Chapter 1: Severance of Relations
The main hall of the sect is located surrounded by mountains, simple and majestic.
Many disciples in the hall discussed in a whisper, and their eyes full of contempt and disdain were cast at the young man kneeling in the center of the main hall.
The young man's eyebrows were clear and handsome, and there was no trace of emotion reflected in his inky pupils, but his face had lost its blood color and was unusually pale.
Under the eye-catching statue of the patriarch in the main hall, the second elder turned his back to everyone and remained silent for a long time.
After being quiet for a long time, the third elder on the side smoothed his beard, smug flashed in his eyes, and sneered: "I don't know the second elder...... How long do you want us to wait? ”
In the face of naked ridicule, the second elder ignored it.
He bowed respectfully and slowly to the statue, turned to look at the kneeling boy, his eyes softened for a moment, and he murmured in an imperceptible voice, "Dusty ......"
As soon as he spoke, the second elder stopped his voice, his gaze swept over everyone, his eyes gradually sharpened, and the aura that belonged to the strong man of the acquired period emanated, showing the majesty and spirit of the elder.
"Ten years ago, I, Hong Tao, adopted Qi Mingchen, who was less than five years old, as a righteous son, and only half a year later, the foundation was successfully built, and I was only one step away from awakening the spiritual root to the Dan period. The sect regarded him as hope and poured a lot of resources into it. ”
Hearing this, Qi Mingchen closed his eyes, his fingers slightly retracted, as if listening calmly.
"Qi Mingchen, you have been unable to awaken the spiritual root for a long time, you have not been able to pass the outer gate assessment, the sect has hope for you, in order to allow you to practice wholeheartedly, you can maintain your status as a disciple of the outer sect. For so many years, you are ashamed of the careful cultivation of the sect! ”
The Second Elder's tone was mixed with disappointment and anger, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at him tremblingly, "Qi Mingchen, you have disappointed the sect too much!" It's also so disappointing for me! ”
The voice echoed in the main hall, and the surrounding disciples were quiet, not daring to discuss it anymore, the three elders snorted lightly and watched this scene with cold eyes.
Soon, the second elder's emotions calmed down, he exhaled deeply, closed his eyes and said, "Now, it's time to have a broken ......."
"In the name of the Second Elder of the Canglong Sect, I declare that from now on, Qi Yingchen will have nothing to do with me Hong Tao!"
"At the same time, if you still fail the outer door assessment after half a year......" The second elder looked at Qi Mingchen and spit out two words indifferently:
"Expulsion!"
In the midst of the uproar, Qi Mingchen raised his eyes, his lips moved, but he didn't make any sound.
The other elders put pressure, and he was not surprised by such an outcome.
"Master, at that time, you were so strong that you had to give the quota to the junior brother, so now ......"
At this time, a voice sounded suddenly, and a meticulously dressed young man with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth stepped forward and asked tentatively.
This person is none other than the second elder's eldest disciple, Liu Minghua!
Hearing this, the other disciples discussed one after another, "Yes, this is the quota for one month of cultivation in the Sword Pavilion's cultivation formation, and the Sword Pavilion is a second-class sect, if I can go in and take a look, I will be satisfied, let alone cultivate for a month!" ”
"There are only seven places in the whole sect, or because our sect is in the top two under the affiliated forces of the Sword Pavilion, we can only get so many, and there are only two places in the outer sect, why should he occupy one of them!"
Liu Minghua heard everyone's discussion, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but he didn't say much, just pretended to be worried and glanced at Qi Mingchen, and then looked at the second elder, waiting for his answer.
The second elder snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve robe and turned to leave, leaving the rest of the people looking at each other, unable to figure out what he meant.
Qi Mingchen, who was kneeling in the hall, looked ahead without saying a word, and the other disciples also mocked when they saw this, "I deserve it, I waste the resources of the sect, if I find a wall and crash to death!" ”
"At the beginning, it was rumored how powerful he was, and he went from the first floor of the foundation to the peak of the foundation in just half a year, and he was really a man of the year at that time!"
