In the Body Sect, no matter what it was, as long as it involved a legacy disciple, it was not a small matter.
And big matters always spread very quickly.
While Zhong Huai was waiting for good news from his subordinates, the shocking news of Que Lian joining Xie Tian and Huang Hua coughing up blood and fleeing came to him, causing his soul to leave his body.
So when he heard that his follower was helping Xie Tian fix the hole in the door, he didn't have any reaction.
At the same time, the group of legacy disciples were also shocked out of their wits. Even Xie Tian's master in name, You Xiao Chan, was unable to close her alluring lips at this moment. She had an adorable expression on her face.
"W-What's the situation now?!"
You Da stuttered, "Huang Hua coughed up blood and fled. Zhong Huai's follower is helping him fix the door. He and Que Lian are sitting on the ground, exchanging pointers on the Body Refining Dao. There are also thousands of ordinary disciples around them!"
"Thousands!" You Xiao Chan suddenly stood up and said nervously, "They're fighting again!"
"No, no!" You Da gulped and replied foolishly, "They're listening to Xie Tian discuss the Body Refining Dao!"
You Xiao Chan sat down absent-mindedly. Gradually, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. She smiled the happiest and most sincere smile she had since coming to the Body Sect.
In her most difficult time, Xie Tian had stepped forward to redeem the last shred of face for her and the You family.
But that was only redeeming.
But now, Xie Tian had used some unknown method to make the number one core disciple, Que Lian, betray Huang Hua without hesitation and join him!
This was redeeming face!
He was helping the You family win the hearts of the Body Sect's people!
This was something that You Xiao Chan had never thought of from the beginning to the end.
No matter how she planned, she didn't think she could accomplish this. So she was prepared to borrow Zhong Huai's strength to accomplish these three things, to force the Body Sect to bow their heads and help the You family regain their throne.
"Nonsense!"
You Xiao Chan muttered these two words absent-mindedly. You Da and the others saw this and their hearts thumped. It's over. Isn't this the standard behavior of a young girl in love?
The third miss of the You family had been pushed by a follower.
Even if this attendant was a bit arrogant, You Da almost cried and hurriedly said, "Miss, what about Prince Jin?"
Her ignorant heart was shattered by those two words. Only after a long time did You Xiao Chan regain her composure. After pondering for a long time, a sorrowful expression gradually appeared on her face.
She knew that even though Xie Tian was a member of the You Family, everyone's hearts were only on him. Once the You Family was involved, everyone's hearts would fly away.
After all, that calamity a thousand years ago had been too great a blow to the Body Sect. It could be called an unforgettable humiliation. Only by relying on Zhong Huai's strength could they suppress it and allow the You family to have a chance to rise again.
"Spread the word!"
Unstoppable tears fell from You Xiao Chan's eyes. She smiled sweetly. "From today onwards, Hu Lai is no longer a steward of my You Family. He is no longer my follower."
Looking at You Xiao Chan's trembling figure as she left, You Da let out a long sigh in his heart. Young Mistress is too benevolent. She is helping Luo Lai. I hope he understands Young Mistress's painstaking efforts.
At this moment, the area of ordinary disciples was in harmony.
Zhong Huai's eight followers were renovating the holes and mending the stone doors in harmony. The surrounding tens of thousands of ordinary disciples were also listening to Xie Tian and Ke Ye discussing the Way of Body Tempering.
"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Patriarch Poshan carried a mountain and came to settle down for the body tempering cultivators of the world. He established a small peak and a large peak, but it was to let the younger generation not forget that the most important thing for a body tempering cultivator is a heart that moves forward bravely!"
"A body tempering cultivator prioritizes the body. If one does not go through all kinds of hardships, how can one become strong? The strength of the Body Sect is not a shield for us to not improve, nor is it a restraint for us to move forward bravely!"
"I heard that Patriarch Poshan did not have any cultivation techniques to pass down, and he reached the Emptiness Realm after carrying a mountain for ten years. Now that we are guarding the countless insights of our predecessors, we are still unable to move forward. How shameful!"
Ke Ye nodded as he listened and said loudly, "Senior Brother is right. Patriarch moved forward bravely and became a Body Sect. Senior Brother faced the difficulties and comprehended the Yang Lord Heavenly Patrol that has been lost for tens of thousands of years. We need to be encouraged by this!"
"What? Senior Brother Hu Lai comprehended the Yang Lord Heavenly Patrol!" The surrounding disciples gasped.
Ke Ye smiled bitterly and nodded. "I used Parting the Clouds and Viewing the Sun, and Senior Brother used Parting the Clouds and Viewing the Sun's variation, Yang Lord Heavenly Patrol. It was this move that enlightened me."
