Li Xuebing was unwilling to apologize, which made Xuan Xing's expression darken.
He had personally issued the order, yet Li Xuebing still refused to apologize. She was clearly showing him no respect.
"Li Xuebing, if you refuse to apologize, then the pills the sect provides you every year will be canceled from now on," Xuan Xing said in a deep voice.
Li Xuebing's expression changed when she heard this.
The pills provided by the sect aided Li Xuebing's cultivation. Over the years, it was only because she had received the sect's support that she had attained such powerful strength.
If Li Xuebing had to earn Profound Stones herself to purchase pills, her cultivation progress would slow considerably, and she would also face danger.
Traveling outside was extremely dangerous.
Li Xuebing felt terribly wronged. Previously, the sect's higher-ups had all favored her, but now they had switched their support to Jiang Chen and were even blaming her.
In the end, Li Xuebing reluctantly apologized to Jiang Chen. "Jiang Chen, my attitude earlier was indeed inappropriate. Please don't take it to heart."
"Very well, let this matter end here. However, if you provoke me again in the future, don't blame me for disregarding our fellow-disciple ties. This time, I'm giving the sect master face," Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Li Xuebing was furious inside. She believed Jiang Chen was relying on the sect master's favoritism and actually dared to speak to her like that.
Xuan Xing also spoke up from the side. "Li Xuebing, let this matter end here. I don't want to see you continue provoking Jiang Chen. The sects must stand united, not fight among themselves."
"Yes, Sect Master," Li Xuebing said respectfully.
Li Xuebing endured it for the moment. Once she found an opportunity, she would definitely get even.
