The clear sunlight shines down, reflecting a bright light in the Lingyun Sect's Zhengqi Hall, especially the four words "upright and bright" mentioned by the founding father on the plaque in the main hall, reflecting the dazzling light at this moment.
There were many people in the hall. People stood in two rows silently. On the contrary, in the middle of the empty space stood a young man dressed in gray coarse cloth. The man was thin and had a cold and stern light in his calm eyes.
People were silent, as if they were waiting for something, and they seemed to be expecting something. Some people's eyes showed pity and sympathy, and some people couldn't help showing joy and ridicule in their eyes. But they were still restraining, still enduring, and...
Before the real results were announced, no one dared to show the slightest expression, and no one dared to mock Shen Lang, the candidate for the top ten true disciples.
"Shen Lang, your Dantian has been broken, your true energy has leaked out, and you have become a waste that cannot practice cultivation. I now declare that you will be expelled from Lingyun Sect."
The majestic voice rolled like thunder, and without raising his head, Shen Lang knew that the person who would make the final judgment on his fate was none other than Taoist Cang Jie, the elder of the Lingyun Sect.
No need to think too much, this result was not unexpected, so Shen Lang had no expression on his face.
The rough cloth was not comfortable to wear. Shen Lang, who was twenty years old after joining the sect for four years, had not grown much in these four years, but the cloth was still a little small.
This was the cloth he wore when he first entered the sect four years ago. After wandering in the mortal world for more than ten years, he finally sensed the spiritual power of heaven and earth and was able to enter the sect and practice. Shen Lang originally thought that he had a family and would never see him again in this life.
There is no need to wander, and there is no need for this cloth.
Unexpectedly, three days ago when he was performing a sect mission, he had an accident and was injured by a sword in his pubic area...
In the mainland of China, the strong are respected. It is not uncommon for a certain disciple of a certain sect to become a waste due to serious injuries and become an abandoned disciple. A certain general of a certain country retired due to injury and had no choice but to return home due to illness.
It seemed that the scenery was still the same, but after returning home, he was bullied by dogs and was bullied by dogs. This has long been a story about bad things.
Useless useless people are destined to be abandoned by others. Shen Lang has understood this for a long time, but what makes him feel chilling is that after becoming a useless person, he, a true disciple candidate, had a layer of his skin ripped off.
The reward he received after completing the mission, the spiritual weapons and treasures he received, the spiritual stones he had accumulated for four years by refining alchemy, everything he had was lost to Cang Jie, whom he regarded as his teacher, in just one night.
The Taoist stripped him naked, and the only thing left for him was a shabby cloth from when he entered the sect.
"Dantian bursts!"
"He has indeed become a waste!"
"How can you, trash, deserve to stay in Lingyun Sect? How can you continue to wear the clothes of our Lingyun Sect? No wonder he is wearing coarse cloth today."
When the dust fell to the ground, the result was already clear. Several disciples who were already at odds with Shen Lang sneered unscrupulously. It seemed that in their eyes, Shen Langruo continued to wear Lingyun Sect's clothes, which was an insult to Lingyun Sect.
Shen Lang ignored those people and did not look at the high-ranking Taoist Cang Jie in the Zhengqi Hall. Instead, his eyes fell on a young and beautiful girl in the crowd.
"Xue Linglan."
The world is just a cold place. Shen Lang doesn't care about everyone in the Lingyun Sect, but he only cares about Xue Linglan. That is his lover, the woman he vowed to protect with his life, and the last trace of tenderness he has in the world. I still remember it.
, Xue Linglan’s sweet smile that she only showed to him was still hanging on that morning when the sun rose three days ago.
As if aware of Shen Lang's gaze, Xue Linglan walked up. The two eyes met in the air, and Shen Lang's eyes were like fire, as if there was some kind of hope. But Xue Linglan did not show her usual smile.
, with a cold and cold expression.
"After all, monks are different from mortals, and the world between you and me is also different." Xue Linglan's expression was indifferent, and her tone was a bit noble and cold. She was like a fairy above the nine heavens, looking down at the ridiculous mortals who wanted to renew their immortality.
