Hearing the Supreme Elder's accusation, Ye Qiuling didn't speak, and Nangong Yi didn't speak either.
Both remained silent.
They have nothing to say.
Nangong Yi is Ye Qiuling's master, and he single-handedly brought Ye Qiuling out. He had high hopes for her, so he thought of paving the way for her and helping her rise to the top.
Of course the higher-ups, including the Supreme Elder, are aware of this.
Therefore, Ye Qiuling's fault is Nangong Yi's fault.
As the sect leader, Nangong Yi is responsible for all affairs of the entire sect, but the Supreme Elder only has the power to make suggestions according to the sect rules and cannot interfere with his decisions.
In addition, he is experienced and powerful in doing things, so he has always been arbitrary in the sect.
This time it was rare for a major error to occur.
So now that the Supreme Elder took the opportunity to criticize him, he could only remain silent.
After a moment of silence, another Supreme Elder scolded: "Master Nangong, demons are best at disguising themselves and deceiving people, especially demons. How dare you leave things to Qiu Ling?"
"She is only twenty this year, how much experience does she have? She can easily be deceived by those demons!"
Monsters can transform into humans and use their human appearance to deceive others, but for practitioners, they are relatively easy to identify.
But the demons are different. The demons have the ability to directly interfere with the souls of practitioners.
Therefore, if you are not careful, you will be deceived by the other party.
After hearing this accusation, Nangong Yi and Ye Qiuling continued to remain silent without making any excuses.
When the Supreme Elder saw that the two of them were silent, he educated him again: "Sect Master Nangong, Deputy Sect Leader Ye, please remember the lesson learned this time and don't make similar mistakes next time."
"yes."
"yes."
The two of them answered with difficulty.
Nangong Yi, like Ye Qiuling, is also a genius with extraordinary talents. He has a high self-esteem and does not allow himself to make mistakes at all.
He had done very well in the past, but today was the first time he was educated by the Supreme Elder.
You know, none of these supreme elders can compare to him in practice.
It was just because of his seniority and age that he became a Supreme Elder.
People of their own age who are truly capable have already been absorbed into the aristocratic family, how can they just stay in the family and wait to die?
Therefore, their education, this education from the weak, made him feel particularly shameful.
The shame in Ye Qiuling's heart was even worse.
First, she messed up things by herself, which proved her lack of ability. It confirmed other people's evaluation of her - she didn't have enough experience.
Secondly, it was because this incident caused her master to be punished, which made her even more embarrassed to face it.
"Okay? Let's leave it like this." A Supreme Elder came out to smooth things over and said, "Has the matter ended up like this? It's not just the two of them. It's also your other deputy sect leaders and elders? There are also people outside.
Deacons, everyone is inseparable."
These words made everyone present feel aggrieved.
These supreme elders do nothing but practice cultivation on weekdays. They don't care about the internal affairs at all. Now there is a problem. They all come out to rely on their elders, which is really unpleasant.
However, everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
After all, the rules are there, and the Supreme Elder has the power to make suggestions and supervise.
"Wait? There's something else."
Suddenly? A Supreme Elder looked at Nangong Yi and asked: "Master Nangong, I heard that Qiu Ling proposed to you a few days ago to give the innate warrior from the Chiyang Sect a quota to participate in the genius battle. Is there a quota?
this matter?"
"Yes!" Nangong Yi replied truthfully without evading.
"What nonsense!"
Several Supreme Elders shook their heads repeatedly.
"Our Tianyuan Sect is a practicing sect, how can we open the door to those ordinary warriors?"
"A warrior is still a warrior after all? Even if he becomes an innate, he is still a warrior? How can he be compared with us practitioners?"
"Even if you give him five hundred years to practice, he will still be like that? Still participating in the genius war? It's just a laughing stock!"
"Master Nangong? You are becoming increasingly unreliable."
"Qiu Ling is the same. He's already a deputy sect master, but he's still as careless as a child."
"..."
Nangong Yi was infuriated by the comments made by these old guys, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Qiu Ling just made a suggestion to me, saying to observe his situation, and did not say to directly let him join the battle.
Quota!”
Upon hearing this, several of the Supreme Elders instantly fell down.
"Master Nangong, what do you mean? If he performs well, are you really prepared to do what Qiu Ling says?"
"Master Nangong, don't forget your identity!"
Nangong Yi narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "In this world, the strong are respected. If that innate warrior performs better than our disciples, why can't we give him a chance?"
The thing that annoys him the most about these old guys is that they are really incompetent and they only know how to restrict people with various rules and regulations all day long.
He understands why these old guys like this.
Because they are too weak!
Only the weak need to set up some rules and regulations to distinguish themselves from others.
Just like the mortals in the secular world, they come up with various etiquette and rules to classify people with similar strength into three, six or nine grades.
What level of people can ride in a sedan chair, what level of people can wear rich clothes, what level of people can marry three wives and four concubines, and so on, it is extremely complicated.
A truly strong person doesn't need these things at all.
A truly strong man suppresses everything, who dares to disobey?
Does it need to be so troublesome?
"Master Nangong, what do you mean?" Several Supreme Elders asked in unison.
"It's not interesting." Nangong Yi said coldly: "I just want to tell you that dealing with the demons was my mistake. I admit it and I am willing to accept criticism with an open mind."
"But for other normal matters, you'd better stop gesticulating."
"I am the leader of this Tianyuan Sect!"
Several elders felt the aura emanating from Nangong Yi and swallowed back the words on their lips.
They have failed too many times in their lives, and they have already become weak at this age. How can they dare to compete with Nangong Yi?
What I said just now is just to seize Nangong Yi's mistake and take the opportunity to exercise his power as the supreme elder to find a sense of presence.
If they really want to fight Nangong Yi, they don't have the courage and strength.
"Hey, as the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences in front of you!"
"When I get old, I won't be able to defeat you. Master Nangong, you can take care of yourself."
A few Supreme Elders muttered a few useless words and took the lead in leaving Tianyuan Hall.
Nangong Yi ignored them and said to the elders present: "Let's continue and discuss the next topic."
…
Jiuli Mansion.
Jiuli Mountains.
After Lin Yu walked into the monster's cave, he found that the interval between obtaining Yuan Energy had shortened a bit. It was obvious that he was getting closer to that thing or place.
