Chapter 1134: Scapegoat

"Understood..." Yun Zhitian nodded slightly; since the sect leader had spoken, he had nothing more to say.

"Then... how should we handle the matter between us and Chen Yu?" Yun Zhitian hesitated and said, "Chen Yu's Cultivation is at least at the mid-stage of Entering the Dao. Even if the six of us fight him, it will be a mutual destruction."

"A Loose Cultivator, actually possessing the Cultivation of the mid-stage of Entering the Dao?" Qingsong's expression finally showed some movement, and he muttered, "Such a person, even our Cloud Hut Residence should not easily provoke, because we do not know what kind of background his sect has."

"Correct, and Dragon Breath seems to be very protective of him. If we want to move against him, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult," Yun Zhitian said.

"Then notify the disciples under our name: unless necessary, no one is allowed to cause trouble for Chen Yu. Those who violate this will definitely be severely punished," Qingsong said with a solemn expression.

Outside the main hall, a man was still kneeling on the ground, trembling. He was Zhou Xianzong, who had previously had his entire Cultivation crippled by Chen Yu.

Previously, within the Cloud Hut Residence, he had been riding high; no matter who saw him, they would respectfully call him Senior Brother. Even when his Cultivation was crippled, it provoked the sect leader's fury, directly dispatching the Six Great Elders to seek revenge for him.

But it seemed the Six Great Elders had kicked an iron plate; not only did they fail to avenge him, but they even lost one Elder.

More importantly, the mission at the border previously entrusted to him had been botched by him, leading to the deaths of dozens of people in a village. This matter had already provoked the fury of Dragon Breath, and now Dragon Breath was going to hold him accountable.

This time, this guy was completely finished. Everyone who saw him looked at him as if they were looking at a plague god, because everyone knew that he was truly finished this time. Even if the Cloud Hut Residence still supported him, this time they would inevitably drag him out to be the scapegoat.

Moreover, what he feared most now was that he was already a cripple, and Dragon Breath intended to support Chen Yu. If the sect leader really had to choose, the sect leader would certainly not choose him.

After all, Chen Yu's strength was very high, and the Six Great Elders had suffered a great loss when dispatched. If it weren't for him, it wouldn't have led to the loss of an Elder in the sect.

This time, even the sect leader who doted on him would probably be unable to help but vent his anger on him.

The Senior Brother whom everyone had previously revered was now kneeling on the spot like a stray dog. No one dared to approach him; everyone stayed far away from him.

A figure flashed, and Qingsong appeared before his eyes.

"Master, this disciple was wrong. I beg Master to spare this disciple this once. A teacher for a day is a father for life; we have a father-son bond after all." Seeing Qingsong come over, this guy thumped his head heavily on the ground and began to beg hysterically.

He was afraid of death; he was extremely afraid of death. Now the only thing he could gamble on was that Qingsong still had that master-disciple affection for him; after all, he had once been Qingsong's pride.

Qingsong stared at him for a long time. After a while, he sighed slightly and said, "Get up. No need to kneel."

"Ma... Master?" Zhou Xianzong raised his head to look at his master, unable to believe it. He suspected he had misheard.

"I told you to get up. What? Do you want to keep kneeling?" Qingsong glanced at him and said indifferently.

"No, I dare not get up. This time I committed a monstrous mistake, delayed the mission, caused Dragon Breath to vent their anger on our Cloud Hut Residence, and caused our sect's disciples to lose their key positions within Dragon Breath." Zhou Xianzong buried his head very low and wailed, "I am a sinner, Master. Even if I were to die, it would not offset the guilt I have caused."

"The injured Elder's Cultivation is not damaged. If the sect uses some Heavenly Treasures to nourish him for a period of time, he will naturally recover," Qingsong said indifferently. "And you don't need to have such heavy guilt. People, after all, will eventually make mistakes."

"Get up. I forgive you for this matter. Your Qi Sea Dantian was destroyed, and your entire Cultivation was washed away; this is irreversible. However, I can try to use some Heavenly Treasures to let you recover, but how much you can absorb depends on your own fortune," Qingsong said indifferently.

"Master... you, you forgave me?" Zhou Xianzong raised his head to look at his master, unable to believe it. He had committed such a big mistake, and Master just forgave him like this? This made him feel somewhat incredible.

"Yes, you are the disciple I value most. Besides, humans are not sages; everyone will eventually make mistakes. I won't hold this matter against you, but you also know what path you should take in the future," Qingsong said.

"Thank you, Master, thank you. I will definitely not cause any more trouble for the sect. In the future, even if I am just a sweeper in the sect, I am willing. I only ask to stay by Master's side to serve you." Zhou Xianzong was overjoyed. He banged his head several more times before standing up.

"But this incident should also serve as a warning to you. Not everyone can be offended. Stay away from Chen Yu in the future and never provoke him again. Do you understand?" Qingsong said.

"I understand, but Master, I don't understand. Chen Yu is just a Loose Cultivator. Our Cloud Hut Residence has hundreds of years of heritage and is now the number one sect in the world. Why should we fear him?" Zhou Xianzong had just escaped death, and now his true nature was revealed again.

"His own strength is at the mid-stage of the Human Dao, and he has the protection of Dragon Breath. More importantly, we know nothing about his sect's heritage. Such a person, can you afford to provoke him?" Qingsong said sternly. "Have some time to cultivate properly; don't think about those useless things. You are about the same age, yet you are so far behind others?"

Hearing that Qingsong's tone was not right, this guy instantly cowered. He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes, yes, I know, Master. I will definitely work hard in the future."

"Go to Shengjing. There are some things I need you to do," Qingsong said.

"Yes, Master," Zhou Xianzong nodded repeatedly.

Returning to Shengjing from Dragon Breath, although he had been away from home for less than a month, Chen Yu felt it had been a long time. With his parents, grandmother, and his daughter Yushan, who was as pretty as a porcelain doll, together, he finally felt the sense of home.

Yushan was almost two years old. With Chen Yu's care, her body was very sturdy, far exceeding children of her age. Moreover, her hair could already be tied up, and she walked with a vigorous stride, not at all like a little one who was not yet two years old.

She spoke clearly and was very bright.

In the few days since Chen Yu returned, he had been sticking with his daughter, holding her and strolling in the park morning and evening. The days were very comfortable.

Chen Yu even wanted to live this kind of life sooner, living with his parents and relatives, but there were still many things waiting for him to solve.

This day, Ye Qingning found Chen Yu, and the two strolled in the park by the residential area.
