Severing Ties of Master and Disciple
Feng Xiangtian said in a deep voice, "It seems you intend to stick to your guns and refuse to admit it to the death?"
Yue Qianchou stood there looking extremely aggrieved, without saying a word, as if to say, "I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"
"You were originally a disciple of the Qingguang Sect, why did you join my Fu Xian Island? Speak! What are your true intentions?" Feng Xiangtian shouted. Although he said this, he felt a little reluctant. Such a rare talent was about to be ruined.
"Damn it! It's out!" Yue Qianchou didn't reply. Instead, he turned and bowed deeply to Guan Wei Wu, his expression tragic. "I was originally a commoner in this mortal world, from a wealthy family. I had hoped to live a carefree life! Fortunately, my ancestors had accumulated good karma and once saved Liu Changqing, the Qingguang Sect Master. To repay their kindness, Liu Changqing took me, who had no Spirit Root for cultivation, to the Qingguang Sect for cultivation. On Qingguang Mountain, I formed a master-disciple relationship with my Esteemed Master Hao Sansi. Encouraged by my Esteemed Master, I have devoted myself to cultivation day and night, never daring to slack off for a single day." Perhaps it was a case of Heavenly Dao, for I, a disciple with no Spirit Root for cultivation who had suffered endless humiliation at the hands of my fellow disciples in the Qingguang Sect, one day suddenly had an epiphany and entered the Qi Refining stage. This should have been a joyous occasion, but my Esteemed Master warned me never to reveal any of my cultivation in public. At the time, I didn't understand. Later, when my Esteemed Master was attacked and killed while out, I angrily exchanged blows with Liu Zhengguang, the sect leader's grandson, revealing my cultivation. Only then did I understand why my Esteemed Master had repeatedly warned me against exposing my cultivation.
Yue Qianchou glanced at everyone, then bowed again to Guan Wei Wu and said, "Sect Leader Liu Changqing kept sending elders to demand that I reveal the secrets of cultivation, but what secrets of cultivation do I have? I only know how to make up for my shortcomings with diligence! Because of this, I was demoted to Spirit Stone mine to do hard labor, only one day after my master passed away! They were so impatient. Hard labor it is! But the Sect Leader still didn't want to let me go, so he sent Elder Lu Wanqian to constantly threaten and entice me. I almost died at his hands several times, but I don't know any secrets of cultivation, so how could I reveal them! Then one day, the Illusion Demon Palace attacked the Spirit Stone mine, and Elder Lu Wanqian of the Qingguang Sect actually grabbed me as a shield to escape. Fortunately, I survived. Looking around the entire Spirit Stone mine, it was littered with corpses. At that time, I was disheartened and no longer wanted to think about cultivation, so I quietly left, as if it were all a nightmare and I had never been to the Qingguang Sect."
The people of Fu Xian Island sighed with pity. They hadn't realized Yue Qianchou had suffered such a tragic fate. Imagine a disciple without cultivation Spirit Root suddenly becoming capable of cultivation; some sects would likely resort to any means necessary. But Yue Qianchou was simply an exceptionally gifted individual. However, for a prestigious sect to treat its own disciple in such a way would chill anyone's heart, and leaving the Qingguang Sect was understandable. Everyone glanced at the old man in the green robe, a hint of disdain in their eyes.
When Qing Nu was standing next to Feng Xiangtian, heard Yue Qianchou's words, he had already plucked out several white hairs from his beard. He cupped his hands to the crowd and sighed, "I won't cover up the shame. I heard about this matter afterward. It was indeed those wicked disciples who were utterly depraved and did wrong first. Alas! It's a misfortune for the sect, let's not even talk about it! What a disgrace!"
These words undoubtedly proved that Yue Qianchou's words were true, and everyone felt a pang of sympathy for Yue Qianchou. Especially Elder Ou Sihai, the head of the Cultivation Pavilion, thought to himself, "Such an outstanding disciple was rejected by your Qingguang Sect, which is your own fault. Now that he's joined my Fu Xian Island, he's a disciple of Fu Xian Island. How dare your small Qingguang Sect come to Fu Xian Island to demand him? It's utterly outrageous!" He had been plotting to get Yue Qianchou into his Cultivation Pavilion.
"Brother Qing, there's no need to blame yourself!" Feng Xiangtian comforted him gently, then turned to Yue Qianchou and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get that Fu Xian Token back then?"
