"Hurry up and kneel."
Pan Yi's legs went weak and he dropped to his knees. The few disciples behind him did the same.
Bai He took the jade pendant from Pan Yi's hand and returned it to Ye Shiyuan. "Hold on to it properly."
Ye Shiyuan gripped it tightly. The feeling of recovering what had been lost filled him with overwhelming emotion.
"You lot are truly something, actually daring to gossip about an elder behind their back. Who gave you the courage? And Ye Shiyuan is your Master's first disciple. Who allowed you to treat him like this?"
The few of them remained silent, not daring to respond.
However, Pan Yi was unconvinced, he said, "Little Elder Bai, what right does he have to be called my Master's first disciple? In a while, when the various major sects hold their competition, are we supposed to let the other sects laugh at Lingguang Sect? Other people would said that the first disciple of our Lingguang Sect is nothing more than a piece of trash."
In the original story, one month later, during the competition among the major sects, Ye Shiyuan appeared as a disciple of another sect and overwhelmed everyone else.
When facing others, he still showed some restraint, but Pan Yi was beaten by Ye Shiyuan until he was practically left with only half his life, and it took a full two months before he fully recovered.
Ye Shiyuan was someone who always repaid grievances.
Anyone who treated him poorly would be remembered and once he had the ability to take revenge, he would never show mercy.
Therefore, if he could build a good relationship with Ye Shiyuan now, under the protection of the male protagonist's halo, he would certainly be able to live steadily all the way to the finale.
"Trash this, trash that, who exactly are you talking about?" Bai He said coldly. "Insulting the Sect Master's first disciple in private, and entering his room without his permission, I think you're the one who's truly bringing shame to Lingguang Sect."
"Little Elder Bai, Master has already decided to expel Ye Shiyuan from the sect!" Although the Sect Master had not yet said these words aloud, it was only a matter of time.
Bai He sneered with disdain. "If that's the case, then from now on Ye Shiyuan belongs to my Baize Peak, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Yaoxing Peak! The four of you have ignored sect rules and privately talking bad about an elder, go over there and kneel. If you haven't knelt for three full hours, you're not allowed to get up."
Bai He pointed toward an empty area nearby.
The few of them standing in the doorway were truly an eyesore.
The group then obediently knelt to the side.
The sky was gray and overcast, looking as though rain was about to fall.
Bai He walked into Ye Shiyuan's room.
The room had originally been neat and orderly, yet it had now been rummaged through until it was in complete disarray.
