Chapter 190: Taking Leave
Lu Zhou looked around his surroundings. He remained quiet even when he saw all his disciples kneeling on the ground. His gaze shifted from Ye Tianxin to Pan Zhong before he called out, “Pan Zhong.”
“I’m here.”
“If you want to return to the Clarity Sect, will the Clarity Sect agree to it?” Lu Zhou asked indifferently.
Pan Zhong fell to his knees immediately and declared his allegiance. “Pavilion Master, since I’ve joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, I’ve never thought about leaving. If you didn’t give me the Six Yang Technique, I’ll still be afflicted by the bitter cold. As long as I live, I’ll be a person of the Evil Sky Pavilion; if I die, I’ll be its ghost.”
“I was saying, what if,” Lu Zhou said.
“What if?” Pan Zhong scratched his head and said, “If I return, I think I would be cut into eight chunks before I could even reach the main entrance…”
Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes and said, “What did you do that you’re not even deserving of a second chance to make amends?”
“It’s not about making amends. This is the Clarity Sect’s rules. The elders stick to the rules rigidly,” Pan Zhong said.
“Your cultivation base isn’t restored yet… You’ll attract too much attention if you bring them along with you, and you’ll easily be a target,” Mingshi Yin said.
Ye Tianxin nodded. She was now a clay Buddha that was trying to cross the river. She could hardly fend for herself. She could not act as though she was her former self.
Mingshi Yin smiled faintly. “Don’t be upset. Master didn’t kill you, and he has taken out Wei Zhuoyan. This is a wonderful show of grace… Moreover, master merely told you to leave. He didn’t say anything about banishing you from the pavilion. This shows that he isn’t that heartless after all.”
Ever since Ye Tianxin was captured and brought back to the Evil Sky Pavilion, she rarely had contact with her master. She did not know that her master had changed. With a befuddled expression, she said, “Fourth Senior Brother, are you telling me that I still have a chance?”
“Of course,” Mingshi Yin said with a nod, “I’ll try and slowly persuade master. Perhaps, his anger will fade in the future.”
“I certainly hope so.” Ye Tianxin’s expression brightened up immediately.
“Moreover, you saved little junior sister. Master is most fond of her. I’ll try my best to trick… uh, persuade little junior sister to put in a good word for you in front of master,” Mingshi Yin said.
When Ye Tianxin heard this, she bowed at Mingshi Yin and said, “Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother.”
“We’re both fellow disciples, there’s no need to thank me,” Mingshi Yin looked beyond the barrier and said, “Forget the main road, take the inconspicuous roads instead… Also, before your cultivation base is restored, you shouldn’t show your face in public.”
Ye Tianxin nodded. Then, she faced the female cultivators. At this moment, she seemed to have turned into a cold noble lady, “Although we’re sisters, you’ll only be in danger if you follow me… You’ll remain here in the Evil Sky Pavilion and look after my master on my behalf.”
“Palace Master!” All the female cultivators fell their knees in unison.
