Free Web NovelChapter 1543: Chapter 1543: Piaomiao Sect
The Medicine Sect and Array Sect have arrived as well, and their reception is the same as that of the first sect to enter.
Watching as others utilized their arrays, these two sects weren’t lacking in Spirit Stones and set up Array Plates too.
The Artifact Sect did the same upon arrival, while only the Talisman Sect and Beast Taming Sect, who have good relations with the Piaomiao Sect, refrained from such actions.
Two days later, a steward came to knock on the array. Su Yuanyuan allowed him in.
"Su Zhenjun, you are invited to the front hall."
Su Yuanyuan already knew everyone had arrived. "I’m truly sorry. I don’t feel well, so I won’t be attending."
What is this situation? The disciples of Xuantian Sect barely held back their smiles.
"Su Zhenjun?"
Su Yuanyuan had already left, leaving only empty seats in front.
Thunder True Monarch of Sword Sect, upon learning of Xuantian Sect’s news, also didn’t see the steward, claiming to be unwell too.
The Medicine Sect and Array Sect had initially met with the steward but cited illness after receiving the news as well.
This caused quite a stir, with six sects visiting and four claiming illness. How could Nascent Soul Cultivators feel unwell?
The Sect Master of Piaomiao Sect gritted his teeth. "As you can see, Xuantian Sect is arrogant and dismissive, bullying our Piaomiao Sect."
"Weiwo True Monarch, that Su Zhenjun indeed shows no respect." Beast Taming Sect already held grudges against Su Yuanyuan’s family and even Xuantian Sect.
One Talisman True Monarch from Talisman Sect remained silent, not wanting to offend Xuantian Sect, especially Su Yuanyuan, whose cultivation speed was so rapid that she couldn’t be a typical person.
Weiwo called for the steward again, instructing them to schedule for tomorrow.
Su Yuanyuan avoided the meeting, sending a Foundation Establishment Disciple to notify them to discuss it in two days.
Xuantian Sect’s stance led three other sects to decide similarly.
At night, Weiwo met with Jiangshan Daojun and exaggerated the situation.
Jiangshan was an upright person, truly dissatisfied with the Sect Master, thinking he was too petty.
However, changing the Sect Master had to wait until the issue was resolved first.
That junior is indeed overly arrogant.
Two days later, stewards waited outside. Four sects then came out together.
Seeing the Medicine Sect’s leader, Su Yuanyuan smiled and greeted, as he was her son’s fellow sect member and had a good relationship.
True Monarch Zhi Jian smiled and returned the greeting. "Su Zhenjun."
They exchanged smiles.
From Array Sect came Mizong True Monarch, who was the senior brother of Shunyi True Man, who once competed with Su Yuanyuan.
The stewards cautiously led the way ahead. Honestly, Su Yuanyuan had no desire to bully the young disciples, but found Piaomiao Sect’s behavior off-putting, exhibiting collective pettiness. With such a sect leader, how far could Piaomiao Sect be led?
The group entered the hall, with One Talisman True Monarch standing up and Hu Wei True Monarch rising as well.
Weiwo looked at Su Yuanyuan, filled with disdain, thinking a woman like her couldn’t be good news.
The group exchanged greetings, and Weiwo, unable to hold back, said, "Su Zhenjun, you’ve recovered? Why do you feel unwell when visiting our Piaomiao Sect?"
Su Yuanyuan exerted direct pressure, catching Weiwo, a Nascent Soul Eighth Layer cultivator, off guard with such intensity that he broke into a sweat.
This surprised several Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall.
Su Yuanyuan looked at Weiwo’s state, saying, "I become unwell when my mood is bad, and being unwell worsens my mood further.
Do you think you might also be like this, Weiwo True Monarch?"
With that, she withdrew the pressure.
The atmosphere in the hall shifted subtly.
"Such arrogance from the junior."
A wave of pressure surged toward Su Yuanyuan.
Thunder True Monarch moved but was stopped by Su Yuanyuan. She weathered the pressure, saying, "Senior, does this truly count as arrogance?"
With that, she directly resisted Jiangshan’s pressure. Although it was challenging, she couldn’t afford to lose face.
She already understood Piaomiao Sect’s intentions, likening them to idle dreamers.
Jiangshan didn’t expect this junior to resist him?
"You do have some skills."
Jiangshan appeared in the hall.
"Senior, I have no great skills, nor am I truly arrogant. Do I really need to spell out why I’m like this?"
Jiangshan inwardly sighed, thinking if Piaomiao Sect had such juniors, what worries could there be?
The others greeted Jiangshan.
"Alright, everyone, have a seat."
Su Yuanyuan was quite satisfied with Piaomiao Sect’s Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch, finding him upright.
"The purpose of inviting everyone is to restore Piaomiao Sect’s reputation."
No one responded, waiting for him to continue.
"I believe you can represent your sects, and thus you must have discussed our conditions. Share your decision now!"
The others looked at Su Yuanyuan, waiting for her to respond.
Su Yuanyuan thought to herself, "Am I foolish? I won’t be the first to jump into this matter."
"Su Zhenjun, what is Xuantian Sect’s stance?" Jiangshan waited for quite a while without receiving any answer, feeling this wasn’t the time to wait.
Upon being named, Su Yuanyuan smiled, "Senior, before coming, our Sect Leader specifically instructed me to make decisions.
My knowledge on the matter is limited, but it seems there is collusion between your sect and Duobao Pavilion?
My principle is not fearing mistakes; one must be courageous to take responsibility."
Her words were bluntly put.
Jiangshan frowned. "That was the individual’s actions, unrelated to Piaomiao Sect."
Su Yuanyuan smiled, "Senior, I hail from the Mortal World, knowing if a son errs, the father can’t escape accountability. Although the analogy may not be entirely suitable, the principle is similar."
Nothing more was said. The hall grew very stifling.
Weiwo True Monarch grew anxious. He glanced at Hu Wei True Monarch.
"Su Zhenjun, what you say holds truth, but as seven major sects, we share deep connections, and other Piaomiao Sect cultivators are rather innocent."
Su Yuanyuan looked at Hu Wei True Monarch, "Beast Taming Sect truly sets the standard as a major sect.
I admire Beast Taming Sect’s fraternal bonds deeply.
However, our Xuantian Sect is indeed struggling to make ends meet. We can’t compare to the grandiose resources of Beast Taming Sect. We lack the capability to help others, though if Beast Taming Sect can, they might help our Xuantian Sect."
Thunder True Monarch nearly burst into laughter.
The Sect Master had mentioned that Piaomiao Sect wanted to restore its dignity, but that was contingent on who would resolve the issue.
Su Zhenjun indeed clung to her stance fiercely, showing no signs of conceding any dignity. It was merely about listening with no choice but to follow Xuantian Sect’s lead.
Jiangshan frowned at Su Yuanyuan. "What do you mean? Do we need aid?"
Su Yuanyuan quickly shook her head, remaining extremely respectful, "I apologize, senior, I misunderstood."
The True Monarchs from various sects admired Su Yuanyuan internally; she was adaptable, yet stood firm on her principles.
"Since Xuantian Sect maintains this attitude, there’s nothing further to discuss." Jiangshan said, leaving, clearly displeased.
