It wasn't just its massive wolf head, but also the fact that it wouldn't leave me alone. It stared at me for what felt like forever, nudging my face with its nose, its hot breath spraying onto my skin...Yuan Heng, of course, loved his disciple dearly. After all, Xue Zi-jiu was a cultivation prodigy. Yuan Heng usually paid special attention to his disciple, and upon hearing this, he hesitated for a moment.

He then bowed and said, "I wonder what you have done to incur the wrath of the divine"

Xue Zi-jiu naturally felt the invisible pressure, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. But he was calm and collected. Ning Shu was already dead, with no one to testify against him. Even if others spoke up, so what

Master Yuan Heng will surely save him.

Could Sikong Hengyu possibly turn against Yuán Héng Zhenjun just because of a deceased apprentice

As soon as Yuan Heng's words left his mouth, the expressions of all the elders present changed dramatically. Those with slightly lower cultivation levels even vomited blood directly. Yuan Heng himself wasn't doing much better; his heart trembled violently!

The Divine Lord is angry!

Only to see Sikong Hengyu's expression was icy cold, he raised his hand. He unexpectedly placed the mirror from the secret realm in the air. This was the empty spirit mirror of the past secret realms, which could clearly show everything inside.

Xue Zi Jiu's face changed drastically!

As everyone looked, on the screen, Xue Zi Jiu and a few others led the handsome young man to the ferocious beast. Xue Zi Jiu's eyes showed envy, as well as gloom and ruthlessness that didn't belong to someone his age!

Now they should be clear, it turns out that Xuezi actually had murderous intentions towards the Divine Lord's disciple! It must be jealousy that has been building for a long time!

Xue Zi Jiu, seeing this, turned pale, but still spoke up in defense: "My disciple didn't know there were ferocious beasts here..."

He didn't expect Ning Shu to be so lucky, she was still alive!

But Yuan Heng's true nature remained oblivious. This ferocious beast territory was the one he had revealed to his beloved disciple. A surge of blood filled his throat, and he swallowed it with gritted teeth, closing his eyes.

He had previously held the expectation that even if Xue Zi was arrogant, he wouldn't do something like this. Unexpectedly, he actually made a move against the only disciple of the Divine Venerable.

The Divine Lord didn't fly into a rage and kill him. Merely leaving him with five internal organs injured was already quite merciful.

Master Yuanheng no longer looked at Xue Ziqiu. He said, “It is my fault for teaching him wrongly, for teaching out such a vicious disciple. To actually harm fellow disciples.”

According to the sect rules, I will personally expel him from the Heavenly Sect.

Si Kong Hengyu retorted, "If Ning Shu hadn't been so lucky, how would you compensate me for a lost disciple" His tone was icy, and his gaze towards Xue Ziqiu held no warmth whatsoever.

Aloof and unfeeling.

Master Yuanheng and the others looked at each other in astonishment. When they had taken Ning Shu as a disciple, they were already shocked. They hadn't expected that the Divine Lord would value him so much.

"I wonder how the divine being intends to deal with this"

Master Yuanheng hesitated and said cautiously.

Si Kong Hengyu glanced at Xue Zijing kneeling on the ground. His light-colored pupils fell, and his words were devoid of any warmth: "Then have your cultivation revoked and be expelled from Tianzong."

Everyone gasped in shock!

He will not only be expelled from the sect but also have his cultivation revoked!

Xue Zi Jiu was also incredibly incredulous, his eyes wide open, teeth bared!

To revoke his cultivation would be more agonizing than killing him.

He is a single-attribute fire spirit root, so he is arrogant and conceited. After his cultivation is revoked, he will never be able to cultivate again for the rest of his life, making him no different from ordinary people.

Xue Zi Jiu glared fiercely at the young man standing among the crowd and shouted, “I refuse to accept it! Why can he become a disciple of the Divine Venerable when we have the same good spiritual root!”

"He just has good fortune in his spiritual root, but I'm still better at cultivation. If I were a disciple of the Divine Sovereign, I wouldn't be worse than him!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, doesn't the Divine Lord fear being criticized for being so heartless"

Ning Shu was also a little stunned, he frowned slightly. A bit puzzled, how did Sikong Hengyu know what had happened to him in the secret realm

and even personally went out to help him settle the score.

Ning Shu couldn't say it wasn't shocking. He raised his head and looked at Si Kong Heng Yu, only feeling that the other party stood there, like a god on an altar, so far away that he could only look at him from afar but not get close.

My heart was filled with a surge of warmth.

Ning Shu's guilt deepened. As a disciple of Si Kong Heng Yu, he had indeed failed to live up to expectations and brought shame upon his master's name.

Si Kong Hengyu's icy gaze locked onto Xue Zi jiu. He lowered his head, his pale lips parting slightly: "Do you have any objections to my decision"

Xue Zi Jiu only felt a chill run down his spine. He had long heard that Si Kong Heng Yu was a prodigy who stood out from the crowd. He had become a Jin Dan cultivator at just a teenager and single-handedly ventured into the Demon Realm, killing countless demon cultivators.

Everyone said he was a virtuous and pious man. As long as Sikong Hengyu was present, the demon realm would not dare to attack the righteous path.

Xue Zi Jiu thought, right and wrong were just about bearing some punishment. At worst, he would be expelled from the sect, but one day, he would get revenge. But he didn't expect that Si Kong Heng Yu would actually do it so thoroughly, wanting to cripple his cultivation!

