Chapter 277 Expelled from the Sect
Lin Zhao didn't stay there long. After making plans with Granny Honghu in her cave, it was time for her to meet with the Grand Elder.

She flew to the foot of Qingjianfeng Mountain on her sword and met Song Tingning's gaze, who looked troubled. Just by looking at Song Tingning's expression, Lin Zhao made the worst possible plan in her mind.

"Is the Grand Elder unwilling again?"

Song Tingning quickly waved her hand: "How could Master go back on his word? Master sent me to pick you up."

Lin Zhao sized him up for a while, and roughly guessed what was going on. As he followed Song Tingning up the mountain on his sword, he asked, "Did Elder Mingzhu and the Grand Elder say something?"

Song Tingning wasn't particularly good at keeping secrets, and when Lin Zhao blurted out what was on her mind, she scratched her head somewhat awkwardly: "How did you know, Junior Sister?"

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Senior brother told me in the Heavenly Mirror that the Grand Elder had agreed and hasn't refused yet, but he's been hesitant. Senior brother isn't a coy person, so the one who could make him so troubled must be an elder. Considering that I'm quite hated, it's not hard to guess."

Song Tingning gave Lin Zhao a thumbs up and said, "Elder Mingzhu did indeed tell my master not to agree to your request. My master has already refused him."

Lin Zhao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Grand Elder would directly reject Elder Mingzhu for the sake of a promise to be with him for a period of time.

It should be noted that although she was designated as the young master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, in reality, not many people in the sect recognized her; she was now merely a figurehead.

The Grand Elder was able to do this not because of her status as the young master, but because of her own promise.

"But although Master refused, Elder Mingzhu came directly to us, and he is currently sitting in the Qingjianfeng Hall."

Lin Zhao's lips twitched upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that this elder of the Phoenix Medicine Sect would be so shameless as to abandon all dignity just to annoy him.

"Perfect timing, let's clarify some things while we're at it." After receiving this news, Lin Zhao took out the Heavenly Mirror and contacted the sect leader.

At this moment, the sect leader had finally finished dealing with the important matters at hand, and as soon as he opened the Heavenly Mirror, he saw Lin Zhao's message.

The sect leader was quite troubled by Mingzhu's shameless nature of not giving up until he received some benefits. However, as Lin Zhao said, if this matter was not resolved quickly, who knew what strange things Mingzhu would do next.

After the sect leader replied, he made a hand seal and rushed to Qingjian Peak.

As soon as Lin Zhao and Song Tingning stepped into the Qingjianfeng Hall, the First Elder and Elder Mingzhu turned their gazes toward them.

Beside Elder Mingzhu stood the handsome young man who had previously spoken out against Lin Zhao.

The young man stood beside Elder Mingzhu. When he saw Lin Zhao and Song Tingning enter together, a dark glint flashed in his eyes. He said, "I didn't expect Junior Sister Lin and Junior Brother Song to have such a good relationship?"

Ever since Sima Ling went away on a mission and the Second Elder completely fell from power, young Ma Bin has almost regarded himself as the leader of the younger generation of Qingyun Peak, and he looks down on Lin Zhao, the nominal young master.

In Ma Bin's mind, if he, a cultivator who had already reached the Great Perfection of the Heart Realm, was not qualified to obtain the position of Young Master, why should Lin Zhao be qualified?
Based on her past achievements? Giving her some financial reward would be enough, but how can such a large sect be handed over to Lin Zhao?
However, his contempt for Lin Zhao and his emphasis on Song Tingning's relationship with her are two different things.

Since Sima Ling disappeared, Song Tingning has shown an increasing tendency to advance towards the Nascent Soul stage. If Ma Bin considers himself to be Sima Ling of Qingyun Peak...

After Sima Ling's disappearance, Song Tingning should be the leader of the younger generation of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. Moreover, he is the direct descendant of the current sect leader, so one of the three spots to go to the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm must be for Song Tingning.

If Song Tingning sides with Lin Zhao and leads the other disciples to acknowledge Lin Zhao's status, then his situation will be very unfavorable. Thinking of this, Ma Bin revealed a gentle smile: "Indeed, being beautiful has its advantages. I, as your senior brother, do not have such convenient conditions as Junior Sister."

This sarcastic tone made the Grand Elder glance at him sideways. Elder Mingzhu also felt that his disciple was being a bit petty, but considering the support the Ma family had given him over the years, he could only pretend not to see it.

Lin Zhao ignored him completely, but Song Tingning's face turned ashen from the other party's words, and she rebuked him: "Senior Brother Ma, watch your words!"

Ma Bin's words were basically saying that Lin Zhao had seduced him with her looks to help her with work.

How did the mutual help and support between fellow disciples become so disgusting in Ma Bin's mouth?

Ma Bin lowered his eyes, realizing that what he had said was slightly excessive, and quickly changed to a more ingratiating tone. "I was just joking, Junior Sister won't be angry, will she?"

Lin Zhao glanced at him: "A joke is only a joke if others find it funny. Senior Brother Ma is just rude. Why should I argue with someone who is rude?"

Ma Bin's face suddenly turned green.

Elder Mingzhu coughed, interrupting Ma Bin, and said to the First Elder, "Senior Brother, you saw it too, didn't you? This girl has quite a temper. Is she really suitable to enter the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm with only the initial stage of Heartbeat cultivation?"

Ma Bin, that brat, didn't realize how secure Lin Zhao's position as young master was, while he, as an elder, knew it perfectly well. He only dared to act like an elder before Lin Zhao's position as young master was officially announced to the world; he didn't dare to question it.
Just kidding. The young master chosen by all the peak masters through voting is not so easily swayed.
As Mingzhu waited for the Grand Elder to speak, a hearty laugh came from outside the hall. Then everyone saw the Sect Leader stride in: "Little Mingzi, if you have a problem with whether Zhao girl can enter the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm, why don't you come and discuss it with me directly? Why bother with someone else?"

Xiaomingzi...

Upon hearing this address, Mingzhu's face darkened, and he couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader, this disciple is Mingzhu."

The sect leader readily agreed and changed the form of address: "Little Caster?"

He's not even as good as Xiaomingzi!
Ming Zhuqi shrugged, not wanting to say anything more.

The Grand Elder rose and offered the main seat to the Sect Leader: "Master, what brings you here?"

The sect leader waved his hand: "If I hadn't come, this place would have been in complete chaos."

Since the sect leader arrived, Mingzhu has kept all his words to himself and hasn't spoken again.

Ma Bin knew that Mingzhu wouldn't dare to speak in front of the sect leader, but if he couldn't stop Lin Zhao this time, then it would be a certainty that the other party would enter the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm!

There are only three spots available. If Lin Zhao goes, Song Tingning goes, and the senior sister of Qingling Peak, who has been in seclusion and is said to be on par with Sima Ling, will definitely go, then the three of them will take up all the spots. What will I do then?
Therefore, he couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader, Junior Sister Lin is only at the early stage of the Heart Movement Realm. How can she go directly to the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm? My master and I are only thinking of Junior Sister's sake."

The sect leader, seated in the main seat, glanced at him upon hearing this: "Over three hundred years old, a Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage, you do have some talent. Little Mingzi, is this your disciple?"

Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The sect leader responded with an "oh," and just as Ma Bin thought the other party would consider his words, the sect leader calmly said, "Go back and expel him from the sect. The Phoenix Medicine Sect does not need a disciple who questions the sect leader's orders."
