Chapter 120 The Verbal Battle Between Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue

"Master, it's all my fault. Junior Brother Zhang did it to save me..."

Facing her mentor, Lu Xueqi did not hide anything and told the whole story truthfully. Seeing Master Shuiyue's angry expression, she immediately began to explain.

Master Shuiyue was even more furious upon hearing this, and immediately turned to look at Lu Xueqi. Upon seeing this, Lu Xueqi immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet Master Shuiyue's gaze.

"Crack!"

With a sharp crack, Master Shuiyue's armrest was snapped off.

Looking at his stubborn and proud disciple, Master Shuiyue felt dizzy and his breathing became rapid, like a bellows being pumped.

Inside the tent, no one spoke; only Master Shuiyue's breathing echoed in everyone's ears like a howling wind.

Seeing this, Su Ru couldn't help but look at Master Shuiyue with worry, fearing that her senior sister might faint from anger caused by her rebellious disciple, and immediately spoke up.

"Xiao Fan, why aren't you kneeling down and apologizing to your Martial Aunt Shuiyue?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan immediately knelt down before Master Shuiyue, and Lu Xueqi, following suit, knelt down as if she were a wife following her husband's lead.

Tian Ling'er, who had been half-hiding behind Zhang Xiaofan, was now somewhat intimidated by Tian Buyi's angry glare and immediately knelt down as well.

In the blink of an eye, only Biyao was left, standing there dumbfounded, looking around, not knowing what to do.

Upon seeing this, Su Ru glared at the seemingly shrewd but actually naive woman. Only then did Bi Yao belatedly realize what was happening and kneel down as well.

Looking at the four people kneeling in a row, Master Shuiyue was so angry that he laughed, raising his voice several octaves as he spoke repeatedly.

"Good! Good! Excellent! As expected of a disciple of Dazhu Peak, Tian Buyi, you have taught a fine disciple!"

Tian Buyi has always been concerned about his reputation. He did approve of his daughter's relationship with his disciple, but the fact that the two of them got together without any matchmaker made Tian Buyi, who already harbored a lot of anger.

Right now, Master Shuiyue's words were like a spark falling into a pile of dry tinder, instantly igniting Tian Buyi's rage.

"My disciple? What's wrong with my disciple? If it weren't for my seventh brother, your precious disciple would have died countless times already. How dare you talk about my seventh brother? Shuiyue, how can you be so shameless?"

Enraged, Tian Buyi no longer held back against Wan Jianyi and began to curse without any mercy. With just one sentence, he made Master Shuiyue's face turn red with anger.

Seeing that things were not going well, Su Ru tried to reach out and grab Master Shuiyue, but Master Shuiyue shook her off and stood up abruptly, pointing at Tian Buyi and cursing angrily.

"What else? Your disciples have ambiguous relationships with the demonic sect members. Do I need to say more?"

"How is it unclear? Didn't you and your disciple Lu Xueqi go through the wedding ceremony together and get married?"

It's impossible for Tian Buyi not to have any objections. Although it wasn't a major mistake, it was still embarrassing to talk about. How could he explain it to the sect leader and the patriarch?
If it were at Dazhu Peak, Tian Buyi would have immediately confined Zhang Xiaofan to his quarters. But in front of Master Shuiyue, how could Tian Buyi possibly say that his seventh son was wrong?

If the seventh brother is wrong, then isn't it because he, as the master, failed to teach him well? Isn't that his fault?
Kneeling, Tian Ling'er felt a jolt in her heart as she looked at the furious Tian Buyi and Master Shuiyue, and subconsciously shrank back. Lu Xueqi's heart was pounding even harder.

Master Shuiyue was choked by a remark, which made him even angrier. He waved his sleeve, and the chair exploded instantly. He shouted.

"Tian Buyi, you have truly disgraced Master Zheng Tong! How could a dignified leader of a lineage be so unable to distinguish right from wrong!"

Su Ru's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. She wanted to speak up to stop him, but Tian Buyi also stood up. Not to be outdone, he smashed the chair with a single palm strike and replied angrily.

"Old nun, how dare you talk to me like that? Come on, tell me, what did my seventh son do wrong? If you don't give me a straight answer today, hey, believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't find a successor for the head of Little Bamboo Peak!"

“He’s entangled with a demoness from the Demonic Sect!” Master Shuiyue said without hesitation upon hearing this.

Master Shuiyue was not such a rigid person, but right now, she was so angry that her years of cultivation could not keep her composure.

Tian Buyi chuckled strangely, a hint of smugness in his voice, and said with a rather wicked air.

"Hey, that's because my seventh brother is capable. He even managed to seduce the Holy Envoy of the Demonic Sect back to my Qingyun, causing the Demonic Sect to suffer such a great loss. He has done a great job."

"You... use strong words to make sense!"

Master Shuiyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, she had been cultivating for many years and even though she could barely understand some of the curses of ordinary women, she could not say them at all.

Seeing this, Tian Buyi was not annoyed at all, but instead said rather smugly.

"How has this become sophistry? If this were said by my seventh son, you could call it one-sided, but this is what your disciple said himself. Could it be false?"

"You...I...Hmph!"

Master Shuiyue could only snort in frustration, flick her sleeves, and turn her head away, refusing to look at Tian Buyi's smug, fat face.

Seeing that Tian Buyi had rendered Master Shuiyue speechless, Su Ru felt a sense of helplessness. Her senior sister had never been good with words, but she always liked to argue and prove herself superior.

Seeing that Tian Buyi seemed to want to press his advantage and add fuel to the fire, Su Ru quickly reached out and pulled Tian Buyi back, gently scolding him.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's cut to the chase. Senior Sister is right about this. Although Seventh Brother's actions were out of necessity, they are indeed against the sect rules."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi snorted softly, seemingly somewhat indignant, but he didn't say anything more. Master Shuiyue's expression also improved somewhat, and Su Ru then turned to Zhang Xiaofan and spoke.

"Seventh Brother, considering that this was an unintentional mistake and a helpless act on your part, your master, your Uncle-Master Shuiyue, and I will not pursue the matter further. However, from now on, you must sever all ties with the Demonic Sect and never have any further involvement with them, understand?"

"Yes, Master, Mistress, Senior Uncle, I will remember!"

Zhang Xiaofan responded in a deep voice. Master Shuiyue snorted coldly, but did not pursue the matter further. After all, the rice had already turned into porridge, and who knows, it might have been used to propagate the seed. What else could they do but accept it?
With Su Ru speaking up, the matter was considered settled, and what was already a fact was no longer pursued.

In other words, from now on, Biyao is considered half a member of the Qingyun Sect, and the same applies after Youji abdicates.

“It’s not easy. Xiao Fan is now at the Shangqing Realm. Why don’t you take him along to patrol the surrounding area?”

Su Ru nodded gently, then turned to Tian Buyi and spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi did not refuse. He walked up to Zhang Xiaofan, his face stern, glared at Tian Ling'er, and then snorted and said.

"What, do I have to help you up myself?"

"Disciple dare not!"

Zhang Xiaofan responded, stood up, and followed Tian Buyi out.

Su Ru looked at Tian Ling'er, Lu Xueqi, and Bi Yao turning around in unison, shook her head, and sighed softly.

"Alright, get up, everyone. My senior sister and I have something to say to you."

As she spoke, Su Ru grabbed Master Shuiyue and waved to the three of them.
