Meaningful Implications
Just as he was about to stop it, the Spirit Vein Vine snapped.
Instantly, the expression on the face of the disciple of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect became quite interesting.
The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect and the members of the Proud Sword Sect froze on the spot.
The Cultivator's smiles, however, held a deeper meaning.
"So that's really how it is."
"Fellow Daoist Su is indeed a discerning person."
"It was done by the disciple of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect himself, so it can't be said that someone else did something to it, right?"
"I must also thank this fine disciple for displaying his Spiritual Qi so clearly; everyone saw it clearly. I wonder how Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect will treat this disciple in the future."
Everyone began to sympathize with him. After all, exposing the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect in public was no laughing matter. The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect someone who valued his reputation so much, and to have his own disciple expose the fact that the spirit medicine he brought was defective was truly a difficult situation to explain.
The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect was indeed experiencing a complex mix of emotions.
He never expected that while he was pondering how to deal with the situation, it would be his own disciple who stepped forward to verify Su Zhan's words. He even wanted to tear this disciple to pieces, but unfortunately, the other party's identity was special, so he couldn't do that.
With a gloomy look in his eyes, the disciple of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect was also somewhat flustered. He hadn't expected that this thing was really fake.
They thought it was true and wanted to show Su Zhan how wrong they were, at least to show everyone that Su Zhan wasn't always right, and to give themselves and the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect a chance to vent their anger. But they didn't expect that they would rather just swallow their anger.
"Master, I... I don't know."
The disciple of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect spoke in a panic.
Upon hearing this, the Cultivator all laughed.
So it was the broken spirit medicine that the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect brought without telling anyone?
It was kept quite well hidden.
Even his own disciples didn't say anything.
Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
Ultimately, it's the fault of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect.
He brought the broken spirit medicine, didn't tell the truth, and even concealed things from his disciple. Since that's the case, isn't it his own fault for being exposed by his disciple?
"Alright, you didn't do it on purpose. It's broken now, so be it. Master won't blame you."
"You've misled everyone into thinking the Spirit Vein Vine is broken; that's your fault."
"Why would Master bring a broken spirit medicine here?"
"It's all because you were careless."
The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect finally found a reason.
Even if he couldn't fool anyone, he couldn't possibly admit that he brought the broken spirit medicine and concealed it.
The disciples of the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect instantly understood.
"Yes, it was my fault. I meant to say, Master, I didn't know this Spirit Vein Vine was so fragile. I shouldn't have miscontrolled the flow of Spiritual Qi energy, otherwise this wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault, I'm sorry."
The Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect took a deep breath.
"Fine, since you're my disciple, it doesn't matter if people misunderstand."
"The innocent are innocent. Why should I bring a broken spirit medicine? I have plenty of good things. I don't need the Spirit Vein Vine to help me win."
These words immediately made the Sect Master of Proud Sword Sect feel a pang of regret.
He really didn't need to bring this out.
He has many other options.
But this one is the most prestigious.
After all, they are extremely rare.
If he had brought it out, it would have shocked everyone present, and indeed it did. Unfortunately, Su Zhan saw through it, and his own disciple confirmed that it was fake, causing him to lose face completely.
If I had known, I would have chosen other spirit medicine. Even if I couldn't have won, at least I wouldn't have made such a humiliating spectacle.
