"Elder Gu, you..."

Zhao Chuanfeng did not have the thick skin that Liu Ningkong had. He didn't faint after being severely scolded; all he felt was humiliation, as if his face had been publicly ripped off.

He never dreamed that Gu Xiaoxian would publicly insult him so brazenly.

One must know, he, Zhao Chuanfeng, was not without background in Heavenly Martial Sect.

On the contrary.

His background was even stronger than Liu Ningkong's. Among the more than twenty Elders in Heavenly Martial Sect, at least two had a special relationship with him.

And each of them was crucial.

Their status and influence in Heavenly Martial Sect were slightly superior to Gu Xiaoxian's.

For Gu Xiaoxian to scold him like this, was he not even giving face to the Elders behind him?

What did Gu Xiaoxian want to do!

"Do what?"

"Not convinced?"

"I'm telling you, today you must publicly apologize to Li Yun, compensate Li Yun for his losses, and promise not to bully Outer Sect Disciples anymore. Otherwise, let alone Elder Hai Fen of Disciplinary Hall going to the Main Hall, I will go to the Main Hall too!"

"I want to ask the Main Hall, will the Outer Sect of Heavenly Martial Sect still be run in the future?"

Hiss!

Everyone present gasped.

For someone of Gu Xiaoxian's status to personally cause a scene at the Disciplinary Hall Main Hall, it was no less than a sudden clap of thunder, and it was under the banner of Outer Sect Disciples being bullied.

Good heavens.

Even someone with a slow mind would know that the Disciplinary Hall Main Hall would definitely not let Zhao Chuanfeng off.

It wasn't about giving face to Gu Xiaoxian, but because the Disciplinary Hall Main Hall, with its prestige, had to consider the feelings of the hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples.

Heavenly Martial Sect had two hundred thousand disciples, one hundred thousand were in the Outer Sect.

If the hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples questioned the Disciplinary Hall, would the Disciplinary Hall still have prestige in the future? How could it enforce Sect rules and mete out punishments?

Perhaps the Heavenly Punishment Ruler in the hands of the Martial Hall Patrol would be treated as a fire poker.

In the face of such a major matter concerning the prestige of the Disciplinary Hall, let alone Zhao Chuanfeng being useless, even the Elders behind him coming would be useless!

Zhao Chuanfeng panicked, panicked completely.

He knew what the consequences would be if this matter reached the Main Hall. Not to mention being directly expelled from Heavenly Martial Sect, which was too severe, at least it would be impossible for him to be promoted to True disciple in the future.

His future would be completely ruined.

However, for him to apologize to Li Yun, and publicly apologize, how could that be?

Once he apologized, would he still have any face?

His fiancée had even come to have a private meeting with someone, and not only could he not settle the score with the other party, he had to publicly apologize to him. Where was the justice in this world?

How utterly aggrieved?

Thinking of this, Zhao Chuanfeng's eyes turned red.

"Ah, don't be angry, don't be angry, Elder Gu, why get so angry over such a small matter?"

Just then.

The person Lin Tieshu sent to notify the Inner Disciplinary Hall arrived. Not only did he arrive, but he had already learned the entire process on the way, only to hear Gu Xiaoxian's furious scolding as soon as he arrived.

His guts were almost scared out of him.

If the Inner Disciplinary Hall couldn't handle this matter, and the Outer Sect Grand Elder, Sect Elder Gu Xiaoxian, had to go to the Main Hall to seek justice, then what was the point of the Inner Disciplinary Hall?

Might as well just dismantle the Inner Disciplinary Hall.

Elder Xie Yuchuan, who happened to be on duty at the Inner Disciplinary Hall today, inwardly cried out his bad luck.

But he still quickly ran to Gu Xiaoxian to appease him.

He repeatedly guaranteed that this matter would definitely give an explanation to the Outer Sect and to the injured Outer Sect Disciple.

Gu Xiaoxian's expression finally eased slightly, and he agreed to let Xie Yuchuan handle the matter.

Xie Yuchuan was also extremely efficient. Without a word, he pulled Zhao Chuanfeng aside.

"Zhao Chuanfeng, I have understood today's matter. You are indeed wrong, there is no room for Refutation!"

"I will only tell you one thing. If you don't want the two Sect Elders behind you to lose face, you must take responsibility for this matter today. Apologize when you should, compensate when you should."

"What, Elder Xie, even you want me to apologize publicly? I..."

Zhao Chuanfeng glared at Xie Yuchuan as if he had suffered great humiliation.

Xie Yuchuan was expressionless: "If you don't want to apologize, you can. Then I will take you back to the Inner Disciplinary Hall and, in the name of the Disciplinary Hall, strip you of your Inner Sect Disciple status and expel you from the Sect."

"Afterwards, I will personally go to apologize to the two Elders."

"But I believe the two Elders will not be angered by me because of this."

"You..."

Zhao Chuanfeng suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Let me tell you clearly again, in recent years, Inner Sect Disciples often bullying Outer Sect Disciples has already made Elder Gu very angry. He has been waiting for an opportunity to completely rectify this chaotic situation."

"Your actions today are equivalent to you offering yourself as leverage to Elder Gu!"

"Even just to appease Elder Gu, you will be heavily punished today. After apologizing and compensating, you still have to go to the Inner Disciplinary Hall dungeon for at least three months, not a day less!"

"How to choose is up to you!"

At this point, Zhao Chuanfeng was completely helpless.

He even understood that Xie Yuchuan was actually saying these words to him because he had been promoted by the two Elders behind him in the past, out of respect for their face.

Otherwise, with his status as an Elder of the Inner Disciplinary Hall, if he directly arrested him and dealt with him severely and quickly, he would not have had any chance to complain.

In utter helplessness, Zhao Chuanfeng could only admit defeat.

"I understand... I will apologize."

After saying this, he was like a deflated ball, completely losing his previous momentum.

Then, led by Xie Yuchuan, he walked to the entrance of Carefree Cloud Abode.

He bowed publicly to Li Yun and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive. I hope Junior Brother Li Yun can forgive me..."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, but seemed afraid of being discovered, so he quickly loosened them again. His entire hand trembled, trembling non-stop.

In his opinion, this was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life.

The killing intent in his heart towards Li Yun had reached its extreme.

Li Yun watched his trembling hands and sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he was unusually gentle.

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

"Actually, Senior Sister Zhang is here mainly to discuss sword techniques with Elder Gu and Elder Zhang. I didn't even get to say a word... So, if Senior Brother Zhao wants to apologize, he should apologize to Senior Sister Zhang instead."

"As for compensation, a mere plaque is not worth much money. It doesn't matter if it's broken. Let's just say I'll change the name of my residence. I won't hang a plaque in the future, I'll just call it Nameless Abode!"

Saying this.

Li Yun also showed a warm smile on his face.

Gu Xiaoxian watched and praised repeatedly, "Excellent, kind and generous, this is the broad mind that my Heavenly Martial Sect disciples should have! Zhao Chuanfeng, learn from him!"

"If a person doesn't even have this much tolerance, and gets angry and agitated all day over trivial matters, what is there to talk about comprehending the world, and what is there to use to climb the Martial Dao!"

"Yes..."

Zhao Chuanfeng completely lowered his head, but only he himself knew how strong the killing intent in his heart was.
