Capítulo 19: Me Feng's Dilemma
After the trial was over, an unprecedented wave swept up the whole sect, uprooting the whole structure and turning it upside down. The Sect Leader, Yu Minhe, was ruthless in her campaign, deeming those she hailed as suspicious traitorous people without hesitation.
The Grand Elder and Yu Shenmi watched her helplessly. They looked at each other. It seems like someone has agitated Little Men'er, turning her mood to the worst. The Sect Leader was hell-bent on causing unrest, striking those who felt uneasy with fear.
The suspicious elders were desperate. They have already shoved those magical balls up their back, but why did the Sect Leader still accuse them of betraying the sect, despite the undeniable proof of their innocence through her Heaven Gazer?
This is clearly an unreasonable request of a wronged woman! But who had wronged her so badly?
Yu Minhe coldly watched as those she deemed suspicious got what they deserved. So what if her eyes didn't catch anything? In the first place, as soon as that stinky disciple brought the matter to light with a reasonable alibi, she decided to be adamant in detaining them, so it didn't matter even if they were innocent.
Especially the Mu Family!
She has no time to spare her sympathy for those people. The only thing she cared about was the disciples of the sect, who served as its future.
"Stupid disciple and his undeniable spirit. Why did you have to snatch this heart?!"
She was frustrated, furious, shy, and lovestruck, everything was combined into this chaotic cluster of emotions. To vent them, Yu Minhe didn't hesitate to f*cked those who had ever crossed her path over.
In the end, 40% of the elders in the Grand Hall were detained. As long as there were proofs and witnesses of the accident, the Sect Leader could do anything to those involved and suspected as she pleased!
Who would dare to resist?
Only the Combat Department and the Detainment Hall came out clean. Having Yu Minhe herself as their backing, it was a guarantee that they'd come out safe, despite having the most dangerous occupation within the sect.
The Combat Department often involved itself in missions to extinguish the threats capable of exterminating the sect, and the danger was self-explanatory. The Detainment Hall gathered the grudges of all people, forcing those who didn't abide by the rules to bend their pride and even Dao Hearts. The position itself carried many hidden dangers.
Now, another meeting was held in the Grand Hall. But this time, most of the elders from the Pill Sanctuary were gone, leaving a sole elder who calmly stroked his beard. It was the same for the Scholar Tower and the Formation Constitution. Only the Detainment Hall and the Combat Department were left untouched, having most of their elders in the present.
"Elder Long!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
The frail-looking elder boldly stood up and respectfully addressed her. Yu Minhe's eyes are cold and ruthless, and despite her heart that cried out in grief, she did not hesitate!
"I've punished that stinky disciple. Make sure to make it harsh and cruel! Let him stare for a year in his golden years if you must!"
Elder Long, Audacious Little Be, the Grand Elder, and Yu Shenmi twitched. All of them have the same thought, "What did Me Feng do to make the aloof Yu Minhe rage so much?"
"And what harsh and cruel? You know exactly how ineffective such a punishment was to make the culprit regret it. It was an excuse to give her disciple a closed-door cultivation for a year!"
They strangely looked at each other. Then they glanced at the fuming Yu Minhe, whose face was cold as ice. However, they didn't dare to voice their opinion. Yu Minhe's cultivation is extremely profound, and it was exactly because of this that she could do as she pleased.
"Affirmative, Sect Leader! I'll bestow him the harshest of punishment known to man!"
"Now let's settle the other skirmishes to stabilize the sect."
A week later, the storm unleashed by Yu Minhe's fury has passed. Under the pressure of Yu Minhe's fury, those her eyes deemed as innocent actually admitted their sins out of fear and desperation, solidifying her accusation against them further.
This concreted the allegations and the suspicions of many elders, and as Yu Minhe's advisors, the Grand Elder and Yu Shenmi decided to actualize the cases, having the undeniable proof from the mouth of the culprit.
This also raised their caution. Even Yu Minhe's legendary Heaven Gazer could be tricked by whatever means they had. The Sect Leader remained steadfast and cold despite this unexpected variable, quickly taking care of any resistance. With that, the major problem of the sect was uprooted within a week, and it was all initiated by a couple of elders in charge of the Outer Division and a speech of a stinky disciple.