Yue Qianchou still didn't directly answer him, and bowed to Guan Wei Wu again, causing everyone to frown. This was clearly a sign of disrespect for the sect leader! Feng Xiangtian, however, remained expressionless. The former bowed and said, "After leaving Qingguang Sect, I wandered around. Once, I encountered a Qi Refining stage cultivator who was wounded and dying. Unfortunately, I couldn't revive him despite my best efforts. Before he died, he said that he was originally a disciple expelled from Fu Xian Island named Ji Wushuang, and he gave me a token as a way of repaying his kindness, saying that with this token, I could join Fu Xian Island. I had long since given up the idea of cultivation, but when I heard that it was the number one sect in the world, I couldn't help but have the idea of giving it a try. As a result, I became a disciple of Fu Xian Island in a daze."
"Ji Wushuang?" Feng Xiangtian frowned, looked around at everyone and asked, "Are there any disciples expelled from our sect named Ji Wushuang?" Ou Sihai, who was standing to the side, suddenly sighed and said, "Reporting to the sect leader, Yue Qianchou is right. There was once a disciple expelled from the sect named Ji Wushuang. He was a disciple of the Cultivation Pavilion. He was the grandson of Elder Ji, who had already passed away. His father had long since died fighting for Fu Xian Island. I never expected... alas!"
"Elder Ji's grandson? Three generations of the family are all dead?" Feng Xiangtian paused, and everyone looked at each other, their expressions somewhat gloomy. Disciples who are expelled from a sect usually don't have a good ending. It's unbelievable that even the grandson of an elder of the Cultivation Pavilion has met such a fate. Elders who can hold the Fu Xian Token are all senior elders!
"Why did you Qingguang Sect Master?" Feng Xiangtian shouted as he came to his senses.
"I didn't kill him." Yue Qianchou kept staring at Guan Wei Wu, who felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"He won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin!" Feng Xiangtian sneered. At first, he still had the intention of protecting him, after all, talent was rare. But this guy had repeatedly disregarded him and even dared to deceive him. Where was his face as the sect leader? He was simply courting death. Feng Xiangtian shouted to the outside, "Bring the person in."
Two disciples pushed a person in. As soon as the person entered, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the crowd, trembling as he said, "Great Immortal, Great Immortals..."
Yue Qianchou didn't even glance at the man, his eyes fixed solely on his master, Guan Wei Wu. Feng Xiangtian pointed at Yue Qianchou and shouted at the man, "Come forward and see if he's the one who released so many flying swords that night."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The man scrambled over, turned around, and exclaimed with delight, "Young Master!" He then nodded repeatedly to Feng Xiangtian and said, "That night, it was my Young Master who released many flying swords to fight a great battle against the villain who destroyed my Yue Family!"
Yue Qianchou was slightly taken aback. He looked down and saw that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't recall his name. Looking at his clothes, he recognized them as those of a servant in the Yue Mansion. He couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. What else was there to say?
Feng Xiangtian said expressionlessly, "Yue Qianchou, what else do you have to say?"
Yue Qianchou did not answer, but looked at Guan Wei Wu and smiled faintly, "Master! Don't you have anything to say?"
As soon as these words left my mouth, my heart turned ice-cold. The reason I spoke to him before was to tell him my predicament and hope that my master would understand. But as my master, Guan Wei Wu hadn't said a single word in my defense, nor had he shown any intention of protecting me. Was the relationship between the two of them really that bad? Now that things had come to this, was there any point in staying on Fu Xian Island any longer?
The smile on Yue Qianchou's face gradually faded, and he slowly closed his eyes. Seeing his disciple like this, a look of pain flashed across Guan Wei Wu's face. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak up for his disciple; in fact, after learning about this matter, he immediately went to his Sect Master Brother, the sect leader, hoping that his senior brother would show leniency.
However, the latter immediately scolded him, saying that this matter involved other sects, and whether it was handled fairly or unfairly was related to the reputation of Fu Xian Island. He also sternly warned him that as Yue Qianchou's master, he should not interfere in this matter, and that he knew how to handle it. Fei Denan was also warned in the same way.
Yue Qianchou suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with coldness. He suddenly knelt down in front of Guan Wei Wu First Company a "bang" and kowtowed three times. After standing up, he flicked the hem of his long robe with one hand and tore it off with both hands with a "hiss". He held it in one hand and slowly raised it in front of the crowd.
Everyone was stunned, wondering what he meant. But then he held up the torn hem of his robe and said in a deep voice, "Master, with this robe torn, our Severing Ties of Master and Disciple, and we owe each other nothing! From now on, I Yue Qianchou, have no further connection with Fu Xian Island! From now on, the sky is the limit, and the sea is the limit; no one can control me, Yue Qianchou..."