Everyone was in an uproar. They finally understood why Ke Ye was willing to become Xie Tian's follower.
Xie Tian shook his head. "You have a heart for body tempering. This is the most important thing. I was not the one who enlightened you. It was Patriarch Poshan."
He was not lying. If not for Poshan's kindness to him, he would not be so ostentatious and take the risk of exposing himself to impart what he comprehended from Poshan to the Body Sect disciples.
More and more disciples joined in the discussion, and the atmosphere was heated.
Gradually, everyone became used to Xie Tian talking about Patriarch Poshan and Patriarch Closed-Mouth and thought that it was Xie Tian's hobby.
The Body Sect's meeting hall was silent. Occasionally, a warden would run into the hall and repeat Xie Tian's words verbatim, causing everyone to look at each other.
"Heh, this little brat. He is very kind to his fellow disciples, but he is too arrogant!"
"That's right. He talks about Patriarch Poshan the moment he opens his mouth. What is this? He even scolds us!"
"I have to admit that what he said makes sense!"
Zhu Qing's face was ashen. Huang Hua, whom he had placed all his hopes on, had actually lost face to a mere follower. Zhu Qing's old face had been completely lost. Now that he saw everyone secretly praising Hu Lai, how could he endure it?
"This brat keeps mentioning Patriarch Poshan and is clearly disrespectful. The Disciplinary Hall will not tolerate such scum!"
Xia Yi glanced at Zhu Qing and said indifferently, "Everyone speaks the truth, but few practice it. However, his words are consistent with his actions. Otherwise, he would not have comprehended the Yang Lord Heavenly Patrol."
Everyone was shocked when he said that. It seemed that the Sect Master also thought highly of this idiot!
"Don't interfere in his affairs."
Xia Yi muttered to himself as he instructed. "You Xiao Chan seems to want to help this brat, but we have to guard against him. Let's continue as usual and let him do whatever he wants."
"Yes!"
"Observe him for a period of time. If he is not related to the You Family, slowly put him in an important position. If he is," Xia Yi's voice turned cold, "he will be an ordinary disciple for the rest of his life."
"Yes!"
Zhu Qing thought for a moment and hurriedly stood up. "Sect Master, Rakshasa is about to arrive in Yue Province. In another half a month, the entire Body Sect will go to war. Time is tight. Why don't we provoke You Xiao Chan and test Hu Lai?"
"Alright, but we cannot go overboard."
Time passed. When the hole in Xie Tian's door was completely restored, and the stone door was extremely bright, Zhong Huai's eight followers walked timidly to Xie Tian but did not even have the guts to speak.
After all, the scene just now was too shocking. One had to know that their master was only the third-ranked inheritance disciple. Even Huang Hua had vomited blood. What would they dare to do?
Moreover, at this moment, almost ten thousand people were looking at Hu Lai with worship. If they dared to say anything disrespectful to Hu Lai, they might not even be able to walk out alive.
"It's done!"
"Uh, yes, the hole! Oh no, the cave abode has been renovated, and the stone door has been replaced!"
Xie Tian glanced at the eight people. "Tell Monarch Jin that I have no intention of opposing him. This matter ends here. You may leave."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing the eight people walk over and leave in a sorry state, everyone laughed and sent them off. This display of not being afraid of offending Zhong Huai meant that they had completely regarded Xie Tian as their senior brother.
"This ends here for today." Xie Tian stood up and cupped his fists at everyone. "To have a heart of body refinement, to comprehend the path of body refinement, and to walk the path of body refinement, one cannot be lacking in any of them. Fellow disciples, let us encourage each other."
"Many thanks for Senior Brother's guidance!"
Almost ten thousand people stood up and respectfully bowed to Xie Tian.
"Sigh!"
Xia Yi, who had left the conference hall and arrived here, saw this scene, and his heart was filled with infinite emotions.
Carving Sickle used half an hour to open another cave next to the hole. He then went to the core disciple area and handed in the core disciple token.
"Carving Sickle, what are you doing!" Carving Sickle's master, Elder Meng Kui, came after hearing the news and shouted, "The core disciple status is not easy to come by. Don't rush!"
Carving Sickle knelt and kowtowed. "Master, the status is not important. What is important is the path. I have found my path, please help me, Master."
"You!" Meng Kui struggled for a long time and let out a long sigh. "You can give up the core disciple status, which shows that you are very determined. I only hope that you will not regret it in the future."
Carving Sickle smiled brightly. "I believe in Senior Brother Hu Lai!"
"Senior Brother Hu Lai!"
Meng Kui murmured with emotion as he savored the infinite trust contained in these four words. "I didn't expect that other than Misery, there would be someone who could make you call him Senior Brother!"
