A sincere apology

Guo Ling'er's jealousy was impossible to hide.

Qin Yingyue knew that her apology wasn't sincere, but that was enough.

How could someone with ulterior motives and who doesn't seem very bright possibly sincerely apologize? She didn't really want to leave, and she believed that Guard Su didn't either; it was just a gesture.

Now that East Mountain Sect's attitude is clear, she can't ask for anything more.

Su Zhan nodded to Qin Yingyue, and only then did Qin Yingyue speak.

"Since it was Senior Sister Guo who was joking without thinking, then let's let it go this time."

"I hope that next time, Senior Sister Guo will be more mindful of her jokes, otherwise, if there's another misunderstanding, you'll be the one apologizing."

These words were spoken.

The Senior Disciple Brother and the others immediately laughed.

Although they were very willing to protect their Junior Sister, it would be even better if Junior Sister could also stand up for them. Now it seems that their Junior Sister does have some similarities with them, which makes a valid point.

Look how distorted Guo Ling'er's expression is with anger.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister, I certainly won't do it again. Thank you for your magnanimity."

Guo Ling'er spoke through gritted teeth.

She then turned and left; she didn't want to continue standing there and embarrassing herself.

The Grand Elder gave Su Zhan a deep look before turning and leaving.

Seeing this, the other Elder also left one after another.

A few disciples of the Elder did stay behind, exchanged pleasantries with Qin Yingyue, but they weren't overly enthusiastic; it was just politeness. They left quickly afterward.

The Fourth Senior Sister spoke up.

"Don't be sad. Actually, most of them aren't bad people, unlike Guo Ling'er. But your situation is special right now, and the Elder' attitudes are different, so they can't get too close to you."

"Furthermore, the Elder are worried that it will be dangerous for them to get close to you, so they have warned them. But don't worry, with your strength, they won't even have time to curry favor with you in the future."

"And us, no matter what you do, we all share the same master. We will all support you and protect you; we're on the same side."

"Moreover, your master will protect you. No matter how many disagreements there are within the East Mountain Sect, you must be protected. We are all one body, and no one can stand alone. The East Mountain Sect is your safe haven, so you can stay here with peace of mind."

Fourth Senior Sister didn't hide anything and told Qin Yingyue the whole story directly.

The other three Senior Disciple Brothers were worried that Qin Yingyue would be unhappy, but Qin Yingyue had actually guessed this situation. Even if she hadn't thought of it before, she could see it now. However, it wasn't entirely unexpected, since her situation was indeed special.

It's normal for there to be disagreements within the East Mountain Sect.

Aside from Guo Ling'er's outrageous behavior, the others were alright, just a little distant. What's the big deal?

"I understand, Fourth Senior Sister. Don't worry about me. You've all been very good to me, and I'm very content."

Qin Yingyue was truly content.

She really hadn't expected that her master's four disciples would treat her so well. She had actually been quite worried before, afraid that she wouldn't get along with them and that they would dislike her. Naturally, she was still quite anxious. Fortunately, they were so kind to her.

"Hahaha, who else would we be nice to if not you? You're our Junior Sister!"

Fourth Senior Sister laughed.

It looks flamboyant and unrestrained, very vibrant.

Qin Yingyue liked and envied people like that.

He naturally liked his Fourth Senior Sister even more.

"I've prepared a gift for my Senior Disciple Brother and sisters. Let's head back now; it doesn't seem quite right for us to stay here."
