Di Qing was confused.
He didn't understand, what had he done wrong? He had only said what he thought, spoken the truth, and then his senior brother decided to expel him from the sect?
Why was this happening?
He slowly got up from the ground, unable to comprehend.
Had he said anything wrong? Why was he being expelled?
He looked at his former fellow disciples. Now, whether it was his senior brother or junior brothers, their gazes upon him were extremely peculiar.
It was a look he had never seen before.
"Senior brother, you all..."
"Let's go."
Jian Chen'an, with a somber face, turned away, no longer looking at his former junior brother.
"Alright... alright..."
A wry smile appeared on Di Qing's face: "For the sake of Misty Immortal Palace's reputation, what did I do wrong? You, to treat me like this?"
Huang Derui had been watching all along. Even now, this person remained stubbornly unrepentant, which he found utterly absurd.
"Don't you feel ashamed?"
Huang Derui couldn't help but shake his head and speak.
"Ashamed?"
Di Qing's eyes suddenly widened, staring intently at Huang Derui. His true qi surged again.
"Want to do it again?"
Huang Derui didn't flinch, preparing to engage. No warrior from the Northern Border ever backed down.
Since this fellow enjoyed causing trouble so much, he would handle it properly.
Almost simultaneously, Jian Chen'an and Wu Zongshen restrained Di Qing.
"Apologies, it's our problem. We'll escort him away now."
With that, the two directly escorted Di Qing away. Huang Derui then turned to the other two Misty Immortal Palace disciples and said, "Once you've finished eating, go for your afternoon nap. You have training to continue this afternoon."
"Yes."
Afterward, Huang Derui went to report the situation to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen pondered: "You continue your training this afternoon. This Di Qing... with his personality, if he's expelled from Misty Immortal Palace, he might become a great threat."
"Yes."
Huang Derui also realized that if Di Qing were truly expelled, he might then enter the world, and no one knew what he would do then.
After Huang Derui left, Ye Chen began the necessary procedures. Lin Xiao had told him later that this was a mandatory process.
Misty Immortal Palace disciples who clearly exhibited psychological problems had to be registered, and the National Security Bureau would be tasked with monitoring them.
Additionally, Ye Chen had to personally admonish Di Qing.
...
After all the formalities were completed, Di Qing's uniform had been changed. His expression was still somewhat dazed.
By this point, he had finally calmed down considerably.
Just moments ago, he had been punished by Ye Chen and reprimanded. In his anger, he had acted impulsively.
Of course, what he had said were his true feelings.
But...
To be suddenly expelled from Misty Immortal Palace, what could he do afterward? What was he supposed to do?
If he no longer pursued the path of ascension, what else could he do?
He had cultivated for most of his life, and suddenly, it was gone. He truly wasn't accustomed to it.
Before he left, he looked at his senior brother not far away. He quickly got up and walked over.
"Senior Brother Jian, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken nonsense just now..."
