After this, most likely, they would either work at the Guardian Mansion or struggle within the Daoist School, which has nothing to do with them. In that case, why not grant a favor easily?
Moreover, the talk of relationships is not entirely unfounded. Back in the day, Ruan Xiuxiu, Eighth-grade Demon Hunting Departnt Chief, did have so friendship with the Ninth-grade Outer City Departnt Head, through the interdiary of Song Guardian.
Why did your disciple co to Black Mountain? Wasn't it to explore that 'Celestial Abyss'?
This, you must surely know yourself.
Ning Xiu internally grumbled.
However,
Outside the Daoist School, smoke and tension filled the air!
The sound of armor clashing and rubbing could be heard repeatedly.
A general clad in Black Qilin Iron Armor, with a long knife at his waist, exuding a murderous aura, led thirty to fifty martial soldiers and strode to the entrance of the Yunluan Daoist School.
Then, he presented a letter of worship and barged into the hall.
Even before he arrived, his voice was already heard:
"Hall Master Ning, the Celestial Prides from Yunluan Mountain, the two of them..."
"Hand them over to ."
"I'm their uncle, already aware of the situation."
"Previously, my niece borrowed soone else's quota to get into this Daoist School. If the rightful owner returns, she'll yield her place, no need to make it so ugly."
"My daughter is young and naive."
"Commander of the Military Departnt 'Chen Jing', apologizes to the two of you."
In Black Mountain City, the Seventh-Grade Guardian is Chen Zhao.
And his eldest legitimate son, 'Chen Gong', who is also Chen Qingping's father, assists him with the affairs of the Guardian Mansion.
In his early years, Chen Zhao once served as the Eighth-Grade 'Commander of the Military Departnt'.
Thus, decades ago, he already held the authority of the Military Departnt in his hands.
Moreover, his second son 'Chen Jing' also excelled, possessing notable Martial Dao skills.
Relying on his connections and his Martial Dao cultivation.
About twenty years ago, he also made a na for himself in the Wutong Prefecture Examination, though not seizing the top place, obtaining the position of Eighth-Grade Military Departnt was well deserved.
With fierce eyebrows and covered in black armor, Chen Jing, under the eyes of the public, pressed on Chen Qingping's trembling delicate shoulders, then nodded and bowed towards Ning Xiu and Pei Lvye with utmost etiquette.
"As for my daughter's alleged plots and framing, it's unfounded and baseless. The Guardian Mansion's decades-long reputation doesn't engage in such disgraceful acts."
"But her aptitude is diocre, her talents shallow, unable to pass the 'Sword Hunting Grand Examination' on her own, which is an undeniable fact."
"Our Guardian Mansion isn't petty. This young man's position, my Chen Family will simply relinquish it."
After Chen Jing said all this, he was about to leave with his head held high.
However, Pei Lvye called out, "Commander, haven't you made a mistake and yet can't even bow to the involved party and admit it?"
Chen Jing paused in his steps, and there was a complex look in his eyes: "..."
But his actions did not act on his own.
He first glanced at Ji Han.
Then deeply looked at Jixia.
He admonished Chen Qingping a couple of tis, making her bow to Ji Han:
"Our Guardian Mansion was inconsiderate, and I apologize to this young brother."
"If there's any dissatisfaction, feel free to co over. We can offer precious dicines, cultivation techniques, or money as a token of apology."
After that, he left with Chen Qingping without turning back.
Having heard that Chen Jing, on behalf of the Chen Family, revoked Chen Qingping's qualification as a disciple of the Daoist School and bowed to Ji Han, only then did Pei Lvye let it go.
The martial soldiers of the Military Departnt ca swiftly to Martial Arts Street and departed equally fast, like a gust of wind.
When the smoke cleared.
At this point, Ning Xiu ca over, dismissed the disciples, and looked at the slightly disordered interior of the Daoist School, with a helpless expression:
"Junior Sister Pei, why did you do this?"
"You removed 'Chen Qingping' from the list, but what have you gained?"
"For our Yunluan Daoist School, it ans nothing."
Pei Lvye shook her head:
"Rules are rules."
"What happens outside, I can't control, so I didn't draw my sword to cut down Chen Qingping because she is just a branch disciple."
"If this were Yunluan Mountain,"
"She would have to kneel before the Sword Viewing Stele and face the punishnt of 'Thousand Swords Devouring Heart, Sword Qi Baptism.'"
After saying that, Pei Lvye turned her head to look at Jixia and the others, first glancing at Ji Han:
"This qualification was originally yours. Justice naturally prevails in people's hearts."
"Are you still willing to join our Yunluan Daoist School lineage?"
Hearing this, Ji Han first gave Pei Lvye a grateful look, wanting to deeply rember this young lady who could swing her sword to right the wrongs in his heart.
But at the sa ti, recalling his ordeal and his brother Jixia's description of the 'Divine Blood Sect', an unexplainable deep fear of the Dao Lineage's larger forces surged in his heart.
He was afraid that once he joined the Yunluan Daoist School and stood out, so people would see through him.
So he shook his head:
"I appreciate the kind offer, but Ji Han acknowledges it."
"This visit to the Yunluan Daoist School was just to relieve accumulated grievances within my heart."
"Being able to achieve justice this ti, I'm already satisfied."
"As for the Martial Arts Secret Technique..."
"I will seek it elsewhere."
Having said this, he bowed deeply.
Regarding this, Pei Lvye did not insist.
The fact that she happened to et Jixia and the others at the threshold of the Daoist School was 'destiny', so due to Yunluan Mountain's rules, Pei Lvye acted to expel Chen Qingping.
But ultimately, the few of them were no more than passing acquaintances.
However, before Jixia and his brothers left with Xie Wutong, Pei Lvye called out to the fuse of all this, naly Jixia:
