Everyone chimed in one after another, and the entire meeting hall soon became like a market. It was noisy, and after arguing for a long time, no one could convince anyone.
"Enough!" Xue Liping finally couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed the table and shocked everyone. He snorted and said, "If you keep arguing like this, you won't be able to come to a conclusion even if you argue for ten days or half a month. In my opinion, let's settle the two most important things first. We can argue about the rest later!"
"What two things?" Everyone looked at him and asked.
"First, send healing elixirs to Bing Wuqing and my son Xue Jianfeng. This is the top priority." Xue Liping looked serious. Of course, his son Xue Jianfeng was the most important. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned. He paused and continued, "Second, aside from the Blue Cloud Clan of the north island, that guy named Lin Dongfang must be severely punished!"
The senior members of the Snow Sword School nodded. Xue Liping's words were reasonable. How to deal with the Blue Cloud Clan of the north island and how to deal with Leng Leng were things that could be discussed slowly. Only these two things could not be delayed and had to be decided soon.
Even though Chi Qianqiu didn't continue to disagree with him, he wouldn't just go along with him. He turned to Hong Qingyuan and said, "Leader, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with this yourself."
From the beginning to the end, Hong Qingyuan, the leader, had been watching from the sidelines. No one knew what he was thinking. Maybe he hadn't made up his mind yet, or maybe he was just playing a balance between Chi Qianqiu and Xue Liping. Anyway, he wanted to show that he was mysterious.
Hong Qingyuan glanced at everyone's faces and said slowly, "Okay, let's talk about the first thing first. To cure Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng's injuries, we need a fifth-class Recover Pill. We have one in the Snow Sword School, but it's a necessary reserve for emergencies. According to the rules of the school, only people above the level of an elder can use it."
Xue Liping's face darkened. Although Hong Qingyuan didn't say it clearly, his meaning was clear.
Between Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng, the former was one of the candidates for the position of Elder, but was not an official Elder. As for the latter, in terms of status, he was just a disciple. It was only because of his position as the Deputy Sect Leader that he had received so much attention. Neither of them fulfilled the requirements, so if they really wanted to follow the rules, there was no need to even think about getting a fifth-grade Recover Pill.
"But …" Xue Liping still wanted to fight for his son. After all, this was his only son. If he were to become a cripple, then there would be no one left to carry on the Xue Clan.
However, Hong Qingyuan only glanced at him once, and Xue Liping didn't dare to speak anymore. He could argue with Chi Qianqiu however he wanted, and to a certain extent, this was tacitly permitted by Hong Qingyuan. But if he dared to disobey Hong Qingyuan, then he wouldn't have a good time in the future.
"The second thing is about Lin Dongfang, who crippled Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng. Right now, we still can't confirm this person's identity. No one knows if he's an expert from the North Island Alliance, someone from the secular world, or a mysterious expert from some other place. Before we figure out his background, we can't act rashly. To be able to easily cripple Bing Wuqing in one move, this person's strength is not to be underestimated. Even among the Golden Core experts, he's not someone to be trifled with. It's best to be careful, "Hong Qingyuan said.
"No way? Sect Leader, our Snow Sword Sect is one of the ten small sects in the Archaic Alliance. It's fine that the North Island Alliance is so powerful, but even this old man who popped out of nowhere has to be so cautious and patient. If this gets out, won't people look down on us and say that our Snow Sword Sect has no one capable? "Xue Liping said hurriedly.
If he couldn't get the fifth-grade Recover Pill, then so be it. He could still think of other ways to get it, but if Hong Qingyuan didn't agree to deal with Lin Dongfang, then there was no chance at all. Right now, all he wanted was to avenge his son!
"Oh, then what do you think, Vice Sect Leader Xue?" Hong Qingyuan's tone was calm, without a hint of worry.
"In my opinion, with the strength of our Snow Sword Sect, there's no need to be so cautious. That Lin Dongfang is at most a Golden Core expert. Our Grand Sect Leader, who is in seclusion, is a Nascent Soul old monster. Why should we be afraid of him?" Xue Liping said proudly.
"Is that so? That makes sense. However, if Vice Sect Leader Xue has the ability, why don't you ask the Grand Sect Leader to come out and avenge your son? "Hong Qingyuan said with a faint smile.
"Uh …" Xue Liping was immediately speechless. The Grand Sect Leader's seclusion was the top priority of the entire Snow Sword Sect. Not to mention that he was just a Vice Sect Leader, even Hong Qingyuan, the Sect Leader, didn't have the guts to disturb him. As for avenging his son, that was simply a pipe dream.
As soon as Hong Qingyuan spoke, the two matters were immediately decided. Xue Liping could only choose to keep his mouth shut with a resentful expression. Since things had already come to this, there was no point in him saying anything else.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, then let's reply like this first. We'll discuss the other matters later." Hong Qingyuan knocked on the table and made the final decision.
Soon, the reply from the Snow Sword Sect's higher-ups reached Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng. The two of them hurriedly opened it, and their hearts immediately sank to the bottom.
There were no fifth-grade Recover Pills, nor were there any stronger experts to help. The letter only contained a few superficial words of comfort, and nothing else.
"This … How could this be?" Xue Jianfeng was dumbfounded.
Bing Wuqing was still huddled in the shadows, her expression gloomy. No one knew what she was thinking, but one thing was for sure — she was definitely not in a good mood at the moment.
"Let us recuperate? We don't even have the most basic healing pills, how are we supposed to recuperate? "Xue Jianfeng was still unwilling to give up, and studied the reply from top to bottom, trying to decipher the hidden meaning.
"There's no need to look, we've been abandoned," Bing Wuqing suddenly said from the shadows.
"What?" Xue Jianfeng was shocked to hear that. In fact, he had vaguely guessed this, but he still couldn't believe it. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No! It can't be! My father is the Vice Sect Leader, no matter what, he won't abandon me, definitely not! "
Bing Wuqing glanced at him. He was a beginner Golden Elixir expert, but he had been beaten into a cripple. In terms of impact, it was far more severe than Xue Jianfeng's. However, he had a much clearer view of his own situation than Xue Jianfeng.
