She was only the lowest-ranked member of the Elders Council, and she was not even an official elder. At most, she was one of the candidates for the next generation of elders. She was on the same level as Bing Wuqing, a newly promoted junior. She had no right to speak at such an occasion.
However, she had to stand up at this time. Otherwise, if Xue Liping really branded Leng Leng as a traitorous disciple, Leng Leng would really die a tragic death in the future. Even her master would not be able to save her life.
"Vice Sect Leader Xue, you are mistaken. Since Xu Xiaodong is a member of the Elders Council, she naturally has the right to participate in the discussion. Our Snow Sword Sect has always been like this. Vice Sect Leader Xue, you aren't thinking of changing the rules left behind by our ancestors, are you?" Chi Qianqiu frowned.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with different expressions, Xue Liping could not help but curse 'old fart' in his heart. He could only smile awkwardly and say, "Haha, Elder Chi is too serious. I just saw that the other elders haven't said anything yet, and she, the lowest-ranked one, is rushing to speak. She doesn't know the rules, so I'm just reminding her."
Chi Qianqiu looked around at everyone and smiled. "It seems that the other elders have no intention of expressing their opinions. Since that's the case, why not let Xu Xiaodong speak first? After all, she is Leng Leng's master. She has a lot of say in this matter. "
"Thank you, Elder Chi." Xu Xiaodong nodded gratefully at Chi Qianqiu. She was not one of Chi Qianqiu's people, so she knew that Chi Qianqiu's words were not entirely to stand up for her. More importantly, it was to prevent Xue Liping from getting what he wanted. However, no matter what, Chi Qianqiu had helped her out of trouble, so she owed him a favor.
"No need, I'm just speaking up for justice." Chi Qianqiu waved his hand and said, "The Elders Council has always paid attention to open speech. If you have anything to say, you can speak freely in front of everyone."
Xu Xiaodong nodded and took a deep breath. "Alright, I want to ask Vice Sect Leader Xue, who did you say was a traitorous disciple? Could it be Leng Leng? "
"Of course. Based on her previous actions, such as colluding with outsiders to deal with our sect's Eldest Senior Brother and publicly disobeying the sect's orders, isn't that a betrayal of the sect?" Xue Liping said as a matter of fact.
"What happened to them in the secular world? I'm afraid it's hard to convince people with just a letter from your son. During the last meeting, we've also said that everything can only be investigated after Coold returns. Even if you're the Vice Sect Leader Xue, you can't just accuse others of being a traitor disciple for no reason, right? Besides, the Sect Leader has the final say on how to deal with Leng Leng. What right do you, a Vice Sect Leader, have to overstep your authority? "In order to protect Leng Leng, Xu Xiaodong had made up his mind to throw caution to the wind.
These words could be said to be merciless, and even Chi Qianqiu couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. As for Xue Liping's faction, they were all flustered and exasperated. "What did you say?!"
On the other hand, Xue Liping didn't show any anger on his face at this moment. Instead, he smiled with great interest. "Interesting, really interesting. I've been the Vice Sect Leader for so many years, but no one has ever spoken to me like this. Xu Xiaodong, you're the first."
The more it was like this, the more frightening it was. Xu Xiaodong's heart tightened when he met his cold eyes, but he still braced himself and said, "Did I say anything wrong?"
"Since you're so eloquent, then this Vice Sect Leader will listen to your wise opinion. Why don't you tell me, how should we deal with this matter? Or is it that we don't need to deal with it at all? Should we just swallow it like a good-for-nothing, and let Bing Wuqing and my son Xue Jianfeng be beaten up for nothing? "Xue Liping said with an unfathomable expression.
Xu Xiaodong couldn't help but choke when she heard this. Xue Liping's words were obviously malicious. It was human nature for her to speak up for her disciple, Leng Leng, and others wouldn't say much. However, this matter was obviously not something that she, a candidate elder ranked last, could intervene. No matter what she said, she was overestimating herself and couldn't escape the fate of being ridiculed.
But at this point, Xu Xiaodong could only continue to say, "I didn't say that. This matter is originally a matter for disciples to gain experience. If any random matter needs to be personally dealt with by the sect, can it still be called experience? What's more, our Snow Sword Sect has already violated the rules by sending Bing Wuqing alone. Now, if we send other high-level members, what will the other primeval sects think? "
"What will they think? If we really care about the sect's image, this matter is definitely not a show of weakness. If we lower our heads in front of the Blue Cloud Sect of the north island this time, in the future, not only the four major sects and the ten small sects and families, but also some other stray dogs and cats can bully our Snow Sword Sect. This is an insult to the sect. Can you bear this sin? "Xue Liping snorted disdainfully.
"Deputy Sect Leader Xue, you talk big, but you seem to have forgotten one thing. The Blue Cloud Sect of the north island isn't a single sect. It's on the same side as the Soaring Sky Sect of the north island and the Xuanji Sect of the north island. Provoking it is equivalent to provoking the entire North Island Alliance!" At this time, Chi Qianqiu suddenly spoke again and said lightly, "Although our Snow Sword Sect belongs to the Middle Island Alliance, we don't have much say. The Middle Island Pavilion has the final say in the entire Middle Island Alliance, and we're just a vassal sect. What do we have to compete with the North Island Alliance?"
"Elder Chi, you can even say such words that boost the morale of others and belittle our own. I think you've really gone senile!" Xue Liping shook his legs and looked at the sky.
"Is that so?" Chi Qianqiu was not angry at all. Hearing that, he said calmly, "Yes, I'm indeed old. The world will belong to the young people in the future. Deputy Sect Leader Xue, you're in the prime of your life. If there's a conflict with the North Island Alliance in the future, why don't you take full charge?"
"Er …" Xue Liping could not help but choke. It was not a problem for him to fan the flames and stir up trouble here, but he did not have the courage to actually go against the entire North Island Alliance. Not to mention him, there was probably no one in the entire Snow Sword Faction who had the courage to do so.
Although this time our people met with trouble in the territory of the Blue Cloud Sect of the north island, they were the ones who harbored Leng Leng first. Everyone has their reasons. They may not be able to involve the entire North Island Alliance in this kind of thing. Moreover, our Snow Sword Sect is not without allies. As long as we find someone to act in the Middle Island Pavilion, we may not be afraid of the North Island Alliance! "Fifth Elder suddenly stood up to support Xue Liping.