Shen Lang felt a pain in his heart, and his pale and calm face looked a bit colder. Of course he knew that mortals were different from monks. He also understood that Xue Linglan wanted to draw a clear line with him! But what he wanted to see was
Just the last gentle smile! Even a simple word of respect or a simple farewell is fine!
But at this moment, Xue Linglan is so cold and heartless. Is the four-year relationship so worthless?
Our worlds are no longer the same. Isn’t it possible that we can’t even get together and part ways?
"Junior sister Linglan, do you know? Originally, I wanted to tell you to make you forget about me and stay in the sect to cultivate." Shen Lang's voice was hoarse, and his bitter smile was self-deprecating: "It seems that I am still
It’s too childish and too pretentious.”
"Can he really let it go? Even at this time, are you still thinking about me?" Xue Linglan's heart was shocked, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief. She originally thought that Shen Lang would be unable to let go of her four-year relationship.
, he would definitely pester her. So he became cruel and said cruel words.
"I've heard that a toad wants to eat swan meat, and a toad wants to abandon the white swan. This is the first time I've heard of it." A sneer came from the other side of the hall, and a man in traditional Tsing Yi waved a folding fan.
He walked over slowly: "Shen Lang, you have become a waste, why are you pretending to be noble here?"
The person who spoke was named Qi Hao, who was also one of the candidates for the top ten true disciples. He had a pretty good relationship with Shen Lang in the past... Of course, those so-called relationships were only with the past.
"Let's play, just him? He's a loser, what else can he say to make Senior Sister Linglan forget about him? Who does he think he is? Why does Senior Sister Linglan remember him?"
"That's right, Senior Sister Linglan has been appointed by the master master and will soon become a true disciple. How can she be compared to Shen Lang?"
"Shameless, he is just pretending to be kind to make Senior Sister Linglan feel guilty. This is naked revenge."
Disdainful voices sounded from everywhere. Perhaps it was because Xue Linglan's beauty was too touching, or maybe it was because Xue Linglan's cultivation talent was so good. Therefore, in the hearts of many disciples, such a cold and charming person has long been in their hearts.
Inviolable goddess.
Shen Lang, who once had a beautiful woman in his arms, was naturally the object of jealousy in many people's hearts. And his previous words completely ignited the long-suppressed anger in everyone's hearts.
Qi Hao listened to those sounds, shook his folding fan gently, and said with a smile to Xue Linglan beside him: "Junior sister, I think what the junior brothers said is very good, you must not mislead your Taoist heart because of this shameless person.
"
Xue Linglan ignored him, just stared at Shen Lang's eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to see something in Shen Lang's eyes. For example, tenderness? For example, reluctance? Or resentment? Maybe Shen Lang really meant it.
Do you have good intentions in order to mess up her Taoist mind?
"She doubted me!" Shen Lang noticed Xue Linglan's suspicious look, and felt a huge pain in his heart, and then burst into laughter: "Yes! I, Shen Lang, am a shameless person!"
"I was just pretending to be kind, just to make her feel guilty, and to mess with her Taoist mind."
Shen Lang laughed wildly, like a madman against the backdrop of the majestic and solemn atmosphere of the Zhengqi Hall. The aloof Taoist Cang Jie watched this scene in silence, while the disciples pointed and even started to curse Shen Lang. But the smile on Hao's face became thicker and more winning. He couldn't help but start to fantasize in his heart. Now that Shen Lang has become a useless person, is he one step closer to the position of a true disciple? After Shen Lang breaks up with Xue Linglan, does he have something to pursue? Chance?
"You are all just and noble!" Shen Lang, who was laughing maniacally, suddenly pointed at Qi Hao's nose and said: "Then Senior Brother Qi, oh, no, it should be Brother Qi. You owe me, a shameless person, three coins. When will the elixir be returned?"
The smile on Qi Hao's face quickly faded, and then he thought of this incident.
