When Fang Meiyun, who was cultivating, received the news, she hurriedly went to attend this meeting.
Since the matter involved the law department, the meeting was held right there.
By the time they arrived, the elders and disciples of the Sect were almost all present; the only ones absent were the disciples who were carrying out missions outside.
The elders and disciples of the law department were standing on the left, while the others were on the right.
This scene made Fang Meiyun feel quite pained.
The entire branch of the law department was made up of her people.
And now they seemed to be becoming the enemies of the entire Sect of the maidens?
Upon seeing Fang Meiyun arrive, the elders and disciples of the law department shouted in unison: "Sect Master!"
The others in the hall said it in a disordered and weak manner.
Fang Meiyun frowned and responded with a "hmm," then scanned everyone present and asked aloud from where she was standing.
"What happened?"
An elder from the law department stepped forward, cupped her fists, and said:
"Sect Master, today two disciples from the law department were conducting a routine inspection and found an impure object in the cave of Wu Qian, a disciple from the forge department. According to the sect's laws, she was punished."
"We didn't expect this disciple to be so stubborn. Not only did she not reflect on her mistakes, but she also insulted the Sect Master and violently attacked our two disciples."
"Then more disciples from the Discipline Hall came to offer help, but to our surprise, disciples from other departments joined in to beat up ours."
"Three disciples of the Qi Refining realm and five from the Golden Core realm were severely injured, and their cultivations were destroyed; the others were also injured! We ask the Sect Master for justice!"
"We ask the Sect Master for justice!"
The disciples from the law department shouted in unison.
The disciples from the other departments responded with mocking laughter.
"And what do you have to say for yourselves?"
Under normal circumstances, with Fang Meiyun's temperament, she would have punished everyone by now. The rule that the law doesn't punish the crowd doesn't apply to her; if they broke the sect's rules, no one would be spared!
"Sect Master, it's better if the person involved tells what happened herself."
A beautiful elder smiled kindly and made Wu Qian step forward.
Wu Qian's magical robe was full of rips, and her pale face showed that she had been severely injured in the previous fight.
She stepped forward and declared directly: "Those two idiots slandered me. I've never had that kind of object in my room. They defamed and humiliated me; how could I tolerate it?"
"It was found in your room! Are you still denying it? I dare to swear by my Dao Heart: if I slandered you, I will never progress in my cultivation, I will be tormented by internal demons, and I will die a miserable death!"
Liu Xiaozhen, seriously injured, held herself up with difficulty, raised her hand, and swore.
After swearing by the Great Dao, she suffered no adverse reactions.
Which proved that she was telling the truth.
"I also dare to swear by the Great Dao! If that cucumber was mine, may I, Wu Qian, be tormented by internal demons and die a miserable death!"
Wu Qian also raised her hand and swore.
She too suffered no reaction.
Both parties swore by the Great Dao, and both were sincere.
This left everyone present stunned.
What the hell is going on here?
"And is it still not the fault of the law department? They punished a fellow disciple without properly investigating, thinking they were above everyone because of their authority! What happened today is the consequence of their own actions!"
At that moment, an elder stepped forward and shouted angrily.
She was one of the first to oppose Fang Meiyun within the sect. She had once been part of the law department but didn't hesitate to leave it to sever ties with Fang Meiyun.
Now she considered the law department a nest of corruption.
Her shout resonated, and the others began to criticize the law department as well, blaming them for the incident.
"Then, with what right did she insult the Sect Master?"
Seeing that the situation wasn't in their favor, Liu Xiaozhen shouted loudly.
"How did she insult the Sect Master?"
"She said that the Sect Master spends every day with two men, but is extremely strict with the disciples, and that's a source of mockery!"
"..."
Fang Meiyun's face, which was already not very attractive, instantly turned pale with anger, and her cold gaze fixed on Wu Qian.
A young woman riding a white deer positioned herself next to Wu Qian, blocking Fang Meiyun's icy gaze, and said indifferently:
"Why get so angry, Sect Master? The young woman was a bit direct with her words, but are they wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking,
a flash of sword light mixed with lightning streaked through the air.
A flying sword appeared above the young woman riding the deer, and Meng Zihao stepped in front of her with a cold smile.
"And you, the one with the deer, what do you want to say? That what she said wasn't wrong? Is what happens between Meiyun and me any of your business? What's so special about a mere submaster of the sect?"
