On the day of the end of the year's Clan Assembly, Su Xing and the rest of the people from the Qing Xuan Sect happily returned to the sect. Other than seven people, these seven people were Xue Tao and the other six disciples who were following him to the Clan Assembly.
"School Head, I was wrong, I was wrong! Please spare me! I will do whatever you want me to!" Inside the meeting hall of the Qing Xuan Sect, Xue Tao was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing non-stop while begging for forgiveness.
"I'll spare you. Why didn't you want me to spare you when you joined the Chen Clan?" Xiao Qingshan slapped the table and said angrily, "My Qing Xuan Sect has nurtured you for so many years. Is this how you repay your sect? Xue Tao, did your conscience get eaten by dogs? "
Sect Master, I was forced to do so. Chen Yuan is stuck at the exit of the Yan Huang Mountain Range, the condition that I promised him, can also be exchanged for a place in the Spirit Pool for my Qing Xuan Sect. If I do not agree, it will be impossible for me to escape from his grasp. Xue Tao explained.
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. The moment he said it, Xiao Qingshan became even more furious.
"Although my Qing Xuan Sect is not a big sect, it is not enough for you to earn the honor of the sect by selling your wealth. Not only are you bringing honor to the Qing Xuan Sect by doing this, you are also throwing your face into the face of the Qing Xuan Sect. You still have the nerve to say that?"
Pointing at Xue Tao, Xiao Qingshan asked in a stern voice, "What did I tell you before the ten of you entered the Yellow Flame Mountain Range? I said we have to work together and be united, what about you? "If not for Su Xing, my Qing Xuan Sect's reputation which we had accumulated over the years would have been completely destroyed by a mouse like you during this year's Clan Assembly."
"Sect Master, that child Xue Tao was also confused for a moment. Give him a chance to know his wrongs and then change his mind." A certain elder pleaded.
"Humph, if we were to make such a huge mistake and let him off lightly, wouldn't the rules of our Qing Xuan Sect become a decoration? How can we convince the other disciples in the future?"
The tone of Xiao Qingshan's words did not have the slightest hint of 'no'.
"Since his heart is no longer within our Qing Xuan Sect, today, I will announce the expulsion of Xue Tao from the Qing Xuan Sect. From now on, the Qing Xuan Sect will no longer recognize his status as a disciple."
"Don't! Sect Leader, don't …" Upon hearing this decision, Xue Tao was dumbfounded.
He had lived in the Qing Xuan Sect since he was young, so it would be a lie to say that he had no emotions. Now that he had been expelled, it was impossible for him to recover from it.
This day was destined to be an unforgettable day for Xue Tao.
The news of Xue Tao's departure swiftly created an enormous commotion among the disciples of the Qing Xuan Sect. They knew that the current Qing Xuan Sect was no longer Xue Tao's era. Everyone knew that it was Su Xing who would decide the future of the Qing Xuan Sect.
After dealing with Xue Tao's matter, Xiao Qingshan started to arrange the celebration for the New Year.
With the arrival of the new year, coupled with the huge achievements of the Qing Xuan Sect at the end of the year assembly, Xiao Qingshan decided to celebrate for three days and three nights with the entire sect.
The entire Qing Xuan Sect was decorated with lanterns and decorations, the area filled with joyous festivities.
"Su Xing, it's all thanks to you for this year's Clan Assembly!" The meeting hall was filled with people. In the most prominent seat in the hall, Xiao Qingshan was looking at Su Xing with a kind expression.
"I know, before this, the sect did not pay that much attention to you, your master and the blue-clothed girl, and let you be bullied. This is all my fault, I am apologizing to you, and I hope you do not take it to heart."
You are a disciple of my Qing Xuan Sect, and I hope that you will remember this point in the future. The current situation in the Yan Huang Country is still unclear, and us old fellows have reached such a stage, it will be difficult for us to advance any further. The future of the Qing Xuan Sect still depends on you young ones. "
Su Xing's impression of Xiao Qingshan wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.
In Su Xing's eyes, Xiao Qingshan had always been someone who paid attention to the overall situation. He had always been someone who only cared about the interests of the sect and had never cared about personal interests.
Back then, his teacher Su Yuanying's cultivation had been completely destroyed, and the position of Second Elder had disappeared without a trace. Back then, when he was poisoned, he was unable to cultivate, and Xiao Qingshan had never stood up and said a single word.
To become the leader of a sect, Su Xing felt that it was impossible that Xiao Qingshan did not know about the schemes of the sect. However, he had never exposed it. Instead, he had just turned a blind eye.
If Su Xing did not have any value in using him today, then he, Xiao Qingshan, would probably throw him aside like back then and ignore him.
In the future, he would repay Su Yuanying a hundred times over and he would not be able to finish doing so in his entire lifetime. Therefore, as long as Su Yuanying stayed in the Qing Xuan Sect, then Su Xing would treat this place as his home. If Su Yuanying left this place, then he would not have the slightest bit of nostalgia.
Su Xing was such a person. Therefore, when Xiao Qingshan said these words to him today, Su Xing didn't feel any disgust at all and instead happily accepted it.
Su Xing was not Lan Yi. He knew that the world was difficult and the minds of people were in danger. If he was not the person they trusted the most, then it would be best for him to disguise himself.
"Sect Master, Su Xing is a disciple of the Qing Xuan Sect. Everything that he has done for the Qing Xuan Sect is only natural." Su Xing smiled in a very natural manner. No one could tell that he was being hypocritical.
Su Xing was very good at acting.
"Alright, alright, alright. It's for the best that you can think like this."
He raised his wine cup and took a big gulp as he said to Su Xing, "I really did not expect that when you competed against Chen Yuan today, you had already entered the Spirit Realm. Su Xing, you really hid your strength well, even tricking us old fellows."
"Sect leader, I haven't stepped into the spirit realm yet." Su Xing did not hide anything from her. Instead, he revealed the matter of him opening his Spiritual Sea ahead of time. This was because he himself was rather curious about it.
"Oh, is there such a strange thing?" Not only Xiao Qingshan, even the others present were shocked.
No one was able to explain this strange phenomenon. Xiao Qingshan only gave a vague general idea, which basically meant that Su Xing actually already had the condition to enter the Spirit Realm. However, he had accidentally opened up his Spirit Sea first.
Xiao Qingshan continued, "Now that you have established your Spiritual Sea, you can naturally practice techniques. The methods of the Qing Xuan Sect are completely open to you, so you can choose however you wish."
