I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

The sword-cultivating families are the Ye family and the Zhou family, with the Ye family at the top. In recent years, the Zhou family has been desperately trying to rise to power, placing their hopes on their direct descendants, hoping that one day they can reclaim Duanchen.

Zhou Xingyun was an obstacle for them from beginning to end.

Ye Qiao finally understood why Xue Yu and Ming Xuan had never liked the Eight Great Families.

The eldest brother never mentioned it. In the novel, is it because Yun Que was someone who cared about him from beginning to end, that he could be easily won over by the female lead?

What kind of tragic, beautiful story is this?

Qin Fanfan was silent for a moment, then said, "Xingyun is the most worry-free child. When he first came to Changming Sect, he was a quiet child who didn't say a word."

Compared to the other disciples born into the Eight Great Families, who were bound by the rules of the Eight Great Families for many years and then let loose and be themselves after arriving at the sect, he was simply too sensible. You should know that even the gentle and mild-mannered Xue Yu would occasionally poison a few inner disciples, not to mention Ming Xuan.

"Anyone can pull off such a low-level frame-up," Ye Qiao interrupted the Zhou family, her tone nonchalant. "I ask you, if I were to steal Ye Qinghan's underwear and put it at the scene, would Ye Qinghan be a criminal?"

"...Ye Qiao!!"

In such a serious setting, Ye Qiao's words were as infuriating and nasty as ever.

"Why are you calling me 'Dad'?" Ye Qiao's temper was about to burst, and she was almost drawing her flying sword.

The other person glanced at the sword in her hand, and recalling her feat of collecting several spirit swords in succession, retreated with a grim expression.

Ye Qiao was not someone he could punish at will, or rather, none of his personal disciples were people they could easily deal with. That's why Zhou Xingyun had stayed peacefully in Changming Sect for so many years.

Having finally found a point to smear, they will definitely spare no effort to discredit him.

They don't recognize the idea of ​​a future family head.

The eight great families valued bloodlines highly, with collateral branches only able to make way for the direct descendants. Yet Duan Chen had chosen him. The Zhou family spoke up, and the others wore inscrutable expressions.

Anyone with eyes can tell this is slander.

But it was unlucky enough that Zhou Xingyun had just arrived when he was caught red-handed. The Zhou family, for some unknown reason, insisted on having something to do with Zhou Xingyun.

The elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect spoke up, "We will definitely clear their names. Until then, we hope you will stay in prison obediently."

Elder Chengfeng comforted him, "Don't be too anxious. These things can't be rushed."

"Oh." Qin Fanfan glanced at him and sneered, "So the one who's been imprisoned isn't your disciple."

Elder Chengfeng's smile froze slightly.

Why does this old man talk so bluntly! He's not cute at all.

The other powerful families insisted on keeping the other three, so the five sects had no choice but to agree. They all left with grim expressions; what kind of place could a dungeon be? The other two were alright, as they had their families protecting them.

It's a miracle that Zhou Xingyun's shabby aristocratic family didn't take this opportunity to cause trouble.

Moreover, once it falls into the hands of the Eight Great Families, it will be completely cut off from the outside world. Ye Qiao is not at ease at all. What was Zhou Xingyun's fate in the original work?

Possessed by demons? Or what?

It looks like he hanged himself?

Depend on.

Ye Qiao's heart pounded on her way back. If her senior brother had a powerful family to protect him, that would be fine. But the Zhou family was so inhumane. She never thought she could change anything, but she did nothing and just watched her world-weary senior brother walk towards his demise.

The atmosphere was a bit somber on the way back. No one spoke, and Ye Qiao was lost in thought the whole time.

Upon closer inspection, this scene is not in the original story.

In the original story, Zhou Xingyun simply didn't want to live anymore. Seeing his beloved girl being protected by so many men, he chose to commit suicide.

Ye Qiao frantically racked her brains trying to figure out how to save her world-weary senior brother.

Back in the courtyard, Qin Fanfan broke the silence by announcing something, which elicited gasps of surprise throughout the entire Changming Sect.

"Huh?! Going to the human world?" This exclamation startled the birds perched in the tree.

Qin Fanfan raised an eyebrow at their reaction. "Yeah."

Ye Qiao is now in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, which is similar to the level of other direct disciples, so going to the mortal realm will definitely not be a problem, and her safety will be guaranteed.

"Golden Core cultivators each have their own path, right? So naturally they need to go to the mortal realm to gain experience at this time."

See the world, see all living beings, see yourself.

Humanity is the perfect choice.

Moreover, there are quite a few demons in the human world, and every year cultivators go down the mountain to eliminate them; this time it's their turn.

"Then..." Mingxuan said with a bitter face, reaching out and grabbing Qin Fanfan's robe while lying on the ground, "Will we still be able to cultivate?"

When a cultivator enters the mortal realm, there are rules to be followed.

"The main purpose is to exorcise demons from you. What kind of person would you be without cultivation?"

"But we can't attack mortals. There will be restrictions, and we'll have to wait until we go to the mortal realm to find out the specifics."

The group nodded slowly: "Understood."

Countless cultivators from the cultivation world have descended the mountain to the mortal realm. Qin Fanfan hoped they would be safe. Their previous disciples had all perished at the hands of the demon race. "Be careful in everything you do," he said, calling out to the absent-minded Ye Qiao.

"I'm talking to you, Ye Qiao! Did you hear me? Behave yourself."

Ye Qiao snapped out of her daze and said, "Oh." She would try her best.

Having received Ye Qiao's permission, Qin Fanfan felt a little relieved and gave her the pass to the human world. "Keep it safe. We'll set off the day after tomorrow. Now, everyone go and rest to conserve your energy."

He clapped his hands after speaking and left. Mu Chongxi opened his mouth to call out to him, "Wait..." What about Senior Brother? Doesn't he care anymore?

It's definitely not a good thing that it's fallen into the hands of the Eight Great Families.

Who knows what other torment might come.

"Master, are you abandoning Senior Brother?" Mu Chongxi asked, bewildered.

"Idiot." Xue Yu punched Mu Chongxi on the head. "Five passage tokens, don't you understand what the Changming Sect means?"

It means that all five of them should go to the human world together.

Mingxuan was in a bad mood. "But our senior brother is still locked up. What's the use of giving us five passes?"

Ye Qiao waved her hand, stood up from her chair, and reminded them, "Hey, I don't think they're planning to do anything to Senior Brother." She had figured it out too. Those people were just looking for trouble.

Ye Qiao was somewhat rebellious at heart, and so were the others.

She should have stopped Zhou Xingyun then and said something, anything, but she shouldn't have just watched him being taken away.

But it's not too late now.

Ye Qiao was thinking of a solution. The best course of action was to wait for the results of the five investigations, and then they would go and help investigate to get the person out as soon as possible, but there was obviously no time for that now.

I will return to the human world in a few days.

We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we? How long will it take for them to investigate and find out the truth?

Her disgust for the Eight Great Families had reached its peak. Rescue the eldest brother, and let's go to the mortal realm together; who cares about their rampant floods?

So...

Ye Qiao lay on the table, looking at the five passes lying quietly in her palm, when suddenly she thought of something.

He suddenly gripped his fist tightly, and in the silence, his voice rose sharply.

"I've made up my mind." Ye Qiao slammed her hand on the table, and the others who were lying on the table looked at her listlessly.

Mu Chongxi was startled, looked up, and asked in bewilderment, "What have you decided?"

Ye Qiao smiled brightly.

Then she said, "Let's break into prison together."

"???"