"Oh, the submistress of the Sect! She's quite impressive. I wonder, could she withstand three moves under my hand?"
Xiao Junle's casual voice also echoed slowly.
No one knew when he appeared behind Fang Meiyun, and with complete stealth, he gave her a slap on the backside.
Fang Meiyun blushed instantly. Fortunately, this guy used a secret technique that prevented others from seeing it; otherwise, she would have had to risk her life with him right then and there.
The submistress of the Sect, a young woman riding a deer, said coldly:
"Both of you can try. This body won't resist at all. I want to see if you two outsiders have the ability to help Fang Meiyun kill everyone who is dissatisfied with her."
"You can't act thoughtlessly!"
Before the two could respond, Fang Meiyun hurriedly shouted loudly to stop them.
Allowing outsiders to intimidate her own people was a stigma she could not bear!
Meng Zihao and Xiao Junle snorted at the same time, positioning themselves to the left and right of Fang Meiyun, facing the crowd.
"Sect Leader, everything that happened today started because of you. You were the one who set the Sect's rules, but you were the first to break them, even allowing two men to roll around in our Sect of Maidens."
"Do you know what the Hehuan sect was selling yesterday? They released a new painting, and they have turned us all into the laughing stock."
"I want to see what face you have to keep holding the position of Sect Leader!"
The young woman riding the deer gritted her teeth as she took out a jade scroll and threw it at Fang Meiyun.
Fang Meiyun caught it and scanned it with her spiritual consciousness.
She almost fainted from disgust.
The scenes on the scroll featured Meng Zihao, Xiao Junle, and herself.
Inside the Sect of Maidens, indecent scenes without restraint were depicted, and even the Sect's name had been replaced with an obscene one in the illustrations.
The painting was fake.
But damn it, the people were real!
Who doesn't already know that Meng Zihao and Xiao Junle live in the Sect of Maidens? Just imagining what the rumors will say makes it unbearable.
After crushing the jade scroll, Fang Meiyun's face turned grim, and gritting her teeth, she said:
"It's my fault… I… am willing to resign from my position as Sect Leader to atone for my guilt."
At this point, she had no choice.
Both men were her support and her misfortune.
Moreover, with today's break between the law department and the other departments, if she didn't take responsibility, the law department of the Sect of Maidens would become a joke.
"Agreed."
With Fang Meiyun's words coming to an end, a female voice without the slightest trace of emotion echoed from the sky.
It was the former patriarch of the Sect of Maidens, who had been in seclusion!
Her approval meant that Fang Meiyun's position as Sect Leader was over.
Upon hearing the former patriarch, Fang Meiyun's face showed even more melancholy.
The members of the law department were disheartened, while the disciples and elders from the other departments smiled with satisfaction.
"Since Sister Meiyun has resigned from the position of Sect Leader, this body, as submistress, will temporarily assume leadership duties."
The young woman riding the deer looked at everyone and said:
"What happened today will be considered closed. From now on, no one should continue investigating this matter. All grievances are annulled. The laws of the Sect will be rewritten, taking into account everyone's opinions. The punishments imposed on the disciples who violated the rules will be nullified, spiritual stones will be returned, and confinements will end…"
She announced more than a dozen orders at once, completely annulling all the political legacy Fang Meiyun had left.
Disheartened, Fang Meiyun closed her eyes and sighed deeply, turning around to return to her residence.
"Meiyun, are you alright?"
Meng Zihao and Xiao Junle accompanied her on each side, asking.
"I'm fine. Go away, I want to be alone for a moment."
Fang Meiyun's tone was extremely calm, and it sounded exhausted.
The two looked at each other, and in a rare gesture, they didn't follow her but instead walked off in opposite directions.
With the full pardon of the disciples who had violated the rules,
Ning Qingyan, who had been confined in the Pure Water Formation, was also released.
During this time, with her cultivation suppressed and punished within the formation,
every minute and second had been extreme torment.
Finally freed from the formation, completely exhausted, she didn't speak to her fellow disciples, and upon returning to her residence, she lay on her bed and closed her eyes tightly.
During the days of confinement, she had longed for that spatial fragment every day.
There, she didn't need to think about anything. She could lie down and sleep with her eyes closed, every day was simple but happy.
