This resounding voice clearly reached the ears of everyone in the Main Hall, except for Mo Feng.

Everyone nodded silently.

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

The bond between teacher and student should not be confused with romantic love.

If all Master treated their apprentices well, that would be considered seduction, wouldn't that create chaos?

Xu Bai is such an ingrate!

The Immortal Ziyang patted Li Zi the shoulder with satisfaction.

Her goddaughter has Worldview values.

Although Xu Bai didn't know where the voice came from, he immediately tried to defend himself after hearing it.

"My Master would stay in my room late at night, using the excuse of instructing me in Martial Arts Techniques to touch my body. Once, he almost kissed me. He told me personally that his feelings for me had surpassed those of an ordinary master and disciple. Moreover, he would use his Essence Blood as a medicinal ingredient to refine secret medicines..."

Xu Bai's tone was cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

He remembered all those details that are easily overlooked, one by one, like an arrow shot many years ago, hitting the Sixth Elder's forehead accurately.

The Sixth Elder's eyes widened suddenly, staring at him in disbelief.

It was as if, in all these years, he was getting to know this apprentice for the first time.

But Xu Bai showed no sign of guilt. He turned around and met the Sixth Elder's gaze from afar, his eyes full of provocation.

He knew about the Sixth Elder's hidden affection for him. On one hand, he found this affection sordid and disgusting, but on the other hand, he felt at ease enjoying the benefits it brought.

He was certain that the Sixth Elder, with his timid and conflicted nature, wouldn't come forward to explain, and even if he did, it would be useless.

As expected, the Sixth Elder opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he looked somber, lowered his head, and offered no explanation.

Xu Bai turned his gaze away smugly.

Now, everyone's attention will be focused on the Master, who is just an innocent victim.

When he was ostracized and hated by everyone, he was all alone by his Master's side.

Li Zi was already feeling indignant.

[Following this logic, my godmother kept Senior Sister Zhenzhen in her courtyard all night to instruct her in Martial Arts Techniques, so that means they're having an affair? When has the Sixth Elder ever done anything out of line? Xu Bai is really good at bragging!]

The elder standing to the side scoffed, "In my room late at night? My disciple has stayed in my room before, does that mean we're having an affair?"

The elder's disciple quickly waved his hands, "Master, please spare me, I'm afraid my mistress will beat me when she gets back."

The Second Elder also said, "Isn't physical contact normal when instructing on Martial Arts Techniques? Junior Master's Niece/Nephew Xu Bai, aren't you overthinking it?"

"Exactly, my little apprentice and I even drank water from the same cup. He's always sticking to me, and I don't think anything of it. Kids are cute when they're lively like that."

The disciples quickly clarified, "Master, a teacher for a day is a mother for life. I regard you as a highly respected elder and have absolutely no improper thoughts! Please don't distance yourself from me!"

"Senior Brother Xu Bai, just how confident are you to think your Master has those kinds of feelings for you? In my opinion, you were the one who developed feelings for your Master first."

Xu Bai never expected things to develop in such an unexpected direction.

The accusations from the crowd echoed throughout the hall.

He became the target of everyone's condemnation!

"No, I..."

He looked at the Sixth Elder in a panic, "Master, please help me explain!"

Snap!

A crisp slap interrupted everyone's accusations.

A clear, red, swollen handprint was visible on Xu Bai's face.

Immortal Ziyang slapped him twice more, "You bastard, not only did you publicly insult your Master, but you also had the nerve to ask your Master for help? Your Sixth Martial Uncle must have been blind to have taken in such an ingrate as a disciple!"

Xu Bai was stunned by the blow.

He had never been slapped in the face before, from childhood to adulthood.

Since entering the Sect and becoming the Sixth Elder's Direct Disciple, he has always been a respected and beloved Junior Master's Uncle in everyone's eyes, and has hardly ever been injured.

Immediately afterwards, the Immortal Ziyang kicked him again, and began punching and kicking him.

Xu Bai tried to resist, but the Immortal Ziyang's Cultivation was far superior to his, and he was no match for him.

"You little bastard, you have no respect for your Master, and now you're publicly slandering and framing him. My Sixth Martial Uncle is soft-hearted and still has some master-disciple relationship with you. He doesn't want to ruin that relationship, but you're taking advantage of my kindness?"

Li Zi, [Godmother is so cool! Well done!]

No one stopped them, and the cheers from Li Zi gave them a headache.

It was the Sect Master who called a halt, "Alright, alright, Ziyang, release them immediately."

The Immortal Ziyang, feeling smug, released his grip and returned to Li Zi's side, even exchanging a high five with the Starry Eyes Li Zi.

Xu Bai, his face bruised and swollen, knelt on the ground, his pleading gaze turning to the Sixth Elder.

He had lost his previous ferocity, and his handsome face now appeared much softer. He wore a pleading expression, looking like a dog about to be abandoned by its owner.

The Sixth Elder closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and strode forward.

"Sect Master, I will take this unworthy disciple back and discipline him. Today... I'm sorry to have troubled you all to make this trip..."

A triumphant smile flashed across Xu Bai's eyes.

He knew this person would have a soft heart.

"Wait a minute," the Sect Master said, "The matter between you and your disciple is not the main reason why everyone is gathered here today."

The Sixth Elder stared in shock, his eyes wide.

What?

The Sect Master waved his hand, "What kind of relationship you have between master and disciple is none of our business. We outsiders won't interfere. We called you here for Ziyang's sake. Mo Feng, kneel down now! And you rest of you, all of you kneel down!"
