Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

Lu Kuangtao looked around, gritted his teeth, and knew in his heart that he could not suppress the Lingxiao Sect today.

But as a late-stage Mahayana practitioner who had been a superior being for a thousand years, if he were to speak of reconciliation in front of so many people, he would lose all face!

A late-stage Mahayana cultivator was slapped by a young man in the late-stage Dao Integration realm, yet he couldn't do anything about it and even had to apologize to him.

Lu Kuangtao's clenched fist cracked.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't get angry."

The monk who had been standing at the back of the crowd slowly stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and lightly touched his brow with his fingertips. He spoke calmly and slowly, "We have come today only to inquire about yesterday's events. Elder Lu's words were somewhat offensive because he was anxious about his injured disciple, not because he intended to offend you. We hope the Lingxiao Sect will forgive him."

The monk is the second elder of Vajra Zen Temple; the abbot did not come today.

"What happened yesterday?" Shen Qianhe sneered, cracking his whip. "Then I'd like to ask Elder Lu what he told his disciple that allowed that scoundrel to disqualify my Lingxiao Sect disciple from the competition without cause!"

"This..." The monk turned his head to look at Lu Kuangtao.

Lu Kuangtao: "Our Beast Taming Sect acts with integrity and uprightness, so how could we revoke your sect disciple status without cause?"

"Upright and honorable?" Xie Hanfeng sneered, then tossed a memory stone into the air. Instantly, all the things Zhang Yixing, Zhang Zuo, and Zhang You had done in the mortal realm were revealed to everyone. "These are disciples trained by an upright and honorable sect? These are Elder Lu's beloved disciples?!"

Zhang Yixing watched as his actions unfolded one by one without the slightest fear, because his master knew everything he had done.

Abducting women, bullying the elderly and weak, manipulating disasters, trafficking in people...

Wei Hanling, who had been silent all along, raised her eyes to look, and then said expressionlessly, "If this is how the sect conference is conducted, then the disciples of my Lingxiao Sect might as well not participate."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud slap landed on Zhang Yixing's face.

Zhang Yixing, sitting in his wheelchair, was stunned for a moment.

"You wretched child!" Lu Kuangtao clutched his chest. "I've taught you so many things, and yet you've done such a thing?!"

Zhang Yixing then realized what was happening and hurriedly opened his mouth to speak, but instead received another slap and was silenced.

"From this day forward! You are no longer a disciple of my Beast Taming Sect!!"

Zhang Yixing's eyes widened, and he tried desperately to open his mouth but could not break free from the magical seal imposed by the late-stage Mahayana cultivator.

Xie Hanfeng sneered, "Elder Lu, disciplining disciples is your duty, but this is Lingxiao Sect territory. If you want to reprimand someone, why not go back to your Beast Taming Sect and do it in front of all the disciples? Wouldn't that carry more weight than doing it here and attracting attention?"

Lu Kuangtao dragged Zhang Yixing away, leaving only the sect leaders of the major and minor sects standing there, turning their heads to look at each other.

"Everyone in the Lingxiao Sect, please don't let a moment of anger cause you to miss the sect meeting."

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect lightly twirled the silver tassels hanging from her waist with her fingertips, and the pearl flowers at her temples swayed gently as she stepped forward.

She stood at the front of the crowd, looked across at them, and said, "We've put so much effort into organizing this conference so that disciples from various sects can improve their skills through sparring. The Demon Clan's quietness in recent years is unusual, and we hope that if we ever encounter them in the future, we can work together to protect the peace between the cultivation world and the mortal realm."

After speaking, her gaze fell on the person being protected behind her. She smiled and said, "This must be the Jade Immortal Venerable. I have long admired your name. Elder Lu acted rashly today and was indeed inappropriate. I apologize to the Venerable Venerable on his behalf."

She bent down and took out a brocade box from her storage bag, handing it over. She gently pressed her fingertips against the box to open it, revealing the lustrous warm jade inside. She said, "This is just a small gift, please accept it, Immortal Venerable."

The warm jade resembles a water droplet, with beautiful patterns; one look and you know it's top-quality jade.

Chi Buwan glanced at it, then fell silent.

If he remembered correctly... this warm jade was a gift from the Hehuan Sect Master to Xiao Wuli as a token of gratitude for saving Xiao Wuli's beloved disciple.

Then this gift was ultimately used on the original owner, Chi Buwan.

Is it too late?.........

[System!!! Wasn't I told I didn't have to follow the storyline?!? This damn warm jade was delivered to me like this?!]

337 remained silent for two seconds, not daring to speak.

Sometimes, the plot can be just that terrifying.

Chi Buwan looked at the teardrop-shaped warm jade and frowned slightly.

[But how do you use this thing? It's so big, are you going to put it in your mouth? Or can it shrink and fit inside...?]

Before I knew it, a jolt went through my nerves, and I felt a phantom pain in my third leg.

【!! Using this thing to insert? Are you crazy?!】

337 tentatively asked, "[It only said it was used on the original owner; perhaps the original owner used it to warm their hands?]"

After saying that, it didn't even believe it itself. It just wanted to act like a cute and innocent little dumpling in front of its host so that it could pretend to be stupid if the host asked about it later.

【Too. 】

337:........

Xie Hanfeng, who was standing to the side, coughed and almost choked on his own saliva.

Everyone was puzzled.

Xie Hanfeng stared wide-eyed at the patterns on the warm jade.

Lotus in full bloom!

The edges of the petals are slightly raised, and the veins have shallow grooves, making the pattern beautiful yet uneven.

That little thing that drove Chi Buwan to a breakdown and made her crawl around in a panic.

Xie Hanfeng covered his eyes.

Oh my!

Do not look at what is improper!

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this thing?" Shen Qianhe asked.

Xie Hanfeng looked at Chi Buwan and saw him looking at Nuanyu with a relaxed expression. He paused for a moment and then said, "There's nothing wrong with it."

Since the parties involved haven't said anything, he won't say anything more either.

After accepting the gifts late at night and bidding farewell to the various sects and immortal factions, the matter was considered to have come to an end.