Isn't his disciple just doing nothing

Xue Zi's resentment was palpable as he moved his lips and said, "…Disciple has known his mistake. Why wouldn’t Master give him a chance to rectify it Besides, Ning Senior Brother isn't blameless either, is he"

The main hall was deathly silent, not a single person daring to utter a sound.

The divine might was too terrifying.

Si Kong Heng Yu looked at the person, without speaking.

But Xue Zi-jiu felt a chill of fear in his heart.

For a long time.

A cold, emotionless voice came over: “If he is harmed in the slightest, I will personally grind you to dust.”

"My disciple, I haven't bullied him. How could I allow outsiders to wrong him"

He said this in a cold tone.

Then, without even glancing at Xue Ziqiu, he cast a chilling look upon the crowd. By now, Xue Ziqiu had already turned pale as death and lay on the ground, unconscious.

....

Until Si Kong Hengyu left, Ning Shu was still a little dazed.

He only felt like something was beating in his chest, a tightness that made him uneasy. He pursed his lips, unsure why he felt this way.

And Zhou WuChang then lightly touched him, saying: "My lord, for you, to move heaven and earth like this, truly makes me envious."

Ning Shu remained silent.

He pursed his lips slightly and opened his mouth: "If someone else became the Master's disciple, the Master would do the same."

Zhou Wu Chang, however, said: "But the divine being took a fancy to you. What's there to be dissatisfied with"

Ning Shu didn't speak, he just shook his hand. He still hadn't said the words in his heart. Sikong Hengyu's disciple wasn't originally him, but someone else. The one who should have enjoyed all this was that person.

He was like someone who stole something from others.

A hint of bitterness crept into my heart. I muttered dejectedly, "You don't understand."

Zhou Wu Chang hesitated for a moment before saying: "The Divine Lord has truly been very good to you, he helped you out today. Throughout the sect, many people used to whisper behind your back, but now they will not dare to show you any disrespect."

Ning Shu was startled, then understood the hardship of the Divine Lord.

He nodded and said, "…I won't disappoint my master."

Ning Shu made up her mind, whether it was because he was Si Kong Hengyu's disciple or not. But the other party cared about him so much, she couldn't let him down, she would practice hard when she went back.

It's not just about making a good impression, but also about not wasting the goodwill of the revered ones.

Out of nowhere, Lingling popped up and said in surprise, "Host, Si Kong Hengyu's favorability towards you is actually forty!"

Ning Shu was even more surprised than him. He hadn't checked the other person's favorability rating lately. After all, in the secret realm, he had very little contact with Shen Wu Zun. Before coming in, Sikong Hengyu's favorability towards him was only fifteen, but now it had increased so much!

"Lingling asked again, "Did something happen while I was gone" Her tone was filled with surprise, after all, Sikong Hanyue practiced the emotionless Dao, and brushing up on his favorability was harder than reaching the heavens.

Ning Shu was even more confused than Ling Ling. He shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

He also naturally felt very strange in his heart. He had done so many things in the past. He worked hard to cultivate and fawn over Shen Wu Zun, but it was not as good as this inexplicable source of favor.

Ning Shu felt a bit of frustration in her heart, but she couldn't figure out where this feeling came from. Even if she tried to investigate, it wouldn't help, so she could only suppress the doubts in her mind.

After returning to Tianqifeng, Ning Shu immediately went to find Sikong Hengyu.

He felt that he had performed mediocrely in this secret realm and was deeply ashamed.

But Si Kong Hengyu said, "Your performance is already very good. Why belittle yourself"

Ningshu noticed his light eyes were always fixed on her. She pursed her lips, feeling a little ashamed, and said: "Master became a Golden Core when he was only a teenager. As Master's disciple, my aptitude is not even half as good..."

Sī Kōng Héng Yù walked over.

Ning Shu couldn't help but be startled, noticing the icy aura. For a moment, she felt dazed. Never before had the other party been so close when standing in front of her.

Before I could think further, I felt a hand covering my head.

"Smooth sailing."

Si Kong Hengyu said faintly, "If everyone thought like you, wouldn't they feel ashamed and die of shame upon seeing me"

Ning Shu: "..."

Si Kong Hengyu glanced at the young man's flushed earlobes and said, "Did you have any extra gains from this trip to the secret realm"

Ning Shu was taken aback, her heart pounding in her chest. Remembering what had happened in the cave, she averted her gaze. She opened her mouth, feeling flustered as she tried to change the subject: "Master, how did you know about my..."

Sikushengh looked down at him and said, "Cangming was sent by me."

Ning Shu was slightly taken aback, looking at Cang Ming with some surprise. Cang Ming was actually sent by his master.

"This is your first trial, and I'm worried something might happen to you in the secret realm, so I asked Cang Ming to follow behind and keep an eye on you." Si Kong Hengyu's gaze was fixed on the young man, "Is there anything else you want to ask your master"

Ning Shu shook her head, then thought of what happened in the cave. Could Cang Ming have also told their master

A flush crept onto his face, and he stammered, "D-did Cang Ming tell Master about anything else..."k speculation.Even after work, I have to take care of Mother Ning. I find it hard to even manage a part-time job.Ning Shu started to regret a little, how could she have refused Qi Zong's job offer fo...