The conditions for becoming an alchemy master are very demanding, and the requirements for the soul are extremely high, so any alchemy master can be regarded as a hot commodity in the sect. Qi Hao has often begged Shen Lang in order to obtain the elixir. .But he didn't expect that Shen Lang would mention the matter again at this time.
Hearing the word elixir, not only Qi Hao was silent, but many disciples in the Zhengqi Hall lowered their heads at the same moment.
In fact, Qi Hao was not the only one who owed Shen Lang. In four years, there were people like Qi Hao who owed Shen Lang elixirs. Some people brought their own spiritual herbs and begged Shen Lang to make elixirs, and they owed a personal favor. But at this moment , those people are just holding the same idea...
Shen Lang was expelled from the master's school. No matter whether he owed pills or favors, he naturally didn't have to pay them back.
"Why aren't you talking?"
"Zhao Dejing, you and I were brothers before, why are you so silent now?"
"Li Qingshu, didn't you just shout that I was a shameless person?"
"Qi Hao, what do you say? When it comes to pills and spiritual stones, you are dumb?"
Silence, a dead silence, only Shen Lang's sneer echoed in the Zhengqi Palace.
"Shen Lang, you have been expelled from the sect. It is useless to ask for those pills and spiritual stones!" Qi Hao gritted his teeth and said.
"What happened to being expelled from the sect? What happened to the mortals? I don't need the elixir, can I feed it to the dogs? Can I use the spirit stone to float in water and play with it?" Shen Lang asked in return.
"You..." Qi Hao's face turned red, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. If there weren't elders from the sect present in the Zhengqi Hall, he might have already taken action.
"If you don't want to return the favor, just say so. What excuse are you looking for? I don't want it anymore, so I'll give it to you as a reward." Shen Lang's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and after lingering on Xue Linglan for a little longer, he finally landed on Xue Linglan. On the body of Taoist Cang Jie.
But he did not mention that Taoist Cangjie had robbed him of his spiritual stones and spiritual weapons. He just laughed and walked out of the Zhengqi Hall.
Four years ago, it was Taoist Cang Jie who brought him to Lingyun Sect. Many of his skills were also taught by Taoist Cang Jie. Now that his energy has been exhausted and he has become a useless person, many spiritual stones have been confiscated by Taoist Cang Jie, and he has the right to do so. This is to repay the kindness I received from you.
"The Hall of Righteousness? I, Shen Lang, am destined to have nothing to do with righteousness in this life."
"Xue Linglan, from today onwards we will sever all ties!"
"As for Lingyun Sect, I will come back sooner or later!"
Shen Lang looked back at the Zhengqi Palace for the last time, and resolutely went down the mountain. He was faintly trembled by a strange flame hidden deep in his soul...
In the silent hall, Xue Linglan glanced at Shen Lang's back for the last time. A trace of mist appeared in her eyes unknowingly, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Guilt, debt? Yes, the person who owes Shen Lang the most is actually not Qi Hao, nor Shen Lang's junior brothers, but Xue Linglan herself!
At most, others would occasionally borrow one or two pills, but how many pills has Xue Linglan received from Shen Lang in the past four years? I'm afraid she doesn't even remember them. Those pills are Shen Lang's hard work.
It was Shen Lang's deep affection for her!
The elixir may be able to repay it, but the debt of love cannot be settled or repaid.
So she had no choice but not to pay it back...
"Ling Lan, from today on, you are the true disciple of the head master, come with me to Lingxu Peak." In the Zhengqi Hall, Taoist Cang Jie had a kind face, even a little flattering.
Being favored by the master is no ordinary honor! Xue Linglan's achievements may even surpass him in the future!
"Congratulations, senior sister!"
All the disciples also bowed their hands and saluted with smiles on their faces. Everything about Shen Lang was forgotten by everyone with a tacit understanding, as if such a person had never existed in Lingyun Sect.
Under the stars holding the moon, Xue Linglan was as cold and arrogant as frost. Even the moisture in her eyes was evaporated by the true energy in an instant. "Shen Lang, don't blame me for being ruthless. You can only blame me for being destined to go to the Nine Heavens. And
