Speaking Again

Just as he was about to say something, Su Zhan spoke again.

"Furthermore, it was the East Mountain Sect Master who agreed to let Qin Yingyue join the East Mountain Sect."

"Do you think the East Mountain Sect lacks the ability to protect its disciples, or do you think the sect leader's decision is wrong, which is why you're here questioning and jumping around like this?"

Guo Ling'er's heart sank upon hearing this. How could she possibly admit it?

Otherwise, if the sect leader finds out, she'll definitely suffer a terrible fate.

He quickly spoke up.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I question the sect leader? I don't think there's anything wrong with the East Mountain Sect's abilities either. Stop spouting nonsense, I never said that."

"I just think Qin Yingyue is a burden."

"Am I wrong? Look, has anyone refuted me?"

"Everyone thinks Qin Yingyue is a burden. Who do you think you are, daring to sow discord between me and the sect leader? Bah!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yingyue's face turned pale.

She knew she would bring danger to the East Mountain Sect.

Naturally, I felt a little guilty.

Su Zhan, however, did not feel the need to feel guilty.

Seeing that the Elder remained silent, he spoke in a cold voice.

"Although I am just a lowly guard at the Yingyue Pavilion, Pavilion Master Qin previously stated that I can represent him here."

"The East Mountain Sect Master was already aware of the risks of taking the young lady as a disciple, and you are probably aware of that too, but you are also very clear about the benefits, otherwise the young lady wouldn't be standing here now, would she?"

"Since you've chosen to take the risk, don't keep emphasizing your difficulties. After all, it was made very clear beforehand, and no one is forcing you to accept it. If you haven't reached a clear conclusion within the East Mountain Sect, I can leave with the young lady right now. It's not like you absolutely have to stay in the East Mountain Sect."

After saying that, Su Zhan gave Qin Yingyue a look.

Qin Yingyue suddenly had a feeling that although this person was just a guard, he possessed a very powerful and convincing strength. Although she felt that leaving was not appropriate now, since she had already become his disciple, she would still follow him without hesitation if he escorted her away.

Qin Yingyue nodded and followed Su Zhan the moment he turned around.

The Fourth Senior Sister immediately grabbed Qin Yingyue, and the other three Senior Disciple Brother also anxiously stood in front of Su Zhan.

The Elder, seeing Guo Ling'er's predicament, also spoke up.

"Why bother? Should you leave just because there's a minor disagreement among fellow disciples?"

"That's too trivial. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, just a quarrel."

"Our East Mountain Sect naturally accepted Qin Yingyue. Whether it's the benefits or the risks, Guo Ling'er alone cannot represent us."

"Elder, aren't you going to make Guo Ling'er apologize?"

The Elder all expressed their opinions, putting pressure on the First Elder.

The First Elder looked gently at Qin Yingyue and Su Zhan.

"Young people are impulsive. You just leave like that. How heartbroken the sect leader must be."

Qin Yingyue didn't know how to answer this, so her Fourth Senior Sister spoke up.

"Elder, Junior Sister didn't leave of her own accord. Someone was forcing her to stay. Why is Junior Sister staying?"

"My dear Junior Sister, she's only been here a short time, and someone already can't tolerate her. It's a disgrace to our East Mountain Sect to have a disciple like this."

"Elder, you wouldn't be protecting Guo Ling'er, would you? Or is what she said exactly what you meant?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhan and Qin Yingyue felt even more that their Fourth Senior Sister was bold.

He speaks so rudely to the Grand Elder; he's a real scoundrel.
