Jie Yin arrived incredibly quickly. He was there the moment Qing Xuanzi finished speaking.
Qing Xuanzi felt that this fellow must have been hidden in the void, and seeing that things were going well, he immediately appeared.
"Oh my, Senior Brother Jie Yin's divine ability is simply comparable to Dao Ancestor Master." As soon as Qing Xuanzi opened his mouth, Jie Yin felt awkward.
Damn it, comparing me to the Dao Ancestor? I haven't lived long enough yet.
"Uh, Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi is joking. How can I compare to the Dao Ancestor? I was just on my way to congratulate Junior Brother and just arrived."
Jie Yin quickly clarified: he didn't dare to be compared with the Dao Ancestor.
"Alright, but there's one more thing. I heard that Senior Brother Jie Yin has a Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus. I, your junior brother, have nothing. If I join the Western Sect, could I ask Senior Brother to part with it?"
Qing Xuanzi's words made Jie Yin think to himself: As expected, this fellow also has demands. I knew it. His previous demand was like having none.
How could someone who was painstakingly brought in be personally sent away again? That's not Xuan.
When he said this, it became very Xuan.
Qing Xuanzi quietly waited for Jie Yin's reply. He knew that his previous request would make them suspicious.
Now, directly asking for something would actually make them feel more at ease.
Although he was asking for their lifeblood, after weighing the options, he believed they would agree.
My flower blooms with Thirty-six Petals? Is it still not as good as a congenital spiritual treasure?
Jie Yin and Zhunti exchanged glances. Although their eyes showed heartache, they also revealed a hint of joy.
Yes, joy.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi has boundless prospects. Why not let him be our Third Sect Leader?"
Zhunti's words made Jie Yin consider for only a moment before nodding in agreement.
"That's fine. Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, if you join the Western Sect, you will be the Third Sect Leader of our Western Sect. It's not impossible to give you this Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus."
Seeing that the matter was successful, Qing Xuanzi didn't waste any words and immediately swore an oath: "Heavenly Dao above, I, Qing Xuanzi, swear: If Jie Yin and Zhunti can swear the following oath..."
Qing Xuanzi repeated the oath that Zhunti and Jie Yin were to swear and continued, "...I will join the Western Sect."
A muffled thunderclap sounded in the sky. Qing Xuanzi's Heavenly Dao oath was recognized by the Heavenly Dao (Hongjun).
Jie Yin and Zhunti, seeing that things were going smoothly, spoke up: "Heavenly Dao above, I, Jie Yin (Zhunti), swear: ..."
Jie Yin and Zhunti's oath was no different from what Qing Xuanzi had said; they just read it directly.
They didn't want to cause any more trouble and give Qing Xuanzi an excuse.
Such a good opportunity absolutely could not be wasted.
A muffled thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the Heavenly Dao accepted their oath.
"Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, you are now also the Third Sect Leader of the Western Sect. Come back to the Western Sect with me then." Zhunti said impatiently when the oath was completed.
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "Brother Zhunti, don't be anxious. Brother Jie Yin hasn't given the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus yet."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhunti turned his head and glanced at Jie Yin.
Jie Yin could only reluctantly hand the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus to Qing Xuanzi, his heart aching. "Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, I have already removed the primordial spirit mark on it."
Qing Xuanzi happily took the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus from Jie Yin, placed his primordial spirit mark on it, and after incorporating it into his primordial spirit, he said, "Please, both Senior Brothers."
Upon hearing Qing Xuanzi's words, the hearts of Jie Yin and Zhunti finally settled. There was hope for the Western Sect to rise.
"So..." Before Zhunti could finish speaking, the sky suddenly darkened. He looked up.
What the heck, heavenly punishment again? Still coming?
Heavenly Dao, do you just not want the Western Sect to prosper? Qing Xuanzi has already joined the Western Sect, so why are you still sending down heavenly punishment on him?
Huh, why are there two streaks of heavenly punishment?
Zhunti had a bad premonition. When he looked again, where was Qing Xuanzi's shadow? The person had already run away!
The person ran away, but the heavenly punishment remained in place, two streaks of heavenly punishment again.
That could already explain the situation very well.
"Senior Brother, what did we do?" Zhunti asked with a dry throat, his voice strained.
Jie Yin was also bewildered. They hadn't done anything, had they? Wasn't it just inviting Qing Xuanzi to join the Western Sect?
How could they suffer heavenly punishment?
Even if it was heavenly punishment, it should be directed at Qing Xuanzi, right? Why would it be directed at the two of them?
Seeing Jie Yin in a daze and not reacting, Zhunti vaguely felt that they had fallen into a huge pit.
This pit was big enough to bury both of them.
As expected, Hongjun's voice transmission reached their ears:
"Alas, you two actually dared to accept Qing Xuanzi into the Western Sect? It was already difficult for me to accept him as a disciple. Do you think the Heavenly Dao will let you two off?"
Hongjun shamelessly shifted the blame to the Heavenly Dao, since it was asleep anyway.
Only then did Zhunti and Jie Yin understand. It was indeed because of this matter that the Heavenly Dao had sent down heavenly punishment.
They didn't know the specific reason, but based on Hongjun's tone, they guessed it was related to Qing Xuanzi's identity.
Zhunti and Jie Yin understood: They were too idle and dug a big pit for themselves for no reason.
If they jumped into this pit, then the Western Sect would belong to others. At that time, no matter how prosperous and developed it became, it would have nothing to do with the two of them.
Could it be that Qing Xuanzi would even erect a monument for them? Sing their praises?
Even if that were the case, what good would it do?
They would be dead. No matter how much virtue they had, it would be useless, and what's more, two of them would die, and they even begged to give away their family fortune before they died.
Truly @bitch.
"Teacher, we were wrong. We hope Teacher will save us." Zhunti knelt down and immediately began to beg for his life.
Jie Yin's speed in kneeling wasn't slow either, just half a beat behind.
At this time, they hadn't become saints yet; they weren't saints. If they died, they would truly be dead.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi was still warm in their pockets, they hadn't even had time to enjoy it, and they were going to die like this.
It was truly too humiliating.
"Now, there is only one method. You must expel Qing Xuanzi from the Western Sect."
Hongjun's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Jie Yin and Zhunti's bodies go numb.
How could the result be like this?
The oath was really going to come true.
If it didn't come true, two of them would die, and all their family wealth would be given away.
Damn it, how did it feel like there was a strong scent of conspiracy?
Jie Yin and Zhunti reacted: How could there be such a coincidence? Even novels wouldn't dare to write this.
There was definitely a conspiracy, and it was a conspiracy between Hongjun, that old scoundrel, and Qing Xuanzi, that little brat.
Jie Yin gave Zhunti a resentful look: Junior Brother, this is all because of you. Now it's good. Normally speaking, the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus will no longer belong to the Western Sect, but will be surnamed Qing Xuanzi.
Zhunti was almost dying of embarrassment. He had come to someone's house to give away treasures, purely a treasure-giving boy.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother was greatly mistaken. Please expel Qing Xuanzi from the Western Sect," Zhunti said with a mournful face.
Jie Yin: ...
Two heavenly punishments appeared consecutively, shaking the Huang.