Yu Minhe snorted coldly, inwardly feeling shy and giddy by the opportunity given by that shameless disciple. It was a contradicting feeling on both sides.
Despite the outward threats, with this, at least the sect wouldn't be destroyed from the inside.
Many found this absurd. To think that a problem that spanned over generations could be solved just like that. Of course, the major factor was because of Yu Minhe's tyranny and luck. Multiple factors intertwined and coincided with each other, creating a spectacular reaction.
The internal issue was solved, but there's still an impending threat looming over the horizon.
In the Grand Hall, the elders did not show the slightest hint of relief. Their eyes are solemn as they contemplate deeply.
Beside Yu Minhe, Yu Shenmi icily declared, "The four major sects, the Ice Palace, the Tyrant Fist Sect, Yuan Sword Sect and the Wang Family have been in a consensus, it seems. One of my confidants witnessed a meeting between the four successors in the center of Qian Prefecture, the Huaxian City. Elders, what do you guys think?"
Meanwhile, in a remote mountain range near the banks of rivers located right outside the Soaring Cloud Sect, there was a tightly concealed and protected place covered with ethereal barriers. The range was packed with deep ravines and tall trees, and in several peaks, weapons and remnants scattered about, giving off a very eerie atmosphere.
It looks like the place of the forsaken, intended for those who were forsaken and abandoned, leaving them to their death.
In one of the peaks sat Me Feng, who blankly stared at one of the skeletons, with its lower body buried deep within the coarse dirt. The punishment was to self-reflect in the Forsaken Mountain Range for a year.
For Me Feng who had only been in this world for a couple of days, it would be a very long time.
"F*cking dumb**s, you really jumped straight into the gutter, huh? Proposing a literal Fairy as a mere weakling. You're not even qualified to compete against one of her suitors. Now see what you got..."
He wanted to curse himself some more, but his heart still beats in vigor. It never missed a beat. Me Feng clenched his chest, and with a mixed look, he sighed.
And he was just reminding himself not to carelessly spout out his 'diamond' words.
"I guess this is it."
However, a little smile graced his face as he saw the prompts. His eyes reflected his inner thoughts. A complex cluster of happiness and wryness, with a hint of desperation.
"Just what am I gonna do if you keep playing me like this..."
| The Soaring Cloud Sect's Sect Leader, Ye Minhe, adores you!
His heart beats fast. It beats as it roared, vowing to make sure what it sought would definitely be his in the end!
It was a foolish, stupid, nonsensical reaction. But Me Feng just put up a humorless smile, and he laughed out loud like a madman.
"You fool! You're truly a fool! Pursuing such a woman in my current situation, just what the hell is wrong with you?! Can't I like a normal woman with similar standing to mine that I can pursue?! Can't I just be a man who could marry a simple, obedient, beautiful little wife?! Why?! Just why do I have to love such Goddesses?!"
Me Feng knocked his own heart. He fisted his own chest with all of his force, demanding a reasonable answer to preserved his sanity that kept getting grated bit by bit. But the matters of the heart can never be logical, and he knew it too, deep within his little heart.
His heart's ambition is too great. So great that he struggled with all his might just to follow up its shadow.
In the lonely mountain range, Me Feng screamed with all his might, venting out all of his tragedy and despair. He's just a simple man who wants to feel love, but why?
Why does it keep doing this? Why can it only be moved by peerless women with standing far surpassed his status?
As he laid down like a moveless corpse, Me Feng took this moment of respite, where he could let go of all of his worries, to straighten up his mind. Even after all of that, he still felt this warmth, knowing that the Sect Leader intentionally bestowed this punishment to create a space of serenity for himself.
"She knew."
His face looked complex. Still, Me Feng refused to be muddled by this. The only thing he could do now was to march right up ahead, knowing that there was no other way than to pursue that Goddess, along with the peerless Sect Leader.
His weary eyes darted around the place before they set themselves on the additional prompts.
| Detected that the host has unclaimed boons. Do you wish to claim it?
| Detected that a new feature has been granted. Do you wish to check it out?
"Claim."
Me Feng clenched his fists. He must keep moving forward. This is what he determined as his dao heart, and he could not back down.
"I never thought it would be this difficult..."
He looked at the skeleton wryly. Although this place was peaceful, the eeriness was palpable. Me Feng just hoped he would get used to this
