by Chu Xinghe this time!

Damn it, I forgot that Chu Xinghe is a master strategist!

Everyone, please think back carefully... what did Chu Xinghe say to me back then...?

He said... "You must not make the same mistake in the same place again, otherwise Ma Liang will definitely be punished..."

Listen to what he's saying. Is he telling me to stay away from trouble?

Isn't this just leading me to a bloody pit Ma Liang?

My first An Ying was to use this opportunity to get revenge on Ma Liang. I even hinted to Ma Liang that Senior Brother Xinghe had asked me to do all of this!

I was the one scheming against them... but it turned out I was the one being schemed against the whole time.

At this moment An Ying is so cute with teary eyes...

The cunning Chu Xinghe is still the same cunning Chu Xinghe...

Although An Ying himself had no idea how he had messed things up like this, An Ying was certain that if Senior Brother Xinghe hadn't told him that Ma Liang would be punished, he would never have been able to build the Star Gate!

Moreover, even if I did build Star Gate, there's absolutely no way I could set up a potentially swallowing rift in the same location!

This is truly a case of one wrong step leading to another...

From the very first step, Senior Brother Xinghe had completely grasped my thoughts, An Ying. From the very first step, I, An Ying, was part of Senior Brother Xinghe's plan.

Later, I, An Ying, thought I was the one driving everything, but in fact, Senior Brother Xinghe was the real mastermind behind it all... Every step I, An Ying, took was part of Senior Brother Xinghe's plan!

An Ying had never felt so desperate!

The An Ying has a history of being plotted against and of failing...

But never before had the An Ying felt so powerless!

It feels like you know everything from the beginning... but you can't do anything about it!

No! It's not that you can't do it... it's that all the bad things you thought you did were actually unintentionally turned by Senior Brother Xinghe into good things for Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Although An Ying had fought Chu Xinghe before, this was the first time they had faced each other head-on!

At this moment, An Ying had only one feeling!

Terrifying! Chu Xinghe is terrifying! He's far more terrifying than I ever imagined!

Even though I, An Ying, was on guard the whole time, I still couldn't help but fall into the trap that Chu Xinghe had set up in advance!

Chu Xinghe knew what An Ying was thinking at that moment...

Chu Xinghe just wanted to say that he knew Chu Xinghe was in a hurry to use An Ying, but he shouldn't be. He asked if it was possible that none of what Chu Xinghe was thinking was actually done by Chu Xinghe, but by Chu Xinghe's Calamity Divinity!

Because this feeling is all too familiar to me... Your Calamity Divinity has a bit of Misfortune Compass Branch Compass feel to it...
