Chapter 280 Strange Feelings

Having just received a favor from Elder Cai, the group couldn't help but start discussing what they had just seen on the Shadow Stone Rewind.

"To be honest, although Cai Dong's words were a bit harsh, he really didn't insult the sect leader!"

"Yes! This junior sister was too impulsive. Even if Cai Dong was wrong, he shouldn't have hit a fellow disciple. He should have reported it to the steward in charge of punishments and discipline, and dealt with according to the sect rules!"

"Now she's making baseless accusations and falsely accusing Cai Dong, turning a valid argument into an invalid one. She's really confused!"

Hearing everyone say that Cai Dong was wrong, Elder Cai's expression inevitably turned quite unpleasant.

But since Nan Shu was still watching, he couldn't get angry and could only pretend he hadn't heard it for the time being.

Right now, killing Nanran is the most important thing to do, to avenge myself and my grandson!

"metropolitan……"

Elder Cai's tone was slightly urging, and he was about to say something more when he was interrupted by Nan Shu's light, mocking laughter.

Elder Cai was slightly taken aback, looking at Nan Shu with some confusion.

Why does it seem like the sect leader is unhappy?
This unhappiness seems to be because of him...

Illusion?
He momentarily forgot to continue.

“Nan Ran is right. When you insult her, you are indeed insulting the sect leader.”

Nan Shu's expressionless words were like a pebble thrown into a puddle, creating ripples.

Elder Cai was completely dumbfounded.

What does the sect leader mean by this? If you're going to show favoritism and cover up wrongdoing, you don't have to lie through your teeth like this!

Don't you realize that in front of everyone, and with so many people having seen the Shadow Stone rewind, how can you convince the public with such a statement?

Is he crazy?

At this moment, Elder Cai even forgot his reservations, his respect for others, his fear and panic. He casually raised his head and stared at Nan Shu with wide eyes, both shocked and incredulous.

Some even doubted whether the man standing before them was the sect leader they had seen from afar.

Could it be some kind of demon, monster, or heretical practitioner impersonating someone else?

Otherwise, why would someone say something so mindless?

The crowd couldn't help but start discussing it.

"What do you mean by that, Sect Master? Why is insulting Nan Ran the same as insulting you?"

"Could it be that this junior sister is the sect leader's daughter?"

"How is that possible? Our sect leader is still unmarried..."

How could someone possibly have a daughter as old as Nanran?

"Speaking of which, this junior sister shares the same surname as the sect leader?"

“Nanran…”

"Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Most people felt that the name "Nan Ran" sounded very familiar, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

"It's really strange. I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before, and it's almost on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't say it..."

The crowd was chattering, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.

Most people are speculating about the relationship between Nan Ran and Nan Shu.

Nan Shu did not marry and had no children.

And he is still young.

In the end, everyone suspected that they were siblings.

Nan Ran was also quite curious.

She could sense that this man had a very special feeling for her, but it was definitely not romantic love.

Elder Cai murmured the name "Nan Ran," then, as if suddenly remembering something, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Nan Ran.

“You, you, you—”

He seemed so shocked that his tongue was tied in knots, and he stammered for a while before finally saying in astonishment, "You're Nan Ran?!"

The daughter of the former sect leader, Nantianmen!
Following Elder Cai's exclamation, everyone quickly realized what was going on.

Nanran!
Nan Ran, who contracted a high-level demonic beast, the Flaming Lion, during the promotion assessment, became one of the few outer disciples exempt from all courses!

The daughter of the former sect leader!

So in that sense, Nan Ran wasn't entirely wrong about Cai Dong!

To say that the sect leader's daughter is a little bastard is tantamount to saying that the sect leader is a big bastard.

Even if Nantianmen was the former sect leader, he was still a sect leader!

He is one of the successive sect leaders who have been properly honored with incense offerings by the Beast Taming Sect!

He is also one of the sect's patriarchs who protect the sect!

Insulting the sect's patriarch is, by any measure, a grave act of treason!

Everyone felt that Cai Dong's slap was not unjust.

Even if I get slapped twice more, it's perfectly fine!

Elder Cai looked pale and sickly at this moment.

Cai Dong looked blankly at the sky, then at the ground, then at his grandfather, then at the sect leader, then at Nan Ran… The sky had fallen!
How could she be the sect leader's daughter?!
"I was thinking that, considering Elder Cai's many years of dedication and hard work for the Beast Taming Sect, even if he didn't achieve anything, he still deserves credit for his efforts, I would treat him leniently."

Nan Shu's lips curled into a barely concealed smile: "But since Elder Cai is so aware and earnestly requests this sect leader to punish him severely, this sect leader cannot be one to show favoritism. So, punish him—"

He glanced at Elder Cai, whose face was ashen: "Elder Cai, go to the extreme cold ice field to mine for two years as a warning to others!"

“Cai Dong insulted the sect leader, bullied his fellow disciples, had his cultivation crippled, and is expelled from the Beast Taming Sect.”

"From now on, you are forbidden from identifying yourself as a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. Otherwise, you will be killed!"

Nan Shu then looked at another inner sect elder who was with Cai Dong: "Remove his status as an inner sect elder, abolish half of his cultivation, and demote him to a menial servant."

"Sect Master! Spare me! Sect Master..."

The three of them naturally let out a wail, but no one pitied them.

"Oh, right..." Nan Shu looked at Elder Cai being dragged away by the Beast Taming Sect's enforcement team and kindly reminded him, "Elder Cai, before you go to the extreme cold ice field to mine, remember to prepare the compensation you promised to all the disciples present and distribute it properly to everyone."

Elder Cai: ...

He was filled with shame and indignation, and gritted his teeth in hatred.

But they dared not say anything.

He had just considered a desperate gamble, even if it meant defecting from the Beast Taming Sect and never returning.

However, when he tried to mobilize his spiritual power, he found that his cultivation at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage was frozen and he couldn't mobilize it at all!
He looked at Nan Shu with horror, knowing that this man must have done something wrong.

That makes sense. Even though he was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he was still nothing more than someone who could be crushed with a wave of his hand in front of Nan Shu, who was said to have reached the half-step Ascension stage.

Elder Cai was taken away.

Nan Shu remained aloof and detached, glancing lightly at Nan Ran: "Internal fighting within the sect is a breach of discipline. Elder Cai and the others should be punished, but you—"

He paused slightly, considering his words, "It was somewhat rash and impulsive, but considering that Cai Dong provoked me first, I'll only punish you..."

Hui Yao and the others panicked when they realized that Nan Shu was going to punish Nan Ran.

"metropolitan!"

Just as the group was about to argue with him, Nan Shu's next words silenced them.
