Listening to his old friend's accusations, Cao Zhengyang opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Could he say that before this, he didn't even know this disciple's name?
He was also very eager to find out what had happened during his seclusion and how Ximu Peak had produced so many geniuses.
I originally thought that Lin Xuan would be able to get up to speed and sort out the affairs of Ximu Peak in just half a year while I was in seclusion, and that it would be quite good if Ximu Peak didn't cause any trouble when I was not in time to manage it.
After he emerged from seclusion, he inquired briefly and learned that Ximu Peak had been given a disciple that others didn't want. He simply sighed softly.
Who would have thought that things would turn out like this?
Looking at his daughter beside him, who also looked completely bewildered, Cao Zhengyang immediately suppressed his urge to ask her anything.
He knew his daughter and his students.
If something were truly wrong, they would definitely not hide it from me.
It seems...
The root of the problem lies with Lin Xuan.
After leaving the secret realm, we still need to ask Lin Xuan to find out what exactly happened.
Seeing his friend's accusing face, Cao Zhengyang couldn't very well say that he, as the Peak Master, had no right to know about Ximu Peak. He could only give a helpless dry laugh, barely managing to shoulder the blame that had fallen into his lap.
Leaving aside the turbulent events between the two high-ranking officials.
The disciples of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, watching the departing figures of the Purple Firmament Palace and the others, finally came to their senses.
The disciples of Longevity Star Peak had strange and awkward expressions, and they were all dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word.
This is completely different from the arrogant demeanor he displayed on the way here.
On the contrary, it was the disciples of Ximu Peak, especially the few Registered Disciple, who were the first to stare at the wine gourd-wielding youth. They grinned and spoke loudly.
"What? You short-sighted fools, now you should finally see who's really useless here, who's the real trash, right?"
"Heh... If our senior Lang Ping is a piece of trash, then what are you? Even less than trash?"
He raised his head, rolled his eyes wide, and completely disregarded decorum, his face radiating mockery.
Seeing that the faces of the other people from Longevity Star Peak were even more ashen, they felt extremely relieved and all felt that they had breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Lang Ping didn't care or hold it against them, they were still young people full of Blood Qi.
Upon learning of the treatment Lang Ping received at Longevity Star Peak, everyone felt indignant on her behalf.
However, I am usually preoccupied with spiritual practice and do not have such an opportunity.
Now, they've finally found their chance.
Moreover, what they said was completely correct.
The legacy here can be entirely attributed to Lang Ping.
The people of the Purple Firmament Palace have already lost and voluntarily withdrawn from the great formation. The formation no longer recognizes them, and even if they possess extraordinary power, they will no longer be able to regain the inheritance and gain its recognition.
This legacy belongs to their Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
However, this is a formation passed down through generations, and it is not applicable to everyone. Furthermore, it also tests one's natural talent.
After all the twists and turns, it will most likely fall on Chunyang's head.
certainly.
It's not something you can give away for free.
At the very least, she has to offer sect Contribution Points worthy of this inheritance, or other treasures. Of what she offers, the Ximu Peak, where Lang Ping is located, will receive the lion's share, while the other peaks will also receive a small portion.
There's no need to worry about whether a young girl like Chunyang can come up with that many Contribution Points.
She has a good master who would never mistreat a disciple he raised like his own daughter.
What we give will only be more, not less.
Therefore, it's not wrong at all to say that others benefited from the situation.
The people of Longevity Star Peak had absolutely no way to refute this.
A few people subconsciously looked at Lang Ping, waiting for Lang Ping to say something.
After all, although Lang Ping's cultivation level wasn't high, she was still a senior disciple of Longevity Star Peak. She didn't care much about other things and only knew how to cultivate, but she would still speak up for the newly recruited disciples if they were bullied.
He has always been a fair person.
This time, however, they will be disappointed.
Lang Ping didn't even glance at them, her gaze calm and unwavering, as if she regarded them as roadside weeds... no, even less than weeds, completely ignoring them.
This immediately evoked a strange feeling in many people.
Half of it was anger.
He was furious that once he left Longevity Star Peak, he was no longer a member of Longevity Star Peak. He was truly an ingrate, now associating with the people of Ximu Peak. It hadn't been long, and he was already joining others in mocking his former fellow disciples.
It was definitely the right thing to do to expel him.
The other half is a kind of inexplicable complexity.
I don't know why, but I feel empty inside, like I've swallowed an unripe, bitter apricot. I can't swallow it if I don't spit it out; it's like a fishbone stuck in my throat. But spitting it out would be undignified...
Shaking their heads and clearing their minds of all thoughts, the disciples of Longevity Star Peak naturally couldn't admit that they had any problems.
At that moment, one or two people spoke up, even though they knew they were in the wrong, they still chose to retort.
"So what? He's just someone from the Purple Firmament Palace. Even if he gets stronger, he's still just a Stone. Compared to our senior brother, he's like the difference between clouds and mud."
"That's right, he's not even worthy of comparing himself to our senior brother. If our senior brother were here, he wouldn't even need three moves to defeat that guy. How dare you be so arrogant?"
"So what if you benefited from the absence of one of our Longevity Star Peak's prodigies? Is that something to be so happy about? It's truly laughable. Today I've finally seen what it means for a petty person to have their moment of triumph!"
A group of people were talking all at once.
The senior disciple they were talking about was indeed very strong.
That was the strength recognized by the disciples of the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect.
Among the younger generation of the entire Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect, his strength ranks among the top ten!
Seeing that Lang Ping remained silent, they seemed to have found a breakthrough and began to praise their senior teammate even more.
" Senior Brother Stone, we originally thought you were a good-natured person. We didn't make things difficult for you after you left Longevity Star Peak. We never expected you to be nothing but a petty person."
"Today's victory was probably due to fortuitous opportunity within the secret realm."
"But if you think that this is a shortcut to success, then you are sorely mistaken."
" Senior Brother Stone, let me give you a piece of advice: with your current cultivation level, you're still no match for our eldest brother. That was true before, and it certainly isn't true now!"
Many people from Longevity Star Peak started clamoring, saying that when the time came, they would definitely make their senior brother trample Lang Ping under his feet.
What? A bunch of people who got fortuitous opportunity and think they're all useless? Otherwise, how could they possibly have such strength?
It's just a petty person getting their way...
All sorts of unpleasant words kept coming in.