"What's the use of that? Building a foundation is just to exercise the physical body and prepare for the awakening of the spiritual root, which can be practiced by everyone, but even the spiritual root cannot be awakened, what else is there to cultivate? No matter how fast the foundation building period improves, he can only be an ordinary person in the future! ”
While everyone was mocking, Liu Minghua walked to the center of the hall with a kind smile, patted Qi Mingchen's shoulder, and comforted: "Ah Chen is fine, as long as the quota is still there, you will still have a chance to cultivate in the future." ”
He raised his head, glanced at Liu Minghua, and said lightly: "Master raises love...... However, this place should have nothing to do with your brother. ”
Hearing his words, Liu Minghua's pupils shrank, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, and the original kindness no longer existed, replaced by a little killing intent, "With such a valuable quota, if something happens to the junior brother, I will be very sad!" ”
"As long as you don't harm me, I can live well." Qi Mingchen moved his gaze back and didn't look at him.
"Ahem!"
The third elder suddenly coughed a few times, and the noise around him stopped instantly, and Liu Minghua, who originally wanted to say something, could only give up temporarily.
"Since the Second Elder has made such a decision, then in the future, Qi Mingchen should no longer enjoy the preferential treatment of the sect like ordinary disciples, and resume to become a miscellaneous disciple!"
"Great! The three elders are wise! ”
"I can't get used to seeing a disciple of the outer sect in the foundation building period for a long time, it's simply a loss of face for the sect!"
The third elder raised his hand with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's all gone, go back and cultivate well, and get busy with your own affairs." ”
Everyone couldn't help but feel close to the three elders who had always had a gentle attitude, and after saluting respectfully, everyone left with smiles on their faces.
Soon, Qi Mingchen was the only one left in the hall, and he was alone digesting a series of blows.
After a long time, looking at the statue of Shizu, he said softly, "Who am I?" ”
Ten years ago, he was ignorantly brought back to the sect by the second elder to accept him as a righteous son, and he reached the peak of foundation building after half a year of cultivation.
The sect regards him as a once-in-a-century genius!
What a beautiful scenery he was at the beginning, but he didn't make any progress for ten years, which made him fall off the altar and suffer from cynicism.
What did he do wrong?
I lost everything little by little, and now I have lost my only family affection!
"I should ...... What to do? ”
His voice became hoarse, staring at the statue of the Ancestor, longing for the belief of the Canglong Sect to suddenly appear and bring him miracles and direction.
But no one answered.
Qi Mingchen smiled bitterly, tidied up the hem of his clothes, and left slowly.
Back in the library where he worked, there were other disciples sitting in his place, and after seeing Qi Mingchen again, this person instantly said arrogantly: "Isn't this a waste that has become a miscellaneous disciple?" If you become a handyman, you can no longer do the work of an outer disciple! Later you get out and do the cleaning! ”
"Really?" Qi Mingchen replied lightly, turned around and walked out directly, and when the outer disciple saw him with such an attitude, he shouted unhappily: "No one is sheltering waste, what else is it pretending!" ”
He stopped and said without looking back: "One of the rules of the Library Pavilion is not to make loud noises, if you continue like this, this seat will probably be changed tomorrow." ”
The outer disciple lowered his voice and said viciously: "What is your attitude towards me, you are now a miscellaneous disciple, you dare to provoke me without your good fruit to eat!" ”
Qi Mingchen turned his head and shook him, and said without any emotion: "So respectful outer disciple, it's time for me, a 'lowly' miscellaneous disciple, to go to work, please let me go with a lot." ”
In the face of the words that seemed to be lowered, how could the outer disciples hear that something was wrong, and just as they were thinking about how to continue to mock him, they saw that the person had left in a hurry and disappeared.
